Paris says goes as long "a Fashion rules
the world.
And such coiffuresl Sweet simplicity
seems to be relegated to the background.
md the heads OF fashionable women bid
fair to become works Of art. In the mat
ter OF hair dressing, as ia everything else,
Marie Antoinette seems to be the domiTl-
sting spirit OF the modes OF the lay. al
though this style has its disadvantages,
for few OF vs. can successfully Initiate 10
without the aid of hair-drcsser, and as
II requires more abundant tresses than
most American women can boast. false
hair becomes a necessary evil. Then there
are all sorts of puffy little cushions and
wire contrivances that come into use, in

are more In vogue than ever. and are used
ct the front. side. back, In fact. all over
the head. from the little inch and half
combs that were used last year, 10 the
five and six inch affairs seen this season.
They are all variously ornamented and
filigreed and encrusted with diamonds
and ''rubies." and all sorts OF precious
stones. BY the way. leading hairdresser
tells me that the combs should be put in
with the teeth toward the face or the
neck, "a the case may be. in that way
they will pun the hair about the face and
not drag 10 back. The effect is wonder
fully different IL a woman has been wear

II is said IN criticism that the modern
painters are feeling the trend Of the new
woman idea 20 such an extent that women
In pictures are stronger In poise and bear

The art Of entertaining has come 10 bs
fine art these DAYS. As I'm everything
else originality Is the thing desired and
no matter what sort Of entertainment you
devise FOR the amusement OF your guests.
VI IL only has the charm OF novelty IL is
bound 70 be a success. Although card par
ties are still popular. the time has gone
BY when an evenings entertainment could
be simply limited 10 a game Of cards. and
now the greater part Of the evening is
given up to forms OF enjoyment permitting
OF more sociabllity.
Guessing parties IN ono form or another
are all tho rage. A very Interesting AFFAIR
OF this sort was recently given by the
daughters % this Revolution, doubtless
with a view OF perpetuating the memory
or the war for independence. Twenty-Five
weii-known events or the revolution. such
as thu Boston Tea Party" Washington
Crossing the Delaware" etc, were cloverly

on which 10 was expected 20 write the
answers. The one guessing the greatest
number correctly received a quaint cup
and saucer appropriately decorated With

and his home az Mount Vernon.
Another novelty introduced a, recent
AFFAIR vas called character party from
the fact that each guest upon entering tho
room had pinned upon his hack a bit Of
paper bearing The name o. some noted
