USE POWDER ON CoIFFUREs
Partisan Idea Is Undoubtedly Pretty,
But Is Not Likely to Become
Popular.

The powdered couture adapted to
modern needs has made its appear
ance in Paris.
While this is novel it is hardly like
ly to be generally accepted.
The powdered tresses are now
drawn up loosely from the sides to
back toward the crown of the head,
where they are built up, not too pre-
tentiously. into coils and puffs, with
tiny curls softening any hard outline,
When poised at the right angle the
coils and puffs have very charming
effect. and to hold them in place one
of the fashionable jeweled bands is
drawn round the head
Another version of the couture
poudre shows the waved hair parted
in the center and simply drawn to the
nape of the neck, where it is ar.
ranged in a series of cells. Round the
head as finish there is coil of twist
ed pearls, which clasps at the side
with a pearl cabochon.
Some women are parting the pow
dered hair from the forehead to the
nape of the neck and then arranging
the tresses in shell fashion over the
ears, the shell-like coils, being plated
with strings of jet or pearls.
This style is very quaint and cur
iously becoming to the youthful face.
Hair Gressers and milliners in Paris,
who work together in evolving new
styles to harmonic with each others
art, are experimenting in ringlets and
curls for daytime coiffures.
With the present style of hat, which
comes low on the forehead, extinguish-
ing all signs of hair, something had
to be done to soften the hard. unbe-
coming line between neck and hat,
and for this ringlets and little neck
curls are again being pressed into
service.

SHORT COAT OF LACE AGAIN
Popular Garment Has Returned to
Favor, With Many Designs to
Select From.

The short coat of lace has returned
at the bidding of fashion.

sleeveless style and is bordered with
fringe or bound with satin, according

one falling at either side.
These are worn with indoor frocks.
The material may be chiffon, gauze
or marquisette. Any color to tone or
contrast with the gown is in good
taste.
The coats are pretty and graceful
and are charming addition to any
costume.

Then came the Revolution. The
English planned to stir up the murder
GUS Iroquois against the patriots Sir
William Johnson sturdily opposed so
treacherous and bloodthirsty a course.
But Johnson died at the very outset
of the Revolution, and his sons, aided
by Brant, persuaded the Iroquois to
take the warpath in behalf of Great
Britain
Brant-with the rank of British
colonel-led his ferocious braves up
and down the Mohawk in series of
atrccious massacres-at Cherry Val
ley, Minisink and elsewhere-in which
neither women nor children were
spared Brant's admirers claim that
he was not responsible for the bloodi-
est of these crimes, but that he was
unable to control his men. ct is a
matter of record, however, that he was
easily able to control them in all other
matters.) He commanded the Indians
in the battle of Oriskany, August 6,
1879, where gallant General Herkimer
was slain and where Brant's craftiness
lured the patriot militia into a death
trap. The horrors of the Wyoming
valley massacre have a1so-truthfully
or not-been laid to the sachem's ac-
count Yet several instances are re-
corded where he went out of his way
to save women, children and defense
less men from the stake or the toma-
hawk. He was an odd mixture through
out>of savage and man of culture.
End of Strange Career.
When the Revolution was over
Brant threw all his energies into the
task of calming the Indians and plac-
ing them on friendly terms with the
government. Crossing to Canada, he
secured a tract of land as home for
himself and his people. There for
years he ruled the Mohawks with wis
dom and justice. He returned to his
old plan of doing missionary work
among the savages; translating the
prayer book and part Of the Scriptures
into their language and building for
them the first church ever erected in
Upper Canada.
In 1907, at the age of si.Ity-five, Jo-
seph Brant died at Wellington square,
Canada. Pretty Theodosia, daughter
of Aaron Burr, who once entertained
the sachem during visit to New
York, wrote thus quantity of him:
after all, he was most Christian
and civilized guest in his manners!"

complete the hassock the second cir
cular piece of carpet is fastened on
A hassock of this shape can be
more easily moved about the floor
than the ordinary shape, as it can be
rolled to any particular spot without
lifting it from the ground
If the end pieces are cut oval in
shape instead of circular, a hassock of
a rather different form can be made
in precisely the same way as that de
scribed, and will be equally useful,
but cannot of course be rolled along
the floor For kneeling purposes the
oval hassock viii perhaps be found
more comfortable than a circular one,
though after IT has been much in use
it will more or less lose its shape and
become somewhat oval.

