n fashionable way of dressing the hair,
4ays the Erening Post, is to bring it up
4ron the neck to the top of the head, keep
$rn it quite to the back. Then dress it in a
thick coil like birds nest. The extreme
BINDS of the hair are then drawn through
fhe coil. frizzed, and combed out, forming
4 sort Of tuft, and dagger or jewel-headed
bin is thrust in by way of finish. This
method of dressing the hair resembles that
been in engravings of ancient Greek statues.
Another mode is that of turning the fore
head locks back, leaving them loose to

rest of the hair is combed to the top
bf the head, coiled once, then the ends are
divided into several strands made into softly
Tapping coils, which round like tiny rings
beneath tue edge of the single coil; each
hing is caught to the large coil with small
6eweled hairpin. When the head is well
Shaped and the features fairly regular, this
fashion of dressing the hair is very pretty.
DIT has neat appearance, quite distinct
from the familiar fuzzy head of fashion.
This smoother style has novelty to command
1t and when it happens to suit pretty face,
it is decidedly chic. Long hairpins are re-
buried to fasten the coils securely.
There are no more graceful curves in a
woman's body than those which start from
the nape of the neck. says the Boston Hers
uld. There is an artist in New York In
whose pictures almost invariably appears a
female figure SO posed as to bring out some
cf these charming lines. He turns this
model back to him, and sketches with only
q glimpse Of face, just where the curve of
cheek breaks to the fullness of chin, or he
puts world of coquetry into glances, which
one must fancy accompanied by birdlike
chirpings over the shoulder. He delights in
the white column of a Juno or the clear
podeled, fine reserve of a fugitive nymph,
t&f always ne starts with the lack of the
GeSK, and the rest comes as best may. The
back of the neck is not only bealtiful, it is
beautiful.
When the ladies of the Chinese legation
at Washington go out on the street for a
walk they are objects of universal atten-
ton, says the New York Ledqer. Their
poor little feet are mere scraps, and they
cannot walk, but hobble along like cripples,
clinging to a friendly fence or post if thew
are jostled, and sometimes tumbling all to-
gether like row OF bricks. They never
go singly, and rarely extend their walk
beyond sight of their own home, A ser
want stands in the front of the
legation house-he is an Irishman
by the way-and keeps a watchful eve
on all their movements so long as they are
In the street. They DO not walk abreast lest
one should fall and upset the Others. Thew
are rudy Of cheek aud bright and pleasant
to look upon, and they appear TO be crack
Ing stupendous Chinese jokes about the
passers-by who stare at them too rudelv.
These aristocratic ladies are so clumsy with
their fat hands and little feet, that they are
quite upable to dress themselves, but re-
qulre the constant service of maid. They
appear to greatly enjoy the freedom of their
American life.
