There is "A general feeling that the
county should reimburse Chief Pond
and others who were at an expense in

of Mr. Ledbeter and for evidence in
the case. 1t does not seem right that
they should have to defray it them
selves. p. A. Ledbeter, it is said has

to bear all of the expense alone. Some
of his medo friends have helped some.

STYLE NOT LIKELY TO LAST.
Present Liking for Plaids and Checks
Will Be Evanescent.

A reason for the present great show
ing of plaids and checks in black and
white is that late home comers from
Paris last autumn tripped down the
gangways with jaunty costumes in
magpie colors, and that was consid-
cred forerunner of spring, because
markedly different from the then pre-
vailing fashion" AS a matter of fact,
the best French houses have "occa-
sions, and every modiste has model
gown or two in black and white, very
chic and becoming. The American
woman abroad will argue. "Oh, shep-
herds plaid; | can get that at home"
and so on. until she hears of model
gown at bargain. and then she buys
1t at sight. The autumn also is ia
vorite time for the wary Parisians to
dispose of their early spring stock
which they have managed to change
slightly in appearance by the abolition
of buckle or bows or by a touch of
contrasting color

Be careful not to use too much borax
in hair washing. 1t is better to omit
it entirely, unless the hair is oily, and
then it should be carefully rinsed.
If soap is used it should be pure-a
good CASTLE soap is excellent-and
should be shaved and boiled with
water, never rubbed into the hair
from the cake.
Thorough rinsing is the secret OF
good shampoo; plenty of water is
more important than the kind OF
shampoo mixture used. If possible
use a spray, or if that is out of the
question, rinse it in at least a dozen
waters
Unless the shampooing has been
done in egg the first rinsing should he
in very hot water gradually reducing
the temperature until cold water as 1t
runs from the spigot is forced on the
scalp The cold water is not only a
tonic. but lessons the danger of cold.
With an egg shampoo rinse out the
egg with tepid water before applying
hot water.
DO not try to dry in hurry. Light.
fluffy hair should not be rubbed. but
dried in the sun. This sun bath is also
important to keep the luster
Shining hair is much in demand just
now, and fyaway ends have given
place to comparative smoothness and
tight curling to more natural-looking
waves.
If the hair is to be kept lustrous do
not curl with irons the day it is sham
pooed. Instead use kid or wire curl
ers.
Do not treat the hair roughly A
brush should have rather soft bristles
and should be used with steady even
strokes. The stiff brushes so often
advised irritate the scalp.
Brush and comb must be kept clean
or hair treatment is nullified. Have
double set, so that both comb and
brush Cs1 be cleaned every few days
Very particular people clean a brush
after each using, but this is scarcely
necessary if the hair and scalp are
kept in good condition

The divine Sylvia was q delightful
actress, l must admit, and in spite OF
being 40 If she was day, and though
raddled with paint she had something
winning in her air and face, and |
could understand her tremendous pop
ularity with the young bloods.
Neither Sir Peter nor Polly, as
Giles called her, showed any signs
whatever Of having recognized us in
the large crowd in the pit, and we
began to congratulate ourselves hear
tily. There was seat next to us held
by gentlemans servant, and present
ly he gave way to remarkably hand
some young man of six or seven and
twenty.
A few words passed between master
and man, ard then we knew that the
handsome gentleman was Capt Philip
Overton of the Second Life Guards.
Giles exchanged significant looks
with me.
Capt. Overton seated himself quiet
ly, and, after careless glance at the
house, seemed to retire into his own
thoughts, quite unmindful of the stage
and what was going on upon it. |
wondered why man who seemed so
little in harmony with his surround
ings SHOULD take the. trouble to come
to the play.
But IL Capt. Overton was Indifferent
to all about him, one person, the
young beauty in Lady Hawkshaw's
box, was far from Indifferent to him.
Lady Arabella saw his entrance, and
from that moment she was occupied
in trying to obtain his attention When
at last he recognized her and bowed
slightly, she famed all over with color,
and gave him as good an invitation as
any man might want to come to her
box. But Overton made no sign OF any
intention to go to her, and, when she
finally seemed to realize this, she be-
came as Indifferent to all about her as
he was. Other persons came to the
box and went during the play, but
they got little heed from Lady Ara
bella. Little Daphne, although but a
child. not yet in her teens, showed a
lively interest in all that passed and
behaved in most young ladyish way,
much to my diversion. q was all of
two years older than she)
AS the play progressed, I saw that
Giles was becoming more and more
infatuated with the fledgling beauty,
and he even whispered to me a sug-
gestion that we present ourselves
boldly at the door of the box.
This l received with horror. fear
ing both Sir Peter and Lady Hawk
shaw. Indeed, had not been able to

and aunt for a moment.

Decorated Linen Belts

A decidedly new and novel idea is
to applique linen belts with oddly
shaped bits of colored linen.
The belts should be rather wide and
unlincd. Diamond shaped, round and
oblong pieces of linen in red, blue, old
pink, Jade green and violet are then
stitched on in an irregular manner.
Conventional designs may be ad-
hered to. and the bits of linen may
also be piped with contrasting color.
One of these belts run through
crude bronze buckle would add dis
tinctly original touch to a white linen
shirtwaist suit.

should so unwashed longer than six
weeks. Each month is the accepted
time.
Before washing the hair it is well
to loosen the dirt with little kero-

be put on the night previously if the
hair is to be shampooed early in the
