Some Ornaments for the Hair

A woman said to me the other day
TO be sure it was hairdresser-le a
woman look to her hair dressing and
her hat and she need not worry. And
there is no little truth in the state
ment, though few there be of US that
seem to profit by knowledge of the
fact.
This year especially the couture is
something not to be neglected, and
every woman should pay careful atten-
ton to this item-climax, rather-of
dress. While there is no one style
which may be said absolutely to rule,
yet there are certain things modish,
certain others not. It is all very we'll
to assert that a woman should not
observe changing fashions in hair
dressing, that she should keep to one
style that has been found becoming:
she should certainly never go in for
a fashion that is not becoming to her
individual face and form, but she may
adopt certain little changes that will
bespeak attention to the mode. AS for
instance, this season for full dress she
may add some form of ornament to
her couture.
AS a rule the hair ornaments are
modest and pretty rather than obtru-
sive, though over in Paris they have
gone in for long egrets and even birds
of paradise feathers. A soft low POM
pom is decorative and becoming, also
the single rose, and also the cluster
Of small blossoms. Sometimes from
the half wreath there will arise at one
side short ostrich feather, some
times the wreath will terminate in but
terfiy bows. The single ostrich tip has
been worn by generations of women,
and is again in vogue; it is sort of
regal touch to the toilette, suggests
court receptions, queens drawing
room--though worn by very humble
little girl at her first dance. The lace
and jeweled butterfly has also had
long life, just why we cannot say.
Newer modes are outstanding sprays
Of gold and silver wheatheads inter-
mingled with grasses, and we should

She Still Retains Her Fioure

No one would believe how hard the
queen of England works. No working
woman tolls more steadily than she.
Her object is to preserve her figure,
make her waist little, make her figure
tall and slim and preserve, generally,
the outlines of her body
Svelte is the only word to describe
the queen of England's form. It is that
of girl of 10, mature, but not matronly;
developed, yet by no means old; full of
curves, yet not rounding; tall, classic
and ideal, yet not stilted nor laced. And
it's price is eternal vigilance.
The queen Of late. has been going in
for out of-door fads. She is a believer in
outside exercises and her reduction
methods take the form of out-of-door
work. She rows upon the Thames; she
fishes off the banks of Scotland; she
drives an automobile in London and
she works vigorously in the garden.
The queen walks little, yet walking is
fine for the figure. Her, majesty is
firm believer in it, but being slightly
lame, she seldom INDUCES in it.
If you are walking for reduction, OF
If you are automobiling for that same
purpose, be sure to dress for it. Let your
costume be warm. tits better to be too
warm than too cool. Better to sweat a
little than to SILVER
And what is it all for? Why, for a
little waist; for a tall, slender figure:
for the admiration of the public, and for
the name OF being the youngest 6O-year-
old woman in. the world. ,-..+ =.

Monroe Doctrine inviolate as we'll as

no small dissension about the modus

affairs down in San Domingo have
seemed to be going pretty smoothly un-

is up to her old tricks-another 'rev-

Until the ratification Of a treaty
should definitely settle the matter of
this country looking after the revenue
collection, our men have been acting
under an agreement between the con-

This action has been criticised, called

the pros and cons of this we have moth

Morales with the United States gov

Morales hold on the presidency for
some time past has been weakening.
He had counted on being backed by
the Americans, because it was he that
negotiated the original treaty with the
United States. For awhile it looked as
though our government, in the inter-
ests' of peace, championed Carlos E.
Morales, that it approved of letting
him finish his term of Office. Morales,
however, must have realized the term
was not to be completed with any ease,
for behold his flight, his efforts to en-
roll new followers.
In San Domingo, as In this country,
the presidential term is four years;
but, as write5: in the Review of Re-
views says, there revolutions take the
place Of elections, and these occur
with some little irregularity. This

The white shirt waist is worn by ev-

Washable stocks of various sorts are
popular, and many linen ones have
handmade turnover collars. It: is to
be hoped women will adhere to wash
able neckwear, it is the only really de-
strable kind. One reason men look

Windsor with embroidered ends. Both
plain and plaid effects are in vogue in
this tie, the favored width is five
inches, the favored colors, white, navy

there are exquisite self-embroidered
lingerie stocks. Japanese embroidery
on waists and in neckwear promises to
be more than ever the rage; likewise

Bits of silk picked up at to-day'r

silks go so prettily with certain soft
tones of gray, and the combination is
the extreme Of style. Apricot cloth
makes lovely evening wrap, and the
trimming to use for such a wrap is
heavy lace. Not a few of the wraps
are made without sleeves, just big
capes, not unlike those we see in Old
fashioned fashion plates.

government adherent of to-day is tho
revolutionist of tomorrow. Jimine8
and Morales fought together for the
overthrow of Woz y Gil. Jiminez be-
lieved that when the fighting should be
rewarded with victory he would be
again chosen president. But Gen.
Morales, who led the victorious rebel
army into Santo Domingo City on the
surrender Of the government, dissi-
pated these hopes and declared himself
chief magistrate of the republic.
Whereupon Gen. Jiminez began his re-
volt against his former ally" In con-
nection with which it may be inter-
esting to recall that when Morales
fed the other day, the report immedi-
ately was circulated he had gone to
join the followers of Jiminez and form
new government with new capital
and new cabinet.
The Indebtedness of San Domingo is
variously stated, is put at $25, 900
and at $32,000,00O; but either figure
is pretty large for land of only 6O0,-
900 people. "San Domingo is prac-
tically in bankruptcy, without the
ability to pay and without the ability
to organize either government or an
economic system in such a way as to

completely overwhelmed by the deluga
Of begging epistles and demands, would
not have known how to meet them. It
would seem that every young French
man in the country desired to receive
commission as officer in the American
army, that every other Frenchwoman
considered it's Franl1lin's duty to send
out French colonists to the land Of

the back of a letter asking Franklin

wrote the epitaph which bespeaks
faith: "The body of BENJAMIN Frank

His magic was not far to seek,

We like also his calm attitude OF
learned society and university, at home
or abroad, conferred upon him honors
and degrees in appreciation of his IL.
lustrious achievements, he smilingly
accepted the appreciation, but on the
whole seemed rather amused than
pulled up. During his residence in
England as representative for the colo.
MES, when he was harshly censured
by the mother country and colonists,
he took reproof with silence, bided his
time. It would seem most desirable
attribute for diplomat to possess, a
philosophic bent.
A we'll recognized authority tells us
Franklins greatest service to America
was undoubtedly due to his skill in
diplomacy. His public-spiritednes
early indicated and continuing as long
as life; his tireless studies and broad
grasp Of affairs; his prestige among
scientific men Of International celebri
'ty; his neat wit and ability to get at
ihe heart Of matter; all these tended
to build up the success of our so very
successful diplomat. And perhaps it
would not be out of place here to re.
view his services as our representa-.
tive. On the mission to England he
succeeded IN obtaining what he had
been primarily sent out for, that the
descendants OF William Penn, proprie-
tors of Pennsylvania, be made pay
taxes on their private lands for the
support of the English troops; this
they had refused. Franklin had given
hj2 personal security to the Pennsyl-
vania farmers for supplies and trans
pcstation for Braddock's men at the
time of the French and Indian war.
The matter Of the Penn taxes satisfac.
torily settled, he turned his attention
to the stamp act and helped secure its
repeal.
It was service rendered during the
revolutionary war that is especially
notable. He obtained from France aid
and concessions which it is agreed nc
other nan possibly could have. 4. To
the French he was especially "gratia,''
