Don't you know that the worst thing
in the world for an athlete IL to talk
to woman?"
That's the worst thing In the world
for anybody" said Willie, with cyni-
cism. But how can we stop it?"
Make him eat as well as sleep in
his training quarters; don't let him
spend any time whatever in female
company. Keep your eyes on him
night and day"
Willie spoke his mind deliberately

numbers of them on the promenade
that are worn over the face.
A hat especially good for southern
tourists, where more protection for the

chimes a panama hat is a good choice.

for travelling, and face all kinds OF
climate and weather, a hat made of
taffeta is ideal. Often silk is combined
with a straw or silk braid brim, and
oftener with brfm of hemp.
The trimming of this model consists
of several rather large, half-blown silk
roses. One is posed at the left side
on the brim at the base of the crown
and two others at the back on the UNI

When Sir Ralph Abercromby was
MORALLY wounded in the battle OF
Aboukir, he was carried on litter on
board the Foudroyant. To ease his
pain, a soldiers blanket was placed
under his head. He asked what Il

was told

this style successfully. Otherwise the
hair is to be parted Off and combed

several ways. The curling iron meth

comfortable. 1t viii not hurt the hair

good method is that of rolling strands

Now, get me right" explained the
former speaker. He breaks train.n',

"Playin' what?" queried Slower.
'Diabolo He backs himself, of

Glass took an imaginary spool from
his pocket, spun 1t by means of an
imaginary string, then sent it aloft and
pretended to catch it dexterously. The

was purple.
"Surei" Glass winked at him, glad
to see that the Californian enjoyed
this kind of sport.

the man in spectacles, seriously. And
we wouldn't hold his croquet habits

THE soft rather high crowned tur-

milton of spring modes In it. First, 1t
is considerably taller than the average
turban. and it Is not brought quite SO
far down over the head. The crown
is round, but made SO by draping not

may credit rumors, will be followed
In the early spring by even taller dec

There Is wreath of standing fancy
feathers almost concealed by the
draping about the crown, and little
bouquet of small flowers at the side,
set fat against the velvet, near the

Foss. because they could not pay the
small fines imposed upon them for infrac-
tions OF the laws. mostly those concern
ing inebriety.
The Righteousness Of this disclosure
consists in the fact that while a Jail
term may sober UP a drunkard, il pre-
vents him from earning either his fine
or the support OF his family during his
personal incarceration-for which the
state pays-while his family may starve
n the meantime
1t may bell be asked. Why lock a man
up for not paying a fine without first
giving him a chance to earn IT? Or if he
must be sent TO Jail why not make him
earn his fine and help support his family

able-bodied man and legally debar him

From The Rochester Democrat and Chronicie.
A woman who is prominent In the So

her opinion that IT is coming to be con-
sidered a great mistake for women TO
color their hair and paint their faces. She
tells of an experience she had with an
other woman who had applied TO her for

AS a result the woman who applied for

who tries to make herself looh more
youthful by artificial means. The bleach

tile lips that weird carmine color, which
youth and health were never known to
