Next morning, when Messrs. Folsom,

The blistering, perpendicular sun blaze,

When rumor declared that thirty
more beautiful spear-heads were forth
coming, a small camp of unemployed
warriors ate and slept before Dams

was making, to his order, some fifty

LIKE THE PARTED PoMPADouR.
Smart Women Quick to Take Up Fan
cy Recently introduced.

After all the preaching about the
parted pompadour, it didn't come in
until the season was well started. Now
the smart women are rapidly taking
H. up At the opera, at dinner dances,
ct the theater and wherever women
gather with bare heads the parted
pompadour is the mode of the mo-
ment,
1t is doubtful if the small roll of
hair over the temples could be digni-
fed by the name of pompadour. 1t
stands out little from the face. 1t is
slightly waved, more often at home
than on the irons of the hairdresser.
The parting is oh the left side and
the hair brushed away from it in man
fashion.
At the right side of the part the
hair sweeps down over the brow and
across the temples in large ripping
wave. The left side goes back over
the ear and is tucked into the small
Psyche knot that stands straight out
from the head.
Every one thought this parted POM
padour would be unbecoming; on the
contrary, 1t is quite attractive and a
charming relief from the mass of
ruffed and rated hair that we have
been wearing over the brow for years.
Whatever rats or crepes are put
into the hair to keep it out now are
used at the sides. They must not go
across the back except under the
Psyche knot.
The correct couture adopted by the
majority has the hair brushed up

HOUSE GOWN AT SMALL COST
Silk and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used
with Excellent Results.

The girl who wants a pretty house
gown at small cost is buying the silk
and cotton fabrics that take the place
of organdie and other thin materials.
These are often lowered in charming
colors and also made up in polka dots
and fine self-covered stripes.
The girl who makes her clothes at
home can handle this material quite
easily. She wants one-piece frock
of it slightly curved in at the waist,
fastening down back and cut out in a
slight square at neck.
Below the square she insets a piece
of embroidered filet net over white
chiffon, or uses color, as she prefers.
Above this she puts narrow band OF
lace.
The sleeves are half way to elbow,
fit the arm, and are finished with a
frill of lace and a bow of ribbon. There
is quite new touch in arranging this
elbow frill. A narrow edge of lace is
used around the inside of the arm,
then a double box plat at the back
that is five inches deep and has wide
square satin bow at the top.
This is much prettier than the old.
fashioned way of gathering in a lace
frill of one width.

Physical culture to Save Floures.

New York young women of society
have entered with ardor upon a new
system of physical culture, with a view
to adding harmony to their figures and
preserving them from irregularity of
line. They have placed themselves
under the instruction of an actress
who retains her physical symmetry,
though she is no longer young. This
woman points to herself as proof of
the efficacy of her system. 1t embraces
the varied use of elastic devices of va
rious size and weights. These contriv.
ances are used, in many ways, the
work being graded with a view to in
dividual needs. Medicine balls Of
graded sizes and weights also are used
and the teacher also puts her pupils
through vigorous movements of arms
and body, which bring all the muscles
into play.
