PARIS CALLS FOR RED Hair.
And the Fashion Is for Real Brick Red.
Not Auburn.

New York,-Those women who
feel that one may as well be dead as
put of the fashion are need to exercise
considerable will power this spring.
For one thing, they simply must have
red hair to be In the fashion,; not dark
red or any compromise shade, but real
brick red. That is the judgment OF
Paris.
This vision, or nightmare, as you pre-
fer, of the styles that may descend
upon America next spring, or perhaps
even this winter, was described today
by Charles c.. Kurzman, who returned
from Paris on board the Cunard line
steamship Lusitania.
Paris. Mr.. Kurzman says, is the
most red headed city in the world.
There is a craze for red hair. Not the
shade that Titan loved nor the tint
politely called auburn, but the brick
shade. The outrage was first perpe-
trated on the stage, but is now seen
at all the Brazilian dances and in
the avenues n cafes.
And If she follows the rage in Paris,
the American woman must wear a
"corkscrew" skirt" 81 1t is called in
Paris having at tulle tunic constructed
over spiral ribs, like a winding stair
case.
Her waist will be cut very, very low
and will be precariously supported by
narrow shoulder straps.
She will wear bright green hair
combs, and her hair will be banged
and curled at the sides, like rams
horns.
She will be hobb!ed and her skirt will
he slashed and draped.
"The corkscrew skirt as the Pa
risians o to call the newest triumph
of the designers art, is all the rage at
dances in Paris, according to MI. Kurz-
1t has ribs like a corset, only it's
ribs are spiral instead OF vertical. 1t
is usually made of tulle and frequently
over a charmeuse skirt.

that the lawmakers are not In session

pened repeatedly with women's clothes.
Elaborate, hair dressing, Merry Widow
hats, velvet shoes were worn by the fash

mon, and the leaders discarded them for
something else.
1t was inevitable that the same phe-
nomenon should %occurNin connection with
the new dances. The New York smart
set was waiting for Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
to make the announcement. 1t came
Thursday night.
II won't nave any tangoing done in my

girl sisters. She married Waldorf
Astor after she had divorced her first
husband, Robert Gould Shaw, and they
have lived since their marriage at
Clivedon on the Thames.
Astor's seat in parliament is due
almost entirely to the energy and
determination of his young wife.

first time he was defeated. and would
have forsaken politics had it not been
for his wife's ambitions. She took a

Probably the most ambitious po-
litical hostess in London is Mrs. Lewis
Harcourt, who was formerly Mary

Is Education Too Costly?
From the New York Herald.

Discovery that enc young mans attend
ance at an American university represents
an outlay of SIC, 600 a year has raised the
question whether we are not suffering
from the high cost of education.
AS an exhibit the case of this young
man is interesting, but nothing more. His
case is not typical. nor does the money
he spends bear any important relationship
must go for high living and wholly need
less luxuries; certainly 1t does not repre-
sent tuition or other fees paid to the uni
versfty, which has the rather. question
able honor of his presence.
Real education Is worth all 1t costs. 1t
cannot be obtained for money alone, nor
in any college or university. Only the
groundwork. the foundation, can be laid
there. Education depends upon the char
acter of the superstructure butlded upon
this foundation, and that must come after
departure from "classic halls"
Education costs much-in time and hard
work. It makes no difference In the world
whether the foundation for it is laid at a
cost of $500 a year or at 50 times that
amount. All depends upon the man.

A Goat in a Studio.

Among other stories in the charm
ing "Reminiscences OF Augustus Saint
Gaudens'' by father and son is a con-
fession by the son. When he was a
boy in Cornish. he had a pet goat
which he had trained to play a butting
game. The goat would butt, Homer
would dodge, n then, to his great glee
the goat would butt the wrong thing or
the air. One day at dinner time, when
the studio barn was deserted, Homer
was playing this game. Beyond the
open barn door stood the wax model of
he Logan horse, waiting to be cast In
plaster" This time, when Homer
lodged, the goat butted the back of the
horse. But since it did not fall or
break, the relieved child thought it
wasn't hurt, and didn't tell. Before
any one noticed that 1.-The rear of the
animal was strangely askew.'' the
horse had been cast in plaster and the
enlargement begun. This meant the
loss of e. whole summers work-just
one more of the accidents and errors
that increased the "toughness Of the
Sculptor'S life"

The Skim-Milk Ace.

The cattle scarcity affects something

Of beef. 1t threatens the supply and use
of milk. In Boston. where there was an
appTeciable milk scarcity during the year

Where RE Is Shown at His Worst and
HIS Antics in Doing His Stunts.
The Dervishes as a tribe exist in
hundreds of thousands in all parts of
northern Africa, and many of them are
OF high caste and every devout. 1t is in
Egypt n Hindustan. however, that
the Dervish is seen at his worst. There
ne lives In a state of utter sdualor.
Some of the tribe spend their lives in
complete nakedness, their bodies
smeared with wood ash, their unkempt
hair twisted into a turban; some roll
head over heels for hundreds of miles:
some contemplate the tip OF their noses
from "a different pastures; some live
by the fraudulent sale of drugs or by
feats OF legerdeInain. In warfare they
are towards, fighting by treachery.
IN their religious customs the Der
wishes perform strong ceremonies,
which have led to certain castles being
known as h dancing Dervishes.
The act of a dancing Dervish is
supposed to carry him forward to the
ecstatic state in which the soul enters
the "Alem-t-misal," or world of dreams
n becomes one with God.
The dancing Deryishes stand In a
circle, shoulder to shoulder, each on
his right foot, and swaying the body
and the left leg backward and forward
or from side to side.
Each man then performs q ptrouette
on the left heel, the eyes being closed
n the arms ~outstretched. Next the
danees become more violent accom-
panied by the music OF the native flute
n tambourine, and by the cries Of
the dancers.
