The Greek, Egyptian, Carthaginian
and Hotnan l ad lee of twenty-five cen
turies ago made uae of tbe moat^a*
tonlshlng quantities of borrowed "fcalr,
and tbe Roman women of the time of
Augustus were especially pleaeed
when they could outdo their social
rlvalw by piling upon their heada a
greater tower of additional tresses.
They a Wo arranged curls formally
around the head.
An extensive commerce In human
hair v/ns carried on, and after the con
quest of Gaul, blond hair, such as

exorbitant prices for forming tbe hair
Into fanciful devices, such as harps,
wreaths and diadems.
WHY THEY LOVE THE LIBRARY
Buch a Nice Place to.8lt, Especially
? If One Has Agreeable
Company.
While pleasant weather lingered the
stone benches In front of the New
Fork public library were occupied by
couples whose presence could not bo
attributed wholly to their Interest in
the architectural scheme. They re
mained too long and their eyes spoke
Of other things.
Since rain and chill winds have
made marble bencheB out of doors un
comfortable, pven for ardent sweet
hearts, they are to be found on simi
lar seats which are placed for decora
tive purposes In the long corridors in
Blde the building.

Had Hie Eye On the Boat. .
Alexander Carr has a reputation as
a wit and story toller only equaled by
his reputation as an actor. His latest
story was told the other night and
runs as follows:
Two Hebraic gentlemen, friends of
long standing, went to the lake and
each hired a rowboat for a trial of
skill and strength. In the middle of
the lake one tipped over lila boat and
sank fronj sight. Coming to the sur
face close to the bow of the other
boat he shouted:
"Ikey, Tkey, save mo, I can't swim!"
Carefully holding the boat a few
feet away from his drowning friend,
the other looked on unmoved.
Again the unfortunate one sank be
low the surface, and as ho came up
for the second time repeated bis cries
for help.
A th|rd time he came up, and then,
as he started to disappear from sight
for the third and last time, his friend
shouted:
"Able, if you don't come up again
can I have your boat?"
