A Court in Cairo Decides He Has a

Cairo.-A court In Cairo has decid-

cording to the Paris correspondent OF
The Journal Of the American Medical
Association. who writes:
Has a doctor the right to fees for

A court In Cairo presided over by a
French Judge recently passed on this
question. A doctor demanded $40

the claim was not legal because it was

Flower Trimmings.

Trimmings of flowers are much used
on dancing gowns. Sometimes the
low-cut neck is edged with small
wreath of rosebuds or other flowers.
and the same trimming idea is carried
out in the skirt. Occasionally the
flowers are put on the lining, so that
only glimpse can be had. This
is also very effective. Many dance
gowns are worn with fancy trimmed

CHAPTER XIV.
In Pursuit.

The four men, heavily armed, and
equipped for winter service, rode up
the bank of the ravine to the irregu-
larity of plain beyond. The trail, lead
ing directly south into the solitudes,
was easily followed, and WATSON,
slightly in advance of the others. made
no attempt to check his horse, content
to lean forward, his keen eyes mark
ing every sign Scarcely a word was
exchanged since Hamlin had explained
what had occurred as they crossed the
river Hardly less interested than the
Sergeant, the sober-faced scout con-
centrated every energy on the pursuit,
both men realizing the necessity of
haste. Not only would the trail be diff
ficult after they attained the sand belt,
but. If snow fell, would be utterly blot
ted out. And the dull, murky sky
threatened snow, the sharp wind hav-
niS already yeered to the northwest
All about stretched a dull, dead pic
ture of desolation, a dun-colored plain,
unrelieved by vegetation. matching
the skies above, extending IN every di-
rection through weary leagues of dis
NAL loneliness. The searching eye
caught no relief from desolate same
ness, drear monotony. Nowhere was
there movement or any semblance of
life. Behind, the land was broken by
ravines, but in every other direction
it stretched level to the horizon ex
cept that far off southwark arose ir-
regular ridges of sand, barren, ugly
blotches, colorless, and forever chang
ing formation under the beating of a
ceaseless wind. 1t was desert, across
which not even snake crawled, and
no wing of migrating bird beat the
leaden sky above.
The marks of their horses hoofs
cutting sharply into the soil, told accu
rately the fugitives rate OF progress,
and the pursuers swept forward with
caution, anxious to spare their mounts
and to keep out of vision themselves
until nightfall. Their success depend
ed largely on surprise, and the conf
dence of those ahead that they were
unpursued. WATSON expressed the sit
uation exactly, as the four halted

water-hole.

Dupont must be friendly with them,
and this coup has been planned for
some time. Last night was the chance

mistake in their plans has been the
early discovery because of Miss Mol

viduality by the collar and iabot,
which can reflect the new styles,
show handwork and give freshness in
either white or color at the top of the
blouse.
Twine-colored etamine is combined
with strawberry pink linen in a pretty
collar. This is a plain shape, but the
alliance of the two materials gives an
extremely smart effect. At the cor
ners are conventional roses embroid

the etamine are edged with pink linen

Pale blue linen is also seen, com

latter tucked and forming the upper

Another extremely popular model is

broidered on the edge OF the top col

shoulders, very shallow in front A
band of striped linen is set one inch
in from the edge, a ruf1le of linen fin

is of striped linen in the center and
narrow strips on each side trimmed
with pearl buttons and loops on SOU

to trim collar of sheer white linen

pointed top is of pink. with the color
carried out in embroidery in each
corner. A pleated white jabot drops
down from the center. The pointed
end is edged with pink and a line of
pink linen buttons trims the front.
Any color with white will carry out

DEER JOINS HE.2D OF HORSES
Hunter Says Albino Doe Was Boycott

Cast Out

Libby, Mont.-Henry Wegner spent
few days in Libby from his upper
Yakt ranch. He stated that pure
white deer had become associated with
his horses and had become so tame as
to follow his horses into the corral
each time they entered 1t. and was no
more wild than the horses.
Mr.. Wegner said it was a doe and
had pink eyes, so he had named it
"Albino." Old hunters here say that
on account of its freakish appearance
it had been driven away by other deer
and had become an outcast. and in
such cases the animal will always go

DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE
While Prevailing Styles May Be Fol-
lowed, individuality Is Always to
Be Considered.

There are some women who remain
true to the parting in the middle of
the hair, ! It the many prefer the part
ing on the side. The forehead is en-
tirely covered, as are the ears. and
there is no bulge anywhere over the
surface of the head The flatter the
better. This is the fashion. Every
individual must modify it to suit her
head and her face, for it is inartistic
and foolish to follow any fashion with
out regard to your personal appear
ance.
If a parting is not becoming, then
omit 1T and draw the hair softly
back If ones eyes are at their worst
with the hair brought down to the
eyebrows. then it must be lifted
The main mistake that nearly every
woman makes in arranging her hair
according TO the new fashion is in run
ming it down in bias line from the
middle of the forehead to the lobe
of the ear. IL was this line on each
side of the temples that contributed
to the hideousness of the 1865 couture.
Women who take the time and
trouble to study their faces never use
this line You will notice that they
make it as regular as though it were
carelessly scalloped across the brow
and temples They give 1t an inward
curve at the end of each eyebrow and
hen bring it out in front OF each ear.
This line is as old as art itself and
