WOMAN'S CROWNING GLORY
SEEN IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES
Good Grooming a Sign of Mentality The Woman Who
Is Well Coiffed Is Alert and
Active in Her Work
By ELLEN ADAIR
e-fTTOMAN Is a creature ot eccentricity
Wand unexpectedness." There Is
nothing In the least original In uch on
observation; yet It Is more or lens true.
Tor one never on be ure Just what a
woman will do next nor precisely what
trange freak of fashion he will haste to
follor.
e
I.ast month, when I was In I.ondon, I
ltetlcd with Interest and no email amount
ot surprise that an attempt
was being made to revUo
tho "no-hat" fashion In the
streets, The attempt was a
mild one, and qutto obvious
ly foredoomed to failure.
Yet some bright spirits were
making a bold bid for the
Innovation, and yearning for
the winds of heaven to play
amidst their unruly locks.
The gentle zephyrs, by the
Way. certainly were playing havoc amidst
the aforesaid coiffures. Poetically speak
ing, the wind-tossed, sun-kissed locks of
the average maiden present or should
present a charming picture. Dut such
Is very seldom the case. It the truth be
told. Long, straggly ends ot hair from
which every vestige of curl has long since
fled, ragged edges and disheveled "bangs"
are not attractive, whether Boreas Is
whispering amongst them or not.
One or two of the damsels who wero
aping the new fashion were obviously for
eigners, either Belgians or French. In
these countries It Is the rule for working
girls of thei.tretter class to go to and from
their business without hats, whilst house
wives rarely do their marketing with cov
ered heads.
I chatted with a prominent London
hairdresser on the subject. "I do not
think tho fashion is Bultnble either for
English or American women," he said, de
cidedly, "for they have much finer, softer
hair than other races, and would llnd It
very difficult to keep It neat and trim In
all weathers.
' Belgian and French women usually
have thick, glossy hair, which can be
colled round the head or dressed neatly at
the neck without fear ot getting untidy
on a wlndv day.
r ''Besides, and this Is an all-Important
point, "women from the sunny land of
France' have a sense ot artistic halrdresa-

the wonderful coiffures of the French

est of the tn havo tho olr of having stepped
straight from the hands of the most ex

In my hotel, whose earnings per week
would not have kept the average Ameri
can girl In gloves, had her hair most ex
quisitely waved and dressed, every line In
perfect harmony,, and her pretty head a
veritablo poem of beauty.
The women car conductors, whose Indi
vidual earnings In a 10 houta' day of work
wou'd not bo rulHclent to pay for one
single halrdresslng, have coiffures so
beautifully 'marcelled' and arranged that
many a rich American or English woman
might envy tfiem. "We would be nshmed
to appear In public with the hair dishev
eled or untidy," one of them declared.
"Is It not one of your English poets who
declates that a wom
an's crowning glory Is
her hair? That crown
ing glory we must,
therefore, keep a
glory, and not nllow
to become unculti
vated nnd unkempt.
The arrangement of
the hair, too. Influ
ences the mind. Did
you ever see a w oman
with a rough, untidy
heaj who was cieer
at her work, nlert, active? And did you
ever see the woman with the impossible
coiffure respected In business? Certainly
uoc In this country. We consider that a
neat, well-groomed appearance Is essential
to success in our different professions and
that It Is the outward sign ot a tidy, care
ful mind."
Whether the foregoing remarks. In their
sweeping entirety, may be open to dis
pute or not, tho fact remains thut the
woman with smart, well-groomed locks
has nn Immense advantage both In work
and In play oer her untidy and thcre
foro less attractive sister.

