It is impossible for these combs, It was
said, to become common, because they cost
too much, and 30 far they have not been
reproduced in imitation shell. Nor Is 1t
everyone who knows how to these
combs. .,.
They are not meant to be worn sedately.
Like some of the new hats, they must be

Instead of being poised squarely at the
back Of the head the new combs are stuck
perpendicular and usually at one side of
the head. By way OF illustration, one
beautiful specimen was showed in diagonaly

MURDERERS IN FRANCE
Some Curious Phases Of Law in Different
Countries.

The necent murder Of Senior Balmaceda,
Secretary to the Chilean Legation in Brus-
sells. by Luiz Waddington, son of the Chilean
Minister, again directs attention to one
If the MANY laws that are sadly in need of
alteration.
It will be remembered that Washington,
after firing five shots at his sisters be-
trothed. ran at full speed to the Chilean
Legation, which stands close to Senior
Baimaceda's house, and took refuge there.
In consequences Of this action the police
have no power to enter the building and
arrest the murderer, for the legation is
considered 10 be foreign territory and
therefore inviolable. The murderer Is thus
able for the time to snap his fingers at the
law and the police.
Even had the crime been committed in
this country, says Pedrson's weekly OF
London, our authorities would have been
lust as helpless, for, as the law runs, the
official residences Of the representatives
Of foreign countries are exempt from the
jurisdiction Of the country In which they
stand, and local authorities AVE no right
to enter them under any circumstances.
Once a murderer is captured in this coun-
try he may be tried for his crime, no mat
ter how long he has escaped the arm OF
Justice; but in France this is not so. There
IL a murderer is not discovered and brought
to trial within fifteen years he may go free
as the most crimeless citizen. Only the
other day a man who had committed a
murder twenty-five years ago wrote de-
family to the police oonfessing the crime
and diving his address in Paris. Investi-
cation proved his story to be true. yet the
police were prevented by the law from
arresting and Furnishing him.
The man who fails to raise his hat when
a funeral is passing becomes liable by an
old law of Chester to be taken before a
magistrate and imprisoned.
A stupid law in France is that a husband
cannot charge his wife with any criminal
offence. A dramatic incident recently ex-
posed the opportunities the law provides
to the criminally intent.
A, M. Binet a few months back became
so infatuated with a young woman whom
he met by chance that he begged her to
marry him. On the day OF the ceremony
the delighted bridegroom gave a dinner in
a we'll known Paris restaurant. After the
dinner came the ball, and then NJ. Binet
took home his bride.
No sooner had they entered the house,
however, than she removed her white vel
and orange blossoms, and, suddenly be-
coming deathly pale. gasped: "A doctor;
a doctor!" In less than a quarter of an
hour a doctor returned in a cab with the
Mortified bridegroom. Judge of their sur
prise when the two men discovered that the
bride had disappeared-taking away with
her a sum Of GS0O which NJ. Binet Kept in
an escritoire. On rushing immediately
to the local police magistrate he received
the cold comfort that as he had married
the lady he could not, according to the law,
take any proceedings against her.
