THE NEW COUTURE
THE BIG STIFF PoMPADoUR HAS
PASSED.
Contour Of the Face Should Be
Followed in Hair
Dressing.

Written for The Evening Star.
The new mode of hair dressing admits of
many changes which are adaptable to any
occasion and any style of face
The most noticeable of the changes is the
absence of the rat" for the big stiff POM
padour is no longer considered artistic.
Where the pompadour is preferred this
effect is given by the use of the new pom
padour comb which Is far more becoming
to the average person than the rat" 1t Is
simply adjusted by parting the hair across
the head and combing it over the face. The
back hair is then secured in position before
adjusting the comb after which the front
hair is thrown back over the comb and the
ends coiled with the back hair.
This arrangement gives a loose, fluffy
pompadour effect which is desirable for the
woman with thin hair 1t also gives her
scanty locks an opportunity for ventila-
ton and growth.
The low style of couture is stir the most
fashionable one and it is becoming to near
ly every one. The front hair may be ar
ranged loosely over a pompadour, straight
back, or sidewise; or it may be waved and
parted to one side. There is a preference
for a simple style, except for dressy oc-
casions, and the figure eight is the favorite
back arrangement. In this event the POM
padour is kept in position by combs, one
being used on the crown of the head and
one at each side. This leaves smooth ar
rangement on top of the head. The hair
is coiled about half way down the head,
and is secured by a large tortoise shell or
fancy pin at the top. A clasp is used to
keep the coil in position at the neck.
The Handy Switch.
Women with thin hair are resorting to the
use of a switch more than ever, using their
own hair to advantage in front. Unless the
hair is heavy, a switch is necessary for this
particular style of couture. In spite of OBJ
jections to the switch. 1t is preferable to the
rat" and can be arranged SO 1t will coil
into position as naturally as if 1t were at
tached to the head. The pompadour, too,
must not have a break in the lines. The
loose locks in front should be curled and
permitted to fall over the forehead a little
to one siGe.
more elaborate arrangement of the low
couture is to divide the hair in three parts
in front. The two side strands are waved
and drawn loosely back in position, while
the middle strand is also waved and drawn
to the left over the others. The back is
finished with figure eight, surmounted by
rhinestone crescent pin.

materials. Bo Peep, Yo San, cavaliers, and
Scottish gillies may be tastefully dressed
in inexpensive stuffs. These characters are
we'll suited to children of eight or ten who
can play the parts a little. If the gille
has been taught the Highland fling at the
dancing school. he can proudly show off
this accomplishment.
30 Peeps colors are usually very delicate.
and she must carry a crook and lead a toy
lamb If possible. Pale blue cheese cloth,
quilted over cotton batting, Is excellent for
the short skirt. Over this paniers of gaily
lowered pink and blue silkoline are looped.
The bodice Is Of the pale blue, with neck and
sleeve ruffies of white cotton lace and the
hat is Of the white straw with a wreath of
field flowers and blue and pink ribbon ends.
The more ribbons little 30 Peep displays
the more adorable she will appear They
may tie her wrists like bracelets. clasp her
little bare throat and show In a big hutter-
ing knot upon her crook.

girls should wear wreaths Of large pink
roses. Their close bodices are cut square
in the neck and the sleeves are festooned
at the elbows with ravishing falls of lace.
A French doll party Is another charming
fancy which has already been turned into
fact in Paris.
A correspondent writes that a lady high
in soc1ety-a duchess. in fact-devised such
a party for the birthday of one of her little
twin daughters. Everybody came dressed
as a doll and tried to dance like one.
The dresses were the short, elaborate cos
tunes of satin, lace and silk which the i'm
ported toy always displays. The slippers
were heelless strap affairs, the frilled hats
very big, and the stockings woven to simu-
late socks.
But for that matter, elegant French chill
dren are generally dressed like dolls and
doubtless an exaggerated stiffness was the
chief characteristic of the function.

Expensive Feminine Fashions.


From the London Express.
We are living in an age remarkable for
feminine extravaganza. We refer, Of
course, to the moneyed classes When our
hostess comes down to breakfast with
rope or two of pearls round her neck she
requires some simple confection, obviously
by Worth or one of his famous eontempo-
rarfes, to go with it, both jewels and raj
ment signifying to her guests that her
wealth is something to be enyied. 1t Is
neither a pleasant nor healthy trait. but 1t
is fashion-and fashion which at the mo-
ment shows no sign of changing, for with
miilionaires plentiful their women folk are
bound to enter for that social prize puzzle:
(which OF us pays the most for her
clothes?'

NEW YORK, January IA. 1904
Children's parties have taken on a new
complexion with the holidays the majority
of those now given being celebrated in
fancy dress.
The assumption of identities not their own
always delights the youngsters, and if the
identity is that of some old friend of nur-
sery fiction, all the better. The characters
in Mother Goose are charming sugges-
lions for the masquerade, and by the intro
duction of others from real life the facts
of history may sometimes be pleasantly i'm
parted.
Then there is fairy lore to go to. What
maginative child can resist the butterfly
wings of Titania or Puck? Golden Locks,
too, is easily recognized. as we'll as Aladdin
30 Peep, Little Red Riding Hood and the
Wolf while Prince Charming and host
of cavaliers can always fill up the chinks.
The majority of us look upon fancy cos
tunes for children as superfuous luxuries.

