MILLINERY MODES SET
BY SOME ECCENTRIC HATS.
This stage director then pointed
to a young woman who had ap-
piled that afternoon. and pro-
nounced her hat an 'absurdity."
Looking at the newcomer. .swho, by
the way, had a very definite man.
athletic looking girl wearing a mod
est but becoming frock Of some
soft crepe. But her hat! 1t was
very high Of crown and narrow Of
brim, with little turned-up places
at either side of her head; and.
waving and Tapping as she moved.
~
different colors sprang out Of no
where and suddenly took possession
Of the upper air. .
She might have syInbolized "The
Spirit Of the Stock Ticker" but
she seemed prettily unconscious of
her outrageous bonnet.
The director said nothing at the
time, but the next day when she
appeared with an even more gro.
tesque hat, he took her aside. with
the idea Of finding out where she
got her hat recipe. It was not
long before he discovered he had
found an extraordinary personality.

The time-honored piece, from

OF matrimony. .s.
...., Confirmed here.
Washington. jewellers confirm the
sad news, although there are some
high-priced stores that still main
tain that they sell as many engage
ment rings as ever. -..s -
II believe 1t is the high price Of
the engagement ring that Is caus.
ing the girls to discard them" said
one local jeweler. "A young man
once could buy a diamond karat for
500. while now he must pay $500
karat. Any one purchasing dia-
mond as an engagement ring usually
wants at least a karat. A half karat
costs $3.50 and that Is the price Of
the average engagement ring. I
mean good stuff.
The tax on the diamonds has
something to do with IT," said an
other jeweler. "A ring that really
costs $S5 we have to charge say
500 for. This price includes the s
per cent tax" ...... ..
Moralists are prone to depors
this state Of affairs. They say that
the engagement ring serves as Q
protection to the girl and 1t is q
pity to discard 1t. A clergyman,
they point out, wears q frock coat
and carries Bible under his arm,
80 everybody will know who he 10
and refrain from telling funny"
stories or swearing in his presence.
His style of dress is a protection
to his high calling.
Ring Is Warning. =
Just so is the engagement, ring
with the girl who has promised to
love. honor, and obey. II q man
tries to "act fresh" or make
amorous advances, she has only to
show her diamond on the third
finger, left hand, and this Is suf-
ficient warning to be careful, or
'be good" A subtle sweeping Of
the hand across her face with ring
plainly showing is a common way
Of indicating to such a jolly fellow
her state Of mind. ~'4r
1t was not so long ago that
women moralists brought up the
question OF engagement rings for
men, and the discarding Of the ring
by the girls, themselves, has given
them considerable jar.
The advisability Of the male Of
the species wearing the ring was
manifold they said. 1t would serve
to show that he was engaged to
the other girls. 1t would prevent
them from flirting. and altogether
bind them. II would demand of
him the same faithfulness that he
demanded of "her." -

hair arranged In a new and star
ting manner. It was slicked back
tight on her shapely head. and on
each high cheek bone was a little
flat curl. Being a striking bru-
nette, the stark simplicity Of her
coiffure heightened her charm with
amazing success. ...
That evening when she was get
ting ready to go on. asked the
stage director to convey my con-
gratulatons to Miss Taschman, and
ask her to wear her hair as she
had at rehearsal in the afternoon.
She did with the result that when
she came on with the other girls
one could hear little gasp Of ex-
element from many feminine lips.
Here was a novelty in coiffures.
Not long after that Frances
White appeared in the cast with
the same sort of hair arrangement
and, II you remember, five out Of

style. 1t seems to- me 1t was

"BOBBED HAIR" CRAZE
BEGUN BY IRENE CASTLE.
The present popular craze for
bobbed hair started in the chorus.
A young woman from fashionable
finishing school in Washington OBJ
tanned a job in the chorus Of a
Broadway musical comedy. She
was not beauty. as beauties go.
but she was perceptive enough to
know that her graceful angularity
could be emphasized and made
charming by distinctive contour
Of the head. .'.
So It was that Mrs. Irene Castle
got the notion Of bobbing her hair
bizarre enough idea at the time
but one which has recommended It.
self to many diverse types of fem
ininity for It's manifold comforts, its
real chic. You now see at least one
bobbed head to every square acre Of
every city and town In the country.
Although It Is dependent more or
less upon the Individual, or the par
ticular Characterization called for,
the matter OF hairdressing is left to
a large degree to the tastes Of the
girls themselves. Already this year
there Is a chorus beauty in New
York who elects to wear her pretty
locks down her back. The effect Is
really charming. but whether or not

Clocks are receiving all the enpha-
