the color of their hair will no doubt he
glad to learn that powdered hair is
again to he in vogue. Not. OF course,
for daily wear, but for dinners and all
manner of dressy functions. The Of
feet is one that women have always
liked to emulate. and its appearance in
1897. together with host of other re-
vivals, will be hailed with delight.
Patches are, of course. the natural ac-
compartment of powdered hair, and
they have not been forgotten. The
woman whose white locks are piled CO.
quettishly on top of her head plans a
pretty contrast by scattering half a
dozen little black patches over her
cheeks and brow. The effect is still
further helped out If she chances ia
have dark eyes and eyebrows that are
slender dark curves. No French mar.
quise of olden time could look daintier
than the dame who manages her DOW
der and patches aesthetically.
