the decorations, etc, must be entirely
confined to the flower in question.
A young girl gave a daisy lunch re-
Gently, where field daisies were the only
flowers used for decoration of table
and rooms. It was pretty and effective
and the arrangement of the flowers
most original.
The center-piece was low mass of
daisies and ferns; then all round the
table, just in front of the plates, was
a thick-very tdlick-wreath of daisies.
The menus were painted in punches of
daisies, and even the ices were in daisy
form. In the hall of the house large
punches of long-stemmed daisies, with
ferns from the woods were nassed; the
mantel-pieces were banked with them,
and to complete the idea of real
daisy lunch the young girl hostess wore
a. simple gown of fine white muslin
over a yellow slip, and a bunch of
daisies in her belt.
The whole effect was most charming.
On certain occasions the flower belt
will be worn. It is made of fine ar;&i-
4 fetal flowers, sewed on a piece of rib
I bon betting, and instead of fastening
with goid or silver buckle, is held to-
gether with one large artificial flower.
With the flower sprayed organdie
gowns these belts look extremely pref
". 1t is effective to have the flowers
which form the belt march with the
blossoms stamped on the organizes.
When roses are used tiny buds con-
sddute the belt, and in front, where
it fassens is a single full blown rose.
/ Velvet petaled pansies are much used
/ for these flower beIts, as well as tiny
chiffon peoples.
A woman should try to make the
very best of what hair she possesses,
and always dress it to the best possible
/ advantage. The dressing of a woman S
/ hair has a great deal to do with the
| charm of her appearance. An untidy,
| unkempt-looking head viii spoil the
! prettiest face, and ruin the general ap-
pearance Of the most daintily attired
maiden.
/ Hair should always be dressed to
suit the face it surrounds, and the
color and texture must also be constd-
cred. Many women follow the dictates
of fashion without considering whether
it suits them or not This is a great
mistake if they would wish to look at
/ tractive. What a woman should aim at
is to look pretty, not to be a. walking
fashion plate. However, if we are able
| to combine fashion and becomings, so
much the better Some faces require
the hair curled over the forehead, 9th
ers again look best with it waved
smoothly back. The hair should not
be drawn too tight, or be plastered
down, or too much twisted. If it is
trained back it looks as if it were be-
ing treated as an incumbrance, instead
of an ornament. A certain amount of
| freedom must be allowed to the hair
not only being right from an artistic
/ point of view, but for the good of the
hair itself. People with high and
prominent foreheads should on no ac-
count draw the hair tightly off the
face, or it will have a very ugly effect
Very small women should be careful
not to dress the hair in a manner which
/ tends to increase the size of the head
or lit will have the effect of making
the head look too large for the body.
A parting a little to one side has the ef-
/ feet of making one look years younger.
Up to sixty a well-preserved woman
can manage pretty well. She is still
! in the running, though at the tail of
! the race, and she makes herself ridicu-
/ lous if she tries to keep up with the
/ leaders But, unless she be distressing
4 ly stout-when she is not well-pre-
! served-she is catered for by the manu-
facturers Of woven goods, and she has
her share in the prettinesses of fashion
and the charms of society. Her trou-
bles begin when she is past so, and the
first miseries of old age are making
! themselves felt. Then she is forced to
/ acknowledge that society is closing it's
ranks against her and that her place is
narrowing daily. She is gradually fall
ing out of the running altogether, and,
like the stragglers of an army, is left
to solitude and desolation by the way
side She is nowhere in the calcula-
ton of the captains and commanders.
No fashions are made with reference
to her, and milliners and dressmakers
refuse to modify the current cut for
