The latest fashion for childrens hair
dressing is to leave the hair hanging upon
their shoulders but to have the front part
gathered above the brow and twisted into
a ridiculous little knot or chignon, which
falls in such a way that 1t is always COM
ing undone. Very quaint such colffures
look though less picturesque than those
worn by the votaries of the NelasqueZ bow,
which is not so new, but a revival Of two
Of three years ago that has never become
common and owns many points of merit.
To carry it out the nurse has merely to
part the child's hair across the head, gath
er together the front piece and having
brushed it upward from the foreheas close
~ tie 1t round with ribbon so that the bow
is stationary above the left temple. Ihe
merits Of the method hygienically are that
the hair is not thinned anywhere, as it GER
tainly is after perpetual liking with teht
bow on the crown of the mead, ana plcto-
rally that the forehead is slightly draped
by the curtaining lock that falls over II
and thus looks artistic. 1t Is for the house
and particularly for afternoon and evening
affairs that the hair should be thus dressed,
though for the street the Velasquez Is ap-
propriate, with hats worn as far back from
the brow as they now are.
Many little child with pensive counte-
nance has the lovely oval OF her face &C
centuated when her hair is dressed In the
Edna May manner. This is a plan that has
also the advantages of rendering plain
race interesting. WlSpS VI ldlF ldheli IL oili
just above the ears to the back and there
tied or strung through a gold clasp keep
the long tresses from falling in an irritat-
ing fashion about the eyes.
Then too 1t is adorable to a chtldS
hair done in the simple fashion in which
Millas used to paint his own daughters
when they were tiny, though the long comb
that used to be worn then need not figure
| in the modern rendering, for ribbon
placed right round the head will answer the
purpose quite as well. Straight back from

| naturally overbroad two geisha rosettes

| Many women spoil themselves by cramp-
| ing and crushing their poor, unfortunate
| feet into shoes too small for them. This
/ is really most idiotic thing to do, as it
not only causes the most intense pain, Of
| ten ruins the gait entirely, but frequently
| brings about, If not really serious injury
| to the foot, at any rate such painful, I'M
pleasant and uncomfortable results as cornS,
bunions and other pedal disfigurements.
| A woman who persists in wearing shoes
too small for her cannot long remain in
/ good health, for she learns to dread exer-
| else because Of the pain and difficulty in
| volved. A shoe that Is either too short or
too narrow is such an instrument Of torture
that one would think no really sensible
| woman would ever have recourse to 1t,
| but every shoemaker knows that not few
| fashionable women habitually undergo this
| self-imposed penance, and, though they are
| invariably wrinkled and aged before their
| time and a panied, anxious and even dis
| agreeable expression becomes permanently
fixed on their once pleasant features, they
still persist in thinking the game worth
the candle and that the possession Of "a
pretty little FOOT atones for all the pain,
discomfort and misery which are their con-
slant portion
| A squeezed in foot, however can gen.
orally be detected and, as a rule, is any
thing but thing Of beauty. The whole
shape is often altered until the foot is al
most deformed at length into the Chinese
variety.
