slimness Of the modish figure.
Less of Hair Worn.
Exaggeration in couture seems to have
passed. Puffs, curls and braids are still
worn, but not in the overabundance that
emphasized their use last winter. The
few who have the temerity to attempt the
classic simplicity of the Greek style do so
at their peril, for the face must be rarely
beautiful and the outline severe without
austeTity TO achieve the right effect. A
moderate pompadour, ending in a cluster
OF loosely pinned hair, arranged low or
high as the face demands, is the accepted
mode, and the difference between the
American headdress and the English lies
in the fact that every English woman's
head looks like every other. All are turned
out smartly from the hair dresser's without
an individual turn or twist, the waving
perfect, the arrangement mathematically
correct, while the American, having studied
her individual preference, shows often
times a home made couture very becom-
ing and unusual.
There are no high ornaments worn on
the head. The couture Is destitute OF

English people, not chatterers like our

In the Savoy Court.
The Savoy court was originally intended
only for the reception OF hansoms and
four wheelers. The big taxicabs congest
traffic in the narrow space and furnish
many an episode to laugh al. Particu-
larly violent was the o~bjurgation of one
Of the old-timers on a recent occasion.
He was a cabby Of the old school, rotund
as to body, plethoric as to face, with a
fine vocabulary and a full grown hate OF
the encroaching taxis.
Standing erect at the rear of his shabby
hanson and swapping his whip first or

alert quality that the Englishman appears
to possess. The girl is a little above

LONDON, July S.-Theatrical people are
conspicuous at the Savoy at the supper
hour this season, fashionable people at the
Carlton. At both resorts is a goodly sprink-
ling OF rich Americans.
Almost any night in the grill room at
the Savoy you will see an assemblase OF
transatlantic talent mingled with the home
variety. Rose Stahl comes in as breezy
as ever. The melancholy that she once
announced she had dashed to the mast
must stin be there, for there is not the
slightest evidence Of it's existence, and why
should there be, for The Chorus Lady
is one OF the successes Of the Strand.

one sees Cissie LOTUS in a stunning gown

Manners i'm Supper Rooms.
At many tables in the fashionable supper
rooms you see women smoking. To an
American who expressed surprise at the
sight an English man said:
mo hotel or restaurant In London re-
fuses service to the woman dining alone
or with a feminine companion and no en-
barge is placed in any of them against the
feminine cigarettes. Conspicuous? Why,
personally 1 would never think of looking
at a woman who was smoking any more
than 1 would at a man. Why should 1?
1 never heard of such a thing. You're
Joking, aren't your"
The conversation the newly arrived
American overhears at the supper rooms
is as interesting as the people. One of the
super-Englished American women is ex-
planning the political situation to some
awestruck cousins from the other side. She
announces that an E~nglishman's wife must
know something about parliamentary do
ings or else be excluded from the current
topics OF conversation, In answer to a
casual question she remarks:
Il really cawn't say the exact reason for
that, but / assume that the situation you
speak OF is tinctured by the Chamberlain
ism of the Midlands."
The cousins are properly impressed and
the Anglicized wife raises her Iorgnette
and looks %haughtily at some of her coun-
trywomen who in tailor gowns and hats
are being instructed at the door by the
head waiter that they will have 10 sit in

Naturally the American eye looks for
differences in fashions and finds few
enough. 1t is not the clothes, but the

voices that makes the two nations diff
ferent.

A girl with one dimple and 400

the gingham apron and goes into

singing range the well-made bread,
the majestic pies and the sublime
potlicker. In the eyes of her en-
tranced husband she outglitters the
Queen Of Sheba and her children

times a day and several times be-
tween meals.
When the bread is perfectly baked,
the coffee strong and hot, the steak

ing butter is absorbed, the spirit of,
the Lord descends upon that house,
hold like dove and the caverns of
the lucky mans soul echo with
''Glory Hallelujah!'' It beats bridge,
it lays euchre in the shade, it makes
the job in the shop look like 80

divinity. She is the delight of a
mans soul and glory in the sight
of God. And we have such girls in

of Barnard college, which includes

one of the fair grads spoke a piece
declaring her intention of becoming
president of the United States. The
same day at Chicago a woman trap
expert defeated every male member
of the Chicago Gun club. But the
Barnard young woman's declaration
IS the thing that makes us sad, for
no matter how much we yearn to be
alive when woman president takes
the chair, we know that we shall not
be. Methusaleh lived $50 years, but
we doubt that even if he were Just
beginning life now he would be able
to attend the Inauguration of a
woman president. As for the Bar

older than she will own up to by the
time she is elected. Still it was I'M
