Whisky and beer are foes OF the whole

muslin gown and pink ribbons over
starched skirts. and with A single dark
curl on each shoulder was the girlish en-
bodiment of the ideal old south of which
she told. Most of the stories were origi-

studied dialect and grooming sweetness
of the oid-time slave.

true to the luscious pink flesh and plump
proportions of our friend of the Georgia
vines, but it looks now as if its days were
numbered as an honored addition to the
tables of the rich and great, who will fill
its place with the little Roumanian inter
loper.
Women dissatisfied with the color of the
hair which God has given them, and who
resort to artificial means of changing it
do not appear to realize that they run a
serious risk of endangering the health in
so doing. 1t is almost always perfectly
easy to recognize hair that has been
touched up," and yet women do not seem
to mind this any more than the risk to
health if only they think they are adding
to their attractiveneSs. Apropos of the
danger in using hair dyes no matter how
harmless" and vegetable" they may be
pronounced, is the case of the Dowager
Queen Margherita of Italy, who is Sc
riously ill at present from the use of a
poisonous hair-colOring matter, and if she
recovers will be a lifelong invalid, it is
feared. The Queen had very pretty black
hair, but because it was black she wanted
it golden, of course, and used the dye to
make it so. She was delighted with this
change, and applied the drug freely; too
freely, it seems, for she was soon seized
with symptoms of tetanus, and for some
days her life was despaired of. All of
which should teach foolish women a les
son. But it probably will not.
