Long Hair ana More Elaborate Couture
VIII Now Reign Supreme.


VIII Now Reign Supreme.
That woman's hair is her chief or.
nament goes without saying. and VIC
think 1t may be truthfully added, that
every woman whom nature has blessed
with fine head Of hair knows it, aud
Is justly proud of her possession. Fur
thermore, she exemplifies the fact by
invariably informing her female friends
that it is "all her own" in dressing II
to the best advantage that the prevail
ing fashion will admit.
Unfortunately, Of late years the fash
Ions have been so simplified that how
ever abundant and beautiful the hair,
its owner could not, without rendering
herself conspicuous, display it in a
manner consistent with its beauty or
her own good taste, u deficiency which,
1t is 10 be hoped, the now regime in
Embarrassing will speedily remedy.
The heavy plaits, pulls and flowing
curls in vogue several decades back
embraced several varieties which gave
ample scope TO feminine taste, and
ladies were thus enabled to arrange
their hair in accordance with the
shape of their heads and the cast OF
their features. But these styles gradu-
ally decreased, each succeeding year
bringing in simpler ideas, until moth
Ing remained beyond tho plain black
ntnh hnu
ingly dubbed it, the "doorknob twist, "
and shingled bang shading the foro-
head.
Happily, fashion, which so often die
tates the fantastic and strange, relent-
lessly overruling good taste, has ruled
out short hair and decreed that, long
hair, couture more elaborate and
better sSited TO the beautiful costumes
of the day, shall be worn, and it is to
be hoped tho abbreviated and inartistic
styles of the past few years will fall
into the utter oblivion they deserve.
The new couture which now comes
in with all the freshness Of pleasing
variety, is as simple of arrangement
as it is graceful and becoming, and, it
is needless to add, has been universal
ly accepted.
To ladies wishing to dress their hair
In this style, the subjoined directions
will be found useful:
list. Twist all the hair at the top of
the head almost close to the forehead,
place good-sized "front piece"
dressed in loose, fluffy rings, pointed
Mt the forehead, over tho twist, so as
to raise it high toward the crown.
I'd. The back couture is dressed with
the three strands, viz: Take one of
tho strands, make plain knot and
place in center, so that the curly ends
just reach tho neck; tho two other
are twisted loosely in the
shape of ''rope twist" and placed
around the knot in center, just above
the curls, near the neck; shape them
SO as TO give long and narrow effect
TO the couture; the ends, which are
curled, are divided in loose rings, and
with the curls of the front
piece. The same couture can be done
with an ordinary switch OF three
strands, and tho little curla above the
neck and on the top crown can be done
with pin curls, ornamented with the
new and beautiful little shell combs
devised expressly for this coifTure, or
with any of the numerous fancies in
pins of amber, jet, shell, or the moro
brilliant and jeweled ornaments adapt
I'd to evening dress.-M Y. Mall and
