A Home Thrust.

There is one story about the late
Henry Bergh which. 1t is believed, is
now for the first time in print While
walking about the streets of New York
City one morning he saw a teamster
whipping .balky horse.
Stop that. you brute" he ex-
claimed. "or I'll have you locked I'D
inside of five minutes. Why don't you
try kindness on the animal? Don't
you suppose horse can be reached by
a kind word, the same as a human be-
ing?"
Il blieye ye're right, sor." replied
the teamster, a qulck-witted Irishmah,
who, withsaH his faults .ofnemper. was
not bad man AT. heart. "an' If harse
has feelip's, eor. don't We s'pose his
driver has, too? Thry koind wor-rd
on tn dhriver, If We plase"
The stern face of Mr. Bergh relaxed
into smile. and In the better under
standing that followed the horse forgot
that 1t was baking. and started Off in
a trot. :.

Women Who Won Success.

In a recently published work there
are found the names of 1l,J9l living
men and women, together with brief
biographical sketches giving, as far as
possible, birth, parentage, education,
marriage and profession. OF these
names 977 are women, "A ratio of Ito
II 2-3. Sixteen out of this number are
well-known actresses and opera sing
ers who are Americans neither by
birth nor residence; six are ladies' OF
social prominence, wives of dlstln-
guished men, and one is a deposed
queen. which leaves 954 to be consider
ed in this paper. In order OF numbers
they stand as follows: Authors includ-
ing novelist; essayist writer, poet, MS
torian, 4S7; artists. including painter
sculptor, engraver. etcher, illustrator
and architect 1903; educators, includ-
ing lecturers. 81; journalists, Including
editor, critic and correspondent, %;
actresses, 80; musicians, Az; social re
formers, including clubwomen and set
tlement workers, 81; physicians, Zl'
scientists. including naturalists, II;
ministers, including Salvation Army
and missionary workers, ID; philan-
thropists, II; librarians, O.; lawyers, y;
miscellaneous, 3. These figures, 1t VIII
be seen, amount to five more than the
whole number of persons CLASSIFIED, be
cause that number of women are rep
resented as actively engaged in more
than one vocation.
The tendency Of successful women
to marriage does not seem great, the
per cent being only "a. In every case,
except the minister and lawyer, the
table shows less than 60 per cent mar
ried. and it seems probable that large
number Of the women in these profess
sions married before they entered pro-
fessional life. The journalist comes
next in the per cent married, while the
artist falls to AZ per cent and the edu-
Gator runs very little risk-if she con-
siders it a risk-her chances of matri-
mony being only 26.3 per cent, or a lit
tie over one to four.-Chicago Chron-

Queen " ilhelmlna of Holland Is the
only woman sovereign in Europe. She
is also one of the youngest reigning
monarchs, having been born in 1880.
She became queen when ten years of
age, but her mother acted as queen
regent until 1898, when the young
monarch assumed the full duties of her
position. In 1901 Queen Wilhelmina
married her cousin. Henry, Duke of
Mecklenburg, but there were persistent
reports later that the union was not
entirely happy. The youthful queen,
whose portrait is herewith shown, is
very much beloved In the Netherlands.

tined to save woman's browning glory,
This latest novelty comes in both the
real shell and the initiation. 1t is made
with a narrow comb. which is intended
to be placed in the hair on the very top
of the head, so that the roll part. which
comes down in a point. will give the
fashionable dip to the pompadour. The
comb is light and very simply adjusted
it carries the weight of the hat. which,
in itself is an immense relief now
adays. when feminine headwear is ex-
tremely heavy; and there is enough
spring in the construction of this comb
novelty 10 allow IT to readjust itself
when the hat is removed.
Modern woman doesn't appreciate her
blessings as much as she would II she
knew more about the way coifIures were
built in olden times. II isn't necessary
to bark back to the days Bf those
prodigious headdresses. when water
falls, chignons, and goodness knows
what were in vogue. Such a mass OF
artificial braids and puffs were needed
then TO make a head look a Ia mode
that a woman felt as though she carried
the weight OF the world above her brow.
Now she insists upon having the light
est possible accessories, and the result
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-02-07

is that she gets them. This accoun-s
for the pompadour comb.
To adjust this novel device the hair
should be brushed and parted across
the top from ear to ear, just as for the
fashionable couture built with rats and
braids. This divides the hair into two
sections. and If the back part is t. be
tied securely, it should be brushed ~
and fastened well forward on the TOP
Of the head With the embryo pom
padour combed down over the face it is
possible to lay the ends of the back mart
of the hair perfectly fat in a coil. where
the rat usually is placed. The ar
rangement serve3 two purposes-it gets
rid OF the twist. which is no longer con
sidered smart, and it helps to build out
the pompadour foundation.
Now. to dispose OF the pompadour anu
try the effect OF the comb. Brush ti.s
front part of the hair well down over
the face. take the comb in botue hands
and slip it into the hair with the teeth
forward and rather well back Next
push the comb part forward as much as
you like. or as far as you think you
would want the pompadour roll to dip
on the forehead. This should bring the
comb properson a line with the ears, and
the tip Of the comb just above the left
eyebrow. If the comb is put I'm too faI
forward then the hair falls correspond
ingly low, giving the face a neglige APP
pearance.
When the pompadour comb Is securely
arranged then the front-part of the hair
is carefully combed out and lifted up
and back as one would ordinarily pro-
coed. In this irstancc. however. the
hair is allowed 10 as ume a natural
droop at the left side, while over the
ears it Is all drawn up rather snugly to
the sides of the head. So much for the
outline Of the pompadour. Now for the
disposal Of the ends. There is another
little trick which is being practiced by
the up-to-date young woman very sue
.cessfully, though II must be regretfully
admitted that one occasionally sees carl
catures of the mode. This Is the way
all the ends OF the hair are tucked under
so that the whole head appears 90 be
done in A soft waving roll, with only
fancy comb or two and perhaps cou-
pie Of tortoise shell pins visible.
To accomplish this, the pompadour
must be shaped in the fingers and
brought hack TO the very crown OF the
head, where II lis firmly held in the
fingers and then given a very slight
twist from left 10 right This throws il
in natural curve over the dropping
foundation and at the same time gives
an opportunity to fasten 1t with large
pin directly at the crown OF the head.
after which arrangement the ends Of
the pompadour may be rolled into soft
twist and tucked gently under the sides
OF this same section. Sometimes an ex-
ira hairpin is required just here, or in
