EssHG THE HAIR.

Prove of Value TO Ladies
ing Their Tresses.
L..r. -..3 in the arrangement of
.- hair ..a most ladies realize. Every
lady should study her own features, and
unless she possesses face of marvellous
beauty she will at once perceive that
the entire effect of her countenance is
changed by the manner in which her
hair is dressed. In coiffure she may
appear handsome, or at least stylish;
with her hair combed plainly back,
positively ugly, and as American ladies
are blessed with fine, beautiful hair,
with the new and extremely graceful
modes which our artistic hair-dressers
are constantly displaying, there is no
reason why every woman, regardless of
her age, should not make the most of
her looks and always appear at her best.
Those who are deficient in capillary
wealth can easily remedy that misfort-
une by adding a Switch" and none
save their hair-dresser will be the
wiser, and both these and the bangs
or front pieces so much in favor at pres
ent are now so beautiful and naturally
made that they cause no discomfort to
the wearer and defy detection.
The high and low coiffure, at present
the reigning style, which consists of
two long braids reaching from the top
of the head to below the nape of the
neck, is an extremely neat and practi-
cal arrangement, admirably adapted for
everyday wear, and is much favored by
ladies who prefer a coiffure, while at
the same time desiring modest head
dress.
For full-dress occasions the more elab-
crate is universally adopted. The latest
style coiffure combines unusual grace
with the highest form of simplicity.
This coiffure is now worn in Paris, and
will be the prevailinr style in New York
Jhis winter. ~ requires long hair and
is easy to ar 1ge. Those wishing TO
become their .wu bair-dressers in ar
ranging this s ish hoad-dress viii find
the sUbjoined directions of eminent
service.
Divide the front hair from the back,
from ear to ear, about three inches from
forehead; tie the back hair about two
inches below crown; place pompadour
roll in front and cover it with the front
hair, waving the hair on temples slight
ly with small curling-irons. Cover the
pompadour with light, pointed bang.
Take a three or four ounce switch, very
slightly crimped, made of hair "a or %
inches long and braided in three strands,
and place it at the tie, falling two or
three inches below the nape of
the neck. Then pin the braid on
the sides nnear the neck, so as
to appear like two braids. Fasten a
she'll brooch so as to appear like the
braids, fat to the head. A bow of rib
bon, not too large, can be used for that
purpose, but the shell brooch should be
recommended, as it really forms part OF
the style. With the hair of the head
couple of fiat loops can be arranged to
cover the top of the braid and meet the
back of the pointed bang. If the hair
is not long or thick enough to use
couple of waved points will do better,
fastened on the head with large loop
shell pins.
Fancy pins and combs are much used
when the hair is coiled, and loops OF
fairy tulle fastened to a pin appear
among the coils and curls. Gold, silver
and she'll bands are very fashionable.
They are also useful in keeping the
curled front locks in place, and are be-
coming to almost all faces. With the
evening coiffLre the feathery aigrettes,
with quivering diamond drops, real or
imitation, is the favorite ornament.
For everyday wear shell-com0s and
pins are mostly used, Chicago Times,