GAS LIGHT MARVELS
WILL BE DISPLAYED
TO CITY NEXT WEEK
Phllndclphin Company to Do Its
Pnrt in Movement to Fa- ,
milinrizo Public With
New Methods
TO SHOW DEVELOPMENT
Great Improvements Since Scientists
First Burned "Ghost" Light and
AInrmcd Public
Next neck will be National Gas Light
ing Week. From Monday, September 27,
to Saturday, October 2, this community 'a
due for a lesson In the possibilities ot
modern gas Illumination. Gas companies
tho country over are planning to turn
tiicse six nights Into days, nnd Philadel
phia will have an appropriate share In
the splendor.
For months the tas people have been
preparing for Lighting Week. It Is felt
by the lenders of the Industry that enough
renlly big, revolutionizing things havo
happened in their world In the last few
years to warrant the setting npart of a
week for telling tho public about them.
Almost unknown even to ninny who havo
used gas nil their lives, thero arc yet
wonderful new ways of lighting, new
typen of lights, new methods of control
all of them the result of the recent work
of tho man In the laboratory, and all of
them full of interest to the man on the
street.
If one should happen Into the offices
of tho local company next week, one
would get a glimpse of some ot the de
vices which get such transforming effects
from the ordinary gas one Is wont to
sco burning In nn open flame from nn
ordinary tip: mantles not much larger
than the tip of one's thumb, giving out
n light that reachei to every corner of
tho room; the great, luminous bowls of
the scml-intllrect system diffusing their
soft nnd perfect light; exnet and easy
systems of control., masterpieces nf
their kind, and everywhere one would
notice the elimination of chimneys,
gauzes nnd stacks tho triumph of sim
plicity. LONG STRUGGLE WON.
This was a triumph won only after long
and almost heait-breaklng struggles. In
a littlo Npw Jersey laboratory Howard
Lyon, one of tho leading experimenters
In gas, set to work to devise a better gaa
IlRht than tny then known. He worked
for several years nnd at the end of that
tlmo ho had n tube, not so long as a
pencil and tapering LUrlously In the
middle, nnd a mnntlo the size of a
thimble. That doesn't sound Impressive,
but Dbctor Lyon had what he had gone
after, nnd his cute Is typical of tho
lnbois of his fellow scientists of the gas
Industry all over tho country. They
worked to cut down, to eliminate, to
simplify, and they made a tremendous
scrap heap. But they got what they weio
after.
There was a long period In the history
of gns lighting when the scientists, be
lieved that for purposes of Illumination
tho art was well nigh perfected. That
wns the time when open-dome burners
were regarded ns next to miraculous, and
elaborate fixtures were devised to set
oft the garish yellow blaze.
This was Just after gas began really
to bejused for lighting, it had been known
to exist ns early as tho 17th century , when
the Belgian chemist Van Hclmont coined
the word "gas," becauso It appeared to
be a "gcest," the Dutch word for ghost.
However, he paid the penalty for talking
about ghosts, for his superstitious neigh
bors hounded him Into obscurity.
At first the 17th century public was
afraid of tho new "geeBt." To tho popu
lar mind the burning of a gas Jet was a
strange phenomenon. People thought
that gaB pipes were filled with fire and
thnt the Jets were only openings through
which the flames escaped. They would
touch the pipes fearfully, expecting to
tlnd them hot. When the early Installa
tions were made the pipe-layers actually
had to set the pipes several feet from tho
wall for fear It would burn!
8TAnTED IN 1810.
Gas lighting was really launched on Its
career In England In 1810, by a man
named Wlnsor. However, not until 1880
did the modern scientist become dis
satisfied with the crude open flame and
set about transforming it Into a thing
of convenience and beauty. First, by
means of the now famous Bunsen bur
ner, the spreading flame was concen
trated Into a small space; then rare
earths, reduced to fluid form, were made
Into mantles to surround this flame. In
creasing the light twentyfold. It Is for
the scientific descendants' of these very
mantles that millions of dollars are, spent
today; and It Is by them that more than
75,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas Is burned
In this country every year.
Then came a burner In which gaa was
sent through a small tube at high veloc
ity, sucking the needed air with It, and
on the heels of this came the Inverted
typo of Incandescent gas mantle, tho
forerunner of the best In modern light
ing. At first this new unit had a most un
usual fault It waa overefllclent. It gave
an Intolerable amount of light for the
gas burned. It was In toning down and
perfecting this light In the interests of
the exacting human eye that Doctor
Lyons' work was done.
Today the scientists can take a gas-
stream, hurl it at great apeed through a
tapering tube that constricts It so that
there Is an almost perfect mixture ot
gas and air and fire, the combination to
make a light so perfectly toned as al
most to cheat one Into the belief that It
Is the daylight coming In through a win
dow. They can conceal the source of
this light In bowls ot the new, heavy,
luminous glassware so that the fixtures
will harmonize with any modern scheme
of decoration.
They can turn on this light, aa any one
can turn It on, by simply touching a
chain or pushing a button In the wall.
And all the while they were doing these
things to the gas-stream they were
"scraping" the pld-fashloned chimneys
and stacks, and perfecting the manufac
ture of the tiny new mantles,
These are some of tho things that the
gas companies prpmlse to show next
week, Merohants will co-operate by light
ing their windows with gas at night;
there will be special reductions In the
sales of appliances; there will be con
tests, too, and other pleasant and profit
able devices for celebrating the occasion,
end there Is promise of plenty to Illumi
nate the householder who thinks there's
nothing new In the way of gaa lighting.

