FASHIONABLE COIFFURES Mrs.
B0-The clever woman, fully realizing
the importance Of a mOdish cOiffure
and it's relation to a perfect ensem-
BILE, never sights this part Of her
toilet; it is only the unsOphisticated or
careless woman who mars a perfect
gown by badly arranged hair. While
elaborate effects are only possible to
the woman who can command the SER
vices of a skilled hairdresser, every
woman can acquire certain amount
Of skill by persistent effort, which will
enable her to do her hair in becoming
manner. Mind you, L say becoming,
for this should be the keynote always
in mind; it matters little how fashion,
able any particular arrangement may
be, If it is not strictly becoming to the
individual it will prove a failure. The
only way to decide the matter is to ex-
pertinent with several styles and select
the one most becoming. The low coif-
fure is the latest and is very charming,
resting against a fair neck, but not
every woman can wear it successfully;
as a consequence the high coiffure and
pompadour, in modified forms, the
waved style and others still hold secure
places, becoming as they are to the
majority of faces. Hair parted in the
middle softly waved and puffed out at
the sides, a la Barrymore. is another
popular mode. The back may be gath
cred in a coil or puffs. trifie below the
crown, or in a low coil on the neck, as
best suits the individual. To arrange
the low coiffure, comb the hair back
and tie midway below the crown and
the neck; then loosely coil and arrange
the long strands in a figure 8, the lower
loop resting against the neck. Occa-
forming the figure 8; this mode, how
ever. is confined almost entirely to
morning wear on windy days, when a
firm adjustment is essential to neat
ness. The front hair is, of course, part
ed off from ear to ear and waved and
puffed out to becoming softness in
, either case, with ends coiled around
the ribbon which holds the back
strands.
, TRAINING CHILDREN (Mother)-
In a limited space only a few essen
, tial points in child training can be
, given, but you will find the hints val
liable if you will act upon them. Often
sive table manners seem to be nat
, ural to the majority of children, and
this fault should be taken in hand early
in their careers. Correct manners
should be taught and enforced as soon
as children are old enough to sit at
the table. Very young children must
receive oral instruction as we'll as ex-
ample until their small minds grasp
: the ideas and how and when to apply
l them. This may seem tiresome to carry
: on daily, but 1t must be done to pro-
=. duce results. To overcome the con-
tinual breach of good table manners on
: the part Of older children, and save
continual correction, I suggest that you
write out list of correct forms and
insist that they be memorized. then
there will be no reason for such flip
pant excuses as II forgot" or Did It
just for fun" Try to make them un-
8 derstand that it is never smart to be
1 Ill bred and that you appreciate and
n admire any duty well performed. no
matter how trivial. AS your governess
has evidently been very careless in per-
:. forming her duties, nothing but an en-
Q tire change in discipline will bring
J. about the desired improvement. Take
d the matter Of department firmly IN
