One Of the prettiest coifrures seen
this winter was displayed by Miss
Ethel Roosevelt, daughter of the presi-
dent, In a Washington theater a few
evenings ago. Her hair was crimped
IN big, soft waves and gathered back
from her face In cloudy masses with
out attempt at pompadour. 1t was
fastened at the back in a loose knot
with big, pearl topped comb. Wound
in and out Of the loose strands were
ropes of white satin ribbon on which
small pearls had been sewed. Miss
Roosevelt has abundant blond hair,
and this method Of dressing II was eff
fective. A novel couture was seen at
the opera the other evening. This par
ticular woman was gowned in cerise
satin. Her hair was pulled, and a
bunch Of cherries formed comblike
effect at the back, with jaunty knot
OF cherry ribbon just above the fruit.

SLEEP CURE FOR SIN.
Clergyman Says Wives Can Keep Aus-
bands Home, by Using IL.

bands Home. by Using II.
The sleep cure Is the latest discovery
in the realmE' of mental suggestion.
Just who discovered it has not been
revealed, but its marvellous powers
were described the other day by the
Rev. Henry O.. Rose, rector Of the
Church Of the Redeemer, in Newark,
N. J. OF course sleep itself helps to
refresh tired mortals, but the Rev. Mr..
Rose said that by mental suggestion
when the subject is asleep husbands
can be cured of vice, crimes can be
prevented and bad habits of children
removed. AS an Instance of the power
Of mental suggestion when the sub
ject is asleep the clergyman cited the
case of woman who cured her hus-
band Of his nightly habit of going to
his club.
AS described by the Rev. Mr.. Rose
the sleep cure is based on simple
theory. He said that while the con-
scious self is asleep the subconscious
self is awake. In fact, it never sleeps.
All a wife has to do is to sit by her
husbands bed and appeal to the wide
awake subconscious self to make the
husband good. The clergyman said he
and the Rev. Elwood Worcester, rector
Of the Emmanuel Protestant Episco-
pal church Of Boston, experimental on
about hundred children Of depraved
minds and that thirty-five were cured
entirely, forty-five were helped mate
rally and that the treatment failed
only In twelve cases.
In describing the case Of the woman
who tried the sleep cure on her hus-
band and thereby stopped him from
neglecting his home for his club the
clergyman said that the wife sat by
her husbands bed and told him that
the next night he would not go to his
club to drink and carouse, but that
he would come home, have good din
ner and spend the evening with her.
1.-THE next day the husband came
home as his wife said he would" the
Rev. Mr., Rose asserted. HE. forgot
his club, and soon, after persisting in
the treatment, the wife cured him en-
tirely. II such treatment is beneficia+
4 to the husband 1t will be good for
wives too. They might be kept from
extravagance in dress, and many I'M
happy homes might be frightened"

gether In an Organization.
Members Of the Yankee team which
defeated the cream of the worlds ath-
letes in the London Olympic games are
trying to keep the team intact by
banding together into an Olympic club.
Harry Porter, the former Comedian
who sports the winged foot and who
captured the high jump at the Olym-
piad, is sponsor for the idea. He is
now completing plans for the forma-
ton Of the club.
Charlie Dieges has struck off die,
for the club pin, and the design, which
will be copyrighted, undoubtedly will
be accepted by the Olympians. Only
members Of the Olympic team win be
permitted to wear the pin. James e.
Sullivan, the American commissioner
at the Olympic games; Mike Murphy,
the trainer Of the team, and Matty
Halpin, the manager, are the only
ones outside Of the athletes who will
be allowed to wear an Olympic en-
blem. Mr.. Dieges has designed a pin
for them which is practically the same
as that which the athletes will sport
These emblems will be presented to
Eulf~Ah, Murphy and Halpin.

Mob Insurance a Novelty.

A genuine novelty in the way Of In
surance was recently introduced in
London, England. called ''mob insur-
rance" 1t is taken out by merchants
against possible losses through rioting
or looting by mobs. This does not
mean that merchants fear the suffra-
gettes are about to burst all bounds
and inaugurate a reign Of terror. Pro-
lection Is rather sought against the
violence Of the unemployed, who are
unusually numerous In London this
season and are likely to become more
so as winter advances. The most ac-
tive demand for this queer insurance
is in the vicinity Of the parliament
buildings, which would naturally be
the objective. point Of a mob melted to
make demonstration against the au-
thorities.
