Women Should Arrange Their Hair
to Suit Their Features.
Although American women are reputed
to keep their youthful spirits and good
looks as long as the women of most other
countries do, they pay less attention TO
their hair than other women of the world,
including the barbarians of the far east.
French women live for their hair, the
poorest working girl toiling over her black
tresses until they shine in their neat coils.
The poorer class of French women in the
cities DO not wear hats as they 60 to and
tro on their outdoor errands, but no mat
ter how simple their gowns may be their
feet are always neatly shod and their
heads dressed with infinite care
The pompadour style of wearing the
hair is rampant today, and worn indis-
crlmlnately by pretty and ugly women,
round, with long or with broad faces
Nothing could be greater mistake, for
no style OF hair dressing since the days of
chlgnon and lOoped braids which dangled
around the ears, transforms person to
such degrees as does the pompadour. To
be becoming it should be done by wom-
an with a Marie Antoinette'' or ''minia-
than broad, but slender, with decided
features: Insignificant pug noses, very
round, childish eyes are apt to make the
pompadour look like the halo of Miss
Chrysanthemum. The soft fullness of
the pompadour brings out the best points
IN the slender face and softens the hol-
lows about the ears or around the tenn
PIES, If the face is pale it gives becom-
ing background, and if rosy suitable
foil. The effect of the pompadour on the
thln-faced woman who has always worn
her hair dressed severely back from her
intellectual forehead and thin cheeks. is
wonderful. On the other hand. the
round faced woman, especially if her feat
ures be small, is apt to look like full
moon when she encircles her round face
with halo of fluffy hair.
Most Of the smart coiffures of today
show puff around the face puff at
each side or a puff at the top, with the
sides rather narrow. This is an extreme
~ becoming mode for women whose faces
are oval, but inclined to be full and rosy
rather than spirituelle. When the hair is
nat on the crown of the head it is part

forehead of very light fringe of curls
ON the brow relieves the severity. In the
back the hair is arranged in long figure

at one side; in Il braid, in three puffs en-
clrcled by a coil or braid: or i'll a "bun"

"skewered'' with d handsome pin is also
worn: and a new version of the Greek
knot is being timidly pressed forward
by cnterprising hairdresSers.
Butterflies are the favorite hair orna-
mentS this season and they are made of
diamonds. Of gold and silver tiiigree and
of colored gauze spangled with seuuins
Feathers and flowers and ospreys are
also used. and stiffened ribbons, tortured
into weird-looking, outstanding bows.
Pins and combs of every description. from
the cheapest silver bangle to beautiful
pieces of tortoise shell gemmed with dia-
monds are worn. Amber combs in broad,
stiff Empire style, are great favorites,
and jet and steel are also very smart and
pretty.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
