outbreak OF scuryy. With weakened

be abandoned. Instead Arson deter
mined to seek a haven at Juan Fer

be landed. all hands refreshed and his
greatly reduced squadron refitted and
repaired. But again misfortune
crossed his path.
AS Arson describes It. "Our deplor-
able situation then allowed no room
for deliberation, so we stood straight

precious, our men dying, five and six

Early on the morning of the 2sth Of

horizon, but because II the haZiness
OF the weather ii was thought to be

missed on the first attempt. Accord
ingly the ship was headed eastward

Juan Fernandez. Finally on the 9th

captured a small Spanish craft, de-

patched his other ships to several

DEGREES CHANGE IN PARTING
OF THE HAIR,
Calls for Considerable Skill in Ar
rangement-Open Psyche Knot Is
General-Tresses Must Be
Neat in the Back.

A fashion that has been shelved is
the parting of the hair in front or at
the side, although there is a definite
line of carrying the hair from left to
right, or right to left. That is the diff
| ference between the couture of 1880
| and today. Sleek as the hair is, 1t
goes across the head sideways, espe-
cially in the back, where it is drawn
up into French twist that has all
been pinned fat and Strengthened out,
so that there will be no bulge in
the smooth line of the head.
There is no fashion against the out
lining of this fiat French twist by a
long ornamental comb, but that is
only possible in the evening, and
many fashionable women prefer to
do without it.
There is great skill in the way the
hair is brushed across the head and
twisted into fairness and it is this
style of couture which is the most
difficult for a woman to arrange her
self. 1t is better done when the hair
is slightly marcelled, to give it body.
This is not possible if woman has
heavy long hair, which SO many Amer
leans possess. If she waves it, she
also thickens it and is compelled to
work out something original with the
long ends.
AS she must dispose of these left
overs in some fashion, the law al
lows her to roll them into an omen
Psyche knot on top of the head. In
the evening she can catch this knot
down with two small ornamental
pins, preferably of jet, and in the day
time the small turban will fit neatly
over the knot
The one law that must not be
broken in the couture of the day is
the straight, clean line upward from
the nape of the neck to the lower
edge of the crown. Short hairs are
apt to make this line broken and

STATE Reformatory CROWDED.

SIaIe ReTormatory CROWDED.
Crime in the state of Wisconsin is
either on the increase, or municipal
and circuit judges throughout the
state are more lenient with offenders
by not sending them to the peniten-
tiary, is the way officials of the Wis
consin state reformatory account for
the crowded condition of the institu-
ton at the present time.
Recently sheriffs arrived in the
city of Green Bay with several pris-
oners who had been committed to the
state reformatory Bowron was forced
to turn them away with the statement
that the institution was too crowded
to take care of additional inmates.
The state reformatory is used for
the most part in taking care of what
is known as first offenders and those
under twenty-one years Of age. Dur
ing the last few weeks many boys have
been brought here from all sections Of
the state and the vacant cells have
been rapidly filled.
Three years ago, under the direc-
ton of Superintendent Bowron, new
cell house with a capacity of $50 cells
was completed, but even the addition
al space has proved inadequate to care
for the new offenders. The cell house
recently completed was built to the
north of the building, provision be-
ing made for the construction of an
other one of like capacity to the south
of the rotunda
Efforts have been made by the state
board of control to get an additional
appropriation from the state legisla-
ture to carry on the work of con-
structing another addition, and if they
meet with success the work will be
got under way as soon as the money
is available.
While the institution is crowded at
present, it is expected there will be
some relief within the next few weeks
as the state board of control is eX-
pected to grant pardons, or paroles to
a number of the boys who are now
serving time. The vacancy caused by
the paroles, however, will quickly be
filed, as there are several counties
waiting to place people in the insti-
tuition who have been sentenced to
terms of one year or over by different
judges.
