Dress the Hair in the Style That Is Most
Becoming.
What becomes a woman's face SO well
as a. frame of her own silien tresses, es-
pecially if they curl softly and lovingly
about her brow and ears and throat, As
though their end and aim in life was to
cling and nestle about so fair resting
place?
The hair should be trained to. lend all
it's shining sickness and possibilities
to the glory and attractiveness of mi
lady's face, and it should be careful
ly kept and coiffured with an eye al
ways to the most becoming style.
The Marie Antoinette mode of dressing
the hair is in full fashion this season,
and if the brow be smooth and low, and
the shape of the head and face inclined
to be classical. it is an altogether beau
tiful and becoming arrangement.
Women should study their faces and the
shape of the head and neck, and find
out, by repeated efforts, the style of
coiffure best suited to conceal deficien
cies and to accentuate all good points.
Soft, clustering, fluffy styles are usu
ally becoming to the majority of wom-
en-, the straight parting and perfectly
smooth drawing of the hair away from
the brow being very trying to any but
the pure Greek face. And in these re-
trousse, aquiline and mixed times
and styles of features, the goddess
types are few and far between. The
woman with naturally curly locks
should be grateful forever more, for it
is only her straightforward sister who
understands what anguish of spirit
means, as she wrestles with curling
tongs, "bandoline," kid rollers and
reeds, in a deep, desperate frame of
mind that at times almost borders on
lunacy.
A sweet, girlish face looks especially
lovely when the hair is curled loosely
and naturally, and held in position by
plain bandeau. Soft curls about the
back of the neck are absolutely neces-
sary to women who are thin.
The English girls are wearing their
hair waved and drawn down over their
ears, completely concealing them, after
the manner of the Botticelli coiffure, in
Paris. At the back it is caught up in a
soft knot. The hair is merely waved
for this style, curls being more in
vogue when the coiffure is high on top
of the head.
Great care should be taken to keep
the hair clean and glossy and the scalp
in healthy condition. Every three OF
four weeks the ends should be singed
off and the hair thoroughly washed.
Quinine is an excellent tonic, promot-
ing its growth more satisfactorily
than almost any other remedy. But ii
has a tendency to darken the hair, and,
unless you want the gold Shaded" off
your locks, you would best be very care
full as to its too frequentuse
Brushing the hair regularly at night
is good. 1t grows glossy from this
treatment, since the oil cells are in
duced to freer action by vigorous
brushing. When you have finished,
plait it loosely before you go to bed.
Red hair is, at present, extremely
fashionable, and it seems pity that we
cannot keep all stylish colors ION tap"
as it were. so we could appear in the !.
prevailing vogue on moments notice
But place red hair next to the majority
of eyes and complexions, and-picture
the result! The freak museums would
get, the most of us!
Do not ''friz" the hair. 1t not ONLY
ruins it in time, but it is rarely beconf-
ing to anyone. Indulge in curls and
waves to your hearts content, but draw
the line on 'frizzing'
The small combs are still worn, but
not so much as a few months ago.-N.