Crepe Paper Uses.

Crepe Paper Uses.
The possibilities of lamp-shade paper are
endless for modest functions in fancy dress.
This inexpensive texture can be made to
conceive the most charming flower and
vegetable effects. At donkey party
lately given the little guests, dressed en-
tirely in this crinkled paper, were seen as
carrots, beets. lettuce, cabbages, celery and
what not-these costumes making the plac-
ing of the donkey's tail an additional
amusement.
"donkeys eat vegetables" And as solemnly
as downy young owl, an adorable little
maid, attired lettuce, placed herself
tantalizingly within reach, though the dan
gerous donkey was only an outline drawing
on white sheet.
1t may be objected that the paper CO.'S
tunes do not last, but except in the case
of very strenuous service they do astonish-
ingly well, and, as they have the advantage
of costing next to nothing, every function
can be celebrated in a new get-up.
A young "schoolma' am" who is most
feiicitous in teaching the children of the
fashionable, uses paper dolls as one me-
dunn of instruction. Each child chooses
some character in history, dresses the doll
after the painted design, and gives state
ment on the personage's place in the world.
Entertainment and knowledge can be de-
rived from a fancy dress party gotten up
in this way, and as the lamp shade paper
is so cheap it would not matter If a few
creations were spoiled before the right
thing was conceived.
If expense is no object and the grown
ups are to have all the fingers in the pie,

ADJUSTMENTS.
East Lake Casino.

Columbia, S. C., paper has the fol- lowing to say of the Century Minstrels. who open a weeks engagement at the East Lake Casino tonight:
 "The Century minstrels made a big hit at Hyatt park casino last evening, and their success on the first appearance as- sures them large audiences every night thls week. Everybody pronounced it fine from beginning to end. The first part of the programme consisted of the regu- lar minstrel jokes interspersed with we'll selected and wel-sung songs. The jokes were refined and funny" When the speciality part of the programme com menced the audience found more fun and enjoyment of a different variety in every l feature
 Smith and Baker were a great pair and the audience was loath to have them leave the stage after their quar- ter of an hour of singing and wonderful clog dancing.
 "The next number was furnished by Frank Gogerty-an unbroken round of funny stories, some told and some sung. The musical act that followed won en- thnsiastic appreciation for America.s Greastest Marimba Soloists.'
 The four comedians, the two Hoetons, Carol and Shaw, were an incongruous quartette. They had good voices and sang a number of good songs
 'LaVeille and Grant were great-a greatness achieved probably by many years hard physical culture They are marvels of strength. Their tension ex- ereises showed an almost superhuman power."

MORAN COMING FOR WAL THOUR'S SCALP Wants to Snatch Championship
 from Atlanta Boy IN PINK OF CONDITION Boston Papers Say That He Has an Even Chance to Win the Amer
 lean Championship from
 Bobby Walthour.
IN PINK OF CONDITION

Jimmy Moran, the pace follower, who has not lost race this year, writes Jack Prince that he is coming south to snatch the scalp from Bobby walthour's head and hang 1t to his belt There Is a string of scalns there now that he has won from every man he has raced this season, and says he needs nothing else to make him Americas champion cyclist ex cert to defeat the blonde haired rider from the south.
 Next Thursday and Friday night these two peers of American riders will meet at the Stadium and 1t will be battle royal. Every foot of the entire distance each night will be fought out, and lap by lap they will ride their best for the American championship.
 Moran comes laden with an awful array of victories Every man he has met this year has gone down before his speed, and Walthour is almost equally as fortunate He has lost only one race. Moran has a motor which he believes to be faster than that of Bobby, and he says that if he sticks to that pace like he has all this year. he will win the race by lap or two.
 On the other hand Walthour believes he will win. but not as easily as he did from DeGuchard, Lawson and Monroe last week. Bobby says that Morgan should give him the hardest race he has had this year. The Atlanta boy just na- turally believes that he can ride from one to two seconds faster every mile than Morgan. and says he is now in the con- dtion to do it.
 The Boston newspapers which devote a great deal of space to bicycle riding state that Morgan is in the pink of con- dition, and able to ride the mile several seconds faster than he has ever done it before. They freely predict that he will win from Walthour. and to some extent they are put out that the race was not pulled off in Boston, where they state a larger crowd would have been drawn.
 Jack Pince expects to fill every seat in the stadium, and he says the people will get more than their moneys worth on both nights. On Thursday night there local and out of town riders, and also the 20-mile motor paced race between Walthour and Morgan. On Friday night there will be ameteur events, and a 25- mile motor paced race between Moran and Walthour. This will be the last race of Walthour in this country before going to Europe.
