formerly known as the Corte Reale,
one of the most famous royal resi-.
dences in Europe.
Mr.. Morgan offered $5.000.000 for
this magnificent and ancient structure.
1t is reported-a fabulous fortune in
Italy. But the Italian government
holds that the Reggia is one of the
Kingdoms monuments and relics and
SO it was impossible to accept the
Americans offer. OF course this huge
work of art could not be taken out
of the country, but its sale would have
violated in a sense the law which for
bids the sale OF antiquities to foreign
ers.
The Reggia, which dates from 1902,
contains 600 rooms and has an extern

story Of a Moving Pumpkin.

A pumpkin was seen to walk across
the field by Mrs. Samuel II. Hight of
Skowegan recently. When she saw
it she thought her eyes were deceiv-
ing her, but she soon perceived that
the pumpkin moved a little way,
stopped and then turned in another
direction. She watched this object for
some time and told one of her neigh
bors. The mystery was solved, but
the two women did not dare to go
nearer the moving vegetable, but
called man who knocked the pump
kin over and found a polecat. The
skunk had crawled under the pumpkin
and stuck his head into hole in it
and was unable to extricate himself
from it and had walked off as best he
could with the pumpkin on his back

Bobbing curls. dancing on the head
Of childhood, arranged or disarranged,
appeal with an unending charm. 1t is
only lately that the most gifted hair
dressers have revealed to us all the
fascination of Curly Locks, as quaint
ly arranged for the little festival oc-
casions OF children.
AS in many late coiffures for grown
ups, the hair is cut in light, grace
full fringe across the forehead. writes
Julia Bottomley in The Illustrated
Milliner. For the little girl the re-
mainder of the hair is "frizzed" in the
quaint old-fashioned way, half its
length. This is accomplished with
curling irons or by dampening the
hair and braiding It in several tight
braids half its length. and allowing 1t
to dry. The cfimping necessary may
be very satisfactorily done on crimp-
ing pins. but they are not always com
Portable.
+. This pretty couture is lovely even
without the addition of pretty furbe-
lows. But the placing of the ribbon
band and buoyant bow as shown in
the picture is an immensely attractive
finish and takes the coiffure out OF
the simply childish class into the high
art rank The folded ribbon holds
two short curls to the front and in
every way adds brilliance to the de-
sign.

the second coiffure is presented.
This coiffure is an arrangement OF
curls pinned down to the head, in fact
mass of puffs with one end free The
hair is cut in light fringe across the
forehead and slightly curled. A por-
ton is parted off and tied at the
crown of the head, where 1t is twisted
into knot and pinned down to sup
port the curls. The remainder of the
hair is parted of in sections and ap-
parently tied near the head. Each sep
arate mass is then again parted into
strands and curled. The mass of big,
short culrs only needs then to be ar
ranged becomingly. They are placed
with careful attention to apparent
careless irregularity all over the back
OF the head. Little clusters of cork
screw" curls are grouped at each side,
where they appear to be held In place
by little jeweled ornament set with
pearls. Two strands of pearls strung
on wire extend across the head to the
other ornament at the right side of
the head. Narrow bands of velvet or
satin ribbon might be used An orna-
ment OF some description is essential
to this coiffure.
The little cork-screw curls at the
side are made by separating fuller
curls into strands. parting them off

KAISER'S NEW BATHTUB.
Designed for Tenements-Can Be Used
as a Dining Table Too.

The German Emperor is, as is well
known. great admirer of English do
nestle institutions. When over here he
was charmed with the practical way in
which the British workman living in
modern tenement houses has the use of
a bathroom
He ordered, therefore, to have plans
submitted TO him which took particular
note of baths in workmen's dwellings
with view to fit into small flats for
small families. The bath which was ul-
timately adopted is meant to serve a
threefoid purpose.
This bath is actually already in use
on the Emperor's different estates, and
can with a clever contrivance of some
wooden parts be changed into washing
tub, and this again can be changed into
dinner table. Thus workmen are re-
lieved from finding house room for big
bath in their dwellings, and when not in
use for bath or the washing it is one
of the most Indispensable pieces of fur
niture as the dinner table of the family
