white hair, such hair as one sees at
fancy dress ball. The powdered hair
now SO fashionable in Paris is, as a
rule. quite dark in parts. 1t is obvious
ly powdered at the sides and In front.
The great drawback to this fashion
is this: Powdered hair makes con
siderable demands upon ones toilet,
and upon ones personality. generally.
1t seems to silently call for special
style Of dress. 1t cannot be worn, sue
cessfully, with lust anything"

ly. with powder.
AS to the second fad" what can
be said? Red fox skins have become
ubiquitous in Paris. All through last
summer, and autumn, the most ex-
elusive Partisan beauties were making
sensational successes in white linen
and satin seaside costumes, accom-
panied by a brilliant red fox skin, in
the shape of fiat tie.
Skins or the ordinary red fox looked
all right when adopted as an eccen-
trio fad" by ultra smart women, and
in conjunction with fragile summer
dresses; they look hopelessly common
when adopted as regular winter fur
and worn with handsome tailored
suits Of cloth and velvet. Neverthe-
less, the red-fox-rage Is apparently in
a healthy condition. 1t seems likely
to last all through the winter. And
the pity of 1t is that already the shop
windows are filled with imitation red
fox skins, worthless furs which have
no meaning and which would make
any costume look ordinary. This was,
Of course. inevitable. but it is never
theless deplorable.
The newest combs are large and
fiat, tand the correct thing is to wear
them at the back of the head. low
down. In Greek style. Some of these
combs are of rare beauty. The artis-
tic jewellers OF Paris are past masters
sat work of this kind, and the most
wonderful things are done with cary
ed jade. inset with precious stones,
and with transparent horn incrusted
with diamonds and traced over with
gold.
Sometimes these beautiful co1abs
are accompanied by an elaborate clasp
which is worn at the breast or is used
to fasten the wide sash, at one side.

| W" shaped piece of the material.
There is a plating of lace about the
throat and small ribbon decoration at
the right side by way Of garniture. q
short satin girdle of plated ribbon
fastens with hooks and eyes at the
left side under extremely small made
ornaments.
The hat is of hatter's plush, with
facing OF velvet in black. The para
disc wreath in shaded flame color
gives brilliance and distinction to the
entire toilette.
1t will be noticed that the long
gloves are glace kid in black. They
make the arms look very slender ana
reduce the apparent size of all hands
remarkably. Very thin women should
not wear them. High surfaced black
is not for them. The sleeves are fin
ished with band of satin.
To study this costume is more con-
vincing than describing it to show
that it has been carefully thought out
as adapted to the full figure.
The narrow dropping brim of the
hat makes the most of the length OF
the neck. since it does not conceal it..
The feather swirl is light, following
the brim line almost exactly. The
shape Is extremely graceful
1t is by such careful thinking out
and management of line that grace is
arrived at. Developed in black or
grey or mauve or taupe, this is a
good model, but for the purpose of re-
ducing the apparent size of the figure
black is the best choice.

basque is long, sloping down toward
the back. 1t Is unfinished except for
the sewing at the bottom Thus the
long line of the figure is not broken
by the separate coat. 1t is noticeable
that all the lines of the coat tend to
preserve length of line. in the figure.
The skirt is fuller than the average,
with the effect Of being double skirt
at the front. 1t is cut wide enough to
allow it to be caught up in plaits at
the left knee under soft rosette of
chiffon. A piece is let in at the front,
but the split or overlapping breadth
Is absent and there is worn enough

Arthur Lockard.

Mrs. F. johnson on Tuesday
evening received. a message from
st. Louis containing the sad in.
telligence of the death in that
city of her son, Arthur Lockard.
The message stated that he had
expired very suddenly about five
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Lockard had been ill with
pleurisy recently and it seems
his sudden death was due to
heart failure following this dis
ease.
Arthur Lockard was the only
son of Mrs. Fletcher Johnson
and was born and reared in Lee
county. His boyhood was spent
in Tupelo where he grew to be
a highly esteemed young man. He
went in the telegraph department
of the railroad company here and
later moved west. Several years
ago he was married to a Nilsson
ri lady, and since that time has
lived in Memphis and St. Louis.
At the time of his death he was
engaged in business in St. Louis.
Deceased leaves his wife and
mother and one sister, Mrs. Nor
timer Clopton, and many friends
to mourn his untimely death.
Mrs. Johnson left Wednesday
morning for St. Louis. At the
time of going to press the funer-
al arrangements had not been
completed.
