there The British publishers have
taken a tip from those in Paris and

The Frenchman loves good fiction,
but he's thrifty. 1t seems foolish TO
him to spend big sum on mere
story that's read and thrown away.
So the Paris publishers get out novels
large in type, excellent in paper, and
sufficiently we'll bound-for four francs
or so. The best men write them, and
they make just as much on the extra

are wise enough to know that mere

them even greater orofts than under

STYLES IN tiAIRDRESSING|
BANGS HAVE COME BACK, AND
THE PSYCHE IS DlsAP-
FEARiNG.

HE fashion of wearing the hair is
= undergoing an important change
just now. The extreme Psyche is dis
worn around every full couture.
The coming OF the bonnet is to
blame for this. 1t Is the old fashioned
shape giorified somewhat and cut out
In the back to show a large space OF
hair, which naturally must be elabo-
rately dressed to correspond.
The engraved or jeweled button
forms prominent ornament In the
Partisan couture at present. and so
does the triple coronet or band Of
pearls. The mop style of headdress is
another French novelty that for an
unconbcd effect certainly takes the
prize, 1t looks as ii the hair had been
hastily twisted around the head.
The heavy pompadour has disap-
peared, and Its place is being taken
by the softly parted waved effect
which Is brought down into a low
knot In the back
The old fashioned bang has come
back into favor. and the woman with
q high intellectual forehead Is seeking

in its effects than actually dyeing the

Restoring Public Monuments.

The restoration of public monuments
to their pristine tints is a matter that has
lately exercised the activity.of London's
rulers, and the process illustrates in
forcible manner the communicating quail
ties of London's atmosphere. The latest
example Is the Shaftesbury memorial, in
Piccadilly circus, whose nude Cupid pois-
ed on tiptoe on the summit of the foun-
tain appears above the canvas shroud
which conceals the workmen. his black
ened wings once more showing the sill
very luster OF sixteen years ago, when
the monument was unveiled. So dingy
had it become that people had ceased to
take any notice of the spOrtive urchin
aiming with his bow and arrow at the
passing busnlcn and cabbieS. whom
Punch drew In the act OF warding of
the shaft with uplifted arms guarding
their beads in attitudes of comic terror.
Only the other day the screen was re-
moved from the Gladstone statue in the
Strand-doubtless in view of the approach
ing centenary celebrations-and the po-
tent, grave and reverend figure of the
than it has appeared in for the last three
years, though the original brown sheen
Of the bronze has deepened into an ire
trievable ebony.
Not long ago the big cock tower at
Newington Butts. which marks the site
of church as old Saxon times. was
subjected to the patent steam blOwpipe
process of cleaning. The beautiful white
marble sculpture, now 50 sadly weather
stained on the Albert Memorial. repre-
senting the work Of eighteen OF the best
sculptors of the time. cries aloud for
some attention.
