Hanna HARDIN BLOG. | | T is wonderful what miraclés of im- provement in looks can be brought about by means of the coiffure and its decorations. Only beautiful and au- dacious youth can afford to wear plain, severe styles of hairdressing. Waves that mitigate the austerity of straight lines, curls which suggest femininity, are almost invariably be- coming. And aside from becomingness, a well-groomed appearance (more evi- dent in the coiffure than anywhere) has a compelling charm in itself. When the best and most tasteful of hair ornaments are worn, to set off the chic coiffure, a chance is given for the exercise of individual taste. There are many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten- tious and elegant, that any clever woman can fashion for herself. Near- ly all of the new ones are made of strands of small rhinestones, used in single or double bands, about the head, in the manner of Greek bands. But with them flowers, feathers, or velvet ornaments are used. Two of the best designs are shown here and one hardly needs more than the picture to be able to go about copying them. One consists of a rhine- stone band sewed to a fine silk-covered wire which terminates in a loop at each end. A hairpin thrust through these loops holds the band in place and is concealed under a strand of bair. Old Time Detecti!e Work By EVERETT P.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY, o« 1 ]NEW bonnets for the little miss of four or five are made of silk in some distinctly new ideas in bonnet shapes. The shapes are of buckram- ette, and the art of the milliner de- lights in covering them in many pret- ty ways, in which needlework is fea- tured. An example is shown in the illustra- tion picturing a bonnet on a girl of five. The blue silk with which the frame is covered is beautifully fitted to the foundation by means of shir- ring over cord. A bonnet so elaborately and clever- ly made wou!d be spoiled by much trimming. Narrow velvet ribbon is posed on the crown and hangs in loops and ends from the small cape at the back of the shape. Two little nosegays of small, familiar flowers provide bits of gay color, mounted at the right side on the crown near the tront and at the left side near the cape. For girls from eight to sixteen the new hat shapes are reproductions in smaller size of some of the shapes designed for grownups. A spring model is shown in the picture. It is a pressed shape made of hemp with brim drooping at the right side and Bates Yellow Ticket Sale Closes Wednesday Night, February Third, at 5:30 — Only 3 Days More e DI Dbl -4 SOOI IPRPP P PR SHPOHBEIIEEPPPTDPPDDHD oo P L L s & rolling upward at the left. Three bands of narrow faille ribbon encircle the crown, and a strap of it extends over the brim edge at the right side. A quill is thrust through the crown and brim. This is one of many brisk styles for the little girls who wear their hair smartly bobbed. The shape is made in several colors and is one of many similar to it in character. For the child who goes South it is just the hat for present wear. One of those notable children's hats, called the “Kinnard,” after the name of the inventor, is portrayed in the third picture. It is of chinchilla yarn, crocheted over a small wire frame, and is finished with wide taffeta rib- | bon which extends across the front of the crown through the brim at each side. On the underbrim the ribbon forms a pretty rosette. Hats of this kind are embellished | with little blossoms or other forms | crocheted in the body of the shape, and | are different from all other millinery. The crown is rather large in the hat pictured, and the posing of the bows is as buoyant and sprightly as little girlhood itself. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. S PO DO PPIPIPISIEDEE P Improve Your Opportunity | Winaton had appeared to bim and sald . that the Thorpe brathers had gilled bim, burned his body and ourled the residue tGinder a beéch tree, the only tree standing in the back yard of bis bome. Twitchell gave the civil au- thorities an account of his dream. At this point in my nparrative it is ‘well to remember the conditions of that period. The bellef in witcheraft that bad reaped so many victims had diegd out among educated persons, but ) st prevailed among the lower class- y €. Today a belief in revelation by | dreams, though not what it was then, . Is not entirely extinct. 1 The Thorpe brothers were arrested. the ground about the roots of the! beech tree was dug up, and some but- | | tons and the metal parts of a palr of | suspenders were found. This evidence ! 