Bows Are GROWING in Size.

Bows for young girls and hair orna-
ments for their elders seem to grow
in size. Little girls wear two large
bows, one on the top of the hair,
where it is drawn TO pompadour, and
one at the nape of the neck. Butterfly
bows which require yard at least are
in high favor, and Alsatian effects are
worn by older girls who have plenty of
hair. Sprays of flowers developed
from chiffon make pretty ornament
for the evening.

GROWS UPON OTHER TREEA
Hawaiian Species Called the Lehua
Muct Have Much Sunlight.

'd"a' an SpcCleS OalIeu the Lcnua
Murt Have Much Sunlight.
Orchids are not tne only plants
that grow in>She air" said an employe
of tho government bureau of forestry
recently liz discussing tropical plants.
In the Hawaiian islands is tree,
growing from thirty to 100 feet high,
which often begins life away up on
top of other trees. Unless II did this
1t could not exist at all in those dark
dank forests. 1t Is a gun-loving tree,
of the kind that foresters call intol.
Grant because they will not tolerate
other trees near enough to them 20
shade them.
These trees are the ,ehuas. When
a mature lehua casts its seeds, a good
portion of them fall en- other trees.
Whether these other trees are alive
or dead, the lehua seed begins to ger
inmate on them as healthily as IL it
has fallen into the richest earth.
"As soon as the seed opens and be-
gins to sprout tiny roots go climbing
down the trunks of the trees to the
ground. With time, as the little plant
becomes large, the roots increase in
girth, until at last they are great,
solid things, as thick and powerful
as those, of any other big tree.
Usually the tree on which the
lehua grows begins to decay about
this time, and after awhile it withers
and rots away. This leaves the lehua
standing on its roots high in the air;
and such a forest presents wonder
full and weird sight.
1T is no joke to get through lehua
forest where all the trees have grown
this way. The roofs run one way and
another, and interlaco so that often
there isn't space big enough for a
rabbit to crawl through. There is
no use in trying to cut or hew way
into the lehua woods, for the roots
are as tough as roots generally are,
and no American farmers boy who
has ever put in n season at breaking
out stumps needs to be told just how
tough that is"

"She's got the face of an ANGEL"
No one was in sight in either direc.
ton.
AS the soldier made ready with his
carbine the major let fall his reins
and drew a letter from his pocket. AS
he did so a photograph fell from the
letter to the stony highway unnoticed
by him. Queer as it may seem, curl
osity about the photograph overbal-
anced Tom Germans thirst for re-
venge for the moment, and he let the
officer pass.
A minute later he had the card in
his~hand. 1t was the picture of little
girl not over five years old-a sweet
faced little thing-and underneath
was written From Elsie to Papa"
No soldier at Fort Brown had asked
or could know whether their martinez
was married man or not. They had
not discussed his home ties-only his
discipline. Here was a new factor in
the case. German crept back to his
ambush with his eyes fixed on the
face, and his own features began to
soften.
From Elsie to Papa" he repeated
over and over again. Damn me, but
it must be his kid! He got the letter
last night. She's got the face of an
angel, and when her mother tells her
that her father is dead"
Private German found his heart in
his throat. He was not father, but
he was a lover of children. He'd have
given three months pay to pick Elsie
up in his arms and give her a kiss.
There were dimples in her cheeks and
n smile en- her mouth. He held the
picture to his lips and whispered:
"You amt to blame for it, little one.
Whatever he is TO us, and badly as
he's used me, he loves you and you
him, and | can't break your heart in
trying to get even. I'm here to kill
him, and l was going to do it when
ne came back; but you're too sweet
thing to be left fatherless."
The major came riding back, his
eyes on the ground as ii looking for
some lost object. At the rock he halt.

GRAY SILK Erocks.

The gray silk frock is distinctly
Partisan, with its pinked ruches and
velvet medallions down to the front.
Taffeta lends itself admirably to this
treatment. Either black or cerise
velvet, or vivid scarlet, would be
stunningly effective for the accesso-
ries. Some effective gowns are de-
signed of white wolfe, trimmed with
innumerable tiny satin ruches of the
palest pink or blue. These are used
to decorate the fiounces on the skirt,
and are repeated again on the bodice,
the ceinture being of soft satin or the
same color.

Maj. Davis had the reputation of
being martinez, and whenever a pri-
vate soldier found himself before a
court martial he would make up his
mind that If the major had a voice
in the matter he was as good as con-
victed.
There were those who excused the
officers harshuess on the ground that
he belonged to the old school-the
school that looked upon the rank and
file as dogs-but the fact remained
that he was not popular with either
his officers or his men.
Affairs in the Indian country were
at peace when the post commander at
Fort Brown applied for and secured a
long leave of absence. and Major Da-
Wis was ordered to take charge in his
place.
1t was frontier post with small
garrison of old veterans, and there
was no call for red tape or rigid dis
cipline. The best drill master in the
army could not have taught those men
anything new, and the officers felt
that they had right to loaf little
when warm weather set in.
The United States was in ne dan
ger OF invasion from foreign foe,
and the red man had had enough of
war to last him for two or three years.
when Major Davis arrived and as
sumed command. An hour later he
began to issue general orders, and
groan of discomfort was heard through
out the garrison.
Then began what was characterized
as "a 1lum-a-diddle time" The lines
of discipline were rigidly drawn and
the drills were frequent and exacting.
The finger of the martinez pointed in
many directions, and the men who
growled went to the guard house on a
trot.
At all military posts there are a few
favored men-men who suffer now
and then from old wounds or have
performed their brave deeds, and are
taeitly allowed to take things easy.
Such a man was private Tom Cor
man at Fort Brown. Two bullets had
been fired into him as he rode with
dispatches across the plains one night,
and though not incapacitated as a sol
der he was given light duty and cod,
died up bit.
The coddling ceased soon after the
majors arrival. He was on the look
out for such men. They were returned
to duty, and even given extra duty,
and the mild protests of captains and
lieutenants were met with the formal
reply:
This is military post not a hos
pital; and no man, unless excused by
the doctor at sick call, will be ex-
empt from duty"
In month the major was a we'll
hated man. He realized the fact and
gloried in it.
Private German returned to duty
with a complaint, an. subsequent
events proved that the martinez had
reprimanded during company drill one
day, and following that he was placed
on sentry duty and took his post at
midnight in a rain storm.
1t was an inside post, and of no
consequence. The wounded man took
the chance of getting under shelter
for short time. The major went the
rounds that night, caught him dere-
lict and saw him hustled off to the
guard house.
The affair was looked upon as seri-
ously as if the Sioux warriors were
at the gates of the fort in war paint,
instead of being in their lodges fifty
