condition of every organ depends. Good

Lady Helen Stewart. a fashion-lead-
er OF England. has decreed that So
ciety--that Is. the feminine element
must part its hair on the side or ex-
pose the forehead guiltless OF coquet-
tish eurIs. says the Philadelphia Press.
And fashion-that is, in England

ton.
while the American girl would look
with horror on this unfeminins coifIeur
for her adoption, yet she gives a sigh
OF relief when she thinks that maybe
Lady Helen's example viii take effect
among the world of Britain's elect.
That frightful. ourled, frizzled bang
that the princess of Wales insists up
on retaining has spoiled the faces of
many women who might otherwise
have been called pretty.
| shall never forget once seeing a
famous English actress make her toilet
for reception. She had invited me
to her room. She was combing her
mass OF yellow hair down over her
eyes and thought 1t was only trick
of getting her back hair out OF tangles.
Judge of my surprise when she friSzed
up this mass with the comb as one
does feathers with a knife and let it
hang in front
On went the ever-present English
toque over this heroic bang and l did
not wonder that bellboys stared
But she was only arranging her hair
ms all OF her set do. Therefore let
every lover of beauty hope that even
the formality of Lady Helen's plain
forehead may make Roadway against
the untidy, unbecoming eoiffeurs of the
women of the English nobility.
What change the sleek. well-groom-
ed head Of the American girl must be
