MODERN JONAH TALE
JOLD BY CAP WEEKLY
Folks whose belief in the Biblical
story of Jonah und the whale has
been ridiculed by skeptics may find
comfort and satisfaction in this story
told in Capper's Weekly, and sub
mitted for wnat it is worth. '
According to the account, one
James Bartley, an English sailor,
was missing after the crew of his
vessel hud captured a large sperm
whale off Falkland Islands in Feb
ruary, 1891. After working a day
ana a night removing the whale's
blubber, the stomach was hoisted
aboard showing signs of life.. Upon
cutting it open Bartley was" discov
ered inside unconscious, but was
? shortly revived only to be found a
raving maniac.
He recovered his reason in about
two weeks and related his exper
ience of having been thrown from
a boat and slipping into the whale's
stomach. He said the heat was
terrific, but he was able to breathe,
although he soon became unconscious
and knew nothing more until he re
gained his senses on board the
ship.
It is said that Bartley's skin was
bleached to deathly whiteness by the
heat and the gastric juices of the
whale, and remained so, although he
otherwise recovered.
We merely repeat the story. Be
lieve it or not.

Weekly Fashion Article
BY LUCILE BUCHANAN
i' u?hitm Editor of llarpcr'i Uaitir
New York, May 23 ? A great many
smart women are now wearing long
hair.
1 shall hastily qualify this iliscon
concorting statement. It is not as
had as it sounds. This hair is not
painstakingly grown, through the
awkward age and on up to tne final
chignon in the back, but is really
something that you can buy,V ar
range tastefully on your dressing
table, and pyt on.
That is how the dignified evening
coiffure, which so many women
yearn for, is achieved. Short hair
for sports, for street, and general
daytime wear, with Chanel tweeds
and I'atou suits, but long hair with
chiffons and the important glitter
ing gowns that Paris wears to "Gal
as," That is the philosophy of many
smart women.
When "long" hair is worn this way,
it is just a twist of hair, exquisitely
matched to your own, and arranged
on the nape of the neck either jn a
chignon or in a long "figure eight"
twist that covers the short-hair line
in the back. Thus a coiffure of
sufficient dignity to complement a
truly gorgeous and important gown
is achieved.
"Little Wig?" in Vogue
Transformations, which are really
little wigs, are now having a vogue
among extremely smart women.
These are worn as a costume ac
cessory rather than to cover any de
fects of your own hair. The favor
ite color for this new wig is ash
blonde. Not tHe glittering golden
blonde that we have been told so
I disheartenly often that gentlemen pre
fer, but a silvery ash blonde that
has a lovely high-keyed tone under
the evening lights. This ash color
is particularly lovely with the pastel
greens and yellows that are worn so
much for evening this season. With
white, too, it is singmlarly effective.
It is amusing and attractive to be
several tones "higher" in color at
night than in the daytime.
t A wig of this sort, worn over
short hair, is often cut and coiffed
exactly like one's hair. Every char
acteristic of one's usual coiffure is
preserved, so thai the effect is rather
baffling. A subtle chance of color,
a new atmosphere ol' personality.
1 Another new idea is to have hair
to almost shoulder length that may
be worn tucked under in the day
time, and puffed out to chignon or
twisted into a knot for evening. The
advantages of this is that the small
'tight hats that are the mode and
will undobutedly continue to be the
mode for some time, may be worn
with hair cut like this and not pulled
out of shape, while enough is kept
to build into a smart coiffure at
night.
The coiffure*, both here and in
Paris, have tried season after season,
to coax women into a permanent
long-haired mode. Why, I can't im
agine, because as things are now
they are kept busy clipping and
waving and reshaping, because ev
eryone knows that short hair is far
more trouble than long hair that can
be skewered up into an imposing
structure, covered with a net and
left with scarcely another thought.
One thing is certainly now demode.
That is the atrocity in the shape of
a point at the nape of the neck that
the hairdressers so carefully culti
vated, whether it grew there or not.
If your hair does grow in a point
naturally, you're lucky. If it does
not it is the better part of smart
ness to have it cut following the
natural hair-line.
, At Maywood, 111., a trunk in the
attic of a house which had been
abandoned for 20 years was found
to contain a man's skeleton.
