The bewitching little neck curl af-
fords a new field for woman's endeav-
or. 1t looks fine, as it lies along the
fair neck of the pretty owner. but, Q,
the labor involved in keeping it in
curl.
What expenditure of time, of pa
thence, what tear wringing and tear
bringing operations are brought into
play all for the sake of the little dan
Cling curl.
There are curls and curls. And there
are curls that cam be bought, fastened
upon hairpin, ready to be stuck into
the side of the coi1fure. These adjust
able curls, as they may be called, are
easily purchased, and perfect
match" can be obtained. But the
worry Of them is considerable You
never know just where your curl is
going to be; and now it is upon your
neck and now it is upon the floor. That
is the trouble with the adjustable curl,
and the woman who wears it win bring
down nervous prpstration- upon her
self, unless, along With the curl, she
buys the secret of sticking it into her
; couture so that it cannot be parted
from the head unless she is scalped.
The secret of making the hair curl,
so that it may be said to curl "natur-
ally" is locked in the mysterious
knowledge of a few hairdressers. There
is in Paris one Mapcelle, who can wave
your hair so that it will stay waved
a month: he can curl it so that it will
stay curled an equal length of time;
and, as for the little forehead bang, he
can give it a twist which will keep
it lin" for a whole week, which is con-
siderable for a forehead curl, which
lies on the moist skin and is subject to
the weather
The hair can be done up in kids and
slept in. But the trouble is that there
is no difference in the morning. The
hair is slightly kinky, but that is all.
After being up all night it should be
nicely curled in curls that will stay in
at least twenty-four hours. Whereas
in the morning the curls are spiritles
to begin with, and gradually, as the
day grows old, they become more and
more dispirited until there is no virtue
or beauty in them whatsoever.
Now the French. from whom on<
borrows so many ideas on beauty Gull
ture. have a way of keeping the hair
in curl. They have one specific in par
ticular which not only makes the hair
curly, but actually keeps it in curl in
definitely. A French hairdresser, in
possession of this secret, will treat
your hair, curling as it dries, and will
do the work so thoroughly that you
come out of the operation with hair
that is naturally curly" And what
is more, it will stay IN curl several
months. You cannot shampoo it out,
and. at the end of three months, it will
be nearly as tight as it was at first.
The formula used is that which is
employed upon skins to make them
curl; and it contains quicksilver and
aqua FORTS and water. 1t will remove
tle skin from the scalp if allowed to
touch it, and it is highly injurious to
HE hair. But it is used sometimes to
uive the permanent curl, and, perhaps,
used seldom, it does no great harm.
FUt let not the amateur tamper with
But the girl who wants to keep her
lair in curl must have something
which is harmless in its nature. And
or this there are various curling fluids
rdorsed by those who have tried them.
9ne of these is quinine and water, a
good tonic, by the way, for the hair.
For coarse hair there is a curling
treatment which might be tried by the
one who desires ringlets. This is par
ticularly good for the hair that lies
upon the forehead. Take of glycerine
half an ounce and after the hair has
been shampooed, moisten the front
locks and DO them up. They will be a
little stiff, but lie upon the forehead
nicely.
If soft curls are desired little ringlets
which cover the temples, it is better to
use only water. Let the hair be well
washed and dried. Then wet the lock
well with water and shake ii out.
Shake until half dry and put up in kid
rollers in such a way that the hairs
are all exposed to the air. Then dry,
take down, and a nice set of little
linglets viii be found
The secret of curling the hair on the
kid, or ether curler, is to let it remain
up until every particle of moisture is
gone. Hair Will often appear to be
perfectly dry when it in reality con-
tains quite little dampness; and it is
taken down too soon, with the result
that ii Immediately loses its curl.
A young woman who is prominent in
society is afflicted with perfectly
straight hair; and not only is it
straight, but it is wiiy and of a coarse,
heavy texture. In addition to this her
forehead is high, and she has the look
of an Indian. without the strong at |

There is another treatment for the !
