DON'T USE HOT IRONS ON YOUR HAIR.
Young girls seem to have only two
modes of arranging the hair from which
to choose. 1t is unwise to use the iron OF
the crimping pin on the hair of growing
girls; the most fashionable women under
stand this; and insist that, until the debut
has been made, girl must wear her hair
in one of the two styles: 1t may be part
ed and braided in two plaits tied with
narrow ribbon, or it may be rolled off the
face braided in one plat, Topped and
tied with black ribbon after the Cado-
gan fashion. ...
NEW STYLE OF DRESSING THE HAIR.
Writing on dressing the hair, Isabel A.
Mallon, in September Ladies' Home Jour
nal, says that "a pretty and absolutely
new couture is the one that, while it rather
gives the blouse effect, really consists of
three deep waves that turn back, and
which are, of course, made by the iron.
At the back the hair is arranged in
double eight twist that showes well at the
sides, but does not rise above the top of
the head. Women who have very little
hair can tie it close to the head, fasten the
switch on by string drawn through it's
loop, which is the best way, and then,
pnning down their own hair close to the
head, arrange the switch to form the
double eight. Elderly ladies, especially
those whose hair has grown entirely white,
wear it oftenest in Pompadour roll
which requires a small pad under it, and
then in the back have a plated switch
carefully pinned to the hair in a loop-Hke
fashion. Many ladies who have reached
middle age or passed it adhere to the colt
fure selected as becoming when they were
young, and it must be confessed that there
is certain dignity about this. :"
