should take away the "wimple, crisp ing pins, the mirrors, the hoods and the veils.''
 The Arab, the Persian and the Cau- casian are still satisfied with the coiffure they wore thousand years ago, and you will find them still with their crowns, turbans, veils and chains.
 The severer Greek disdained such tawdry adornings, and bound her glo- rious fair hair in a simple chignon, with the heavy waves carried back rather loosely, just covering the tips of her ears, and bound them with double fillet.
 The Roman matrons, too, were sedate and dignifed, with their cultures of waved hair, simple fllet and high placed chignon of hrails coiled on the crown. They varied this occasionally by putting mass of little curls about the forehead. A more elaborate ar, rangement was round chignon of plaits, tall frontal of small curls ris- Ing like diadem above the head, small, regular curls about the fore head, and three small ringlets in front of each ear.
 But the Roman matrons were but women, after all, severe as they seem to us; and after awhile we hear of their frizzing and dyeing, waving and tying their hair, making 1t into pretty bows, manufacturing to some extent; and, finally, of keeping several cultures on hand, ready to don at any moment.
 But some dissenters loved to pattern after the style of the vestal virgins, who yelled their locks, allowing only few to peep out about the forehead.
 It was in the twelfth century that the feminine portion of modern Europe awoke to the possibilities of the coif- lure. They began with long tresses floating over the shoulders, and held in place by simple head band. But their ideas with true western progress sion were quick to embrace more than one arrangement. Before the twelfth century had ended we find the tresses caught up in great loose net at the top of the head, hanging apparently from two brass knobs that were placed on the forehead over the ears. By what means this fantastic coiffure was in- duced to remain in place, we are left in ignorance.
 Almost more grotesque, however, was the steeplc head-dress, which is still occasionally seen in Normandy It reared itself to great height-from one and half to two feet--and a drapery of fine lawn Aoated from its

larger than an ordinary handkerchief, but more often it fell over the dress, and not seldom to the feet. This style was restricted to danes of high rank. The lower classes used cloth cap, with pieces sticking out on each side that resembled the ears of an ape. Addison tells us, in his Spectator, how, when Thomas Connecte launched his invectives against it from the sacred pulpit the women made great bon fire of them all-but no sooner was he gone than, like snails, they shot out their horns when the danger was over.
 Katherine of Aragon covered her hair with soft drapery, fastening it to diamond frame that pointed over her forehead, and was carried down each side of the face. Queen Mary "wore a curl that was so massive and ponder ous with gold and jewels that she was fain to bear up her head with her hand"
 It was not much later that the women adopted 8. wagon" headdress, which seemed most grotsque of all. It was made of gold threads, drawn by six dapple grays of blown glass, with coachman, postilion and gentlemen within. Of course only lady of quality could bear such a headdress with be- coming gravity. In moments of haste or excitement, her dignity must have most stolid of waiting maids would not be insensible to the ridiculous attitude of mistress who exclaimed, as poem of that period has it:
 "Nelly--where is the creature fled2
 Put my post-chaise upon my head"
 Some high danes preferred sailing to rolling with swift wheels along smooth paths, and these evolved from their coiffure wonderful ship, with flags flying and sails set
 After such absurdities, the women of to-day may fairly congratulate them selves upon their moderation. And yet 1t takes little more than breath to send them all flying in one direction. A beautiful actress will arrange curl ata fetching angle; and To! all woman- kind will adopt the fancy, whether be- coming or not.
 When Emma Eames, as Elsa, wears those wonderful braids, the whole world of women begins to plait and coil When Melba drops her hair in soft waves, in Carmen, all the irons that were laid away are again brought forth to manufacture the soft ringlets. When Sibyl Sanderson moves majestic ally about in clinging robes and simple Greek coiffure, all the world puts a fillet in it's hair; and when Bernhardt shakes out her locks in her Cleopatran moods, there is nothing to be done but regret that society will not permit the loose-falling tresses.
 But womanbind gets this benefit, at least, from all her impetuosity-that she need no longer follow any particu- lar fashion of arranging her hair. Most society women, indeed, pay scant cour- tesy to prevailing mode; and wear the same coiffure so long as it suits them.

down by the banks of the Nile and saw their fair faces reflected in its waters. Then they idly lifted their locks as the sun shone upon them and watched the pretty sparkle as it widened and heightened into uneven, brilliant spots on the waters surface. Then they tSined and coiled their ringlets and produced all sorts of fantastic effects.
 So the idea of the coiffure was born. The Egyptian didn't stop until she had evolved an elaborate arrangement that set her face in a frame of wondrous glossy braids, relieved by gold and jewels. She plaited her long black hair in innumerable small braids and tied two or three of the braids together with woolen strings. The braids hung over her shoulders and were bound to- gether about the head by a fillet of gold, set with precious stones. She
