justment to the form, the corkscTew cloth
Of the underskirt is mounted only to the
knees on the foundation lining OF navy

lined. Both are finished with a corded
band of the same material. The bodice is

of tan cloth has the guimpe and tight
sleeves of golden brown velvet thus stitch

The line which marks the finish of the
guimpe is covered with two narrow bias
bands Of tan CLOTH cut slightly faring
and bound with a tiny fold of tan satin.
These bands pass over the shoulders

styles in Head Dress.

A woman's pride IS her hair II is her
crownlng beauty. With great dark or light
coils arranged artistiealIy round shapeIy
head or fixed so as to hide an unsymmetricaI
one, even a plain woman can be attractive.
The Eve most attractive and artistic modes
now in vogue are the TrelaYny, the new
long curl, the arrangement with the Al
satan bow and the arrangement with the
flower wreath. The long fluffy curl coiffure
the Newport coil, and long fluffy curl are
used even by women who have fairly Ions
thick nair of their own. For the first time
the old-fashioned side part is introduced in
fluffy, coquettish pompaG0ur. 1t can bs
worn by only very young women possessed
OF very regular features. The Newport
coil is a curious arrangement of long hair
similar to the old style switch" except
that it is suspended from flexible ring
The ring is about the size of a silver dollar
In arranging the false hair securely on the
head, the woman's own hair is twisted once
and securely pinned with a medium sized
bone pin The mane-like end is drawn
through the ring of the Newport coil and
pinned with few steel hsiTpins. The long
full hair is then gathered in about equal
parts; one is held pinned out of the way
while the other is arranged in an intricate
figure about an inch back of the i'm
mediate top Of the head. The other part is
then curled up in a similar twist and the
long, fluffy curl is hung on the left side.
This curl differs from all the side curls
formerly seen, because it is only mass OF
fluff to within five inches of the end, where
it terminates in stiff, coTkscrew-like ends.
The side part is on the left side, and is
made when the hair is first cOmbed smooth
underneath the hair on top. apparently
cOmbed plainly back, the hair being care
fully curIed to form a roI-Iike foundation
that supports the hair above. The new

Elizabeth used both milk and wine for
their baths; and the Empress Josephine
always bathed her face in bowl of milk

used with toilet vinegar, for the acid of
the vinegar decomposing on the soap has
