Kingston Immediately after the
earthquake.
The jamaica Colon and the Jamai-
ca-Bermuda cables are interrupted
According to further though still
meagre details OF the Kingston
earthquake received here, it would
appear that the fire which followed
the shock was still burning Tues
day morning, although it had been
confined to certain limits. The work
of fighting the flames was still be-
ing pushed with energy, and in this
respect the situation seemed to be
improving. 1t was thought the fire
would be under control tonight.
The statement is made that the
total loss of life has not yet been
ascertained but first account

than one hundred, and the number

False Hair Considered Correct.

Puffs, curls and plaits bought in the shops
and ready to attach always have been more
or less popular with women, but never havd
they been favored to such a marked extent
as they are today. False hair is considered
the correct thing by the fashionable woman,
for she Is driven to accepting 1t in order to
achieve the reigning couture. The vogue
of artificial curls and pompadours has be-
come so general that no secret is made OF
the fact, and no one hesitates to admit that
natures deficiencies have been assisted by
art. The edict has gone forth that puffs
will continue to be worn through next
winter at least and with the present style
of millinery they are indispensable. we'll
as being pretty when correctly arranged.
There Is q great difference between tho
old methods Of using false hair and the
new. Formerly the natural hair was used
| as shield to hide the artificial locks, and
now ones own tresses form the foundation
of the couture upon which the false pieces
are pinned. Expert hairdressers claim that
puffs cannot be made properly with ones
own hair. for 1t is rarely of exactly the
right length or of the necessary lightness
and tendency to curl, so that the Of
artificial tresses is a positive necessity.
One Of the prettiest and most graceful
head dressings shown in the shops consists
Of a string of eight puffs. These puffs,
made OF beautiful natural curly hair, ara
pinned on in a careless, loose arrangement.
giving a youthful, artistic effect. The piece
worth the price in effect. Single puffs ara
hard to manage, but sometimes are used
with good effect by women who need only
a small additional amount of hair to COM
picte their couture Of natural hair The
single puffs range In price from 81 to 81.

Swear Off on Pies.
,m the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
What loyal American ever demanded
that his pie should be wholesome? Ever
since the foundation of the republic we
have been eating pie two three times
a day. and have proved the inherent
stamina of our race by surviving the
diet. All this time We have known that
We were taking our lives in our hands
and have grinned and rejoiced in the
risk. If they are going to make pie
healthful what is the use of eating itf
We shall still have doughnuts. fried
meats pickles, fee water. melons and
soda fountain connections to fall back
on. There will be plenty of ways left Of
running our stomachs and sourng our
dispositions. But 1t would be sad 10 have
this oldestablished institution pass
away. Pie his long been Americas great
national article of diet. It's praises have
been sung alike by Ralph Waldo Emer-
son and Col Henry Watterson and its
virtues have been matter for silent
thanksgiving by the great silent choir
of substantial citizens. But now. If pie
is not going to hurt us, we shall have to
stop eating it and discover some way of
getting strawberry shortcake all the
year round.

gay colored parkas, the hood with wolver-
inc fur border adding a picturesque color
note to the chiaroscuro. The arctic blue
berry is richer. more delicious than it's kim

is an esthetic delight as 1t lifts its royal

tinted leaves of waxlike texture. American
housewives combine the blue and salmon
berry into a delicious preserve. The ma
