Mir. and Mrs. McGill are enthusiastic auto ists and Mrs. McGill is also extremely fond of athletic sports and is brilliant foncer. Mir. McGill has devoted con- siderable attention to the manly art" and there are well authenticated stor- les of friendly bout between the actor and a well known champion in which the champion came out sec- ond best.
 MT. and Mrs. McGill go from here to Scranton, Penn, where they are to play in stock during the summer in MT Poli's new theater. They will take with them several of the members of the Bijou stock.
 The Bljou stock is ich in favorites. Miss Dorothy Lamb. Miss May and Mise Edith Crolius have large follow ings in this city as have MT. Burt King, Mir. Paul Anderson, Mir, Charles Kennedy and Mir.

the hair or how much it may be altered
in color, it's owner may rest assured that
it is the one best suited to her age and
the present condition of her complexion.
To deliberately wear hair of another shade
is to frankly advertise the fact of its
fasty.
Only woman with a perfectly shaped
and rather small head should attempt the
Greek coiffure, which, however varied,
always reveals the outline across the top
of the head and from the nape of the
neck to the forehead via the scalp line

If a straight line cannot be drawn from
the center of that knot. or braid coil, to
the tip of the nose, then the couture is
out of proportion. The manner of deco
rating these Psyche heads is largely a
matter of individual taste. Fiets of
gold, colored or black ribbon are more
strictly Grecian than are coronetS, and
in every instance one strand at least
should cross the top of the head, whence
it may encircle the knot or terminate at
the back of the neck. CCronet Orna-
ments, whether of ribbon or flowers of
gold and jewels, are best with pompa-
dour coiffures, and these will continue to
be worn by women with full faces.

About Shirt Waists.

A MONG the shirt waists designed for
"a autumn and early winter use are
some of heavy linen in white and plain
light and dark colors. They are appar-
emily almost tight-fitting, for the reason
that the two deep side pleats crossing the
outer ends of the shoulders are stitched
fatty to the waist and there is scarcely
any fullness under the arms The fronts
close blindly little toward the left side
by means of an irregularly shaped band
that is decorated with four large pearl
buttons, the sleeves are of the small
shirt type, pleated into the armsize and
finished with turn-back cuffs, and there
is turnover boyish collar, which faStens
with a fan-pleated muslin rabat.
Fancy wool braid of the scalloped or
pointed order is being employed for the
garnishing of some of the challis shirt
waists which are to be worn this winter
under runabout street suits, as they are
decidedly warmer than those of linen and
launder equally as well. They have the
twin deep shoulder pleats. but in addition
there are shaped bias bands which en-
circle the neck from back 10 front whence
they extend. gradually tapering to the
waistline. The braid is used to border
these bands and also finish for the
cuffs of the conventionally shaped sleeves,
and for the high turnover collar, which
like the cuffs, is decorated with small but
tons similar to those fastening the fronts.
Maggie reliefs for white net blouseS are
in the form of attachable neck and wrist
rifles. or rather. collar and cuffs. as
they literally take the place of those ac-
cessories. They are formed of two-inch-
wide side-pleated net ruffies shirred
through the center on TO "A tape attached
10 the under side. Their edges are Dor
dered with very full little frillings of
inch-wide black thread lace. which also
finish the ends by being gathered into
little fans which merge into sort of
rosette when they are Joined at the back
OF the neck or at the outer side of the
wrist.

Paragraphs.

TN the realm of sweaters are some good
models which may readily be reproduce
ed by the woman who likes to knit as she
chats One of these is on the lines of
the old-fashioned jersey, such as is ST.
worn by fishermen. 1t drawn on over
the head. fits with eel-ike tightness and
extends far below the hips. where it ter
inmates with stocking banding similar
to that which forms the high collar and
the long cuff. There are no pockets, but
tons suggestion of relief, but it is
immensely smart with a strictly tailored
English mohair or clan plaid golfing
skirt. Another sweater also intended for
use on the links. is of deep scarlet coll
orng trifie more than half-fittng and
extending so far over the hips that it is
quite twanty-eight inches long. Its double
breaste fronts are fastened with large
white mot her-of-peari buttons and tits
turnover notched collar. turn-back cuffs
and the flaps of its twin hip pockets are
of black velvet.
Nearly every collar accompanying
blouse or a gown that is not strictly
tailored is exceedingly high and finished
at the top with tulle pleatings which are
made to stand crispy and straightly out
from the throat. When such pieatinEs
are made of lace they should fall in soft
full ruffles over the top of the collar in
stead of out of il. but this style. be it
understood, does not suit every woman.

out as far as the armSiza of an ordinary

A NTIQUE and modern methods of
~ halrdreSsing are alike used in
connection with the directore robes
for not to every woman, even though she
be an acknowledged beauty. is given a
profile like cameo. Unless a feminine
face has the straight line from the fore
head to nose tip. the owner of it would
best beware of a couture which empha-
sizes this effect AS yet no fashionable
woman of the present generation has had
the moral courage to accurately copy the
severe hairdressing of the Venus di
Medici, but numbers of them have shown
tendencies in that direction by adopting
the straight parting over the forehead and
coiling the locks just below the crown.
Because the present styles in hats de-
mand punches of hair at the side of the
head directly over the ears, the parted
tresses, ever so slightly waved, are drawn
over rolls, but before they are finally
mingled with the coil round comb is set
backward over the crown. This holds the
pads more firmly and supports the curled
hair, which. in most instances, is apt to
fatten under the weight of the hat. The
same manner of doing what may be
termed 1.-THE modified Medici' may be
varied by using back string of small
puffs or a bunch of curls instead of
coil This scheme is particularly useful
to the woman of scanty or very short
treSseS.
Another type of couture. which is excel
lent for daytime, and exceptionally be-
coming to woman who cannot adopt
the part the brow, calls for an all
round pad. which must be pinned about
the head as nearly as possible to the
edges of the scalp. The slightly waved
hair is then drawn over this from all d.
rections. pinned a slight distance above
the nape of the neck, and the long ends
then twisted into a figure eight, which
is distributed from the joining place to
above the crown of the head. This makes
very firm couture and one that Is
adapted TO almost any style OF hat, but
of course, is bit too severe for even
ings as we'll absolutely unsuited to
woman with long or very pointed nose.
Rather similar. but somewhat less trying.
is a couture having a pad of large size
pinned quite close to the crown OF the
head, the front locks waved loosely and
then drawn carelessly over 1t, and the
back tresses formed into an eight. This
manner of hairdressing is particularly
good with large hat that is worn we'll
back from the brow, as the loose locks
about the face soften whatever hard
lines there may be.
Empress bandeaux are high in favor
with gray-haired matrons. as there is
something extremely dignified about the
deeply waved locks which, drawn down

Charlotte Corday Hats.

The Charlotte Corday hats, both in the
conventional and modified shapes, have
taken a hold upon public fancy, but If
more women would make critical use of a
hand glass we might see fewer worn.
The success of the shape depends upon
the arrangement of the back hair and
when this is Scant or worn close to the
head the effect is very far from pleasing.
With this model a low and puffy Golf
fure i'm the back is absolutely necessary
for something as one might say, for the
brim of the hat to rest upon.
