Partisan Styles for House and
Street Dress.

shaped, as a rule, for low c%oiffures.
The hair is dressed rather loosely, and
gives as natural an appearance as pos
sible.
With the short, pulled sleeve, round
wasted bodice and befrilled skirts, 9
bygone fashion of dressing the hair is
being attempted by quite young
women. Little curls in d cluster are
arranged at each side OF the head,
kept back by the little side combs
with jewelled or fancy tips, used in
olden days, while the rest of the hair
is combed upward and plated or
coiled in a crown at the top of the
head. TO some faces this style is be-
coming, especially ii a few feathery
curls are carried across the forehead.
The fashion of copying an old family
picture and dressing after it, if n Is
considered like the original, seems to
be quite the thing.
When the hair is worn high it is
often crimped, or waved in the neck,
to give a full effect to the back OF the
head, for the French twist is not
much used, except when the hair is
too thin to be taken straight up with
a good effect. The hair is then ar
ranged in fluffy looking putfs, or
| coiled around in a light pyramid, with
ornaments OF gilt and jewelled pins,
combs, or for dressy occasions flowers
or feathers. The front hair is cut
short on the temples, and either forms
a light pointed bang or is curled in
light Recamier curls, falling to the
centre of the forehead.
The quantity of hair, cut short over
the brow, is small in width and thick
ness, as it must look natural; the
false pieces cannot be made of a small
quantity, which always gives the idea
of additional hair, M matter how
we'll and becomingly the piece may be
arranged. For ordinary wear the
| couture is a loose twist of hair or a
coil of braids with the toques or
round hats, yet for the o~pen-crowned
theatre bonnets a higher arrangement
is needed.

from the crown or the neck, when

under, which style gives an air OF dis
tinction to a small, w~ell-shaped head.
A very stylish rope-twist arrangement
consists of a long-shaped coil of braids
from the neck nearly to the crown of
the head, and held by long shell hair
pins. Short-cropped heads are out of
style. Individual tastes are largely
| followed, and this is very sensible, for
one should wear what is becoming,
regardless Of Style.
The following manner of dressing
the hair is very becoming to a person
with a long neck. The front hair is
| dressed in short locks loosely eurled
over the brow, while the back part is
in a short lengthwise braid below a
puffy knot on the crown of the head
with a long, loose curl on either side,
hanging low on the neck.
Here is a simple style for persons
possessing curly hair. The front hair
has a slightly curly fringe falling over
the forehead with the wavy sides
combed back and fastened under the
back part, which falls in loose curls,
caught by a curved comb. or course,
this couture is only suitable for home
or evening wear, as grown people no
longer wear flowing curls in the street,
no matter how lovely the hair may be.
Brushing the hair makes it glossy,
helps to keep the scalp free from
dandruff, and is thought to promote
its growth. Shalnpooing with borax
or alcohol in the water removes dan
druff; but if borax is used, one should
use very little and not often, as it
turns the hair gray If too strong. A

harmless. A quinine tonic is also ex-
cellent for cleaning the head and
strengthening the hair. --PhSIG1elphSG

Anti-Sissing Societies for Women.
There is one joke on women. which
appears in the same column with the
mother-in-law and spring bonnet
business, which is Unsuitable and well
aimed. This is in regard to the fool
ish habit Of kissing which prevails
among IN 1t is hard to see why
it is done. If you ask ON about
it, one in four will tell you that she
does not like it and would like to drop
it, but that they expect it, you
know Indeed, so far has the objec-
| ton to indiscriminate kissing among
women gone that there are anti-kiss-
ing societies in many places; the
women who belong pledging them
selves not to kiss any woman in pub
lie, and only those whom they really
care for in private.-4he H~omSekeepeS.
Tho Wrong Cat.
A Milwaukee avenne barber Is a
fine taxidermist. While not engaged
in shaving faces or cutting hair the
tonsorial artist devotes his spare time
to stufiing birds and such animals as
may be brought in for him to operate
on. la this work he CLEANS a number
of silver dollars and swells his bank
account considerably. His next door
neighbor is a secondhand clothes
dealer, and, in a small way, furrier.
The furrier is a man of ideas. He Inn
agined that it would be a fine thing
to have an animal mounted in front
of his store, by way of a sign or at
attraction. He could not afford to
pay for a tiger, nor did he wish to in
vest in either a black or O polar bear.
So in his extremity he consulted the
barber.
