TITLE girls are privileged to wear
IL their hair in ringlets or ripples or
bobbed of short. And they may have
it braided in neat and shining strands
and still be ~fashionably dressed as to
their heads. And at the front the hair
may be trimmed across the forehead
in a bang or parted In the middle or
at n side. No one style has been
adopted as better than another, but
there is a growing fondness for old
fashioned curls such as the little
daughters of colonial danes wore with
such demure pride.
But however the mother may de-
termine to dispose OF the matter Of
dressing her darling's head, one thing
is certain, ribbons Of some sort will be
introduced In the scheme to the Joy
OF the wearer and every one within
sight Of her. Plain wide taffeta holds
first place in popular favor for hair
bows and Is not likely to be displaced.
It is crisp, with a crispness that re-
mains, and made in every color of the
rainbow and many more.
Two arrangements OF ribbon bows
are shown in the picture. The bow at
the left is made of ribbon, six or more
inches in width, tied in a pair of loops
and two ends; that is In the simplest

I almost plain about the hips, and all
the lines made by frills and Jennings
extend straight around the figure, less
ening its height. No natural curves of
the body are followed, and in fact the
body is encased in the skirt instead Of
being draped with it. The design is
suited to a slender figure of medium
height. 1t would be grotesque on a
short, plump figure and awkward on
a tall, slim figure.
The yoke with side plated skirt at.
tached has been worked up quite sue
cessfully by making it an overskirt
finished with a frill at the bottom,
falling over a plain skirt. The over
skirt is weighted a little and slopes
downward toward the back. The un-
derskirt Is full enough to admit of
freedom in walking.
One of those hats with fat, flaring
brim mounted over the side of a crown
is faced with chiffon which extends be-
yond the edge of the brim In a frill.
The bandeau is covered with rib
bon finished with a small bow at the
right side. The plateau is of straw
braid and trimmed with a wreath Of
small flowers in vivid colorings. 1t is
a smart and attractive model.
Plaid and figured taffeta ribbon play
a very important part in the con-
struction of gowns and wraps. They
are formed into founces, edging wraps
shaped like short capes and other
suggestions of the dolman of days

FOLLOWS HIS WIFE TO GRAVE
Aged Philadelphia Couple Are Sepa-
rated Only Two Days by
Death.

Philadelphia.--Mrs. Frances A. Ken
nedy. seventy-six years old, died on a
Friday afternoon at her home, 1888
South Second street. Her husband,
John Kennedy, died on the following
Sunday at Don He was s~eventy-five
years old. For months Mr.. Kennedy
had been Ill, but, unknown to his wife,
his malady was cancer. BY accident a
few weeks ago the news came, and
since that time she was seen to fail
and slowly die from a broken heart.
The couple occupied separate beds
in the same room, and when the wife
died her side of the room was screened
off and the body removed while friends
kept the husband busy In c~onvefsa-
ton. He died without knowledge Of
his wife's death. For years they had
made their home with DR.. John j.

OF bows and known as the Alsatian
bow, It fastens in a strand of wavy
hair at the left side and its business is
to be purely ornamental.
At the right, the hair is braided in
two smooth braids, starting at the
nape Of the neck. They are wound
with small strands of hair at the
ends and wrapped about the head.
The ribbon is in one length. One end
Is tied about the braids at the left
side In a bow showing two loops and a
short, slanted end. The ribbon is
brought over the top of the head and
tied in the same sort of bow at the
right side. The braids are actually tied
together by the ribbon.
This style is neat and substantial,
and Is said to encourage the growth of
the hair.

"A Philadelphia debutante, provided
with a beautiful wardrobe in which the
slit skirt in its most exaggerated form
figured extensively, spent the winter
at Palm Beach.
One morning, in her white serge
gown from Cabot, slit almost to the
knee, she was leaving her hotel for the
beach when her sister called her back
and said:
"'oh, Mary, you've got a big black
smudge on your nose!'
With an Indifferent toss Of her
head the debutante answered:
What difference does that make?
Nobody eve looks at my face when
I've got on one of my slit skirts"

Poor Consolation.

A vicar and his church warden were
playing a round of golf. The man of
the cloth was completely Off his game,
and after foozling most of his shots
and suffering from the disadvantage
of being unable to use the common
expletives which give comfort to the
ordinary golfer, he gave up in dispair.
Cheer up, my friend consoled the
layman. There's one thing-you'll
get your own back when you have to
bury me-"

gloomy reply of the vicar, but even
then it will be your hole."-London

Old Buildings Eagerly Sought by
American Tourists Are Being Re-

Modern Structures.

London.-Stll more ancient land
marks, dear to Londoners and inter
esting to tourists, are TO disappear.
A few weeks ago it was stated that
as London had suffered a year ago
because so little was done to attract
American tourists to London during
the season, an effort was TO be made
to keep them longer during the forth
coming season, and this is the way it
is being done.
What, with the closing of all places
of interest owing to the growing dan
ger of suffragette outrages and the
demolishing Of old buildings, there will
soon be hardly anything in London
worth seeing By tourists.
Great indignation has been aroused
by the news that the Old Ship Inn,
which stands on the Mall, near Ham
mersmith Bridge, is to be destroyed.
This is one of the ~best-known land
marks on the famous course between
Putney, and Mortlake, but the licens-
ing magistrates have ordered the ex-
tinction of the license on the ground
of redundancy.
The original Old Ship was built on
the site Of the present building near
ly 300 years ago. Part of the old
structure still remains, in the form
of a very fine portico of red brick.
This is a subject of great interest to
antiquarians, for 1t is one of the old
est examples of brickwork in the
neighhorhopd.
During the latter half of the last
century there jutted out from the
frontage of the house the original
Hammersmith pier, which was served
by the penny steamboats," that piled
up and down the river. A private ter
ace leads from the house to the wa.
ter's edge, and from this a magnificent
view of the inter-university boat race
can be obtained.
On a fine morning the outlook is
charming. Old Chiswick church stands
in the foreground, while in the dis
lance are the hills of Richmond.
IF this building" said the landlord
of the Old Ship, lis demolished, it
will no doubt be replaced by a factory

DISTINCTLY in the new French
~ mode, this gown exemplifies how
far 1t has departed from the clinging
fabrics and long lines that have pre-.
vailed through many seasons. Com
parsons are odious, but, like the
Athenians, the moderns are always
looking for something new, and hence
the new modes. Some of them are
destined to die an early death and
the best that can be said of many of
them Is that they furnish a cue to
designers who take them up and i'm
prove upon them.
In the gown pictured the employ
ment of wide, plaid ribbon in bodice
and skirt is a feature that is destined
to live. The easy and comfortable
adjustment of the bodice, and its use
fulness for outdoor wear, are commend
able. 1t answers the purpose of a
little coat, finished with a standing
frill Of double taffeta about the neck
and sleeves, and the suggestion of a
basque in the narrow frill about the
waist.
The plaid ribbon forms a yoke
slightly full about the waistline, to
which the lower part of the skirt is
sewed. The seam shows a piping in
the ribbon. Except for the yoke the
skirt is made Of taffeta laid in mar

double frill of taffeta about the bot
