LONDON, Jan. 24.-Colored and also
pure white tresses are gaining a Ger
tain vogue for evening wear. Inc
fashion started in Paris, and was IN
troduced to London very tentatively
In September. Nothing much came
of it until, at the recent Picture Ban
at the Albert Hall, one lady appeared
with deep indigo hair and another
with mauve curls encircling her fore
head. At the recent Arabian Nights
ball one Of the dancers wore green
hair, and white has been worn on
in modern costume, the wearers being
in modren costume. OF course, In
each case the hair has been in the
nature of a wig.
NJ. Vasco, of Dover street, an ex-
ponent of the fashion, said: II think
the new idea should make It's way
We have as many as from Is to 20
inquiries q day concerning 1t. think
white hair will most certainly become
more general for evening wear. We
are introducing a new white not yet
seen in wigs.
"As for colored hair. you can OBJ

q shade of emerald green, and an
other of SAKE blue, which will set off

PARIS, Jan. 24.-President Wilson's
problem of finding Democrat who is
both sufficiently wealthy and well
versed in state affairs to justify his
appointment to the Paris Embassy is
rendered more difficult by the an
nouncement cabled to America this
week that Ambassador Merrick's res
idence at No. Rue Francois Pre-
mier has changed title and will be
occupied by the new owner when Mr..
Herrick's lease expires.
The leading real estate men of
Paris say that the next Ambassador,
IL he is DESTROYS of living in the same
s25, 900 yearly rental or about double
that paid by Mr.. Herrick.
Donald Harper, the Franco-Ameri-
can lawyer. who was himself men
toned last year as a possible sue
cessor to Mr.. Herrick, in discussing
the situation said to-day:
Under present conditions no man
can hope to represent the United
States here worthily who is not pre-
pared to spend 100000 yearly out of
his own pocket for the honor and
prestige which the position gives him.
when Ambassador Herrick first
arrived in France he spent about
100000 on furniture and 1 have no
idea that he intends to give it to his
successor as q present.
Straw matched pine chairs are
lovely amid certain surroundings, but
they won't do in Paris in the year
1914. Jeffersonian simplicity was a
grand thing for Benjamin Franklin,
as an Ambassador, but If the new
Ambassador thinks he can come to
Paris and ignore the manner in which
his predecessors lived he will not
stay long.
The Herricks, whose entertain
ments were markedly handsome, but
dgnifiedly unostentatious, spent
100000 yearly, and Robert Bacon did
not spend less when he was Ambas-
sador Mr.. Bacon told me in Wash
ington recently that the Government
ought to own its own embassies
abroad and compel the Ambassadors,
rich and poor. to live in them. He
Is right"