1 vas considered so strong that the' | Thorpe brothers weré urged to con- | fess in order that justice should be) meted out fo each in accordance with ' ' what he deserved. James, under the incessant pleadings of his spiritual ad- , viser, finally gave way and confessed that he had been the murderer. But ! later Robert confessed that he, too, , had taken part in the killing and bad ’done the principal part in getting rid of the body. Now, If we consider the evidence In this case as it would be regarded to- day there is nothing in it. First, we would not accept the dream as of any value whatever; second, the articles found under the beech tree might have been thrown out in the yard or burned with other refuse under the tree and become mingled with the soil; third, we bave numerous confessions in murder cases that are not true. But in those days, when the people were emerging from a period wherein an organized court of justice would convict a woman of vomiting crooked pins and sailing on the water in a sieve, the evidence against the Thorpe brothers, backed by the confession of both, was considered quite sufficient to hang them. They were tried, con- victed and sentenced. One day a man rode into Bradford and while sitting around the tavern stove was told that the next day there would be a banging in the town and he had better remain over and see it On mention of the name of Winston be sald that be had seen a half witted man in Hadley of that name. A friend of the Thorpe boys was present, and he went to the judge with the story, ask- ing for a stay of the execution in or der that the matter might be invest- gated A constable was sent to Hadley and returned with the man for whose mur- der the prisoners were to have been hanged. The brothers were released and received an ovation, the towns- people really rejoicing that they had been saved by a mere chance from hav- ing committed murder themselves. The blow that Winston bad recelved from Robert Thorpe bad caused an fn. | dentation of a bit of his skull on the brain. Even nowadays we are never ure when or what vagaries may be caused by such a pressure, though it can now be removed by . surgeons. Whether the surgical process of trepan- ning was done in those days or not 1 don’t know. I found mo record of the subsequent condition of the injured | man. Round Combs fow Chlidren. Now that vogue deerees that the bair must go back of vhe face, that children’s interesting foreheads may show, the old-fashioned round rubber comb has come into its own again. Last winter a young New York mother made a hunt through the shops trying to find one of these combs, but her search was in vain. Yet now the combe are with us agaln. till the signal was uearly tinished. Then a ship's yawl, driving right up In the teeth of the gale, hove iuto sight. She was without a mast or sail or oars, and the only figure in ber sat in the stern sheets, and his arms and legs were bound around with ropes. The man was bareheaded and dress. ed as a landsman, and as be drove past within twenty feet of the rail they had a look square into his eyes, and the agony on his face made them shndder. They started to throw him a rope, but as the coll swung lnto the air they re- membered that, being bound, be could make no use of it. The yawl and the man went straight to windward and ip A couple of minutes were out of sight, and the men found themselves all a-tremble. Captain Crox was full of indignation over the crime of send- ing & man afloat in that manner and of pity for the victim, when his mate touched him on the arm aond shouted 1o his ear: " Y1 T wan nshiory, captmas 2! the money in England would tiof bribe 1é to set foot on this deck again!" “What's the matter with you?" was called In reply. *It's only @ bit of shore villainy that we wust repoft.” “It's nothing that's bappened ashore, sir. Did you take unotice that the craff was driying right in the teeth of the gale? It wasn't a live man in that boat. She was going to windward with a ghost, and I'd give the bit I | have in the bank if I'd not seen It.” 1t was agreed between them thatnoth- | Ing be sald to the other watch when they turned out, and they went on duty without knowing or suspecting that anything out of the way had hap- pened. While carrying the thing out with pretended indifference, Captain Crox was, as a matter of fact, pretty thor- | oughly upset over it and on turning in found he could not gngo sleep. He bad been lying on his bunk and turn- ing the thing over in his mind for an hour or so and the gale was still howling and the lightship bouncing about when bhe realized from the movement of the watch that they had been bailed. He was out of his bunk and on deck just as one of them light. ed a port fire, and you can judge his feelings when he saw the former scene re-enacted. There were the yawl and the man, and the boat slowly forged past them and disappeared to wind- ward. There was no more sleep for any- body on board No. 4 that night, and next day, when the gule broke and the tender came alongside, all de- manded that they be put ashore at once. The captain was as badly rat- tled as the others. They were guyed and ridiculed, of course, but they stood so irm that the tender brought off another crew, and they were re- lleved from duty. A new crew was assigned, but the man and the boat ap- Peared to them twice in one night and drove them ashore, as they did the others. A third crew went ost and for two weeks began to prepare to remove the wrecks. Some progress had been made when a three days’ gale set In from the north, and there were more wrecks than bad been known for ten years before. For two days the light- ship hung to her anchors, though hav- ng a signal of distress out after the et day, but when the gale abated sbe had disappeared. She had been swept down the channel and out to sea, and & week later she was passed bottom up more than 300 miles away. The same storm broke ap and remov- ed the wrecks, and there was no longer need to keep a light at that spot. | Formation of California Coast.
