THE ROMANTIC CURL.

The curl is a decided feature OF this sea-
sons couture. Net the curl in the mid
die Of the forehead or on the rape Of she
neck. either waved tress or frizstte, is meant
by this. but a round. glossy, cylindrical
curl. unbroken in outline and capable Of
"bobbing" in captivating fashion with each
mott-n Of the wearer "WeaTe-" Is he

pu1 on and do not grow on the heads they
ornament

fall in two or three ringlets. All this is
for the street, or a simple homo toilet, but
no evening couture TO be worn with full
dress will be complete without a curl or
two falling on the neck. Then, too. it must
be noted that extremely high hair dress
ing is altogether out" in no sse does
the couture tower above the forehead as
formerly. The crown OF the head rather
far back is where the center OF the coils
and pufs must be pitched. and evCry woman
who is her own hair dresser kncws the
importance OF getting this base OF opera
tions established in just the right spot.
II either too high or too low the result
Is disastrous.
The three or four inch long curl is a dis
tinctiye addition to an evening coinure It
enhances the fairness OF a pretty neck and
captivates the fancy. Twenty or thirty
years ago every young or fashionable woman
wore a solitary curl strayilS coquettishly
over her left shoulder OF brought over 10 the
front to wander among the jewels and lRces
on her corsage. The curls in those days
provided inspiration for susceptible poets,
and although the curl OF this season has
attained no great length, yet it indexes what
is 10 come, and il is safe TO predict that
the yerse-makers will again have a chance.
There is no denying that there is a charac-
ter expression in a curl one curl will be

nose and dropping; yet another audac!ous.
