a hairdressers art, and too sadly often is
the hat of the times popped upon an elab-
Grafton of silky locks that more nearly
resembles a last years crows nest than
a sweet woman's head. The end and aim
of all effort ia hair arrangement is to have
the hugest frowning frontlet of pompa-
dour possible, and a deliberate balloon
like effect behind. Asseries of combs and
a system of rats are the necessary appa-
ratus for the erection of much-studed ar
tihciality, and few women bother any
longer to wave and curl. The pompadour
is best when it rolls back quite smoothly,
but the back hair is occasionally crimped
a little and then what is left of hair ends
for colling is drawn up into a small roll
or close psyche knot on the crown.

During the day when shopping and call

a twenty-five cent piece, is considered
sufficient, but at night, really splendid
ornaments glitter and CLEAN in the fluffy
globe OF back hair. Perhaps the pref
test and most popular form of hair clasp
is very long very slender crescent of
pearls; another new design is long ar
chers bow OF fine flllagree gold. strung with
a gold thread, on which a few small pearls
or brliants are gathered. An expensive
arrow with barb and feather of Jewels is
another novel pattern, and MOI content
with adjoining the rear of their heads, the
women who reign at the top of the fashion
have adopted the unique fancy for fasteu-
ing flowers or jewels, or both simultane-
ously iD their rolling pompadours. This
is a relic of Marie Antoinnette's court and
seems fairly to demand the addition of
patches and powder.
