unknown, was intended to deride Queen
Anne's great general Marlborough: but

and is heard there to this day. The
"Marseillaise' was the great song oi
the French revolution. 1t was com
posed. words and music, in single
night by Rouget de Lisle. an army
officer. 1t is generally deemed the
finest of national songs.
England also has grand one, Goo

LATE HAIR FADS.

A fad OF the season adopted by women
possessing white hair is to dress entirely
in blue. preferably pale, but not the baby
shades. of course. The tone selected is a
dull metallic blue gray. The hat, hose and
shoes are OF the same shade of blue. and
in order that the whole toilet shall be in
perfect harmony the white hair Is tinged
with blue. the tint being given by means
OF adding bluing to the last rinsing water.
Gray or white hair Is often found streak
ed with a dirty looking yellow. and when
this appears an extra amount Of. bluing
Ia necessary.
A pretty hair decoration for youthful
heads is the ribbon substitute for the
half around the head barrette. A ribbon
matching the toilet worn gives a pretty
and complete finish to costume. Dainty
colored ribbon may be worn with white
frock with success and black ribbon
will be In good taste for mornings.
Such ribbon should be passed around
under the pufTs as a barrette is set in. and
then tied on the top in a pert upright
butterfly bow
