Hints That May Prove of Value to Ladies
in Arranging Their Tresses.
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 couture 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
mt are now so beautiful and naturally
made that they cause no discomfort w

The high and low couture, at present
the reigning style. which consists Of
two long braids reaching from the top
OF the head to below the nape o; the
neck. is an extremely neat and practi-
cal arrangement, admirably adapted for
every day wear, and is much favored bS
ladies who prefer couture, while at
the same time desiring a mo, est head
dress.
For full-dress occasions the more elab-
crate is universally adopted. The latest
style couture combines unusual grace
with the highest form of simplicity.
This couture is now worn in Paris. and
will be the prevailing style in New York
this winter. 1t requires long hair and
is easy to arrange. Those wishing tc
become their own hair-dressers in ar
ranging this stylish head-dress will 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 pompadoul
roll in front and cover it with the from
hair, waving the hair on temples slight

pompadour with light, pointed bang
Take three or four ounce switch, very
slightly crimped. made of hair "a or q
inches long and braided in three strands
and place it at the tie, falling two o

braids, fat to the head. A bow of rib
bon, not too large, can be used for tina
purpose, but the shell brooch should b.
recommended. as it really forms part o
the style. With the hair of the head
couple of fiat loops can be arranged t.
cover the top of the braid and meet tn,
