Letting Fashion Rule.

1t is one of the funny Incidents Of
fashion that there should have been
in this extraordinary mild winter more
fur coats on the street than ever were
seen before. Outside of Russia or
Greenland, women were never so uni
fornly attired in furs as during last
winter-and yet, unless one were driv-
ing there has not been single day
when fur coat was needed, and dur
ing more than half of the time these
garments must have made their wear
ers very uncomfortable. Well, there
Is no accounting for the fashions. The
rationale Of fur coat, Of course, Is
to wear 1t when 1t is cold enough to
do so, and lay 1t Off for some less bur-
densome garment In ordinary weather.
But when the girls put on their fur
coats in the early winter they put them
on to wear every single day, be 1t cold
or warm. The consciousness that 1t ID
fashionable no doubt makes any gar
ment comfortable.--Grlt.

Return Of the Golf Widow.

During the war the great majority
Of golfers who were ineligible or too
old for military service gave up their
golf, many because they were preoc-
cupied with work, many because their
golf courses were not kept up. many
because they had not the moral cour-
age to appear in public with golf clubs.
Thousands of golf widows were thus
married again to their former hus-
bands. and foolishly hoped to live hap
PLY ever afterward, says "T. b." in
the London Daily Mail. The remar-
rled golf widows are again bereaved.
Their late lamented husbands have
once more departed for the happy
hunting grounds-of the little white
ball. The corporeal shapes of their
husbands indeed appear in their homes
to eat and sleep with a new heavi-
ness) or to practice putting on the
drawing-room carpet in frost-bound
weather. But they are only phantom
husbands. Their only mundane inter
ests are the golf articles in the daily
papers. Sometimes they bring other
women's ghost husbands home to din
ner, and then they talk golf.

Hair at $50 an Ounce.

Peasant girls of France are more
than ever abandoning the close fitting
native headgear, to wear which they
had to have their tresses cut. In
rural France there is a widespread
movement for the adoption Of the
"towny" style, which, II less pictur-
esque, makes for the preservation Of
woman's chief glory.
This fact, coupled with the total dis
appearance from the market Of
Chinese hair, from which the cheaper
grades of Switches" and "tails" used
TO be made, renders false hair OK
tremely expensive in France. "There
are no more so-called hair fairs held
I'm France nowadays" says q proml-
Dent hair specialist, "and natural
blond plaits are worth at least $50 an
ounce. -......

to the Concert Hail.

II looks as IF tho old order of mn
slcans will soon he moss covered. The
tOusly headed individual in freak at

Sonality n passport to capacity houses.
II the dead composers had messages
FOR modern humanity the messages
must be interpreted by modern men
and modern women.
The musician of today looks like n
smart business or professional man
rather than an idle dreamer. observes
the Philadelphia Record. He is rs
good customer as the barber has.
Short cropped hair is supplanting the
shaggy locks of former days The
schoOlbOy's Windsor tie and low col.
lar have given way to the neat four in
hand and regular business mans col
lar. The Buffalo Bill chapeau Is
ousted by the conventional fedora. Odd
mannerisms which serve no useful
purpose are cast off.
The modern musician is good
mixer. He wants to know his public
first hand, and he enters into the gen.
ernl life OF the community instead Of
acting the recluse. BY mingling he
has learned that people now want
music. not gesticulations nor dress.
Concert gOers are more concerned
about what they hear than what they
see. An artists reputation for freak
ishness off the stage does not offset
poor execution on the stage. The mu-
sic-loving public has developed to the
point where sham and pretense are use
less. Nothing but the ability to pro-
duce good music can get past.

KEEP OLD TRAVELLING BAGS
Salesmen Almost = Unit In Belief That
There 10 Good Luck in Bat
tered Grips.

Ever notice how worn and battered
are travelling mems grips and bags?
The knight Of the road who tells you
sions alone last year" is likely to have
a grip that would cause shame even
to Il debt-hounded clerk.
The reason? Superstition. It's bad
luck to change travelling bags.
"A travelling man will cling to the
same old bag us long as the handles
stay on it and 1t will hold together"
said veteran travelling man. II had
only two travelling bags in % years
salesman with the same grip he start
ed out with. He'll have 1t repaired
and pieced together time after time,
using strings or straps IL necessary to
keep 1t from falling apart"
Another superstition Of the men who
sell goods Is that 1t is bad luck to be
the first to sign hotel register. II a
travelling man comes in early in the
day and finds nobody ahead of him on
the register he will hang around the
lobby. nervously waiting for somebody
to come In and put down his signature
on that register. Many hotel clerks
know this trait of their patrons and
will say: You can sign later. Mr..
So-and-So. Well give you a room and
remember 1t till somebody else comes
in"
Few travelling statesmen like to do
any work on Sunday. It's another su-
perstition. If one sells bill Of goods
on Sunday. the belief Is. he will lose
a day that week. He won't gain by
it. Either he will find some of his ex-
pected customers away or his train will
be late or something equally unfortu-
nate will happen.
They believe. too, in the old adage
that bad beginning means a good
ending"
IF travelling man starts out his
trip with some big sales he will be
absolutely convinced that the finish
will be poor" said the veteran. "And
IL he doesn't make any sales to speak
Of the first few days he will be the
most hopeful and cheerful chap in the
world. Means big windup."

as deadly as q snakes venom.
The liver acts as a guard over our
well-being, sitting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation.
A blockade in the intestines piles a
heavy burden upon the liver. If the
intestines are choked or clogged up,
the circulation of the blood becomes
poisoned and the system becomes
loaded with toxic waste, and we suffer
from headache, yellow-coated tongue,
bad taste in mouth, nausea, or gas,
acid dyspepsia, languor, debility, yellow
skin or eyes. At such times one should
take pleasant laxative. Such a one
is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,

consider them unequailed as . liver medicine.
