all its own way. Even for the morn
ing many smart women swAthe their
brows with fantastic silk scarfs or
bandannas. and for evening there IL
no limit to the modes and materials
employed in arranging the hair.
A hundred years ago, when the
center part and the poke bonnet
were once before very new ana very
smart, hairdressers made use of all
sorts of classic fillets and bandeaux.
But they forgot classic inspiration
in the vogue that followed for fanci-
full headdresses. using feathers
laces, preserved butterflies. stuffed
birds. imitation ears of corn. little
tupids. real, and artificial flowers
and sh-picked fruit. And again
the weight of the coiffure began to
threaten the health and sanity Of
woman. 1t approached that of the
period OF Marie Antoinette. when
the headdresses put up with pounds
of artificial hair and pomades bore
such names as enameled meadows
and forest glades, because they
were vsritable miniature landscapes
--or even the hennins worn in the
n iddie OF the fifteenth century.

become heavy, because women insist
that they be made with the lightest
kind of construction.
The other day a noted specialist
got himself into print by objeeting
to the present mode for long PEN
dant earrings. He said that they
would impair the hearing of the wom-
en- that wore them, besides lowering
their general vitality. A young wom-

put them into her bag. The butcher
objected. He said:
See here. my good woman. I want
that meat. Put it back"
She did SO with q blush. and her
mouth formed to a whistle. She call
ed out, "Luxi Lux! Luxr' pretending
to be whistling her dog. She kept up
her whistling for a couple OF minutes
perhaps and then pushed her way out
Of the crowd and walked off very
rapidly. She was ashamed to have
any one think she wanted the meat
for herself and the dog pretense was
evidently made up, for as she depart-
ed there was no dog in sight.
1 here took a taxi and drove to
several other places about the city. I
had the car several hours and when 1
looked at the meter I saw that it
registered 5 marks. or what before
the war would have been 50. 1 paid
the man $500 marks, the amount be-
ing arrived at by multiplying the
figure registered on the meter by
1900. Not long ago the nultiplier
used was 500. Before that it was
800. and 1t has steadily risen as the
mark has gone down. AS it is. ride
which before the war would have cost
SO now costs 33 cents. The cab fares
are so low that riding is cheaper
than walking. Indeed keep q taxi at
my call almost all the time. and IL it
stands idle an hour it does not much
matter.
Speaking of taxicabs, those Of Ber-
lin are excellent and the service Is
CORD. The city has comparatively
few. however, and this is so OF all
kinds Of motor vehicles. Germany is
short on such transportation. I have
looked up the statistics. and In the
whole republic there are Tess than
Sf.eee Automobiles. This means about
one car per thousand, a striking con.
trast with the United States, which
has more than one automobile for
every twelve people. Hamburg. which
Is as big as Detroit, has less than
5000 motor cars. and Bavaria with
100000 population has less. than
6,oc0 automobiles. notwithstanding
Munich. its capital, is about equal to
Boston in size.

is more than she saves.
A servant who works in this hotel
gets $4,000 marks weekly besides her
percentage of extras. She gets good
tips from foreigners. but mighty lit
tie from Germans, as they are too
poor to pay. She had yesterday a tip
OF 20 marks or one-tenth of a
cent. A window cleaner who washes
the glass charges 200 marks per
hour. Ny typist employed her and
paid her 1.4o0 marks at the close of
the day. She says that the woman's
little boy when he came to go home
with his mother asked her to buy
some herring for supper She re-
fused as the price of two herrfngs
was equal to the earnings of her
whole seven hours.
The value OF the mark makes all
goods involving skilled labor exceed
insly cheap. AS I figure it / have
just made s1s5 by patronizing a tailor
here in Berlin. The tailor has eleven
testimonials from kings, mobiles and
dukes. and he might be called the
royal tailor of the capital OF Ger
many. Among his customers are the
King of Bulgaria, the King OF Siam
ana Prince Eitel Friedrich, the sec
ond son Of the kaiser. He had the
bulk Of the best trade OF Berlin be-
fore the war and about the only ex-
ception among his distinguished Gus
toners was the kaiser himself, who
had all his clothes made In England,
the cutters and filters travelling back
and forth between here and London
to measure the royal physique and to
make the At as he directed.
This tailor is now paying 21s cents
per hour to his workmen. according
to the tariff fixed by the trade. The
tariff decides just how much time a
man may use for doing certain kinds
Of work and there are 396 items re-
lating to the making of new suits
and s7s for alterations and mending.
Putting In the sleeves has it's allotted
time and 80 has the making of but
tonholes. the cutting and sewing Of
lining, and it is SO with every part
Of the suit. If q man can do fast
work he can make two sleeves in the
time allotted for one and double his
wages But everything is rising and
these rates may be trebled before this
letter is printed.

You may have noticed in the cor

corsets offered for their selection to
see how much they weigh. Other

choose the lighter. Even their jew

often indicate intrinsic value. The
long pendant earrings that once
weighed down the lobes of women's

tn o bob or not to bob no longer
seems to be the question, but
to part or not to part. Every
one has attempted it-this
new center part--though they may
have carried the style no farther
than the environs of their own dress
ing table.
Your inspiration may be a daguer-
reotype of your own grandmother,
demurely framed in a chaste oval, or
IL may be one of Zu1oaga's languo-
rous Spanish beauties with sleek
dark hair drawn securely back over
the perfect 6val that is said to be
an Andalusian heritage. Or it may
be that the part has no historic or
artistic association for you and that
you have merely been inspired by
the exploitation OF this style by some
famous actress.
The center part. however, is not
the only new hair arrangement.
There are countless possibilities in
the new mode, and the vogue of the
poke bonnet may have had much to
do with all Of them. The essential
seems to be O coiffure that is fiat,
showing the shape OF the back and
top of the head in a way that has
not been done for decades And the
close-fittins poke has brought this
about as it did q hundred years ago,
when pokes were first invented--or,
ss they were then known, coal

proposed to the imperial :ailor that
he turn them, saying that I wanted
the cut and that he might charge
what he pleased. This he has done,
putting in new lining and findings,
and the result is that I have two
suits which are practically brand
new, and look quite as well as when
/ received them with q bill for $225
from my Washington tailor. The
charge for this work was $40 a suit
or just $40. and so 1 am $1s5 ahead.
While they were taking my measure
q banker came into the tailor shop
and ordered twelve suits of clothes.
Later I asked the tailor the cause Of
such large order, whereupon he re-
piled that he had many such. The
banker had made a good speculation
on the stock exchange. and he knew
that the marks he had received might
be worth only half as much nex1
week as they are today. Therefore
he straightway invested them in
clothing. which will hold it's value
independent Of exchange fluctuations.
When first came to Berlin this i'm
periaI tailor was charging 100000
marks per suit. The mark was then
$4,000 to the dollar. and the charge
was $40. when the mark fell to 10000
or more to the dollar he raised his
price to 1.5oo,o 900 marks, and now
that IL has fallen he is down again to his
old price of three-quarters of a mil
lion. / would say that the suit one
can buy here for $50 or $40 is equal
in cloth, and, 1 think, also in cNt. to.
that for which our high priced tailors
are charging 800 at home.
A 81 write this the mark is 10000
"A to the dollar. That means that
you can get 200 marks for 1 cent

OF the lowest values ever put into cur

piece in comparison with it. The mite
was worth one-tenth of a cent, and
when the widow put her two mites

posted the equivalent of 30 marks at
the present exchange. The small
