the image Of "a box with a projection

across the room and placed 1t before a
wardrobe. She mounted the chair and,

found the box. with the carving knife
extending at AN angle above the rest of

how TO ARRANGE TIE HAIR.
Becoming Methods of Preparing Rici
Crowns OF Glory.

Becoming Methods of Preparing Rich
Crowns of Glory.
There is no reason in the world why
every woman should not wear her hair
in a pretty, becoming fashion. The
styles are many, affording wide field
for experiment, and when by either ac-
cident or design becoming arrange
ment is effected it should be individual
izsd and then worn in that way all the
time, Should q little unusual ela0ora-
ton be desired, twist OF ribbon round
the knot, a bow, or jeweled aigrette
placed where IL will show TO the best
advantage will make all the change
necessary, aud prove much more salts
factory than an attempt TO startle the
world by appearing before it in unique
couture, which may happen to be In
style, but which NAV be as unbecoming
as it IS fashionable.
One OF the prettiest arrangements Is
known as the rope coil, and is easily
constructed as we'll as generally becom-
ing. If the forehead is somewhat high
one cannot dispense with q suggestion
OF bang, and therefore few short locks
fall lightly over the brow. The hair is
then drawn back very softly and mid
way on the head il is turned and made
into loop very much like the Psyche
knot, about which is made round out
line. The ends are rolled and twisted.
The woman whose "crowning glory"
is very dark in color should never have
IL either or Inkled or friZZy. II possible
IL should be worn quite plain, but II
that is too trying, loosely waved Lands
may be- used
Blonde and brown haired lasses are at
liberty TO curl and crimp TO their hearts
desire, but they must remember that
bangs" are relegated TO the past. The
mode of to-day permits, when 1t seems
necessary. a soft fringe, but it must be
an extremely light and short one, allow
ing the forehead TO show.
A pretty example OF the crImp and
curl arrangement is made by carefully
parting and waving the hair over the
head and drawing loosely down over the
ears. At the back 1t is very softly coll
ed and the ends turned over in a puff
low on the neck, where it is held by a
shell or silver dagger. An effective
decoration for this is made OF two ban
deaux of ribbon with star or crescent
OF brilliants fastened to the one banding
the forehead.
