SHOCK TO FASHIONABLE MEN
KING EDWARD WEARS FRoCK
COAT AND SOFT HAT.
AS It Is Considered That He Can
Do No Wrong, His Example
Will Be Generally Followed.

LONDON. July I. 1909
Once more King Edward has set a new
style and given momentary shock to
fashionable men who pride themselves
upon wearing only what is absolutely
correct at certain times on certain occa
sions. A soft light colored Homburg hat
with a frock coat these arbiters of style
do not consider correct, and when the
king at a house party not long ago
appeared arrayed after this manner one
Sunday the men present gasped with
establishment, but the king can do no
wrong, so OF course they did likewise.
The kings frock coat was worn with
gray trousers, white waistcoat and black
tie, but instead of the requisite silk hat
so sleek and shiny there was an unpre-
tentious but thoroughly comfortable light
gray soft felt E,mburg hat The frock
coat has always been crowned by the
top hat before. AID there are some bold
spirits who are still questioning the posi-
bliity of changing such an absolutely
canonical style. However in the end the
kings custom will be followed. 1t al
ways Is, and the Honlburg hat he so ia
vors may usurp the prerogatives of many
kinds of headgear. Certainly it is COM
Portable, and that is a great deal
The king sometimes startles society by
these radical changes in dress. but the
queen never does. Sne follows cOnyen-
tionS slavishly as far wearing things
which should be worn together. and she
will not have anything to do with fash
ions which are extreme. Two privileges
however. she reserves to herself. She
never changes her style of hair dressing
no matter what the prevailing mode may
be. For years she has hung to the high
coiffure, coils of hair on the top of her
head and the fringe which was in vogue
when she was young. In her hats. too
she will not conform to prevailing modes

FRENCH COFFEE MAKING.
Startling Disclosures Regarding the
Methods Employed.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. July 17.-Startling disclosures
are made of methods In common use for
the manufacture Of coffee" It seems
that Of factories for that purpose existing
in France there are LOG which turn out
$4,000 tons annually. while there are 56S
such establishments in Austria Hungary,
including 41e for the manufacture of
coffee from figs, and in Germany nearly
$4,000 hands are employed In the trade,
and the annual output is 100000 tons.
1t follows that large quantity Of ''cof-
fee" which persons drink has not an
atom of the real berry in it. The list
Of substances out of which 1t Is manu-
factured is alarming. Cereals soaked
with beer. brandy or rum, chestnuts and
horse -chestnuts, haricot beans and broad
beans, carrots. dates. and. finally, the
hard roe of cod. The annual output OF
what is charmingly "fanciful COFFEE for
Europe Is estimated at over 257, 900 tons.

Democratic Candidate for Vice Pres
ident Criticises Party Senator's.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 17.-At a
banquet Of the Indiana Commercial Trav-
elers' Club here tonight John w. Kern.
recent democratic candidate for Vice
President. took occasion TO criticise the
action of certain democratic senators on
the tariff bill. Mr.. Kern said:
During this session Of Congress new
doctrines and strange ones have been
promulgated on the democratic side of the
Senate chamber.
at will be for the next democratic
national convention to once more settle
the question as to where the democratic
party stands on this question OF tariff
taxation. and in the meantime it will be
incumbent upon the constituents of some
Of the senators to pass Judgment on the
question as to whether they have been
properly represented In the Senate of the
United States by these men who have
openly repudiated the platform declara-
tions of their party and betrayed the
interests they promised to serve.
The contest over the pending tariff
measure has produced good results. Scales
of great size have fallen from the eyes
of our own Senator Beveridge, who has
finally discovered that the tariff is tax
which the foreigner does not pay. Some
of his recent preachments have given his
democratic friends much hope that as he
advances in years and accumuates dis
cretion he may become a pronounced ad-
vocate of true tariff reform

DEMAND FOR FALSE HAIR
FRENCH MAIDENS GETTING
HIGHER PRICES.
Puffs and Curls Are Going Out in
England and Long Coils Are
Being Worn.
snec,a, correspopdence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, July Z, 1909.
The great human hair fair which takes
place every year in France, and which
has lust concluded at Limoges. has
proved most emphatically that the craze
for false hair is not lessening, but IN
creasing. Those peasants who have
abundant locks varying in shades from
black to golden and all tones of gray sell
their hirsute adornment at these fairs to
dealers who make it up into the puffs or
switches that are in vogue and resell 1t
again in Paris and other cities for big
prices.
Hitherto S5 pound for hair in ordi-
nary brown and dark shades was regard
ed by the peasants as an excellent price
and they parted willingly with their locks
at that rate, but last year pr.ces COM
drove hard bargains with the dealers
and hairdressers. Hair worth So pre-
viously rose to $40 and S12 pound. whi e
golden locks fetched S15, and the high
est price of a was obtained for small
quantity of silver white hair of fine tex
ture. as much as SO pound being paid
for one consignment.
Never before have the peasants reaped
such profits, and though there are many
snorn heads all through the country the
owners are happy in the possession OF
nest eggs to help with the dowry or for
old age.
In England the puffs SO vastly popular
for a year or more are being replaced by
the braid or coils of hair wound round
the head False hair is just as neces-
sary for this 'coiffure as the other, for
few women have tresses long enough in
this day of curling irons and dyes to wind
a plat around their heads. With the
loss of the puffs comes also the decree
of fashion that woves should be aban-
doned. In fact, English women are wear
ing the plainest and severest of coiffures
after an exaggeration of puffs. curls,
waves, jeweled pins, ribbons and. flow
ers that made heads look out of all pro-
portion to the necks and shoulders be-
meath them.

except German is spoken, where all the
