Barber Buchanan soon had her hair
on the floor, and the woman had the ap-
pearance of rakish-looking youngster.
Then she asked how she could get a false
mustache.
The barber notified the local police
and it was found that she was trying
to get $50 advanced on a handsome
watch and chain. Chief Griff1ns then
arrested her. She said that she lived
at Eastwood, Canada, with her ia

She said that her doctor had or
dered her hair cut so as to relieve her
of headache. She said she wanted
money because she had left home with
only dollar and had spent that. The
mustache, she said, she wanted for her
brother.
The woman's father was sent for and
he seemed to be much mystified by his
daughters actions. He said he owned
a $4,000 farm and could not understand
why his daughter should figure in such
queer episode.

This rapid increase in fulness is difficult
Of achievement without the addition of
the reinstated shaped founce or other
founce, though in firm tailored material
sharp goring may sometimes give suf-
ficient flare and ripple, or inset plaits in

required fulness.
The circular skirt is more successful in

One does see circular walking skirts with
the bias front seam and they are particu-
larly effective in the plaid and check mater
ials, but there is no denying that they do
not hold their shape as well as do gored
skirts and that they are preferable to the
long skirt, which does not show plainly
every trifling divergence from O straight

An improvement over the quality of last
seasons cloths was practically impossible,
but the manufacturers have turned out
cloth that is a marvel Of suppleness ard
luster and lightness. and the oolorings
that appear in the new cloths have never
been surpassed. All of last seasons fav-
orites are there, but there are new shadings
subtly different from those with which
we are familiar.
This is especially true of the reds and
blue reds or red blues. All Of the deeper
fruit, wine and flower reds are represented,
and just at present have distinct emphasis
on the color card. though, as we have said,
it is impossible to tell what the final color
verdicts of the season will be.
The Parma violet shades, beetroot reds

much in evidence, and so are line of
lighter fruity reds. which seem to have q
soft bloom over a deeper tone.

prominent, and though there is much con-

Of brown during the autumn and winter,
certain copper and bronze browns and
certain beautiful shades Of chestnut brown
are well represented among the best ma

vogue obtained by the browns last winter
will initiate against the color this year.
