Women of Culture.
Il Is astonishing to note how many
women of good taste on the majority Of
subjects make unparionable plumbers

self so entirely in these matters as to be
positively outre, making herself disa-
greeably conspicuous by wholly disre-
garding prevailing modes. As usual,
the medium course is the most satisfac-
tory one to pursue. and mot difficult
one either if we will only devote little
forethought to arrangement and effect.
In the main, Dame Fashion is liberal in
the mode Of arraDging the hair, although
there are few unpfeasiDg freaks fol-
lowed by the ultra-fashionable which it
is preferable TO avoid. For instance, the
fashion of cutting the, back hair, which
!, for atime was partially suspended. has
been revived, and prevails to an
alarming extent. that if continued
will in a short time make a switch
a necessity for every other lady in
America. The style is becoming
only to few, and even they soon tire
of it and resort to the hair-dresser for
something more modest and graceful.
1t is tuc ilfat it costs but trifia to be
shorn. and the operation is not tedious,
and It may even be comfort to be re-
iieved of the weight of hair, but every
one shouldssbe advised of the fact that the
expense does not end with the first clip
ping. as the points of the hair must be
often trimmed to keep it in proper shape,
and the rulings of la mode may shortly
change in such a way rs to demand q
switch or perhaps an entire wig to meet
the requirements. The changes in the
style Of couture have not. affected the
front hair, the English bang being still
as popular as ever, though it has been
subjected to minor notifications, and it
is not SO curly as formerly. 1t is
dressed in loose half curls having the
appearance of fullness though being
light and airy. For ladies who require
. high couture. and they are many, the
entire back hair should be slightly
twisted and brought directly on the top
of the head. forming French twist, the
ends being disposed of in loops, also on
top. with half a dozen shell pins to COM
plete the effect. With the catagon braid
or loop, which has been revived, and in
which the hair Is dressed from high to
low in the nape of the neck, naturally
wavy hair is required to give it the nee
essary fullness without materially in
creasing the weight. This couture may
be worn by ladies OF medium stature,
but is more becoming to taller women.
