THE MODERN WOMAN.

A quaint little Japanese woman wearing
the flowing kimono and obi OF her native
land created no end OF interest In the shop
ping district one day last week. Men as
well as women stood to look after her tiny
figure as she toddled along apparently un-
conscious Of the attention her appearance
attracted. Her small arms were full OF
bundles and she shopped with true American
fervor.
It was a real pleasure to look at her, and
more than one spectator wished that all her
sisters here in America would retain their
native costumes instead Of donning the less
artistic creations Of the Occident.
ITS not the dressmaker that makes the
woman. but the corset maker" was the re-
mark of a CORSET maker who has many
fashionable women among her customers.
-Once upon a time Il would a been
treason to say IL, but now the question Ia,
Whose corset do you wear7' rather than
= Who is your dressmaker?' For corset max
ing and ftting have attained a perfection
in these days never dreamed Of before,
at least in this country No longer is the
woman who dresses well satisfied to buy
her oorsets here, there and everywhere and
a different make Zach time. She finds h
style that suits her and sticks to It."
So keen is the competition among trades
men these days that no sooner does a new
tenant arrive in the neighborhood than the
housewife Is besieged by the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker, all seeking
to add her to their list Of customers.
One woman more curious than the aver
age wondered how this horde Of tradesmen
knew Of her advent, and 30 questioned one
Of the number. IL then leaked out that
their clerks were all commissioned TO watcn
the moving vans, and when one appeared
on the horizon to run at once and find out

TRANSFORMATION OFAMOTHER
"YOU LOOK OLD" SATD'THE GIRL
AND A CRIME OCCURRED.

Erect Of Up 20 Date Hair Dressing Methods
Upon the sweet Gentleness OF Con-
tented Old Age and Of . MOdish
POmpadOur Upon scanty Gray HAIRS
The whole thing was h~eartrending to
anybody who saw the mother enter the
shop. Her face had the swee gentleness
Of contented old age. Her rather scanty
gray hair was brushed beconisngly back
from her low brow.
The daughter, who was very much waved
Is to her hair and otherwise relieved as
10 her natural appearance by the ! OF
art, led her into the shop and the smiling
saleswoman drew tho curtains about the
mirror.
This graceful young person looked as II
she had stepped out OF the chorus OF a
comic opera. She wore a short accordion
plated silk skirt OF shepherds plaid and a
short sleeved shirt waist comprehensively
p~eekaboo.
About her waist was a broad pink silk
sash and ribbon OF the same color was tied
In a bow in her hair. Her highly polished
nails shone In the sunlight "a she took on
the mothers veil and bonnet and then
brushed back the rather thin hair.
The daughter stood by as the saleswoman
attended to her work, eying her critically
rs II she were responsible for any mistake
that the girl might make. The shopwoman
presently appeared bearing In her hands a
mass Of blacklist gray hair much darker
than that she had taken from the mothers
head. This she placed over the mothers
locks and with a comb deity mingled the
pompadour and the real hair.
Now don't you like it7' she asked,
stepping pack from the chair n handing
the mother a glass TO give a side view OF
on her old brow. 4 knew you would say
il looked perfectly natural.
The mother turned helplesely to the
daughter, who stood eying her with the
same critical gaze that only a few minutes
well, 1 think it's all right, mother
the daughter said. You know l always
told You l thought you looked too old with
Your hair back like that
The older woman threw q smile at the
saleswoman and looked a little pleased.
She was evidently not very sure in her
own mind. however, n cast dubious
Rlances into the mirror. She seemed TO
know that the Transformation had not
been for the better.
The false hair stood stifiy on her head
as II IL bore no relation TO her " couture.
The falsity OF the thing fairly shrieked.
The lines in her face that had been gentle
now looked like hard wrinkles.
Everything about her countenance had
hardened and changed. Tit false hair
added years to her looks-and years OF
struggle against & 1.
Come on, mother the daughter added
a. they left the store. Il never had any
idea that just that p~ompadour would
change you so much
Nobody else might have suspected it
either. The potency Of false hair Is always
much greater in such cases than anybody
supposeS.

ALABAMA MAY ACT
SENATOR MORGAN's WORDS ON
 RATE BILL NOT CLEAR.
G0Vernor Jelks Declines to Discuss the Matter Until He Is More Fully

The reference to the Governor op Alabama made by Senator Morgan in nis speech on the rate bill Friday af- ternoon just before 1t passed the Sen. ate, was the subject of much comment In the city yesterday and last night. ana many wondered what he meant.
 IL was thought by some that a pro- test had gone from Governor Jelka ana that he had indicated to Senator Mofgan that he would take some sort or action to prevent such measures be- coming operative in this State. How eyer, this is not the case Governor Jelks does not know just what the Senator meant, and will wait until he receives the Congressional Record and finds just what it was before he has anything to say.
 T do not know what Senator Mor- gan said" the Governor replied yes. terday when asked about the remarks T notice in the press report that he did refer to the State of Alabama and some possible action that might be taken, but I cannot give an expression until 1 am sure what he had in mind. When I have read the debate I may have something to say-that Is, if there Is anything to be said"
 It seems from a reading of the re- port that Senator Morgan was mere ly discussing what could and no doubt would be done in case the opera tions of the bill were detrimental to the people, and named his own State as one that would act,
