NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-What wonderful
amount of attention we give our tresses of
late! Almost every woman we meet has q
plan of her own for caring for her looks.
which she will give you In minutess detail
and implore you to follow. Almost every
periodical We pick up has note in the wo-
mans column on "How TO treat hair" and
I IL seems as if a genuine reaction has set in.
/ Last season and the season before and the
one before that we ruthlessly and rscklessy
curled aud waved cur hair to the greatest
possible extent. The front, the back and the
sides Of our head ell presented a beautl-
full crinkly appearance that was
most dear TO our hearts. Any lit
| tie stray pieces we could discover were sub
jected to the same process-the heated iron
was produced aud the lock wound firmly
around /: until it lost all vesig e of Its original
appearance. And we pursued our mad
course until one fine morning, when we
awoke to the fact that our wavy locks were
! falling away; that it would not be long be-
fore they utterly disappeared il we did not
soon call a halt. Instead Of getting longer,
our tresses were really, in some strange.

| didn't seem possible at first. but actual
measurement proved it to be q fact
! Then came the resolve, which has been
so steadily adhered TO ever siEce. We de-
termiued to renounce our Curls forever and
! strive after the smooth, glossy, satiny sp-
pearance of the hair of our grandmothers.
| The curling irons were pushed aside In utter
| contempt and stiff brush was brought out
| from its long retirement. Every one told
Us to brush, and brush we did. and brush
We do still, and brush we shall until that
| gloss appears. When it comes well brush
| TO keep it there. Then, OF course, we use
all the washes and dry rubbiDgs as we'll, to
help on the good work.
There's another factor in the operation.
aud no mean one, l assure you. A night
cap, girls, is the very thing we want. Don't
shrink back at the word; you don't know
how pretty and charming a nightcap may
be made, if you haven't tried Silk must
| be the material, for silk softens the hair
wonderfully. Muslin will never add the
soft sheen to your tresses that silk will. So
| get pretty cap, all ruffies and ribbons and
| O little lace, and wear il faithfully all year
round. And you'll be rewarded when you
| pass your hand over the smooth locks, and
| find them growing smoother daily. Put
your hair back bravely. Don't mind if it
doesn't look pretty at first. II you want to
be oonsOled for your appearance, just look
at your neighbours hair, ami you viii in ell
probability find that she is pursuing the
same course as you, with the same result.
| How shall we arrange our hair when it
has been satisfactorily polishedi There
seems to be great lAxity this season in the
regulations regarding style. There is not,
as so often, one fashion that every woman
follows, be it becoming or nc. Women
wear their hair high or in the middle OF the
| head, as they are disposed. The neck coils
seem to have departed this life completely.
| The empire is pretty and popular. Gather
| your hair together at the crown Of the head
| and festen it. Put q small 6llet around the
fastening. Then dispose of the ends ia
putfs and coils, keeping all closely together.
or course this is difficult when one is IA
vored with luxuriant locks, but it is very
convenient for Short thin ones, that do
scarcely more than meet when gathered to-
gether.
Or the hair can be gathered in the same
way and then disposed of in three thick
loops, the top one very large and reaching
up we'll on the top Of the head, the others
falling down toward the back; then the
ends are made into two big loops below
the others and pin stuck through the
whole.
Braids are very popular indeed, aud may
be arranged in almost any way one pleases
| SO long as they don't get too near the neck.
1t is we'll to start all arrangements by gath
ering together or twisting the hair at the
top of the head. Then you are free to go
ahead.
If you have a great deal of hair, pretty
way to fix it is TO divide it after fastening
into two. Then braid each half into a loose
braid of four strands aud lay it around
your head in such manner that it will be
quite broad and high on top, gradually
| sloDing in and narrowing as it gets down
| the back.
All. but there's nothing prettier than the
| smooth, shiny hair parted in the middle of
the head, coInbed down over the brows, and
then brought around to the back If 1t is
becoming to you, by all means adopt it, If
| 1t Is not, De wise and let it alone. Here one
| is allowed more latitude. For the bair NAV
| be gathered quite low at the back aud may
be waved very little at the side. II there
| is any natural wave in your hair then let
| the little looks cluster abous your ears, and
there's nothing more bew1tchtng than this
mode of arranging.
IL you are very young you may wear
| your hair at the nspe Of the neck with per-
| feet propriety.
All the pretty ornaments and combs used
| now lend added charm to "woman's crown
| ing loneliness" The fine gold hands, with
pretty ornaments standing up in the center,
with ribbon bows, or aigrettes added, cover
a multitude of sins, and even if a woman
hasn't the prettiest hair in the world or the
best-shaped head, she can easily cover def
c1encies by a few graceful pins, q tiara Of
brtlliants or some other pretty ornaments
| tion.
Another way to arrange q very short head
OF hair is to roll it in one large. single puff
at the crown of the head, catch the puff
down by very small band, and have a
profuse bunch of aigrettes standing cut OF
the middle of it. Below the aigrettes put in
| pretty side comb.
Or you may coil your head at the back
| rather high, and then cover the top of the
head with a low, spreading mass of flowers,
Plumes are very becoming, standing a
little to one side OF high couture But In
coifures, as in almost everything this win
| ter, one may suit herself to a large extent.
using any or q large number OF ornamental
tons to make up the lovely effects. But if
you draw your hair back from your fore
head be careful when you fasten it to see
that ii is not tight. for soft, loose effect
