what an English Woman Sees In Them

The styles OF hairdrosSing Mt the
moment, writes Mrs. Eric Pritchard
in London Madame. are not at all diff
cult to manipulate; in fact. the most
chic are hy far the most simple: in
deed. this is the case with an fashions
this year.
There is right and wrong way OF
doing everything. and an English wo-
man somehow generally follows the
latter as regards doing her hair. and
II she copies u French style she will
eXaggerate H. This is n pity. for. as
q rule. English women are possessed
OF comely locks. and that is one great
reason why they should take proper
care OF them ana treat their raven
or auburn tresseS with respect.
n great many good and respectable
women simply gasp mt the thought
OF hair dye. l do not want to advocate
It, because Nature generally chooses
best but l assure YOU she makes mis-
takes sometimes. and then . touching

little touching up of the face.
1t liz interesting TO know that the
Parisians have got 4 new brown shade
for their hair which is peculiarly be
coming to French peol lc, who have
ever fancy TO dress i'm brown.
Brown haic is, l suppose the most
general color in this country, hut there
arc various shades of it, the majority
being a little mediocre and uninterest-
ing. However. be the color what it

question OF couture decides the indi-

Now the millinery OF the moment
Is most conveniently adaptable to all
styles OF coiffure, providing we do not
drag our hair tightly back from the
face at the sides. But do not imagine
that your hair can he screwed UP In

made a gallant but Intellectual stand

Mexico for the purpose of erecting a

Ing the fact that the Mexican forces
were defeated, their defense against
superior numbers was so gallant that
the anniversary Of the battle Of the 9Th

A brusque American once asked the
president. why do you Mexicans cele-

French finally took Puebla:'
President Diaz, with twinkle in his
