From that day TO this II has spread
like prairie fire. The individualists
find the field ripe for extraordinary
experiment; the amateurs go timidly
into the fashion and adopt some minor

Those who knoY their Paris felt
sure six months ago that IL these or
namental head dresses grew in power
and fashion the pre-war head dress
party would be revived. And this hap
pened. For three months It has been a
delightful and surprising type Of Par
isienne entertainment.
The writer does not think of this
kind OF party without a SILVER down
the spine, for 1t is connected in the
mind with an Apache raid, a mad
night ride In a taxi and a police court.
The story cannot DO told here, but It
would make a stranger than fiction

Those who were present at this par
ticular pre-war head dress party in a
certain fashionable district in Paris
will probably forswear the new fashion
with feeling akin to terror because
OF the memories revived
1t is quite probable that Paris has
not had a head dress party since those
immediate pre-war days, when It was
In high fashion. Its return to favor

up the idea as a novel means OF enter

care to invest the money and time
necessary to get up an entire fancy

do up her head according to some an

plentiful, the work is simple, and the
transformation Of the face, when well
done, gives its own cause for merri-

The woman who INDUCES IN a dis

In a startling manner from what has

Slavic countries, as well as the Orien-
tai ones. women have taken to dress
ing the head with an avidity that they
never gave to gowns. They have In
vented monstrous things as frames for
their faces. They were threatened
with accommodation by the Pope Of
Rome in one century, but even this
dire threat to a Roman Catholic coun-
try did not diminish one whit the
height, breadth or magnificence Of the
towering edifices that they put on their
heads.
Are we on the eve Of a revival of
much Of this medievalism? Why not?
We have done It in war. In apparel,
and in mentality. Why should we omit
headdresses?

ROLLING PIN pOLITICs

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner
 Of course if Bella Kun and his associate eXperimenters in government had known human nature as MT. McManus knows it they never would have attempted to "cCmmunize the women of Hungary Mr. Jiggs could have told young Herr Felt ner before he started that he couldn't get anywhere with that kind of stuff, Herr Weltner being married and his wfe's mother being member of his household.
 In the absence of such expert advice however, the cariess Weltner subscribed in council to the communication of women act, had it set up in type in his news- paper shop and went home to dinner
 Quite casually he mentioned the achievement of the day. Maggie herself, we are told. could not have done a bet ter job than was accomplished forthwith by Frau Weltner and her mother.
 When the smoke of battle cleared away the subdued and chastened young states man meelly telephoned to B. Kun that the scheme to make women public prop erty was all off and sent word to the printer to melt the type instanter.

"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"

young man lacked the poise of char acter which refuses to be affected by the limelight of newspaper headlines. He made only sporadic efforts to earn living for himself and his wife. The intoxication of publicity went to his head. He fell into debt He drifted into politics and was elected an alder man in a Massachusetts city. The birth of his child did not make him settle down. On the other hand, the girl had overestimated her readiness to live simply and frugally as she had never lived before. She had not counted up the sacrifices involved in her elope- ment. That she struggled for eight years always at least partially es- tranged from her own family to make patient wife of herself, may be req sonably concluded. Perhaps at any time under our elastic divorce laws in some states and with the powerful influence and wealth of her family she could have secured a separation.
 Lesser human tragedies than this have inspired some of our best fiction. Love at first sight" hides from ado lescence the burden it carries. Some- times the sack is full of wholesome happiness; sometimes of hopeless gloom. Accept it, and you have gone into the greatest gamble in the world. Reject it, and you may have ignored the. highest opportunity. That the choice is not to be lightly made and may best be made with the kindly counsel of natural protectors should be clear even to the adolescent mind

WHEN FAMINE FOLLOWED WAR

William Rufus and Henry I. in the civil wars of Stephens times, and under
 Henry II. But the next dearth which especially quickens the sympathy was that which befell the people in the days
 of Richard Occur de Lion, the Cru sader. There is a brief reference to the famine of this period in Tvanhoe.'
 Starvation was followed by a pesti lential fever which sprang as if from
 the corpses of the famished.' Ceremo- nial burial was omitted except in the cases of the rich.
 While backward seasons were con-
 tributing factors, the responsibility for
 the two great famines of Henry HIS
 reign is to be laid at the door of the
 government itself In the first of these
 1235) 10000 persons are said to have
 died in London alone. The suffering in 1257-59 was even worse.
 Tt was during this famine that Eng
 land for the first time imported from
 Germany and Holland grain to alleviate the suffering of her poorer classes. The first ordinance in English history de- signed to curb the greed of the mid
 dleman was passed during this time of shortage in food supplies.
 Few English kings have lived through greater periods of distress l than Edward II, who was scarcely able to secure food for his own immediate household when the heavy rains of 1914 spoiled the harvests Everything im- r;r lI "a and even babies.
 With the exception of the world war perhaps no other calamity that ever ! befell the human race can be compared | with that of the Black Death and the accompanying famine, which afflicted all western civilization during the mid- dle decade of the fourteenth century. | It's toll has been variously estimated at from one-fourth to three -fourths of | the entire population of Europe. Ger | tainly it was not less than 2.000.000 | people,
 Out of the situation which resulted sources of the kingdom grew the first great clash in England between capital and labor. The peasants became mas l leFS or the SltudtlOn. ln some cdSeS | they demanded double wages. "Parliment hurriedly passed drastic laws in an effort to meet the new con dition. Anti-loafing statutes, which also 1 fixed wages at the scale paid year ] before the first appearance of the plague, were enacted. Runaway la-
 borers were to be branded with an F.
 as a perpetual sign of their falsity"

WW AsHlNGToN, May 5.-tspe-
 MW ciaL)-"Perhaps no barome-
 ter holds SO sure sign of our advancing civilization than the sue cess of efforts now being made to avert the hitherto invariable hand maidens of war-pestilence and famine" says a bulletin fro mthe National Geographic society.
 one refutation of the Always has been, therefore always must be- argu- ment for war is that fact that civilized nations are emerging from the great est war the world has seen and avert
 ing the two other consequences always deemed nevitable-plague and starva- tion. True, nations which represent ancient civilizations also exhibit the old phenomenon; hence those people more highly organized economically not only must withstand the shock for them selves but must help feed other lands"
 The bulletin quotes from communi-
 cation to the society from Ralph A.
 Graves which gives a picture of past
 famines in England. in striking con-
 trast to her present condition after the
 terrible strain she has withstood The writer states:
 'The story of famines in England
 has been a gloomy one from earliest times. At the beginning of the eighth century dearth, which extended to Ireland, drove men to cannibalism It was not until the reign of Aethelred the Unready, however, that such a ber,' from 1905 to 1016.
 Those chroniclers who were wont to see bad conditions at their worst declared that half the population of
 the larger island perished. But it must be remembered that much of the nor tality of this period was occasioned by the wars between Aethelred and Sweyn 1 the Dane, the latter being forced by l the famine to retire from England for | time.
 | Naturally, the era following the | Conquerer was one of widespread star
 yation and pestilence among the Eng 1 fish peasantry. During the last 30 years of the eleventh century, nine were years of dire distress.

THE DAY SHIFT

From the Stars and Stripes
 The small boy (so the story goes) had exhausted all his all-day y-suckers but one, and was observing it thoughtfully when the inquisitive old gentleman came along.
 "Why don't you eat it?' asked the in- quisitve old gentleman
 "Oh, said the small boy, T get more fun out of just thinking about eating it- and, anyhow, tasted it and it's sour"
 The small boy was wise beyond his years, and he also had the advantage of forewarning.
