DRESSING TIE HAIR.
Hints That May Prove of vaiue to Ladies
 in Arranging Their Presses.

Tn Arranging Ihetr Tresscs.
 There is more in the arrangement of the hair than 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 a 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 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 a 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 prevailing style in New York this winter. It requires long hair and is easy to arrange. Those wishing to become their own hair-dressers in ar ranging this stylish head-dress will ind 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 sligho- ly with small curling-irons. Cover the pompadour with light, pointed bang Take three or four ounce switch, very slightly crimped, made of hair 24 or 2s inches long and braided in three strands, and place 1t at the tie, falling two or three inches below the nape of the neck. Then pin the braid on the sides near the neck, so as to appear like two braids. Fasten a shell brooch so as to appear like the braids, flat 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. IT the hair is not long or thick enough to use a 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 shell bands are very fashionable. They are also useful in keeping the eurled front locks in place, and are be- coming to almost all faces. With the evening coiffure the feathery aigrettes, with quivering diamond drops, real or imitation, is the fayorite ornament For everyday wear shell-eombs and pins are mostly used. d.-Chicago Times.
