cHIeNoNs STYLISH AGAIN
Return TO the Hairdressing Node of
Empress EuEenie.

Empress EuEcnie.
Hairdressers have revived the CHG
non, which was SO popular when EN-
press Eugene ruled the world of fash
ion. 1t isn't the same chignon, though,
that is coming into style as was worn in
Eugenie's day. That was mass of
hair worn at the back of the head in a
net. The new style is a coil, wave, a
Grecian knot. Eugenie's chignon was
worn in black net with beads, "re-
sille," which the poor poets made
rhyme with Seville" and other words
of her native Spain. The net of the
chignon now is invisible. In the time of
Napoleon I. fiat was the hair dress of
women. AS long as Eugene reigned
sovereign, sovereign even over her fa-
talist husband, Napoleon III, the
chignon was tyrant, but when he sur
rendered at Sedan and she fed from
Paris in the cab of the American dent
list, Evans, suddenly, off went the CHG
non. It vanished like an apparition.
With the chignon it is an epoch like
that returning. The hairdressers do
not admit it. They dissemble. One of
the leaders among them said: "Oh, it
isn't the same chignon. The net now is
invisible. The roll is not plain; 1t is not
formed of a simple mass. 1t Is crimped
or curled or in waves or in a graceful
knot similar to the knots that Burne-
Jones puts on the heads of his prin-
cesses. 1t requires quantities of hair.
of course. But women have great deal
more hair than they think they have.
If they doubt, let them come to the
hairdresser's. 1t isn't the same CHG
non that gave to a woman of 20 the air
of a woman of 80. The new chignon ac-
centuates woman's youth. 1t Is quite
different"
The introduction OF this new style
will make fortunes for the artificial
hairmakers. For women to-day have
not as a Distinguishing characteristic
wealth Of hair. The custom Of combing
it upward, from the nape of the neck
in order TO show the roots of it, has
made that wealth unnecessary

MANAGING SERVANTS.
Teach Them self-ResDect and Always
Keep Your own


Keep Your own.
The best rule for managing servants,
is a two-fold one, simple in idea, com
plex enough, but still possible in prac-
tiee: Teach your servant self-respeet
and keep your own.
For instance, pleasant room to sleep
in, nice kitchen. with plenty of serv-
icenble cooking utensils, good brooms,
ample towels and busters, fixed duties
and regular hours; these give and keep
up self-respect in q willing handmaid,
be she cook or waitress. She learns to
call your house her home, truly, and 10
take a pride in her work.
On your own side an even temper
pleasant but firm oversight Of neces-
sarv matters, systematic plan OF
housekeeping these keep up the
mistress self-respect in dealing with
her household staff. AS soon as you
feel that you have been careless, or that
YOU have lost your temper in trying
moment. YOU realize that false posi-
tion exists that endangers your selt-re-
specting relation with your mald' Just
as she feels, when her room is wretched,
her tools out of order, her hours OF
work irregular and her training neg
lected. that her standard is confused
and degraded.
The ideal mistress is always self-re-
specting, and, having provided the es-
seutials of self-respecting service, may
reasonably expect the ideal maid to live
up to the opportunity. Ideals are per-
hans never fully realized, but this es-
pecial ideal must be kept in view if i'm
provement, however gradual, in house
hold service is desired. 1t is easy to re-
rember; try it. and see if it does noS
oil the wheels of your home machinery.
