A woman anxious to improve her ap-
pearance cannot de better than study
the arrangement Of her hair. The &C
eompanying sketches will show how
Dame Fashion intends the hair to be
arranged during the, reign Of fluffy,
thin gowns. With the pompadour Golf
fure the fair hair forms sort of
aureole in soft waEy puffs, with only
one stray love lock as a relief, while at
the back is softly twisted narrow coil
between two side combs; the head with
the hand bandelette parted and dressed
low on the forehead and caught at the
back of the head, where the hair is
twined into a series Of coils, reaching
almost to the crown. Last of ALL but
by no means least, is an ideal coiffure
Tor woman who has said farewell to
her youth. Nothing is so becoming
as gray locks sl1illfuliy treated, and
that Is why in the olden times even the
youngest and fairest powdered their
hair or wore white wigs to enhance
their beauty. In the coiffure illus
tfated the softly waved locks are parted
In the center and drawn up high at the
sides, where the side locks are divided
from the coil and twisted back by side
combs.
One very chic style for those who
still find the bangs most becoming is
to dress the hair high in front and leave
the sides almost plain, while the back
is arranged in coils and twists which
fall low on the neck. For fair-haired
woman the hair is curled high in front
and slightly waved at the sides, while
from the loosely twisted back two little
curls fall on the neck with exceeding
pretty effect.
In the last costume Illustrated, black
satin is the material employed to make
the coat. The sleeves are immense,
and full from the shoulder to the elbow,
but quite tightly fitting from elbow to
wrist, where they are finished with stiff
ened frills Of finely pleated black NOUS
seline de sole. The box pleats on either
side in front hang gracefully, the full
ness being held in place by jetted orna-
ments, while the throat is finished
with full frill and jabot Of the NOUS
seline de sole. There are pleats at the
back also, while the lining Of the coat is
a delicious shade Of pink.

THE ART OF WALKING.
The Rustic Gait as Initiated by
DaSe.


"Have you ever noticed" commented
a man, ''hoW women put down their
feet as they walk toward you on the
street, and how they almost always
show the soles of their shoes in an
ugly, heel-first, slap-me-d sort of
fashion? Not.gone in fifty, or even a
hundred, puts .deWn her feet gracefully.
and yet every child that goes to dane
ing school is told over and over again
by her dancing master to point the toes
and put them down first" The habit
Of putting down the heels first is called
the peasants walk" as it is essen
TALLY bourgeois in it's character. Duse,
as Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana,' -
initiates this walk admirably "But do
you KNOW" said a fashionable woman,
who was watching the actress and had
heard this particular gait discussed,
''that is exactly the way walk my
self" and the friend who was with her
could not gainsay her, for the lady was
not noticeable for her graceful car
riage.
1t is great pity that the art Of
walking is not taught as persistentiy
and carefully as dancing. 1t seems to
be an accepted idea that if a child
learns to dance well grace will natur-
ally follow, and that the improvement
will be general, but this is by no means
the case. Aptitude at dancing by no
means argues that good carriage and
graceful walk will be developed, and 1t
will be only by making this part of the
physical education a separate and par
ticuIar study that satisfactory results
will be obtained

Christening the Baby.

Christening the baby is becoming almost
as important in the list of societys functions
as the marrying Of the favorite daughter of
rich family.
1t may be that just at the present moment
there is an unusually large number of fash
icnable babies, although recently prepared
statistics go to show that the wealthy class
have fewer children than formerly, while
the poorer people have even more than usual.
II these statistics are true, they mean that
the breach will be stiil further widened be-
tween the poor and rich, but that has moth
ing to do with the story.
Certain it is that as much pomp and prep
aration surround the christening of the new
fashioable baby as IL 1t were the sovereign
heir to some rich kingdom in the old world.
1t may be nothing more than a new excuse
for the smart world to don it's fine clothes
and exhibit its inery to less fortunate folks.
To be invited to a christening means for the
young girl brand-new gown, for il she ap-
peared otherwise it would be regarded as an
nffront by the host and hostess.

1t Is Now the Thing to Use COIOred
Blossoms With Lilies for Eas-

For flowers, look in the florists win
dows uptown, says the New York Re-
corder. There are banks of Easter lilies.
Not niggardly assortment of them, but
lilies, like a white veil dropped down
the window pane. The veil is caught
back at the side where the lilies stand
upon a shelf. They make cloud of
Easter whiteness. The idea is to get
as many as possible in that small win
dow space.
Some Of these lilies are ordered. In
a few days they go out They are
being kept in the florists window to
accustom them to the change from
the hothouse, and to wait for the time
of their delivery. In few days they
will be loaded into wagons and car

TO TRAIN THE HAIR,
How CurIs Have Been Produced.

"The raison d'etre given of things
that are. is sometimes very funny"
remarked a society girl lately. "It is
astonishing. for instance, how many
people have acquired curly hair of late
years. 1 know one woman who had
straight hair all her life, and now it
is really curly, not crimped looking in
the least, either, but naturally wavy,
with irregular little r1ppIes all around
her forehead-just the effect I have
tried over and over again to produce

according to her story, she was caught
out in thunderstorm last year, and

soaked through, and when she got

SOME NOVEL AND ARTISTIC LAMPS.
Possibilities in This Line of Many
Familiar Bits of Bric-a-Brac,

In these. days, when everything from an ink
bottle to a tea-caddy is utilized for a lamp
foundation, with, too, it must be admitted,
varying success, a really graceful novelty is
not to be overlooked. Such one, seen recent
ly, was a lamp evolved from an Italian wine
bottle. Into the long, slender neck of large
wicker bodied Chianti flask was inserted one
OF the delicate glass lamp bulbs to be found in
the leading shops The shade, most har-
monious accompaniment to this effective con-
ceit was of fine sprigged muslin gathered very
full over lining of white silk. The gay red
and blue silk pompoms which the Italian
manufacturer; with his native love of color,
never fails to fasten to the wicker casing of
his wine bottle, were left, and afforded the
only brilliant tones in the dainty novelty
Another lamp to be desired. seen in a
studio noted for, its fascinating collection of
old brasses and glass, was fashioned of one
of the brass milk cans which are among the
finds of Holland. The can had been slightly
beaten and highly polished, and into it's four
inch neck was fitted lamp fount. A yellow
silk shade added the finishing touch.
In the den Of bachelor a foundation for a
lamp has been laid with three Turkish dag
gers. Their handles, resting on the table. the

ribbon strings, and no other trimming
but double Alsatian bow richly en-

resuscitated, and people will no doubt
return to their old love of it.