AN ODD LITTLE FROCK
FASHION magazines and numerous
other publications heralded the arrlval(
of the hoop sklrlt with the enthusiasm
for novelty which Is characteristic of
them. They declared It to be the last
word In spring and summer fashions.
Ihe result Is a host of wired skirts. In
wide hoops, exaggerated and awkward;
and moderated hoops, 'dainty and equally
fashionable. It Is the successful adapta
tion of a style which makes the atyle
possible, or as the Dry Goods Econo
mist puts It, "the hoop skirt Is restrained
to a point of moderation" a thing which
we often wish could be done with Its do
sleners. Another point to be considered In de
signing the hoop skirt Is the fact that,
os It Is a typically American Institution,
it remains for our originators to bring
It to a perfection of artistry which will
DARBY EXCITED WHILE WAITING
FOR ALLIGATOR EGG TO HATCH
Reptile, Taken in Hock by "Jim" Kelly, Presents Bounc
ing Sphere to Suburb and "Watchful
"Waiting" Policy Follows
Darby may have an alligator soon with
a full and complete right to the label,
"Made In Darby." On the other hand,
however, It may not. It all depends on
the decision ot an egg. If It hatches,
there will be a baby alligator. If It does
not, there will be none.
If the alligator arrives It will first seo
the light of day In the window of the
store of Gus Fappas, on Chester pike,
above Main street. For the egg Is dis
played there so that all Darby may
watch Its evolution.
A circus came to Darby some weeks
ago. It was apparently not such a pros
perous circus, as the owners owed a
bill to "Jim" Kelly, who keeps a livery
stable on Main street, above 4th. As
"Jim" couldn't collect hla bill he kept
one ot the pet alligators belonging to
the circus. The alligator, a feminine
kind of reptile, laid ihe egg.
Alligator eggs are not common In Darby
and It soon aroused a good deal of In
terest among the population, Particular
ly Interested In It were two policemen.
Josh Heaps and Bert Shaw. They found
the egg very fascinating. It was peculiar,
for, although It looked not very much
different than a hen's egg. It would
bounce when dropped on the ground.
If you don't believe a hen's egg won't
bounce, drop one some time on you
parlor floor.
One policeman said the egg would hatch.
The other said he was a "blamed fool."
(Ills language, to be acourate, waa some
what stronger.) Bo they decided to find
out who was right They put the egg
In a Jar of water and searched for a nice
warm place In which to place the Jar.
Pappaa' store has southern exposure
and gets the benefit of the warm sun, ao
they selected his window.

She Is the "mother" to them all. She It a
their guide, adviser nnd friend. It Is htr j
desire to share their sorrows and helpl
them all in all the little problems thitl
beset the life of a young woman In a':
great city. She wants to have the due..
room so attractive that the call ot the
ouisiae wnin win pass over the heads '
her charges unheeded. t
During the winter there will be fr-
qiifnt entertainments In the church. ThtJ
gins will play a large part In there en
tertainments. The Itev. Daniel B. TTel. 1
gle, pastor of the church, has laid dowoj
n new law. 1
The church Is going to be actlvs In'
giving entertainments and suppers and
perhaps some amateur plays, but no
admission will be charged. Mr. Wtlgle
disapproves strenuously of selling tickets
for church functions.
The whole Idea is to make life as good
and as enjoyable aa possible for Us
young optimists. Mrs. Sallada belltr i
that similar clubs should be opened i
churches In all parts of the city, for
says there Is n tremendous need for iuch
an influence In life of every young girl
who works.
