Good Story Cut Short.

Chauncey M. Depew was recently
telling a good story with great gusto
when a girl in the party laughed. He
stopped with frown. Whats the
natter" he asked. 1T is one of the
last stages" said the girl. "You are
telling me story of my own that
told you only half an hour ago"
Whereupon Senator Depew, suddenly
and ominously quiet, walked to the ex-
IRENE rear for the first time in his
life and took seat there.-New York
Times.

Hair Of All Shades.

NJ SJ90S8s
No one has visited Fiji In the past
without being astonished at the fear
full and wonderful styles Of hairdress-
ing. They are geometrical, monu-
mental, pyramidal and trapezoidal. An
additional factor in this production of
the grotesque is that the hair varies
in color as lime varies in bleaching
power, or as the juice of the mangrove
in coloring matter. Between black
and white the colors run through the
blue-black and all the shades of red
and yellow. Often half the hair is red
and the other half white, giving kind
of piebald effect.
