move his gaze from the swarthy man.
He pulled himself together with an ef-
fort, however, undertaking to divert
the present trend of the conversation.

asked, pleasantly, more to make con-
versation than from any lingering
question as to the precise location.

overcoat buttoned up to his chin. He
was rather anxious to know what time
it was, but he was too lazy to open his
coat in order to get at his watch. Just
then he saw al well-dressed man ap-
preaching and remarked to himself:
This is a cinch. I'll cen ask yon
genteel stranger what time it is and he
will unbosom."
He perceived that the stranger was
buttoned up just as he was. When he
came up the man who wanted to know
the time removed his hat politely and
said: "Sir. do you know what time
it isl"
The stranger paused, removed his
right glove, unbuttoned his coat from
top to bottom, unbuttoned his under
coat, and finally pulled out his watch,
while the chill wind cut into his unpro-
tected chest. Holding up the watch so
that the light would shine upon its
face for an instant he glanced at It
and groWled:
"Yes!"

In January, 1856, Mrs. Charles Moul-

tells her experience in her book In
the Courts of Memory" She describes
the singer as neither handsome nor
distinguished looking; in fact, quite
the contrary plain features, a pert
nose, sallow skin and very yello"
hair" Jenny Lind asked Mrs. Moulton
to visit her the following day, and she
did So I wish you could have seen
her, She was dressed in a white

silk around the bottom, red, blousy

Verdi and all he has made: she hated
Rossini and all he had made; she

NOW that the high coiffure is certain
~ of success, hairdressers are evolv-
ing many attractive arrangements,
each making its bid for popular favor.
1t is certain a new order of things is
coming. There is to be more elab-
Grafton in styles for the coming season
than for year past, more pretty
curls and ringlets about the face, and
the return to a modest pompadour at
the front. This is something to be
thankful for because it is immensely
becoming to most women.
The simpler, the very plain, styles
are we'll enough for youthful wearers.
But older women require more intri-
cate designs. The new high coiffures
are stately and a great advantage to
them. Little variations adapt them to
youthful wearers-like the puff extend
ing out at each side and covering the
ears.
In all the new styles shown so far
the ears are concealed, as in those
worn during the past season. There
are several pretty new arrangements
of the hair both at the front and back
to choose from. That showing the
Psyche knot at the crown of the head
or little higher has been most quick
ly adopted, perhaps because this
style is always good and never quite
disappears.
In the style shown here the hair
about the forehead is curled in short
ringlets. Below these on each side a

SYNOPSIS.

strand is parted off and rolled into a
puff. All the remainder of the hair
| is brought up to the top of the head,
except that portion parted off at the
front to cover the pompadour. A
small hair roll or support will be
needed for the pompadour.
When the back hair is brought up
coiled loosely and pinned into position,
the short hair roll is pinned in across
the top of the head. The ends of the
hair which are brought over the POM
padour are fastened under the coil
at the top of the head. They then are
brought down at each side and turned
back near the temples and above the
puffs which cover the ears.
A short fringe of hair about the face
is curled and parted at the middle.
When the hair is not long or thick
enough it will be necessary to use a
small switch to form the coil at the
top of the head
Very little wave appears in this
coiffure, although there are models in
which long, loose wave is en-
ployed. But the waving of the natural
hair is very natural looking, just
enough to keep it from being quite
straight and about like that which ap-
pears in the short switch shown here.
A switch of this kind may be used
for many different styles and arranged
in a braid or chignon or coil. 1t is
the easiest of pieces to adjust.

must be disposed of. 1t hangs straight
from the belt and is split at the bot
tom of the right side for depth Of
II inches. There is a little drapery
in the skirt formed by an extension
of the goods, which is gathered into a
fan and overlaps the seam where the
skirt is slit. This overlap is lined
with the voile and held in place by
a buckle made of buckram and cover
ed with velvet or silk in the same
green as appears in the gown.
The kimono waist is fastened in
surplice style. tapping from right to
left at the front. The waist line is
high, curving slightly upward at the
back
A finish of silk or velvet ribbon in
green two inches wide is all the dec
Grafton needed except the introduc-
tion of bit of colored passementerie
or embroidery at the front of the bod
ice. This adds a bit of color in
coral, blue brown and green, with a
little touch Of gold. A half yard is
enough to provide this finish in the
bodice, both at the back and front
To make such a gown in material a
yard wide takes only four yards at
most The skirt is narrow, with lit
tie drapery. The slip of null re-
quires about the same amount or a
trifie less. Twice the length of the
figure is the allowance. This pro-
vides for hem at the bottom.
AS these voiles and challies are to
be had for from 40 to rs cents a yard,
it will be seen the outlay for mate
rial is modest. The mercerized mulls
are not more than 25 cents a yard.
Allowing Is to 25 cents yard for the
ribbon finish, and counting in the price
of the bit of embroidery needed, all
the materials required come within
S.. BY watching annual or special
sales even this small sum may be re-
duced little.
Such a dress is good summer and
winter. 1t may be developed in all
the light and attractive colors that are
fashionable for dressy wear, as we'll
as in darker tones like those chosen
for the gown pictured here.
For women who must hire the sew
ing done the expense will mount up
to double the price Of the material.
But anyone who can sew fa1rly well
should be able to put together a sim
pie affair of this kind.

And with her little hand she softly

She told him she was sure he'd some day

had been honored with a sculpture

by a dome-topped marble kiosk. Num-
shi Raghunath Sahai said that the
dog had been loved for his extreme
obedience, and there was a tale of
some gold bangle lost in the famous
royal billiard room and restored by
the dog to despairing owner. 1t
