than reasonable as there was a
crowd of good looking girls repre-

Last season it averaged twenty-one

The straw and head is a very dark

is stiff and stronger, the head is

of fine color, very plump and de-

AFTER The SHYLOCKS
st. Louis Grand jury Is Investigating
Methods of Money Lenders.

St. Louis, Oct. 1.-THE St Louis
grand jury today resumed inquiry into
the practices of uSuriOuS money lend
ers against whom evidence has been
unearthed by the legal aid society of
the local bar association. Indictments
are expected against three money
lenders. The grand jury will investi-
gate a story that a money lender af-
ter collecting $1,000 on loan of $500,
seized property belonging to the debt
or and after selling it for 1896 kept
S275 on the ground that the borrower
still owed that much. 1t is charged
that in this case the money lender was
guilty of larceny in taking possession
of goods without legal process.
The prosecuting witness in this case
is widow, who says that her husband
left her a small business. She told the
investigating attorney the money lend
er bribed the manager of her business
to help him confiscate the stock and
fixtures.
Evidence will be presented to the
grand jury against a money lender,
who, it is said, hired a gang of ne
groes to strip a house of its furniture
to satisfy a claim. Evidence also will
be presented against a justice of the
peace who after rendering judgment
changed his court document to make
the Judgment apply also to the wife
of the defendant. The judgment was
for the replevin of furniture which
was in the Wife'S name.

He wanted TO bury the box in the

the box of heavy brass did not sink
as he east it from the end of the piers.
He found he could not get it again,
and told one Of the workmen of the
pier to look out for it in case it
washed ashore, and offered a reward
Of SO for its return TO him.
Haffa told Chief Of Police Woodruff
that the body had been exhumed from

years, and was cremated last Tuesday.
He took the box back to Philadelphia

Father Hartman was compelled to
give up his explorations by severe
weather, until next spring, but made
a survey OF so miles of ruins and
rock inscriptions, extending from the
present Mexican village Of Pinos
Wells to the Canyon Pintada in q
region that is desolate and uninhabit-
ed, and touched only at long intervals
by sheep herders-
The ruins OF the villages and com

covered the sites and hides the ruins,
the cities are a thousand and more

white hair, such hair as one sees at
a fancy dress ball. The powdered hair
now SO fashionable in Paris is, as
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 a special
style of dress 1t cannot be worn; sue
cessfully, with lust anything"
In the evening these difficulties dis

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 brilliant red fox skin, in
the shape of a fat tie
Skins or the ordinary rel fox looked
all right when adopted al an eccen-
liz AoO' OJ OASI women,
in conjunction with fragile summer
dresses; they look hopelessIy common
when adopted as a regular winter fur
and worn with handsome tailored
suits of cloth and velvet Neverthe-
less, the red-foxrage is apparently in
healthy condition. It seems likely
to last all through the winter. And
the pity of it 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 arts
tic jewellers of Paris are past masters
at 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 combs
are accompanied by an elaborate clasp
which is worn at the breast or is used
to fasten the wide sash, at one side.
