 By such, judicious treatment, and by grown of Corresponding and congenial hue, red hair may be tanned down into what. bv courtesy, may be called bright auburn. 1 A fair skin and a sweet smile aid the de- ! lusion-if delusion it be--thus Danish l locks do execution-and the |" Lass wi the gowden hair'' is by many thought the beauty ofthe night. But,
 Whatever be the reigning mode, and however beautiful fine head of hair may be esteemed, those who are short in stat ure, or small in features, should never in- dulge in pEof6se display of their tresses, If they would, in the one case, avoid the appearance of dwarfshness and unnatural size of the head and, in the other, of making the face seem less than it actually is, and thus causing what is thereby petite to appear insignificant. If the hair is closely dressed by others, those who have round or broad faces should, nevertheless, continue to wear dropping clusters of curls; and, although 1t be customary to part their hair in the centre, the division should be made on one side if it grow low on the forehead. and beautifully high on the tenn pies but, if the hair be too distant from the eyebrows, it should be pslsed only in the middle, where it is generally lower than at the sides whatever temptations Fash- ion may offer to the contrary.

 Young ladies ought never to wear many flowers in their hair, ar many leaves, what ever be the fashion. If a bud, it should just peep out, now and then, while the lovely wearer, with light laugh, sweetly waves her ringlets to some pleasant whis- per; if full blown rose, let it-as ye hope to be happily married-be white one.- York for the hair, Lancaster for the bosom.
 We are partial to pearls. They have very simple. very elegant, very graceful, very innocent look; with a certain pure, pale, poetical gleam about them, that sets the imagination dimly a-dream of mer- maids &'sea- nymphs gliding by moonlight along the yellow sands. Be that as it may, we are partial to pearls, even though they be but paste-provided all the rest of the 1 fair creature's adornments be chaste and cheap, and especially if you know that her parents are not rich,-that she is nurse 1 to several small sisters, and that her broth- CTS are breeding upon the army, navy, bar, and church.
