A LII sorts of fancy shell combs, or
n namental hairpins, hair bands and
small barettes, bespeak the return to
favor of more elaborate styles in hair
dressing. The combs are shaped in
so many different ways and made in
so many different sizes that one con-
cludes they are fashioned to be worn
in any position on the head which
suits the fancy.
A great variety in shell combs, pins
and ornaments are set with rhine
stones and sparkling colored stones.
The combs and other ornaments are
shown in tortoise colorings, amber,
black, white, and gray. Besides white
rhinestones there are settings in en-
erald, amethyst, garnet and topaz
colors.
A popular comb, of which an exam
pie is shown in the picture, is made
to wear when the hair is done in
a French coil. 1t is long and the teeth
are Joined to a band which is some
times narrower at n end than at the
other, and sometimes pointed at the
ends. This comb may be had with
the teeth hinged on so that it can be
adjusted to the head in different po-
sitions. A single 10Y of stones, or a
row extending all around the edge of
the band, gives a pretty sparkle to
this comb. Often the band is entirely
e~ncrusted with stones. This more
than doubles the price of the comb
without adding much to its attrac-
ton.
A very popular large shell pin is
shown In the picture. One or two of
these pins is thrust in the hair at
the sides when it is coiled low. Or
a pair is sometimes seen in a long
French coil.

A LONG and ample cape of black
"A satin, lined with satin in a con-
trasting color, and interlined for addi-
tional warmth, develops a new idea in
treatment of the neck. Here a wide
ruff, like the body of the cape, makes
an attractive finish and a protection
for the throat at the same time. The
plating for the ruff is graduated in
width, growing narrower from the
sides toward the front. But it is suffi-
GENTLY wide to enfold the back of the
head, the ears and the throat when
the cape is fastened in the front.
A long ~silk-covered cord extends
about the base of the ruff, terminating
in two cabochons (made of the cord)
one at each side. Long ends termi-
mating in heavy silk tassels fall from
the center of each of these silk orna-
ments.
A narrow ruching made of satin like
that in the lining outlines the hem
on the inside of the cape all around.
1t is a dainty finish, handmade and
elegant.
This is one of the longest of capes
and n of the few intended solely
for evening or other dressy wear.

SEES ADVANTAGE OF TREES
Alabama City Is Going About the
Work Of BeautIfyine in a Sci
entific Manner.

One of the attractive features OF
Birmingham is found in its trees.
Many years ago arboriculture received
the attention of the authorities in GER
tain of the northern cities. Ornamen-
tai trees for parks and streets we're
planted and nurtured under lei
trained both in arboriculture and land
scape engineering. The results have
been manifold, and the outlay Of
money was nothing when compared
with the benefits obtained.
But N the South a~rboriculture has
been appraised at its true value only
in recent years. Some of the old
southern cities were famed for their
wide-sweeping oaks and elms, but ma
ture had been bountiful in providing
those things that were beautiful.
Nevertheless, the man who has made
a study of trees in relation to the city
beautiful idea has work to do in the
outrageous even Of stately
old towns like Tuscaloosa and Savan-
nah. In the larger cities and especial

come a necessity.
Before science was so generally in
vogue Birmingham was fortunate in
making a good start in tree planting,
but we can now do better. The city
commission has turned over the ar
Horticultural side of ~Birmingham's ac-
t~ivities to the engineering department.
Maury Nicholson, chief assistant to
Engineer Kendrick, acts as the super
intendent of parks and Fairgrounds
and that position brings him directly
IN charge of tree planting. Mr.. Nichol-
son is not only thoroughly equipped
for this work, but he is an enthusiast.
Every man and every m in Bir-
mingham who desires to add to the
attractiveness of the city by planting
trees will always have a patient and
a sympathetic hearing from him.

Why Darts Penetrate.

The steel darts which are being
dropped from hostile aeroplanes arc
capable, it is said, of penetrating a
piece of teak one inch thick. the Pail
Mall Gazette remarks. In all probable
ity this is undertaking their effective
ness, for the acceleration due solely
to the action of the earth's gravity
would cause the dart to arrive on the
ground at a high rate of speed. AS
Stunning it to be released 5000 feet
above the earth-lower than which
the aviator runs the risk of being
brought down-it would be travelling
at nearly six hundred feet a second
at the earth's surface, or at more than
a quarter of the speed at which a bull
let leaves the British service rife.

Finally the hawk rose into the air

A wife should neither be a drudge

Velvet Dresses With runlcs.

Although many dress skirts are in
circular cut, this is rarely the case
with velvet dresses, as the long tunic
is especially good in velvet, says the
Drygoods Economist. These long
overskirts, as they nay be called, re-
quire weight in the cloth to make
them hang gracefully, and are, there
fore, an attractive style for velvet.
Circular skirts are very apt to hang
unevenly in velvet, as the weight of
the cloth drags down the skirt at the
sides.