You and enjoyed for a time pleas
ant friendship. You have ended it.
Will you please leave me? / do not
care to walk with stranger"
Carter's perplexed, angry eyes met
her calm ones. Then he lifted his hat
and walked rapidly away.
For several weeks the general as
sembly had been deadlocked over the
election of a United States senator.
There were ninety-three Republican
members and eighty-eight Demo
cratic ones. The Republicans Ead
nominated Sheriff. Vane The DeIue-
cratic candidate was James Brown.
AS the Republicans had majority of
five it was expected that their candi-
date would be elected ON the first
ballot. But when the Republicans
met in caucus and chose their candi-
date, FIVE of the younger members of
the party rebelled, refused to support
Sheriff. Vane and demanded the
election of George Allerton
Allerton had never been affiliated
with either party. He was the lead
ing lawyer of the state, man of In
corruptible honor and national fame
The five insurgents openly declared
their hostility to Sheriff. Vane, the
Republican candidate, and announced
that the deadlock would remain until
George Allerton was elected The
leader of the insurgents was Doane
Carter.
Around the insurgent band ragged
the political battle. The Republican
party used every weapon and every
strategy at their command to compel
the five to support the party candi
date. The Democrats fought as fierce
ly to win them for the Democratic
candidate Day after day for many
weeks the ballot remained the same:
Sheriff. Vane, So; James Brown, IS;
George Allerton, 5.

To Clean Waterproofs.

Never use hot water to clean a
macintosh. Dip the coat in soft wa
ter, then spread it on a table, and
scrub AL over with a small scrubbing
brush with a plentiful supply of good
yellow soap. When all the stains and
dirt have been removed dip the gar
merit in several fresh waters to rid it
OF all the soap.
If possible, dry the coat in the open
air; in any case, do not wiring it, and
take care not to hang it near the fire
unless you wish to ruin the water
proof. If you have a coat tree at hand
hang the garment on that while it is
drying.

Clean Bureau Drawers.

A woman noted for her careful
housekeeping has the inside of all her
bureau drawers painted white and
then treated with a coat of cream-col-
ored enamel
This, she declares, is more sanitary
than any lining pad could possibly be,
and when cleaning is necessary, all
that is required is to wipe them out
with a damp cloth.
Would it not be a good idea to treat
pantry and kitchen shelves in the
same manner, also cupboards and side
board drawers and shelves?
Perfect cleanliness would then be
assured

Church Refuses to Annul
Rospigliosi Marriage

The eleVen-year- struggle of Princess
Marie Rospigliosi, formerly Mrs. Fred
erick IL. Parkhurst, of Washington, to
have the Roman Catholic Church for
mally annul her first marriage, met
the third and probably final defeat
when the tribunal of the Rota in Rome
yesterday rejected the princess appeal.
Prince and Princess Rospigliosi were
united by a civil ceremony in Italy
In 1901.
The princess will be recalled in WASH
ington as Miss Mary Jennings Reid,
granddaughter of Capt. Samuel Chester
Reid, a famous naval officer. She was
born in New Orleans in 1870, and came
TO Washington when eighteen. Related
to the Rowan family of Kentucky on
her mothers side, brilliantly connected
on her fathers, and herself pretty
and attractive young woman, she be:
came a great belle here. From among
her suitors Miss Reid soon selected
Frederick II. Parkhurst. of Bangor,
Me. Mr.. Reid is a protestant, and a
dispensation was obtained for the mar
Iiage, which took place in St. Mat
thew's Church, in this city.
After four years the couple disagreed,
and a divorce followed. Three vain
efforts have been made to get the
church to declare an annulment of
the first nuptalS.
