"Fasten the ends" Is the motto which
| the tidy girl hangs over her dressing table
She never suggests a frayed or mussy rib
| bon, no matter how exquisite its co.oring
Even the men are quick to note trif1ine
carelessness in grooming, while the untidy
girl is severely criticised by members OF
her own sex.
For this reason inventors and shopkeepers
are constantly offering first aids to tidiness.
and any little appliance which will add to
the smartness and trimness of woman
appearance commands good sale.
As the face naturally attracts the first
glance, the arrangement of the hair and the
adjustment of the hat and veil are points
upon which the tidy girl expends infinite
pains. Next to the Importance of keeping
tho hair in good condition ranks that of
dressing it neatly, and the present fashion
Of arranging the hair low requires an ex-
ceptional number of combs. The best ar
rangement calls for four combs of uniform
size about two inches square. Two of these
are used to keep the rolls In place, and two
keep In good order the many stray locks
which persist in falling about the forehead
and over the ears.
The comb of the hour among girls who
prefer simplicity in dress is of light amber,
severely plain, but highly polished. To
match these come very long haIrpfns with
knob ends like balls. The fancy comb of
celluloid and the cheap jeweled comb are
not considered good form. and only for
dressy occasions does the girl who possess
es such an extravaganza bring forth her
comb of real tortoise she'll or amber, stud
ded with gems. Never would she wear sucn
a comb with a severe tailored gown or shirt
waist suit.
An invaluable help to a woman In dress
ing her hair is the very short invisible mar
pin. These she has on her dressing taDie
in large numbers, for they disappear with
amazing rapidity. They are used 20 sup
plement the combs, and come in two styles,
black and gold. The gold should Se used
only by the girl who has pure blonde or
golden hair.
Invisible Nets.
When the hair is waved deliberately and
dressed high the girl who is especially proud
Of her couture protects it with an invisible
net. This is made of hair matching per-
fectly the couture which 1t covers, and a
good net can be secured at prices ranging
from thirty-f1ve to fifty cents. The cheaper
nets are not worth buying. To obtain good
results these nets must be adjusted very
carefully with invisible hairpfns, or they
will suggest a wig instead of well-groomed
couture.
For young girls who dress their hair low
a pretty fancy for evening Is classic fillet
or the more giriish' Juliet net. The hllet
now in favor shows very fine gold chain,
plain or studded with diminutive~ gems,
drawn across the front of the hair, which
should be parted in the center and rolled
simply above the ears. The Juliet net COW
ers the crown of the head between the low
dressed pompadour and the knot on the
neck. 1t looks not unlike a spider web of
fine gold or silver, and wherever the chains
cross there Is set small Jewel. such as pearl,
rhinestone, turquoise, emerald, etc. Bar
rettes are used only when the hair is dressed
high
The tidy girl, even though she may not
motor, counts among her possessions an
automobile hatpin. This is invaluable for
fastening down the back of her wide brim-
med hat or keeping the drapery of an all
enveloping veil in place. Automobile hat
pins look like huge safety pins, six to eight
inches long, and in silver gilt or gun metal
can be bought for rs cents or ST. One such
pin is worth three or four ordinary hatpins
For her picture hat the girl who can
afford 1t uses an automobile hatpin, which
Is really an ornament, studded in rhine
stones or in the odd oriental designs such
as beetles and other winged creatures, seen
on this seasons brooches For fastening
down the hat in the front comes a new
barrette which looks like a dagger with a
fiat knob end, fully large as a silver
quarter. This is driven through the hair
between the bandeau and the crown of the
hat beneath the brim, and if seen at ALL
1t looks like an ornament tucked under the
hat These come in both celiuloid and shell
and the knobs are plain or ornamented.
Pins Match Veil
In selecting pins for her veil the tidy girl
Is careful to affect no violent contrasts.
For her white veil she has pearl-headed
pins and for her black wells pins of polish
ed +et. If she has a variety of veilngs in
