Blue Ia every imaginable shade and gray

crown of glory.
II is frequently asserted. says the New
! FORK Sun that women do not change the
( coiC7 of their hair as they did formerly
/ That IS not true. More women dye their
I hair to-day than ever before, but the art
/ has reached stage when it is very hard

/ comes to color. Ii Is a fact, however, that
| far fewer women bleach their hair to
Broadway blonde shade than in years gone
\ by. There are good reasons for this In the
I hrst place this shade everybody knows
/ 10 is in bad repute, and then il is produced
! by the use of powerful chemicals which
/ not only rot the hair AZ once, but further
! more, in the end cause it to turn to some
! outlandish color. such as a bilious green.
| Blcached hair OF this kind Is one thing and
| dyed hair of the fashionable Titan tint
| quite another
There are several shades of Titan hair,
and all are worn. A woman studies her
! eyes, complexion the shape of her face
her costumes, and then selects the shade
which viii suit her best. The tint most
70 be desired is the pure Titian-a rich,
warm red; but few women can afford to
frame their faces in this. Nine out Of ten
have to vary it in one way or anoi her.
Some require lighter locks and others
| darker and so it goes, but all are striv-
Ing after the Titan effect Indeed, this is
| absolutely necessary, for blue and gray
are both cold colors, and unless a woman
/ has some warmth in the color of ler hair
they are exceedingly trying.
When asked about the fashionable coll
orS in hair at the moment, a young wo-
man in an establishment famed for keep
ing woman's hair up 70 date in the mat
ter of color said:
''Red is the prevailing color again this
spring and summer, just as 1t was during
the winter. Titan people like to call it,
but IL is no other than the pure old-time
rich dark red such as we all hated when
/ was a little girl. 1t costs woman just
$50 to have her hair dyed, and it can be
done in a morning. The process is simple
but little tedious. and no sane woman
should attempt to dye her own hair A
brick mason might just as well attempt
to paint a frieze, In the first place hair
should be dyed ia such a way as to defy
detection. There's no sin in il then, pro-
Vided a harmless vegetable dye is used ;
the crime is in being found out. The hair
is thoroughly shampooed first so that not
one particle of natural oil remains in it.
When 1t is perfectly dry the artist takes
it strand by strand and colors it by means
of a fine toothbrush saturated with the
dye being careful not to touch the scalp.
That ie the process, and once Thoroughly
dyed not even soap and water will take
the color out or fade It. 1t is necessary
occasionally to have it touched up q bit
Now, about colors. The fashionable
color is dictated each season by the fash

artistic taste can readily see why Titan
shades are worn now. Drab hair, black,
and colorless blonde shades simply swear
at the bright blues and beautiful but try
ing shades of gray so much in vogue for
gowns and hats. They harmonic about
as well as a Puritanical preacher and
worldly congregation. Hair must have
some life, some brightness in its color TO
look well when blue or gray prevails In "a
woman's dress. There are lots of shades
of Titan, and women are guided by their
eyes and compilations in selecting what is
most becoming For example, a woman
with a fiorid complexion does not choose
the dark shade, but the very lightest,
while a girl with a white skin and no
color SEXES on the pure Titan. 1t is for
tunate that hair which has been dyed be-
fore takes the red shades beautifully.
There is no reason why any women who
can afford to pay the price should be be-
and few really fashionable ones are"
There are many new styles of dressing
the hair, but very high or very low Golf
fures prevail for house and evening wear.
One thing is required, whether the Golf
fure is high or low, and that is that the
hair must be arranged around the face in
the Marlborough puff, from ear to ear.
The part in woman's hair has gone the
beautiful part, so distinctively feminine
and so much admired by man. None but
an old lady parts her hair nowadays, I'M
less 1t is a young woman who wears her
hair in that fashion because the one she
loves the best of all wishes it, Even then
she puffs the sides out The Marlborough
coiffure is the thing for street wear. The
hair is parted from ear to ear across the
top of the head, so that almost as much
can be combed down over the face as is
left in the back. This is carefully waved
and the back hair growing around the
ears and neck is waved too. The next
thing to do Is to tie il securely with a
string, being careful to pull the waved
part out In a fun puff all around behind
The front is combed out until very fluffy
and puffed back, when the hair is twisted
or braided into the shape of the figure 8.
The rat which was born under the front
pompadour all winter is hopelessly out of
style. Why7 Because 1t is too stiff-lool1ing
and warm for summer use and looks al
most ludicrous with shirt waists, thin
gowns, and sailor hats. Indeed. the inclina-
ton is to wear the hair rather fiat in
front and very much puffed out at the
sides. Two or three very small love curls
may hang down II the hair IS colled, but
are not used when It Is braided. These can
! be bought, and they are an investment that
saves a deal of trouble. They come at
| tached TO halrpins warranted not TO loosen,
and they are tucked In wherever they pro-
duce the most becoming effect. Unless a
woman has very regular features she
| should be careful to make her hair lie fiat
on her head when dressed in this way, and
| il the forehead Is not strikingly beautiful
| let her by all means arrange a few care
| fully careless curls over her temples.
The "coquette's couture" is very beauti-
full and becoming, but calculated to try the
wearer's temper in warm weather unless
| she is blessed with naturally curly hair Ii
! is adapted to almost all faces. To fashion
1t the hair must be well shampooed, which
should be done at least twice a month II
