Much has been written about cloak mod

try on clOaks, but not 80 much, perhaps
nothing at all, has been printed about the
young men OF fine figure who try OF mems
coats.
The cloak models ara employed in whole
sale establishments for the better display
Of cloaks to buyers. The coat model has a
like duty to perform in trying on mems
coats In the salesFooms of wholesale clothing
establishments; but he finds other and per-
haps his most constant employment in the
outing department, in trying on coats be-
fore they are finished, such models being
employed only by wholesale mar u~facturers

The designer. may lay OUT q coat that

requiring different treatments in the cut

various coats in the various sizes, there are

The way in which one Oklahoma editor
announced that his mother was coming 10

pretty safe to say that away down in her

left side, this being primarily due not to
fashion but to the fact that the great ma
ioritv Of us are right handed and il il easier
for us to draw the comb through the hair
from left to right than it is to push the comb
from right to left.
so there you have, In the side part, a
style feature that is prevailing and continu-
GUS; but this Is not an imported style, it is
something natural and individual; and the
stvle may vary in its actual complication,
for a man may have a cowlick, and so, while
he still parts his hair on the side, he may
have to part it higher or lower than the
ordinary.
-You see, when we are considering mems
hair and the fashions in which it is worn, we
find ourselves always coming back to the
individual. There ave been pronounced
FASH ons in hair cutting in this country,
some Of them so generally followed in their
period that they constituted the mode for
the time; but there is no such following Of
fashions now.
Fifty or sixty years ago it vas the oom-
mon fashion in this country for men and
boy 3 to wear earlooks. The hair was then
worn long, and broad locks Of it we're
brushed forward on the sides of the head,
over the ears, and brushed Town smooth on
the head there; and the barber used as much
care in trimming of these earlooks, each
with a straight vertical line at it's front edge,
az he does now in trimming the line at the
sides Of the head down the neck baok Of the
ears. You see these earlocks, once COM
monty worn, in many old pictures, but you
don't see anybody wearing them now
"Once everybody, or rather every young
ster. had his hair shingled; now the acme of
good barbering in all hair cutting is to pro-
duoe on the hair, in whatever length il
is out, the effect Of a smooth surface. .
For a later style, once more or less com
mon, we q cropped nair; the hair cut uni
formly close TO the head; and once every
man, in whatever style as to it's other fea-
lures he had his hair trimmed, had il cut in
a sharply defined line around the back at the
base Of the head; a style indeed still fol
lowed by some.
"And so wa have had various styles pre-
vailing at various periods; but now the pre-
Vailing mode in hair cutting IL one not con-
spicuous in any way. 1t n one that might be
described az marked by an absence OF style
as such. The hair is out moderately short
and in other respects most commonly II
such manner az may be best suited to the
wearer.
I'm other words, while we may import
some Of our beard styles, we are pretty sure
OF most of US are, anyway, to wear our hair
in tho style thai IL most becoming to us

child's pony not over Is hands, to be ridden
by a child not over IL for prizes presented
by H. p. Whitney.
Mallow Queen il an ideal park hack in
miniature and both riders were perfect.
The Judges cut the knot in a wise way by
bestowing a blue ribbon and a cup oil each.
At the Piring Rock show May Ladenburg,
who rides astride and makes a pretty pict-
ure in the saddle, was also a blue ribbon
winner with Mallow Queen in a class in
which many children rode, gaining another
cup from the same donor.
A govemess's cart Is q Soclable sort OF

Many collared coats or ulsters make at

but as to riding. the girls wear a habit or
a bifurcated skirt. The boys drive or ride
in the suit they come TO the show in.
At the Piping Rock show, to encourage
the young idea, the committee gave a silver
stock pin TO every child who came into the
ring az an exhibitor. Children will be

the ending Of one GLASS.

