WOMEN'S
WINTER COIFFURES
Pompadours in Round Effect Parted on One Side
or in the Center Usually Becoming.

To arrange becoming couture is al
ways difficult for the woman of middle
age, because as a rule her hair is thin,
and her face being broader or more slen-
der than in youth, makes even the SIM
AS an aid to this deficiency false hair
must be used to soften the evidences Of
old age and to complete an effective Golf
fure. One of the best first 'helps'' to
scanty locks is the false pompadour. Not
the piece of hair pinned to the front of
the head which deceives nobody-but a
long fringe Of hair not unlike an In
dams headdress that fastens around the
head with hook and eye.
To adjust this piece the natural hair is
allowed to fall over the face. neck and
shoulders, then the false hair Is secured
to the head and falls over the natural.
When both are mingled the hair is taken
back and dressed. This artificial piece is
called the contour and differs from the
Transformation, in that 1t Is much more
natural looking besides being less weight
upon the head.
Styles in hairdressng for elderly wom-
en- do not change often: still new ideas
are launched each season, even though
they are not always adopted.
For instance. the pompadour. though not
new. will surely never go out of fashion
while there are middle-aged women, for
1t is an arrangement that allows Of SO
many notifications that almost any type

AS an example of its adaptability, If the
forehead is too high to make the brushed

be parted at the side and dropped trifle
Just above the eyes.
A woman with a fat, round face should
not wear a perfectly round pompadour.
Instead, she should divide the hair in
three parts and arrange each strand
to suit her face. If the cheek
bones are high or the face is broad as
well as round, the hair must be puffed
slightly on the sides.

Coroner's Jury.

RICHMOND, Va, December 1O-The
coroner's jury which has been investisat-
ing the death of Mary Murphy, the Irish
immigrant girl. who died in a cab in
front Of a hospital, where she had gone
to find relief from her suffering, returned
a verdict yesterday that the young wom-
an came to her death as the result of a
criminal operation.
The verdict duplicates Fannie Pope, a
negress. and A. NJ Vaughan. young
drug clerk. sweetheart of the dead girl,
who has left the city and is now be-
lieved to be in hiding in New York city
or Baltimore, in both of which places he
has relatives.

fected by elderly women. and is particu-
| larly becoming to long or oval shaped
! face. To make this arrangement the hair
is f1uffed about the face, then rolled back,
preferably over the tips Of the ears. braid
ed in the back. the braids taken around
the front part of the head. At the base
OF the braid the hair is brought over to
conceal it's beginning, and high. mar
row comb is set in at this point.
The woman with small face and body
should first dress her front hair in POM
padour style. then bring all the tresses
softly to the crown of the head. braid it
there and take around the head at the
back of the pompadour. finishing with the
high comb.
There must be no drawn look about this
couture, for the locks should be a loose
mass from the nape Of the neck to the
top of the hair where It is tied. Any
straining may be corrected by pulling as
necessary.
When the short woman possesses high
forehead she can part her hair. take it
back softly and arrange the coronet braid
on edge instead of placing fiat on the
head.
The majority of middle-aged women pre-
fer the hair dressed on the crown Of the
head. the front half taken back in a soft
pompadour. This is a couture that can
scarcely be improved upon. as is evil
denced by the fact that it has been in
vogue so long.
The only change is that the fancy ball
hairpins have taken the place OF the
side combs as a decoration.
When the hair is short but fairly thick
a group of little curls pinned to the head
in place of the natural coil is pretty.
These little roll curls can be bought ar
ranged IN a heart-shaped groundwork
that is exceedingly light. Pinned down
with fancy hairpins they look natural.
Hairpins Are inexpensive.
Most decorative pins will cost no more
than 25 cents apiece while for 80 cents
there are hairpins in gray celluloid

when adjoining silver locks.
Another pretty ornament for prema-
turely gray hair. especially when the COM
plexion is pink and white, is the cut jet
hairpiece.

Saving Wooden Poles.

! Restore B. Lamb, a Mount Holly in
ventor, has made application for patent
for mode of treatment for telegraph,
telephone, and other poles He claims
that, for the small expense Of 30 cents, a
pole can be preserved for service ten years
IN excess of pole that has not had this
treatment. An important advantage is
that this treatment can be applied to poles
now installed, as well as to new ones.
As it is we'll established fact that the
first evidence of decay in q pole is always
at the surface Of the ground, and extends
a few inches beneath, in order to over
come and remedy this damaging condition,
the following treatment is adopted:
First.-The earth Is removed from
around the pole TO the depth Of about one
foot, and If decay has commenced, this
decay is scraped away, after which a thin
metallic casing is placed around the pole,
leaving about one inch space between the
surface of the pole and the casing. Into
this vacant space is poured boiling hot
asphalt, which permeates all parts, and
will furnish perfect protection and secur-
ity against all changes of the atmosphere,
thus removing the cause of the early de-
struction of all poles.
AS asphalt is considered to be of an in
fiammable nature, in order to give perfect
security from this danger, concrete
cement is placed upon the surface of the
asphalt, and extends about two inches
tapering to the sides of the pole.
To finish the operation, the earth is
returned and securely packed around the
casing. The frightening of the life Of
the pole would greatly assist in prolong-
ing the supply, and check the rapidly ad.
vancing price.

Vincentown will be here. After consider
able discussion, manager Haines agreed
to bring his aggregation here provided a

was assured. Manager Haines wants it un-

So the Mount Holly boys had better brush
up. There should be good crowd at this
game to aid the home management to
meet expenses.
While the score shows that a close game
was played at Mount Holly, on Saturday,
the fact is that the affair was a farce and
the runs gained by the visitors were gifts
from the home club. Moorestown was
the opposing team and 1t was outclassed
from the start. Mount Holly made two
runs in the second inning and one in the
seventh. Moorestown made two runs in
the last inning They stole five bases
simply because no effort was made to
catch them. Thorne struck out twelve of
the visitors, and could have done better if
necessary. 1t was not very interesting
game to witness.
