THE DOOM OF "LE BOB,'

ANOTHER CHANGE FOR WOMEN.

The bob" is dead: vive la swirl!' (writes a Paris correspondent of the Morning Post). The swirl is the name which has been given to the latest modification in present-day hairdressing modes for women. "La bob," which is now the

of correct French manner denominating what is known in England aa bobbed hair, and what has for genera tions been described in France by the. axpression à la Jeanne d'Arc," is doomed, and definitely doomed, no cording to a section of the tonsorial artists who specialise in ladies' coiffeurs in Paris; but this does not mean that women are to go back to the graceful glories that characterised them before the fapper began to set her older sisters the pace,

The swirl, in short, is to be the final touch that will perpetuate the boyish crop which many women have now aloptou-the mode i ta garconne, as it is called here, or what the Germans have christened Pagenkopf." Instead of being slowly shingled at the back the swirl is designed to give the Fair a brush upwards and obliquely, thus curving and outlining the head, if it may thus be described, with a graceful Greek god effect.

The swirl, it is held, will enable that crade and curious hardness of outline that causes too many shingled heads to present the fecting impression of the silhouette. of the doorknob, to be sup- pressed. The term will be troublesome, however, for the average French tongue to master.

In the Rue de la Boétis the other morning the parement outside a ladies' bairdresser's, shop was blocked by a non- descript crowd, the attention of which was focussed on one of the alluringly attractive figures with which tho Paris.

Closer inquires revealed that the girl, Simonds'

tired of the precarious occupation or an artist's model in the ateliers of Mont- martre and Montparnasse, had willingly accepted the offer of a hairdresser, who had conceived the idea of interposing" among his conventional statuary the head and bust of a living figure, on which to display his best creations. It is ofth trying work, the young woman confessed, to preserve the necessary, immobility be fore the constantly changing crowd of interested gazers, and gaily ung kisses occasionally threaten to upset her placid modesty. But it is an opportunity," she added philosophically, "to see humanity from quite an exceptional. point of view !"

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS SERUM. FRENCH DOCTOR'S DISCOVERY.

The announcement of a "discovery by Dr. Calmette, of the Pasteur Institute, of a serum which, administered to newly- born children, protects them against tuberculosis, has led to a widespread suggestion that its use should be malle. compulsory, says the Paris correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph. The doctor, however, has been frst to protest against such an idea, declaring that, in- site of the wonderful results already Achieved, scientific exactitude demands that the serum should be tested for many years yet before a final judgment is pro nounced upon it. Already 9,070 children born of tuberculosis parents or living in an atmosphere of infection have been treated with such astonishing results that fewer than one-half per cent.. have died of tuberculosis. Before the application of the serum," the tuberculosis 'death-rate among the children of tuberculous parents was 25 per cent. in the first two yeaIN, Experiments are being continued with monkeys, healthy young animals being. made to live in contact with infected ones. It has been "found up to now that, while monkeys treated with this seruum. remained immune from tuberculosis, the others almost invariably contracted it. The serum is the result of thirteen years' culture of a particularly virulent bacillus obtained from да OX. During the thirteen years, the doctor has bred 230 successive cultures from this base, and soon found that each generation was less virulent than its predecessor, until these of the final culture were perfectly harm. less, though they had retained full power of provoking the formation of anti- toxins in the organisms they "stacked.

A VERY BRAVE "WOMAN.

SAVED MAN ATTACKED BY SHARK.

A gallant rescue by a woman of cer years of age is recalled by the award of the Royal Humane Society's silver medal to Mrs. Henri de Verteuill, of Tobago On August 3rd a man named Guy was attacked by a shark while bathing, at Tobago Mrs. do Vertouill, who was leaving the water, together with other. people, after hearing the

cry of "Sharks," noticed that Guy did not follow. She took a pole out to him, but his hands had been hitten off, and she' supported him by his chin until the ahore was reached."
