ultrapicturesque crowns.
Fashion Found Favor.
This may be what the French call
"du potin"-which means gossip-or it
may be true Certain it is that pow
dered heads have become the fashion
and the coiffeur in question has more
work than he can execute. 1t would
not be the first time that trick of
this kind has been played upon the
public, but in this case every one, at
least every pretty woman, has cause
for thankfulness. Powdered hair, as
understood in Paris, is almost uni
versally becoming.
A sketch of the mode in evening
headdress is given. This headdress
was seen at a Spanish concert recent
ly given at the Theater des Champs
Elysees in Paris. All the prominent
members of the Spanish colony were
present and the King was represented
by the Spanish ambassador, who oc-
cupied box with notable, French
general the latter representing the
president.
Spanish women are extremely fond
of dress, especially of dainty and pic
turesque gowns. Their dark eyes and
splendid hair give them an opportuni-
ty of looking attractive from the pain
ter's point of view and they do not
hesitate to adopt the most picturesque
styles. At this particular concert
some of the headdreSSeS were admir-
ably becoming, -
Several society leaders from Madrid
wore the historic Spanish combs, made
of carved tortoise shell,H and these
combs were used to support the
masses of hair which fashion now de-
clares must be arranged high at the
back of the head.
CurIs Found Effective.
The hair is drawn away from the
face. but at the sides there are the
fascinating little curls which the Par
slams have named "accroche-coeurs. -
This name is eloquent and. easily IN
derstood, for these fascinating: little
side curls are well suited for the bust
ness of catching hearts. =
There is another style Of evening
dress also in favor with the. Pari-
siennes. The hair is again drawn up
high on the head but folded band OF
supple silver tissue is introduced and
this band is bordered with PASTE. lit
tie circles of paste finishing it off at
either side. In addition to this a
curved black mount was arranged in
the hair at one SIDE ~.
1t becomes more and more the fash
ion in Paris to leave the forehead bare
and this style can be traced back di.
rectly to the advent of powdered
heads. It IS rather curious to note
that bare foreheads give an air of
youth to almost all faces; this is spe
eially the case when the little &C,
Ameer Opposes Liberalism.
Habibuilah Khan, who is the ameer
of Afghanistan, is reported to have re-
peated his feat Of blowing from the
mouth Of the cannon a number of men
who had conspired to assassinate him.
Apparently the ameer is having diff
Guilty in maintaining the medieval as
pect of his country and in keeping
himself on the throne, for about two
years ago he executed the same VEN
geance upon 16 members of the reform
party. In July of 1912 the ameer
granted an interview to a representa-
tive of the press, who described the
prince as a handsome man, cultured
and liberal minded and possessing a
very good knowledge of the English
language, but, nevertheless, afraid of
the liberal party. In the course of that
interview the potentate told how he
had punished some of his young men
who had studied in India and who had
formed a committee of young At
ghans" after returning to their native
country. He shot them from the can
mons mouth. He remarked that he
was not opposed to a constitutional
form Of government, but he felt that
