which adorns the head of the homeliest
little woman of Japan. Dark, lustrous,
of length to fall to the knees or the
heels when free, but arranged always
with the exquisite orderliness and the
artistic effectiveness which shows the
pride of a woman in her supreme
adornment, it crowns the lady and the

A kidnapped Artist.

Henry de Groux, an artist Of great
though somewhat eccentric talent, and
an interesting If peculiar, personality,
tells an extraordinary story to-day of
his having been kidnapped and for
chilly shut up in a madhouse at Flor
ence. He lived formerly in Paris,
where he painted some years ago his
large and remarkable canvas, Christ
and the Smiters," now, l believe, in
an English private collection. A year
ago he states that he went to Flor
ence, and worked hard, and with some
success there at irst. After a time
he found himself in money difficulties,
and he Acknowledges that worry acted
upon his nerves One day he was car-
ried OH from his abode by forcible
means, and confined in a lunatic asy-
lum in the town. Though driven al
most desperate by confinement. with
insane psdents. 1maniacs, degenerates,
and iE.beciles In various states Of
mental disorder he kept sufficient con-
troll over himself to reassure his doc
tors, whom he describes as fools, and
at length he was allowed to take walks
in Florence with a keeper. This af-
forded him the opportunity for which
he was waiting, and one day he fed
from his attendant, eluding the lat
ters pursuit. He was free, but abso-
lutely penniless. Nevertheless, he de-
cided that his only plan for safety was
to reach the French frontier He
walked to Leghorn then by Viareggio
and La Spezzia to Genoa, where. worn
out with fatigue and nearly starving,
he sank down fainting in the porch OF
church. Some charitable persons
found him, and by their assistance he
was able to travel to Marseilles. No
one who has met NJ. de Groux, while
acknowledging his eecentricities of APP
pearanee and behavior. can doubt his
sanity-London Daily Telegraph.

enters the store he secures his ticket

time the barber finishes with the GUS
toner in hand he turns small lever

and at the same time changes the
number, which indicates who is next
