TT ID said that French women can
j carry OF" extremes Of style grace
fully that are quite impossible to other
women. But the French insist that
Americans are favored with the same
gift. Whatever may be our opinion OF
the French talent for clothes, we will
concede that the women manage their
coiffures with fine effect. Here is a
group of three, dressed to suit the in
dividuals and to be worn with eve
ming dress. Each one shows the beau
ty Of carefulness, at least, and some
originality of treatment.
At the top a simple style shows the
hair waved only about the face. 1t is
plain over the crown Of the head and
combed to the nape of the neck. There
Is wide, loose and very soft braid
made of wavy hair extending all about
the head. An ornament made Of pearl
beads follows the line Of the braid and
holds the hair about the face neatly In
place.
Such couture is an excellent model
for women whose heads are not as
shapely as they could wish.
The couture shown at the left Is
good selection for one who is forced
to help out scant supply of thin hail
with well-made piece that can be

pinned on. The natural hair Is waved
and combed back to the nape of the
neck. Here 1t is coiled or the ends
are turned under and fastened in with
fancy comb in the new mode. The
entire front effect is made by pin
ming on a ready-dressed piece made
with a short light fringe over the fore
head.
Milady's own hair is waved and
dressed as shown in the third couture.
A small fiat pad supports the hair at
the back. The waving is very loose
and the hair, parted little at one
side and fluffed. sweeps backward and
over the pad All the ends are brought
together in the new mode. at the right
side and pinned in with long shell
comb.
Women are, rather reluctantly,
adopting the high hair dress, but with
one accord apparently taking to waved
hair.
One should not lose sight Of the
value of individuality in the matter or
the couture. 1t is as desirable as va
riety. An occasional change of styles
pleases everyone, for in hair-dressing.
as in other things, variety is the spice
of life.

IN those alluring shop windows along
! the boulevards, gayly Powered vests
and brilliant ribbon girdles promise
another colorful springtime. Clothes
are to be cheerful. Colors are not so
strong and primitive as those of last
year, but richer and quite as vivid.
And they are combined with the cum
ming Of the Orient, to which many
makers of things fashionable are look
ing for inspiration.
1t Is in accessories Of dress that
the woman Of good taste will find
opportunity to indulge her love of
color. The small vests, coates, Cir

bons or piece goods are little touches
OF splendor, to be added to gowns OF
plain colors or white. Little coats
Of lowered crepe de chine, challi
and similar fabrics are the smartest
Of conceptions and just in the mode.
They are destined to thrive for at
least one successful season.
Nearly all the vests are made OF
brocaded or figured ribbons. A few

Rose color, old blue, pea green, ma

In Roman stripes and in plaids, strong
reds, blues, greens, with black and

predominating as a rule.
No woman who goes a-traveling
need be told how useful these girdles,

BOOK III.
CHAPTER II.-continued.


BY which episode 1t may be seen
that Tom Phinney of the Powhatan.
and Captain Phinney of the yacht
Kohinur, were two distinctly different
personalities detail worth remem-
bering in the light of what Is to follow
later on.
When Tom swung aboard at the
head of his recruits, his appraising
eye took In at once the decks untidy
appearance, the indolent attitudes OF
the watch and the men forward, and in
the face of so many evidences Of lax
discipline he utterly ignored Brown
lows demonstrations of JOY at his ap-
pearance. He addressed his mate:
"Will you look at this canal-barge,
Mr.. Mercer? Put those loafere to work
at once, and make 'em jump. Charter

ashamed to look him in the face IL l

10 It to be wondered at that for the
rest of the night Tom remained In
etate Of such feverish excitement that
he forgot to sleep? Here, in the most
amazing manner imaginable, he and
the Girl once more we're thrown to-
gether-and, too, under circumstances
that not only promised the most de-
lightful sort of intimacy. but were not
likely soon to be terminated. An un-
wonted light shone in his eyes, and his
tanned jaw settled Into lines Of deter
mination that were not without de-
gree of grimness.
Whats the use!" he morosely
growled. She'll have nothing to do
with me. / made seventeen different
kinds of fool Of myself Monday night
when she got me out of that dark
room. Unless she realizes
that scrape like that is enough to
turn any fellows head
And this led him to Illuminating on
the strangeness of his adventure, and
to a consideration of the rest of the
party, which he INDUCED briefly only
because he remembered how inexplic-
ably their doipgs had become identi-
fed with Miss Carew's disappearance
for undoubtedly they were the same
people who had inhabited Number 1913
and how greatly Ruddy was inter-
ested In their movements. This reflec-
| ton sobered him completely.
| Should he not at once notify Mr..
Flint? Did the allegiance he had only
today assumed outweigh the obliga-
tions of a lifelong friendship?
Here was a problem that was lit
tie too much for Tom to decide off,
hand, and he began to be conscious of
| vague, growing sense of doubt and
misgiving. He began to perceive the
possibility of future complications that
would keep him floundering helplessly
in all sorts of predicaments; either in
reference or non-interference by him
might be the occasion for any amount
of future regret and lasting remorse
and mental suffering, but he had ar
rived at the decision before turning
in, that, considering everything, he
should be filled with sense of graft
tude for the fortuitous chance that
had moved him to cau on Brownlow.
Captain Phinney was again astir
long before sunrise. He took 1t upon
himself to see that the decks had such
a scrubbing down, the brasswork and
glass such polishing, as, In all prob
ability. they had never before received.
He had himself well In hand now, and
every man-jack aboard recognized In

done. skipper who thoroughly under
