they should not wear their hair so as
to harmonize with their faces, thing,
1t Is said, which few women do. 1t
has been noticed that since tho decline
of the plain and simple fashion of
wearing hair there have been fewer
homely women in the land than before.
They have learned in some measure

lessen the faults of features and mako
the most OF the graces that nature has
bestowed. Yet tho sharp-featured girls,
with the lean and pointed countenanccs,
many of them arc not doing what they
should do, and that is, look as pretty
as possible. Neither are all tho pug
nosed girls, the pudgy, fat-faced girls,
or the high checked girls, or thu hollow
tempted girls, or the thin necKed girls,
or any of the hundred other different
kinds of girls with peculiarities of
features, all of whom would become
more pleasing to the eye of mankind,
did they only tako moro pains to wear
their hair becomingly.
A fashionable hair-dresser gives a
number of hints, which may be of
value. For instance, it is said that q
sharp-featured girl should never wenr
her hair in a knot on top her head,
thus accentuating her keenness of nose
and cheek bones. Instead, if her hair
is worn low, and lot of little ringlets
and curls are artistically strung about
her neck and her hair. roughed a little
on the top and sides, her features
would be softened and toned down and
she would be better looking girl.
A girl with a prominent jaw, long
and strong, makes mistake when she
takes her hair up in straight line,
which only throws her jaw into more
prominence. What she should do is
to take, it back in wave. ..,s IA.
The girl with the small face and
small features, il she wants to look
well, doesn't want to wear pompa-
dour, which would give her the appear
anoe of being more head than anything
else. Instead she should let her hair
be drawn rather close to her head,
with slight waves. ~D
The girl, on the other hand, who has
n small head, but rather a large nose
and mouth, should fix her hair in a
puff and bring her head up 10 fit the
nose or mouth. Care should be taken
not to let the head be out Of proportion.
As to the girls with saucy, impudent
faces, they should know exactly how to
wear their hair. A lot of turbulent
little curls and waves and unmanage-
able ringlets are the only things for
such a girl to wear. II she smoothes
her hair straight back and wears it
plain she simply kills her face.

and no frivolities The pudgy-faced
girl must wear her hair on the top OF
her head, and if she would be in style

The girl with the long, thin neck
may have it made plumper looking by
wearing her hair very low and;allowing
play about in the breeze. This has the
same effect as the shadow cast on the
neck by photographer when taking a
picture, and prevents the lines of the
neck from being too plainly seen.

Girls with hollow temples should fill
them up by pair of little twin temple
curls on either side.

ment Of cnrls. The little temple curls,
when worn properly, take away from
the effect of q too-broad brow, and they
also help wonderfully the girl with tbs

A big-headed girl should have 'hel
hair drawn down close to her head an6
free from all curls or puffs. She should
never even dream of pompadour. Ii
the same way the small headed CIR
should cultivate a fine, large pompa