Hawley. whose mother has a shetland
farm, is as we'll known.
A rider to win many plaudits at the last
two New York shows was Grace Antony,
an eight.year-old child of Emile Antony,
zach at the Riding Club. On snow white
pony, with graceful habit and big picture
hat with plumes, this little girl seemed
a reproduction Of the ladies' in riding cos
tunes of the albums OF 1885, b passed
beneath arched trees on broad b~oulevards
followed by Italian greyhounds and es-
corted by cavaliers, who ON the slightest
provocation would quote Byron.
Little Miss Antony's chum and rival
was May Hartshorne, another eight-year-
old, who rode her pony astride. Another
child, Maria Hirst, drove her shetlands
at New York. Marian Hollins has displayed
skill in the New York ring, and his season
won blue ribbons at the Bay Shore show,
which is held within driving distance OF
her home near Islip.
One of the sturdiest little chaps who
ride or drive is Cyril Carr, the twelve
year-old son Of a hackney importer.

wherever horse shows are held, city or
country, there are certain classes In which
children ride or drive. They form agree

oeaaton Of routine classes, for they are OF
interest," as ~speotaoles, besides revealing
tho skin Of the youngsters in the saddle or
with the reins. The children's classes are
restflf and enjoyable int rivals between the
dry az dust business of hor 9 VS.. horse.
These Glasses always excite enthusiasm.
Family parties form olaques to encourage
their f~avorite youngsters and by wild
applause to inform the judges that the
~onlookers have discovered a phenomenon
in the ring. In the latter object the applause
does not gain the desired result, for the
~handclappings and cheers for Tommy
or Grace are offse by he demonstrations
for Billy or Jessie.
Different 9 cups OF children appear at
each show as a rule. But where, al in Long
Island and in New England, shows are held
In proximity to each other certain children
attend several shows zach season and thus
gain regulations as skilful handlers in the
ring.
Such children will sometimes ride or
drive a pony for another, even for a dealer,
but in general they are Interested only in
the sue .ese Of their own entries. There are
some dealers who make a speciality Of ponies
and their children are as useful in the show
rings as the Crummles offspring we're in
Nicholas Nickleby.'
One lad seen in a riding class last summer
had never been on q horse before. At the
Monmouth county horse show at Long
Branch when the entries for a class to have
children as riders were called the boy slated
for the mount on the imported pony Parsley

and the manner in which a man wears his
hair Ia likely to be also individual, deter
mined by the mann er in which a mans
hair grows on his head; though there may
spring up freak or passing fashions that
will be for a time followed by many.

Afew years ago we had quite a good many

for instance, an importation from Wales
that won often under the different con-
ditions, is properly Of the harness type.
There is more style to children in the
saddle than as drivers. The nags usually
gang their ain gait in harness, but when
in command.
At the North Shore show, held at the
oddly named Piping Rock Field, a child
made a hit on a saddle horse OF fuh size.
1t was in a class for non-winners at horse
shows and little Helen Byrnes rode the lS.2

horses to canter, Shirley was too much

Shirley received the blue ribbon there was
the heartiest applause Of the show. The
little girl, smiles succeeding to tears, rode
the mare out Of the ring in triumph.

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS DEAD
Only Daughter and Other Relatives
at Bedside.

New York.-Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
widow of the president of the Confed-
eracy, who had been i'll for week at
the Hotel Majestic in this city, died at
1925 o'clock tonight. Death was due
to pneumonia, induced by severe cold
which Mrs. Davis contracted upon her
return from the Adirondacks where she
had spent the summer months.
Although grave fears were felt from
the first, Mrs Davis wonderful vitality,
which had brought her through SINH
lar attack year ago, gave hope of ulti-
mate recovery until last night, when a
change for the worse was evident and
attending physicians announced that
the end was near. 1t was then believed
that Mrs. Davis could not survive the
night, but she rallied slightly during
the early hours of today.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
she had sinking spell, and Rev. Ma
than a. Seagle, rector of St. Stephens
Protestant Episcopal Church, was hur-
riedly sent for to give religious COM
fort to the patient in her last moments
of consciousness. The clergyman re-
manned some time, and an hour later it
was announced that Mrs. Davis had
lapsed into a state of coma. The peroid
of Inconsistencies continued to the end.

with the incidents leading up to the
