II Is eminently correct to wear
leaves In ones hair, and apparently
many women are forsaking their tiaras
and crowns for simple green leaves.
At the debutante dance Of December
these small chaplets were extremely
popular and Mrs. John Jacob Aston
has been seen with her brown hair
clasped by white leaves, tipped with
brilliants. The jewelers. who followed
closely the approval Of the fashionable
women are manufacturing silver and
enameled leaves. but the simpler silk
bits of trimming are In better taste.
Flowers are not worn in the hair this
winter. although the holiday season
brought forth the use OF holly, and,
with some women, sprigs Of mistletoe.
Begonias are enjoying popularity this
year and some headdresses are made
gay with these waxy flowers. Pink.

begonias suffer In consequence.-New

The Woman Of Polse.

The woman of poise INDUCES in few
EXPLANATIONS or superlatives. and
does not waste enthusiasm over
trihes. She is gracious, but never
gushing and she has acquired the
habit of listening attentively, not
awaiting with ill-concealed eagerness
a pause in the conversation to enable
her to rush In and take the floor. The
woman of poise never fingers after
her goodbye has been spoken; never.
In fact, under any circumstances
talks long while standing. She does
not experience the difficulty too
many people have Of taking leave
gracefully. She says goodbye, gives
you bright smile, and is off to the
pleasure or duty which awaits her.
You do not find out all there is to
know about the woman the first time
you meet her; you become acquainted
with her by degrees and grow gradu.
ally into her friendship.

Hall Gaines Idea.

At recent banquet in London Hall
Game informed his hearers that the
mission Of the playwright is to amuse
the great public, and by virtue Of so
doing to put money in the purse Of
the managers, the actors, the supers
and the chorus. Nothing but Mr..
Gaines well-known modesty, 1t is to
be presumed, prevented him from in.
Guiding the author in the list Of
desirable beneficiaries. Put money in
thy purse! 1t is the motto of Othello's
ancient of all other people of his
stripe back to the hero of the thirty
pieces of silver. AS for those who &C.
cuse Mr.. Game of deserving the cause
of art for that of gold, they "wallow in
the backwater of their own incompe-
tence." The argument somehow
seems to suffer from what the Greeks
called anacoluthon, or, as we say in
the vulgar, its trousers don't hitch to
its suspenders, leaving Mr.. Caine open
to the smack Of chastisement. Yet
"waliow In the backwater of their own
incompetence" is good.

THE SQUIRREL SKIN CRAZE.
Fashion Made to Help Along Project
Of Russian Finance.

Fashion Made to Help Along a Project
Of Russian Finance.
The story of the sudden rise to pop.
ularity OF squirrel skin In the world of
dress this season is not generally
known. It was brought about by the
ingenuity of Russian official.
For years and years certain Russian
peasants in Siberia paid their taxes in
squirrel skins. This being an old
custom, the Cars government did not
care to cause hardship and breed dis.
content by changing 1t.
But there was little demand for
Russian squirrel skins. The whole
American trade took only 10000 skins
per annum at the low price Of twelve
cents each.
The skins accumulated in the Rus.
sian government warehouses in 81.
IBERIA. There were millions upon mil
lions OF them piled up there.
The official In question, knowing
that the skins were light in weight,
soft and warm, decided last year to
test the caprice of fashion In respect
to them. He went over to Paris,
called upon famous dressmaker, and
persuaded him to use some Of the
skins.
The idea was a success. Paris set
the pace. English society folk took up
the fashion and fashionable Ameri-
cans brought the squirrel skin craze
across the water to this side.
The result in this country has been
that in 1902 the United States import
ed nearly 100000 squirrel skins Mt
about 81 cents each, wholesale. as
against 10000 at IL cents each in 1901.
The rest OF the world was equally lib
eral.
The great demand emptied the Sibe.
rian warehouses Of Russian squirrel
skins at a considerable profit.-New

Immediately accepted the invitation,

Surely yes. and the group set forth

Ascending the stairs, the gentle
