Gray Hair Is
Now the Fashion.

Here's a new state of thingsl Gray
hair is no longer to be dreaded. Instead,
society women now welcome the coming
of gray hairs.
Not long ago Titan brown hair was
the ultra smart hair to have. II ones
own hair didn't happen to grow in that
fashionable artistic shade. a pilgrimage
was at once taken to Paris for the pur-
pose Of changing dusky locks, gold
locks and gray locks 10 Titan brown.
In that gay city where fa6s and fash
ions spring up in day. an odd little
Frenchman lived on the Rue de RIVAL,
who had learned wen the art of chang
ing any hair TO Titan brown. His Gus
toners were principally Americans. and
his prosperity for the time being was
great
But now things have changed The lit
tie Frenchman who could produce such
exquisite shades of Titan brown hair
finds business dull. The fad for dyeing
the hair has gone out. and the women
of the smart set are welcoming with
JOY every new gray hair that appears
Some say the new fad started when
William K Vanderbilt, ST.. brought his
new bride 10 New York, for Mrs. Van
derbilt's hair is thickly sprinkled with
gray.
Today the gray hair Is treasured. and
hair dressers are instructed not to hide
the gray lock. but to arrange Il so II
will be conspicuous in the couture and
show to its best advantage.

wife, Attorney John r. Won Seggern. ex-
State senator, delivered a most touch

and no sermon for the dead was preach
ed But there could have been nothing
more beautiful or touching than the
eulogy OF the bereaved husband offered
over the coffin OF the mother OF his
children. as II was lowered into its last
resting place IN Spring Grove Cemetery.

Sleeve Styles
in Vogue.

So far removed are we from that day
when everybody wore a plain. tight
sleeve, or a voluminous full sleeve. as
the case might be, that now the fashion
able woman has 10 think long and hard
before she can decide as to the shape
and style Of her sleeve.
There are as many different styles
approved by fashion as the most capri
cious woman could wish. She may have
two dozen frocks with a different style
In each, and yet all Of the latest mode.
For evening wear there is a dainty
sleeve of three-duarter length, to be
worn with or without lace mittens or
undersleeves. A lace epaulet finishes 1t
at the top. and under 1T the chiffon
gauze or silk muslin is very closely but
fatty plated. the ends falling in two
handkerchief 3oints.
CrinOline Required.
Many Of the sleeves that jut Out above
the wrist are supported by stin crino-
line. so that they may not droop for

bag shape, with very full puff. which Is
stiffencd with a crinoline lining and
plated into silk cum with rows Of
fagot embroidery. Black velvet ribbon
is threaded in and out of the fullest
part
In another style. halfway down from
the shoulder. the plaits are allowed to
fall free. and form an immensely wide
puff. which is actually wired so that il
may be kept in position. 1t is gathered
into a mousquetaire cuff.
The long sleeve for evening is still
available for those who are conscious OF
unsatisfactory color or shape in their
arms, but il is not imperative A pretty
way OF making the sleeve full length
Is to lay II in horizontal pleats or folds

frills precisely like the corolla of

Still another sleeve is closely shirrec
as far down as the elbow. below which
n series of overlapping square tabs form

This seems a hard life. To face it
would strike terror to the hearts Of
women in milder climates and care

northerr. sister has no thought of need
ing pity. The icy air Is like wine to
her hardy frame. Her warm blood
dances through her young veins, and
her eyes sparkle as brightly as the sun
beams Oh the glittering icebergs among
which she lives.
Nor is she Indifferent TO her dress,
though silks, velvets and laces are I'M

pleasing 10 her taste as the latest We
