There never has been a more un
expected and swift change In th,
manner OF doing the hair than has
come about this spring. From huge
towering pompadours with wrought
iron framework, and q queer little
twist on top OF the head, that sug
gested enthusiastic nature work
along the nest-builtiing line. we have
come in few months 10 the low hair.
dressing, graceful, artistic. and al
least simple in appearance.
Rolls and rats and artificial hairs
are all done away with. and you part
yonr hair and take II back quite plain,
over the ears. If Il suits you, or roll.
cd Dutch fashion. or IL ID waves nat
urally. in simple Madonna-waves.
Or you need not part il. 1t is
quite good style TO take it loosely
back from the forehead but it must
not be lined. it may part at one side
or drop a little on the forehead, any
way that appears natural and far
removed from the stiff conventional
~ OF the hair-dresser's art.
The back hair is done in a figure
eight at the back of the head, reach
ing from the crown TO the nape Of
the neck, or in q long loose twist low
on the neck, or in large fiat coil al
most covering the back of the head.
The last idea is rather new and es-
pecially pretty with the front hair
parted and rolled back Dutch fashion.
The fiat coil, however, is not for
all. IL is frightfully unbecoming to
the women with thin faces and large
features. 1t conveys the suggestion
Of superfluity of features and not
enough head for them to rest upon.
But for q round dimpled face, with
some roses and youthful modelling,
it is very charming and appropriate.
The Evangeline" style which is
revival rather than a new fashion,
is intended for dark women with
naturally wavy hair. Part the hair
in the middle, have no short locks,
separate the front and back at the
crown, then take each front part and
loop it back entirely. covering the
ear, and pinned so that puffs loose
ly in the manner Of hair dressing in
old engravings Of Evangeline. At
the back. it is done in low loose
knot, not very large.
Ifstraight hair is parted and rawn
back over the ears, it suggests more
the coiffure OF Cleo de Merode or tho
way that the Botticelli women had
with their hair. II makes an entire
ly differenttype, although the method
of doing it is the same.
Young girls either part their hair
and take the front back in Dutch
rolls or they gather up all the front
hair impaired and tie it loosely at
the crown of the head with a large
black or white bow. Then a round
comb is slipped in back of the bow
pressing the hair forward and let
ting it lie as it will about the face.
The back is braided in one or two
braids and caught up and held with
a second big bow or it is done in q
very long apparently loose coil. II
is never done high or left 10 hang
loose or even the braid unconfined,
at least not after q girl is past twelve.
But even the youngest girls now
adays have their hair exquisitely
groomed this fad for doing the hair
so plain makes the perfect care of it
very important indeed.
II is not difficult to care for one 3
own hair and keep it in excellent
condition, with just q few general
rules and necessary facts TO work
from.
II is impossible TO have the hair
healthy and beautiful unless the
scalp is free from dandruf. This o
accomplished by both washing and
brushing the scalp. Washing the
hair once month is quite sufficient
for the average dry hair. 1.-THE hair
is oily, twice month is not too often
Nothing is better for both scalp and
oily condition OF the hair than wash
ing it in water containing a pinch OF
Borax. The hair should be rinsed
twice after washing it dry, three
times If oily. In brushing the hair
see that the brush reaches the scalp,
then draw through the strands soft
ly. to the ends.
