Day.

Spring Opens With Bluster, but With
Promise Of Better Things to Como,

Not to be inconsistent, tho vagarious
month Of March made three changes
In tho weather yesterday. and gave Il

until they fell upon street and side

need OF extra labor on the part OF
superintendent Henry Cohn and his
Street Cleaning Department, except
that there was much SILT and mud to
spoil my lady's shoes and bring mental
anguish TO those men who stick to
patent leather, no matter what the

DEVICE TO START GOLF PLAY
Instrument in Use by Various Clubs
Eliminates All Arguments Be-
tween Contesting Players.

Arguments over the starting OF
players is eliminated to a great ex-
tent by an instrument now employed
by virtually every golf club in this
part Of the country. This device Is
a long piece of pipe mounted at an
angle on wooden or steel legs, the
opening being large enough to accom-.
modate golf ball. The higher end
is open, while the lower end is
plugged, and an opening made near
the end, from which one ball may be
removed at a time BY being covered
all the way down, not one ball can be
displaced from the order in which il
was inserted into the tube.
AS players reach the first tee. il
they cannot leave at once, they drop
an initiated sphere into the tube, and
when it comes to the end the owners
name is called and he, his pair or
foursome, tees off. If the owner of a
ball is not present when his initials
are called, his ball is placed last in
line and he must await its next ap-
pearance before he may start.
The old system of barber shop pre-.
cedence is eliminated entirely, for
there can be no question as to the
ownership of balls now, with every
player having his initials sunken into
the gutta percha, and one inclined to
"slip one over" by substituting his
ball for one ahead of his Is baked.

TT is wonderful what miracles of i'm
i provement in looks can be brought
about by means of the couture and its
decorations. Only beautiful and au-
dacious youth can afford to wear
plain, severe styles of hairdressing.
Waves that mitigate the austerity of
straight lines, curls which suggest
femininity, are almost invariably be-
coming. And aside from becomingness,
q well-groomed appearance (more evil
dent in the couture than anywhere)
has a compelling charm in itself.
When the best and most tasteful of
hair ornaments are worn, to set off the
chic couture, a chance is given for the
exercise of individual taste. There are
many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten-
tious and elegant, that any clever
woman can fashion for herself. Near
ly all of the new ones are made OF
strands of small rhinestones, used IL
single or double bands, about the head,
in the manner of Greek bands. But
with them flowers, feathers, or velvet
ornaments are used.
Two of the best designs are shown
here and one hardly needs more than
the picture to be able to go about
copying them. One consists of rhine
stone band sewed to fine silk-covered
wire which terminates in loop at
each end. A hairpin thrust through
