For the Up-to-Date Girl

rose petals. arranged on chiffon with PINK
taffeta for the lining.
Not the least important Of the acces-
sories included in the outfit Of the present
day young woman are those for her hair.
She must have ornaments suitable for
different occasions. and her hair must be
arranged in accordance. Now that It Is
unpardonable to keep on ones hat during
the play the subject Of a becoming codf-
fure is a more serious one than ever be-
fore. To adapt a style particularly suited
to the individual wearer Is the secret OF
success in this, as in other features OF
fashion. To the ornament that a woman
wears i'm her hair is due large share OF
her charm. and consequently it should be
carefully selected. Flowers are the pret-
tiest ornaments.-Marion Bell in March

Brave men in the audience at length
arose to deal with the latter Col.
John p. Irish, the weil-lnown ora
tor and politician, at present naval
officer of the port of San Francisco,
approached the frenzied man with
soothing gesture and word, only to
be promptly covered with the weapon
he carried. The colonel afterward
confessed that he never before real
lied how enormously large in dame
ter the month of a pistol is when
you are permitted TO look at such
close range into It. While he was par
leying with the maniac the latter hes
itated, other members of the church,
who had come up from behind, seized
and disarmed him, after which he
submitted peacefully, and was led
out of the edifice. An examination
showed him to be insane, and he was
taken to an asylum.
After his removal the congregation
gradually composed itself. Those
who had crawled behind seats
emerged shamed-facedly, and a few
who had sought the open air ven-
tured to their places; though one
timid sister afterward confessed that
at the first intimation of danger she
jumped over the back of the pew and
ran at fun speed out OF the church
four blocks away to her home. Prof.
Griggs meanwhile calmly sat down,
passed his hand once or twice over
his face as II striving TO collect his
thoughts, and then, quiet having been
restored. went on with his discourse
speaking entirely without notes, and
in his usual gentle and fluent man
ner. No one, casually entering, would
have imagined from his mannei
that the flow of his ideas had beer
so violently interrupted or that h'
himself had escaped a great persona
danger, all of which goes to show
that non-resistant may be quite az
courageous as a ready fighter, an'
display a nobler type Of manliness.
