The Fashionable Couture.

New York Sun.
How to arrange the couture is not the
only problem in fashionable hairdressing in
these days, when color is such potent
factor in producing the up-to-date effect
and if you would be quite correct you must
invest in the red gold tint, which can
be had for the price at any first-class hair
dressers.
However necessary it may be to possess
this adorable shade, there is nothing which
so improves a womans appearance or dis
guises her apparent age as the becoming
disposition of her locks. no matter what
color they may chance to be- No univer-
sal mode of arranging the hair can be fol-
lowed If she would have artistic proportion
and bring out the best expression of her
face. So it is wise woman who studies
her own defects. The medley of modes in
hardressing which are seen this season are
certainly proof that women at least make
an attempt TO suit their coiffures to their
heads.
An extremely pretty fashion for those
who find 1t becoming is to wave the hair
slightly all around. like the heads in
classical sculpture, and arrange a SOFT
twisted knot directly at the back, a little
above the nape of the neck and fasten il
with fancy dagger pin. The mystery of
fashionable hairdressing is solved very eff
fectuaily at the hairdresSers, where there
are all SOrtS OF valuable aids In the form
of frisettes to give the desired pompadour
effects and help out the full puff at the
sides so much in vogue. These cushions
with additional puffs and fancy combs.
and, for evening dress, other ornamental
decorations of flowers, feathers ard ribbon
add much to the size of the head; but that
seems to be the one object fashion has in
view this season. The pompadour effect Is
decidedly the ruling style for evening dress
and the knot, which is arranged on the
crown of the head, must not tower any
higher than the front, the extra height be-
ing given by the feathers aigrettes and
bows The prettiest ornament worn is a
white aigrette, with diamonds here and
there set on tiny wires that tremble with
every move of the head The Marie An
tOinette couture, arranged with a large
bowknot at the back, is charming for some
women, and little bowknots of gold or sill
yer set with fancy stones are suitable or
naments. No one need 10 fear an excess of
decoration, for three or four sidecombs
and as many fancy pins are only a begin
ming toward the complete fashionable Golf
fure. Mercury wings in spangled gauze or
set with precious stones are very effective
when they crown a Madonna shaped face
and silver set with ordinary brilliants is
very snowy. a dainty decoration worn by
young ladies Is a narrow wreath of yioIets
or some fine flower. around the back hair
and fastened at the top with an upright
bow of white satin ribbon. The fashion
of waving the hair all around seems Ia
have come to stay, but ii must DE done in
the large soft waves, not the close crinkled
ones of last season.

Domestic Service.


We have watched with much interest the
signs in regard to Improvement in the state
of domestic service and among these signs
we have been glad to notice not a few
which are hopeful in their promise of better
results in the future than exists in the
present or have existed in the past. And
we are glad to see that there is an inclina-
ton on the part of those women most in
earnest in the establishment of better
condition of things, TO go to the root of the
trouble. The tendency of practical. philan-
thropical work i'm this scientific age is TO
ignore personalities and superficialities and
look for general and fundamental causes
and having found them to consider them
in relation to their results: then from this
study to involve ideas which, carried out
will bring about remedies. In the consider
alton of the subject of household service
in this special department of the field of
economics, il is true that women are taking
hold in the right way; and ii is a question
If the results of their efforts do not show
that they will manage the labor question,
eventually. with success. A determination
TO improve the character OF domestic serv-
ice has taken deep root in the minds Of
many of our best women, although COM
paratively little has been said about il.
Still waters. in this case. are running deeper
than the surface indicates And from what
we have gathered here and there know
that women are convinced that the time is
ripe for earnest effort and We are much
mistaken IT, at the end of the first ten
years of the next century, perhaps earlier
than that the entire system of domestic
service shall not have radically changed,
and shall be established on an entirely diff
ferent and more satisfactory basis result
ing in a marked benefit to labor as well as
TO capital. For. to the true philanthropic
person. the most satisfactory feature in the
effort of these earnest women is the kind
and unsefish consideration that they are
showing for the labor side of the problem.
More than any other question before the
public, this one OF domestic service mas
