complain because OF the late arrival

turning OF OF the current for an hour
each afternoon Just at a time when
the Courier ONCE needed It most

The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1916-02-04

There are several pretty ways OF
trimming the hair of little boys and
girls and of managing that of larger
girls in a way to take the best posi-
BILE care of it. But none of them is
quite so popular as the bobbed hair,
which is equally pleasing on boys or
girls that are little, or the braided
hair for larger girls, as shown here.
Those who trim the locks of the lit
tie ones make some variations in the
bobbed haircut, to suit the individual.
Sometimes the bang is longer and
sometimes the hair at the sides, natu-
rally wavy or curly, is cut little long
er so that it curves about the ears.
Occasionally a side part suits the style
of the youngsters face particularly
well, in which case the hair is
trimmed and trained to this style for
either boy or girl.
On little girls from three to eight,
curls that hang almost to tho shoul-
ders and fringe o ringlets about the
face make out SO good a case for
themselves, on the score of becoming
ness, that they are always fashionable.
Then the hair bow of ribbon begins
to fill the horizon of the little miss.

A naive and pretty frock of gray
crepe de chine, such as that pictured
above, will lend occurrences and a
touch of youth to it's wearer, be she
lacking, in both. It has the charm OF
simplicity and of clever originality to
commend it to those who know the
value Of these things that spell
class"
There are plenty of the widely far
ing and quaint-looking skirts and the
plain, drawn-in waists for those who
would run after new gods Cor a re
vival of old ones) in pursuit of fash.
ion. But for those who remain loyal
to the waist that -blouses and the
straight-hanging full skirt that has
youthfulness of line always to com
mend it, the frock shown here will
make strong appeal.
The skirt denies the demand of the
mode for extreme shortness and takes
to itself little extra length, required
by the impression the finished frock
must make. There is a straight pep
lum at each side hanging from a mod
erately wide. plain girdle. This is
edged at the top with band of cross
barred satin in white with dark gray
bars, and above this a soft frill of the
crepe meets the blouse
The buttons are covered with crepe
like the dress, and there is an odd and
very youthful-looking collar of white
crepe about the round neck. 1t fas
tens in the back.

1t was Alix that discovered Alan as
the Elenic steamed slowly down the
SoIent. He was already comfortably
established in his chair with small
pile of fiction beside him.
She paused before she approached
him. Alan had always interested her.
Alix had thought of him heretofore
as a modern exquisite subject to atavic
fits that, in times past, had led him
into more than one barbarous esca-
pade. Now in London she had by chance
heard things of him that forced her to
readjustment of her estimate. In six
months Alan had turned himself into a
mystery.
well" she said, coming up behind
him, how are you?'
Alan turned his head slowly and
then threw off his rugs and sprang
to his feet.
The sky is clear" he said, where
did you drop from?" His eyes meas
ured her. She was ravishing in a fur
toque and coat which had yet to re-
ceive their baptism of import duty.
oh" said AliX, my presence is
humdrum. Just the usual returning
from six weeks abroad. But you! You
come from the haunts of wild beasts
and from all accounts you have been
one"
Been one! From all accountsr' eX-
claimed Alan, puzzled frown on his
face. "Just what do you mean?"
They started walking. 81 meant that
even in Africa one can't hide from Pic
cadilly. In Piccadilly you are already
known. Not as Mr.. Alan Wayne, a
New York social satellite, but as a
whirlwind in shirt sleeves. Ten Per-
cent Wayne. in short" She looked
at him with teasing archness. She
could see that he was worried.
Satellite is rather rough" remarked
Alan. II never was that
"All bachelors are satellites in the
nature of things-satellites to other
mems wives"

paratively small number of them are
kept in hospital at any one time-per-
haps about 400.
II is a decided surprise to find the
colony a scene of such activity and
the effect is naturally Immediately
salutary for the incoming citizens. And
from the moment they leave the quar-
antine buildings their entire life as
sumes a new aspect For many and
many leper it is the very beginning
of life, even though it comes toward
the end. That is Culion colony.
The island is fifteen miles long and
nine or ten miles wide. Both the
island and the town are divided into
two unequal parts called the clean and
the unclean. The clean is merely the
portion reserved for the headquarters,
and for the workmen employed. of
whom there are about 200.
In the unclean district the lepers
are. But in the transition from the
clean to the unclean, one has no i'm.
preston that there is a CHASTITY CON
trast between the two districts. Con-
trary to the general notion that lep-
rosy is disease whose symptoms are
the dropping off of fingers and toes
and other portions of the body, or that
lepers are always unsightly from spots
and blotches, the fact is that this con-
dition prevails only in the advanced
stages, and in the beginning, especial
ly, the disease is marked by changes
so slight that only the expert can iden.
tify them. There is no contrast, either
in the general atmosphere Of the clean
and the unclean parts except perhaps
that the unclean is the buster and the
happier.
The colony is organized as town

as you say. Pretty women have taken
to wearing men for bangles. But don't
you make a mistake. I'm not a BAN
gle. I've just come from the unclothed
world of real things. To me man is
just a man and, what's more, woman
is just woman"
How un-American." said Ali1.
ITS more than that" said Alan.
Its pre-American."
Alix was thoughtful in her turn.
Alan caught her by the arm and turned
her toward the west. A yawl was just
crossing the disk of the disappearing
sun. Alix felt thrill at his touch.
she said. But you mustn't touch me,
Alan 1t can't be good for us"
$50 you feel it too" said Alan. and
took his hand from her arm.
During the voyage they were much
together. not in dark corners but wag
mers that fought each other, forgetting
to fight the tide that was bearing them
out to sea. Alan was not a philander-
er to snatch an unrequited kiss. To
him a kiss was the seal on surrender
But to Alix the game was it's own
goal. AS she had always played it,
nobody had ever really won anything.
However, it did not take her long to
appreciate that in Alan she had an
opponent who was constantly getting
under her guard and making her feel
things-things that were alarming IN
themselves like the jump of ones heart
into the throat or the intoXicatiOn that
goes with hot. racing blood.
Alan's power over women was In
voice and words. If he had been hid
eous it would have been the same.
With his tongue he carried Alix away
and gave her that sense of isolation
which lulls q woman into laXity. One
night as they sat side by side, single
great rug across their knees, Alan laid
his hand under cover on hers. 4 culver
went through Alix' body. Her closed
hand stirred nervously but she did not
really draw it away. "Alan," she said,
