nothing half so elaborate as you VIII see

A great many wCmen acquire pleasing
individuality by adopting and sticking to
q becoming style Of hair dress all through
life. Such may lie ,he outcome of this new
fad.
Nine Louise, of celebrated hat fame,

semblance to the old, well i-known pastel

German galleries. Her friends attributed
ali of her success 10 her attractive ap-
pearance that was so charmingly origi-
nal and quaint. Her success financially
was followed by great Social sucress. Her
salon vas attended by the foremost peo-
pie of the day, and her ohicfcst charm
was the charming originality Of her ap-
pedrance.
Until her death she affected the Countess
potocka coiffure, and every man, wol.an
and child in Paris knew Nine. Louise at
sight.
Cleo Merodc is another Partisan whose
Coifrure has had much to do with her great
success III Paris. 1t was she who first
started the fashion of parting her hair IN
the middle and bringing ii down quite over
her ears. 1t was such an unusual style
that it called attention To her pretty young
ruce that might have passed upnotIced, fol
it was not striking type. For three years
now she hIS Worn NeT llalT IN lliS style
and TO abandon it now would mean to give
up TO a great extent her Individuality.
The French people have always beer
fond of rolling Tie hair back from th'

over the roll and twist the hair into
knot at the crown of the head. 1t is
rather becoming to short, small faces
that arrangement, hut when the face il
broad and the foisaead high il is mos
trying.
For broad, plump face the Merod
oaIlfure is particularly becoming. 1h'

front are waved just enough Ia softe

AT the back the hair is criled into
knot that is far from being flat. Debu
tantes. even those who own tiara, vii
choose this style. For faces that are II
longer young u colffurc with the hal
flaffed or draped quite over the temple
Is always becoming and softening. tn
temples are always such telltales o
years. The coiffure that is most cffccte
by the matrons here and one that look
particularly well when the hair is turnin
Is high knot. The hair is drawn loosel
