ed the award Of the championship to Miss
Knapp. Miss Hyatt and her brother COM
planned to the management Of tie exposi-
ton, and to the judges But the award
had been made and there was nothing
further to be done, they said.
Miss Hyatt felt very badly for two rea-
sons. In the first place she felt that a
wrong had been done her If she had been
60 cheated out of what she believed was her
just title to the distinction of being the
American Venus Of modern times. Such
distinction would be a matter not only
Of great personal satisfaction to her, but
would be a pleasure to her friends, q
thing which would be a considerable asset
In her future matrimonial chances and
something to be highly treasured in the
memory Of her children in the years to
come. g..
But In addition to these more or less
sentimental reasons, Miss Hyatt felt that
she had a very real and tangible griev-
ance which could be measured in dollars
and cents. She had been promised, she
asserts, contract with the ~,Follies' COM
pany II she won the American Venus
prize. II then, as Miss Hyatt and her
admirers fully believe, she was entitled to
this prize. she had lost an opportunity,
which would be worth q round $1,000
In real money TO her.
And the more the disconsolate Venus
thought this over. the more she decided
that she owed Il to herself and 20 her
future husband and to her future chill
dren. and to her own present pocketbook,
to make a fight for what she insists she
has been wrongfully deprived of.
So Miss Hyatt took legal advice and
after going over the whole distressing sit
uation, lawyer David Steinhardt, Of No.
1910 Broadway, put together the OUT
standing facts In the form of a cor,rlaint
and began suit In the Supreme Court Of
the State Of New York which promises to
be memorable one. n..,r...

form in this instance In righting wrong

Powder for the Hair.

The great objection to using powder
between shampoos to keep the hair
fluffy is that it leaves the head
dusty looking" Talcum or powder
ed orris is white, and no matter how
carefully the hair is brushed after
ward, little Of the dustiness seems
to remain. Even If you use coarse
yellow cornmeal, which Is so much
easier to brush in and out of the hair,
slight dustiness is apt to remain
because Of the fine starchy powder
in the meal.
Try this-it's a perfectly new idea
and / think you'll like it.
It's obvious that il you, having dark
brown hair, could use dark brown
powder to fluff 1.-THE powder that
