There is great variety. and individuality of
tastes shown in the styles Of hair-dresslng, yet
three kinds Of cotffure most generally prevail.
First among these is the chat0aaue of two loops,
which is SO becoming to slender oval faces
This Is made OF two very thick bralds. plated
each In three tresscs. and, after being tied very
high, allowed to fall In Two loops behind. This
is account panied by waved bung on the fore
head ueually, though some ladies iud q straight
bang, like friuge, more easy to manage In the
i've small puffs or else TWO long loops OF hair
are placed at the top Of The chatelaine To
nuke this coiffure more dressy a serDentine
Knot OF ha1r is used instcad OF the uuHs that
have been worn SO long. THIS is made OF
small switch OF hair smnly tied in a loose knot;
vartety's sake bow OF h=ir may be made OF
this switch, or else gay Alsac1an bow Of ribbon
may be used. Ladies With full round faces
use the high coifrure. The back hair is combed
that about the temples is carried back
to meet it, and the whole Is lnassed In
two or tAree long puffs, or III q scrpentine knot,

light blue French bunting, which is Tine as the
incest camel's-hair. The skirt Is short, with

Ladies with blonde hair use dark to.toise-
shell pins In star Marguerite shape, while the
silver ornaments are preferred br bruuettes.
Flowers. so elaborntelr worn on bail dresses,
are very slightly represented 10 the coifture. A
small bouquet is stuck on one side, or perhaps
on top just In froot OF the puifs, and Il trifc
toward the loft. II the flowers are artificial,
They are sometimes set in rosette Of lace; but
this must be- carefully done, or it Will look too
much like cap. The silk turbans are no longer
worn, or at least they al1 laid aside until winter.
Natural fowers are more worn than artificial
oues, and each young girl ado pts flower, aud
introduces it into ieVery toilette with which she
wears flowers. DaIsies are worn BY many;

costume worn BY pretty blonde; and psnsies
