The fashion of dressing the hair
well at the back and even low on the
nape has come in to stay. A couple
of lessons at the hairdresser's will
serve to reach woman how to do
unaided at least two or three of the
new twists. and with this arrangement
how to give the head the air Of COM
pact neatness upon which every Amer
lean woman insists. The Importance
Of knowing how to comb your hair in
a good rear coil or height is made i'm
pressive by the spring hats. All the
shapes are cut. bent and trimmed to
harmonize with the hair when dressed
low and the woman who says she
won't put her hair down is grandly
disciplined when she finds that her
new hat won't sit on so long as her
hair is pinned up.
\ big, three roll, or a big winged
eight Is the most satisfactory arrange
ment the coiffours have yet arrived at
For the morning the roll is unadorned,
save for occasional ornamental pins;
with afternoon dress clusters of little
corkscrew curls are tucked in behind
the ears, to make way in the evening
before long Gainsborough ringlets that
hang upon the bare shoulders.
When two extremely long curls are
drawn forward OF either side of the
neck they are appropriately called
Lady Teazles, and not infrequently
the hair receives a dash of powder to
accentuate the eighteenth century
quality OF this style.
1t was almost inevitable, with the
low arrangement Of the hair and the
waterfalls of curls. that the nets of
1860 and thereabouts should come
back to favor. Women first began to
treat them as joke, but now they
have accepted them in earnest, and in.
visible nets, nets of silk with chenille
spots. and nets of beads, are multiply
ing with amazing rapidity. A net, for
two sound reasons, is almost neces.
sary with the new coiffure 1t is re-
quired to keep the bulky mass of black
hair taught and neat, and when a pau
city Of natural cheveture brings
quantity Of false braids and switches
into requlsition, the net assists in hold.
Ing these securely in place.
Some women, who do not wear jew
eled or chenille nets in the evening
have found almost as much comfort
in the use of fanciful hair scarfs.
These are made of chiffon, silk mus
lin, Liberty tissue or Oriental gauze,
twisted with ropes of pearls, or caught
to the hair behind with jeweled
clasps, and then brought forward and
the ends fastened just above either
temple with begemmed brooches. The
effect is coquettisb, and the scarf is
always so arranged that it serves as
| reinforcement to any superimposed
puffs OF braids.
Some Of the most prominent hair
dressers are actively pushing the use
OF pearl Juliet nets. These are round
or diamond shaped. They fit on the
crown Of the head, and in some cases
point of the net will come forward
to the forehead and there branch up in
the form of pearl butterfly wings. A
| great many women have looked ask
ance at the tiny, three-cornered bead
and chenille nets that are to be pinned
directly on the top of the head. They
are TO be worn by day, and their util-
lty is not far to seek. Since all the
bulk Of the hair has been drawn down
to the back Of the head there is literal
ly nothing to which the hat crown can
be pianed, in order to hold it firm. If,
| however, tiny net is first made fast
| TO the top Of the head and the hat-pins
then caught through its meshes, gale

the little pearl or bead-strung caps are
distinctly ornamental and in some
cases most becoming. New York Sun.
