MODES OF HA1RDREssING.
Study the Face and Shape of the
Head and Dress the Hair in the
StyIe Most BecOming.

What becomes a woman's face so well as a
frame of her own silken tresses, especially
if they curl softly and lovingly about her brow
and ears and throat, as though their end ana
aim in life were to cling and nestle about
fair a resting place?
The hair should be trained to lend all its
shining sickness and possibilities to the glory
and attractiveness of milady's face, and it
should be carefully kept and coiffured with
eye always to the most becoming style
The Marie Antoinette mode of dressing the
hair is in full fashion this season. and If
the brow be smooth and low, and the shape
Of the head and face inclined to be classical
it is an altogether beautiful and becoming
arrangement
Women should study their faces and the
shape of the head and neck and find out
by repeated efforts the style of couture best
suited to conceal deficiencies and to accen-
tuate all good points Soft clustering, fluffy
styles are usually becoming to the majority
of women, the straight parting and perfectly
smooth drawing of the hair away from the
brow being very trying to any but the pure
Greek face. And in these retrousse, aquilne
and mixed" times and styles of features.
the goddess types are few and far between.
The woman with naturally curly locks should
be grateful forever more, for 1t is only her
straight-haired sister who understands what
anguish of spirit means, as she wrestles with
curling -tongs, "bandoline," kid rollers and
reeds, in a deep, desperate frame Of mind
that at times almost borders on lunacy
sweet, girlsh face looks especially lovely
when the hair is curled loosely and naturally,
and held in position by a plain bandeau,
like the girls in the picture. Soft curls
about the back of the neck are absolutely
necessary, to many women who are thin.
The English girls are wearing their hair
waved and drawn down over their ears, COM
pletely concealing them, after the manner of
the Botticelh couture in Paris. At the back
it is caught up in soft knot. The hair is
merely waved for this style, curls being
more in vogue when the couture is high on
top of the head
Great care should be taken to keep the hair
clean and glossy, and the scalp in a healthy
condition. Every three or four weeks the
oughly washed. &uinine is excellent
tonic promoting its growth more satisfac-
torily than almost any other remedy. But
1t has a tendency to darken the hair and,
unless you want the gold shaded" off your
locks, you would best be very careful as to
it's too frequent use.
Brushing the hair regularly at night Is
good. It grows glossy from this treatment,
since the oil cells are induced to freer ac-
ton by a vigorous brushing. When you
have finished, plat it loosely before you go
to bed. Red hair is, at present extremely
fashionable, and it seems pity that we
cannot keep all stylish colors ION tap" as
it were so we could appear in the prevailing
vogue on a moments notice. But place red
hair next to the majority Of eyes and COM
plexions, and-picture the result! The freak
museums would get the most of us!
Do not .'frizz' the hair. 1t only ruins it
in time. but it is rarely becoming to any
one. Indulge in curls and waves to your
hearts content, but draw the line on "friz-
zing.''
The small combs are still worn, but not
so much as a few months ago.
