 Let this second lock mske its first twist over the end of the hrss, and so the two are made one. Do ths same little trick with the third lock, which is about at the temple. Probably the next one is long enough 10 draw straight back over the ends of this little roll and into 6 roll made of the eide locka, which gives the needed fullness to the drawing pack of the hair just above the esrs. No matter how short the bang is at the forehead, this method will mske 1t behave itself, c de- gree of deftne.s only being required in msking the roll .eam an unbroken one, and the result is shown in this picture.
 Women beyond thirty five who are blessed with regular features are parting the hair In the center and combipg 1t straight back, exposing the temples. It makes one feel bit gsspy and as if in a drsught at first. but once the eye Is used to 1t certain beauty shows, and 1t ap. pears to add refinement and dignity. Hats are worn low on the forehead SO that the point at the parting of the hair does not show, and bonnets are chosen of the coronet type. FLoRETTK.
