 Bobbing and shingling find no favor at the Dutch court, where this style of coiffure Is still regarded as rather too daring for a princess
 Juliana has dark blond, rather straight hair, and looks remarkably like her mother when she was her daughters age. The princess will bo a most eligible match; for the private wealth of the house ot Orange is considerable.
 She has been carefully brought up in the old Dutch tradition of quiet efficiency in all household arts, She has not been abroad much, and Is happiest among girl friends of her own age.
 Although both her father and her grandmother were German, feeling in Holland is much against another German consort. A Scandinavian prince would be much preferred.
 Next year, on her eighteenth birthday, she will assume the full title of princess of Orange-Nassau, and a memorial will be unveiled by her at the Hague in honor of Juli- ana von Stolberg, the saintly mother of William the silent. after whom she was named, and who has always been held up before her as an eX- ample of piety and model of all feminine virtues,

Grows Old Gracefully

London, P)-Ellen Terry knows the gentle art of growing old grace fully better, perhaps, than any other celebrated Englishwoman.
 She received great ovation at the first night of the revival of Much Ado About Nothing" in which Henry Ainley and Madge Titheradge had the roles of Benedick and Beatrice.
 Ellen Terry was the Beatrice in Henry Irving's production forty-four years ago and soon established her self as the greatest Beatrice England had known. Consequently the ap- pearance of the venerable actress ir one of the boxes provoked prolonged applause, which she acknowledged with much grace.
 Ellen Terry has made no attempt to conceal her years. Her hair is silver white and she usually wears q

 Painters are having q difficult time trying to make women look graceful fin modern gowns. The most talked up portrait in London Is a picture of Lord Ruthven's twin daughters, Alison and Margaret, which John Wells just completed.
 The portrait of the bobbed haired young women Is full-length and shows them standing together in sleeveless evening gowns with skirts which barely reach their knees. In an effort to compensate for the lack Of draperies the artist has thrown an evening wrap over the arm of one. which, falling to the ground, breaks the straight lines of the scant gowns.
 But many art critics find the ar lists effort failure and declare the modern attire of women lends itself far better to revues and bathing beaches than to the portrait paint CTS art.

Men Have Grievance

Patient Engishmen have another grievance against women. Dearer haircuts for men are threatened as a result of the epidemic of shingled hair among women.
 Women's haircuts cost as high as ten shillings in London, while men only pay about one-tenth Of that sum to have their hair trimmed. Consequently the assistants who work in shops where women are served are paid more than in shops for men only, and are deserting the male shops.

DECLARE CATAPULT
| TESTS SUCCESSFUL

ROME, Jan. 2.-The experiments
carried out recently at the Gulf of
Spezia in launching seaplanes by
catapult have been most success
full. Similar tests have from time
to time been made in Great Britain,
France and America. but had not
met with practical results.
The inventor of the new mp
raratus. which enables heavier-than-
air craft to start from a fixed space
by means of catapult, is a naval
engineer, Major Luigi Gagnotto. The
difficult part of the test lay in the
resistance of the pilot to the very
great and sudden acceleration of the
machine. which attains at once a
speed of 62 miles per hour.
The pilot who volunteered to en-
ter the seaplane, Cesare Cara of
the Italian air force, after the trial
flight performed in the presence of
q special commission of naval and
air force officers, declared that he
maintained complete consciousness
and full physical integrity. In or
der to try different arrangements
Of the seaplane, Signor Cara al
lowed himself to be literally fired
off four times consecutiyely, and
each time the results were most
satisfactory.
After his daring test Signor Cara
carried out q long circuit over the
city of Spezia, and on his return at
the base he received an enthisu-
astic reception by crowd Of anx-
