Red Hair Is Now Popular

IF l had waited twenty years about
getting myself born I'd have saved
myself innumerable heartaches,'' said
Georgetown woman. My hair, as
you see, is warm Titan shade. When
| was child it was plain red, and
was commonly called 'bricktop' and
carrots. What misery l endured on
account of that flaming hair of mine!
l washed it in sage tea, l soaked it in
iron rust water and 1 shed tears
enough because of its color to float a
battleship. | used to long for some
thing to frishten me enough to turn
it white. My only grain of comfort
was the hope that it would darken as
grew older. Nobody considered red
hair anything but a horror in those
days. It's so different now. / didn't
realize how different till 1 took my
little niece down town the other day
to buy her a doll She passed rows of
black and blond-haired dolls disdain-
fully. AT length we came to case
full of dolls whose hair was exactly
the shade mine used to be.
oh, | want one of those!' said she.
Look at their lovely, lovely red hair
THE toy man who showed red
haired dolls in my day would have
been considered mad, but now they tell
me the red-haired doll is the most pop
ular novelty of the season. What that
means as to the attitude of modern
children toward red hair only one who
was a red-haired child twenty years
ago can tell 1t was thoughtless of
me to be born so soon. Washington

Cheaper Furs

One of the results of the Russian
Japanese war is that raw furs are
cheaper this season. 1t will take some
time for the drop i'm the price of raw
furs to affect the retail sale of the
manufactured product, but the public
are already beginning to get the benefit
in reductions made in anticipation.
Russia is one of the largest fur buy
ing countries. Canada and British
North America send abroad their sur
plus of raw furs beyond what the
American market will take. The
United States, except for some ppoduc-
tion in Alaska, imports almost all OF
the expensive furs which are used
here. Smaller furs, like mushats, rae
coons, skunks and opossums are pro-
duced in large numbers in the United
States and great part of them is ex-
ported.-Exchange

Sir William Harcourt

Sir William Harcourt once said of an
eminent statesman that he did not un-
derstand the British constitution be-
cause he had never been protestant
or a whig. He has himself been called
the last of the wings, and he used
himself to say that he and Dean STAN
ley were the last Erastians. These
summary judgments are not to be
trusted, The doctrine that the law is
above the king and that the state Is
above the church is bound up with the
establishment and with the house Of
Hanover No doubt Sir Williams
professionalism. at least on its secular
side, was conspicuous, and no amount
of association with radicals ever quite
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-25

unwhigged him. An aristocrat playing
the part of a democrat, he could not
forget that he was a Harcourt, and he
practiced the old-fashioned vice OF
family pride. But if he had an imper-
feet sympathy with a generation which
cared nothing for grandfathers, and
was so far behind his age, at least he
despised the sordid, ignoble crew who
enter parliament in search of titles, or
to get into society" or in the vain
hope of becoming gentlemen" His
