New Orleans business men, he
said, shippled cotton to Liverpool and
gold was sent over here in payment
on exchange ON New York, which
the latter banks refused TO pay out
after receiving it. This was the worst
thing OF all in the senator's opinion

Blondes and Brunettes.

1t is said, though whether it is
worth remembering or not is a mat
ter OF choice, that more fair people
than dark ones remain unmarried,
and people residing in the country
have lighter hair that those who live
in towns, owing to the fact that they
are more in the sun and fresh air.
Black hair was most esteemed by the
ancient Jews, while the Greeks and
Romans gave the preference to the
golden shades. Those with dark hair
work most, those with fair hair think
the most. Red hair is sign of pas
sion, jealousy and ardor; auburn
shades indicate delicacy and refine
ment of taste; dark brown hair COM
bines strength and susceptibility;
while. black hair denotes hasty tenn
per, self-will and revenge, says Wom-
ans Life. AS to complaints, some
one has said black.haired people are
most liable to consumption, brown
haired to rheumatism and heart dis.
ease, red-haired to pleurisy, pneu-
monia, ague and neuralgia and fair
haired persons to skin Diseases.

That proposition made the old car

an idea occurred to him.

old man slowly left the room, murmur-

To Keep Skirt from Sauuino,

Often that which appears to be
most perfectly tailored skirt will grow
to hang with a twist, or the plaits will
fly back farther on one side than on
the other. 1t nearly always turns out
that the stitching upon plaits or cores
is run up one side and down on the
side opposite. The natural inclination
followed even by the women that do
the work for good tailors is to. stitch
down from the top ON one side, and,
turning the skirt most easily in the
machine, to stitch up on the other.
Instead, all of the work should run up
or all of it down-preferably down.
Without taking this care a skirt may
sag and the greatest amount of fuss
ing and pressing will never get the
Warped quality out of it.
