CoiaeS a copy, and not always a

one word is the key to the mystery of
the fashionable locks and that is the be-
coming. 1t does not matter if it is outre.

Shape of the head, it has the sanction of
la mode. The horrible Psyche knot so
entirely unsuited to the modern head,
and which it is hard to believe even
the ancient ones, except in mar
bic, found becoming, has really never
peen absolutely good form. 1t was worn
at vnrst by one or two women who
wanted TO be conspicuous. Then an
actress adopted it and later on every
woman who lacked brains to think for
hefself arranged this protruding abomi-
talked about its being classical.
1t seems as if the woman who could
have a coitfure at once slightly bizarre
and yet suited to her is the one to be
envled. The American woman-that is,
the general woman-has an oval face
and head shaped to correspond. Con-
Sequently. the mode most becoming to
her consists in having her hair low
on the neck and with a broad effect.
Not just a tight narrow knot. but
either the soft hair itself, or if that will
not keep neat, the hair braided and ar
ranged crosswlse, so that it shows
slightly from the front and is very low
at the back. 1t is the prettiest when
fastened with small tortoise shell
pms. The front hair must then
be a fluffy short bang, that en-

but betting it look soft and rather loose.
She should wear as little hair as possi-
| bic, for all she requires is that the back
hair be drawn up in a French twist
and knotted so that length is gained

| across. This may be fastened down

but it must be very close to the head.
The rosebud who wears sailor hat and

braids her hair in fine pIeats. twists
it round and round, pinning it close to
the head, after the fashion of the Ger
man emigrant. This is smart morning
arrangement; it simply has tidy look,
quite suited to the get-up, but is not
| either becoming or in harmony with an
evening toilette.
A blonde woman whose hair only fell
| to her shoulders and who seemed to be
| utterly unable to arrange it in such a
way that it would make her slender face
look fuller, at last hit upon device
which not only satisfied her, but de-
| lighted the eyes of everybody else. Her
front hair was in the usual soft bang
| her back hair was slightly crimped
| almost to the ends, and there it was
curled on papers, about seven curls
being achieved. 1t was then brought
forward, fastended down with small
amber pins close to the bang,
| the curls being pulled out enough TO
show that they were curied, and yet SO
well fastened with invisible pins that
the effect was perfect. Looked at from
the back her head seemed a mass of
fluffy hair, that yetawas not untidy-
looking; from the front it seemed as if
above pair of beautiful gray eyes there
was an aureOle of wondrous golden
hair. Now there is no reason why every
woman, if she takes the trouble to
study it out, may not be equally as sue

self to certain type of face as we'll as
of general style and get-up.
The small gold pins are again fancied,
but women who are careful of their
hair do not approve of them as they do
of the she'll ones, for it seems as if the
precious metal had disinclination to
being made as smooth as a hairpln
should be. Fancy pins are the excep-
| ton rather than the rule-that is, the
long fancy pins, with the gem-studded
heads. The tiny combs, with lust a
band of gold scarcely thicker than a
hair for their tops, are used when the
! hair Is worn very low and some locks
are inclined to Straggle. The woman at
the seaside who is determined to look
neat and trim in the morning finds these
little combs great treasures.
Very often complaint is made that,
at the seaside, 1t is impossible to keep
the bang in order. Authorities having
been consulted, this is given as the rea-
