OF the turbans will set squarely
on the head, while others will be slightly

such as the fashionable torpedo shape,
must, as rule, be worn rather low down
on the face. ind, for this reason and on
account Of the extreme smallness of the
most fashionable torpedo shapes, are less
likely to meet with success, as the
American face is more adapted to a
somewhat larger shape as we'll as one

A blight of no small proportions fell

Of the playhouses Of the United States

at explanation are by no means in
agreement. Few American managers
enjoyed prosperous times in the eight
months from September to May; and

In recent issue of The Woman's
Journal Henry B. Blackwell comes
down hard on that New Jersey Judge
who, in awarding damages in the
Newark Embarrassing horror, decided
that boys life is twice as valuable
as girls. "This is a most prepos-
ferrous decision" says Mr.. Blackwell.
Some women are the mainstay and
support Of aged parents. Some men
are wholly neglectful and worthless
to them. Solomon quoted Lemueps
mother as affirming, some thousands
of years ago, that the value Of a vir-
tuouS woman is far above rubies. But
in Judge Adams estimation girl life
is worth only $4,000. Was that the
value Of the life of the mother Of
Washington, or the mother of Lincoln !?
This depreciation of the worth of
women as compared with that Of men
is relic of barbarism."
