the carriage of a grande dame. For the
woman of middle age IL it is not parted
and the forehead is high, the Alexandra
fringe or short. softly curled bang is worn
directly under the pompadour in front
If the ears are large or stick out from
the head, dress the hair well down over
the ears in soft, wavy fiuffed effects. Cleo
de MerOde, the noted French beauty, is
an example of what hair dressing accom-
plishes for the homely woman No one
considered her beauty because her ears
were large and stuck far out from her
head. An artist who desired to copy her
beautiful profile for a picture conceived
the idea of hiding the ugly ears entirely
by perfectly dressed hair, and directly the
ugly duckiing became one of the most
famous beauties of all Europe
The woman whose head is fat in the back
should be most particular to fluff and wave
her hair until it swells out gracefully, like
the pompadour over her forehead and then
wear a hat with snug, elaborate trimming
under the back. This will gracefully hide
the fact that her fat head indicates lack
of maternal affection and love Of home.
The girl with the retrousse or pug" nose
must curl her hair and dress it lightly, but
not too high on top of her head. A witty
hair dresser described a girl who drew her
hair tightly and knotted 1T severely on top
on her nose and large pug on her head
The girl whose eyes are set close to-
gether should part her hair in the middle.
The girl with the high forehead, who does
not like the Alexandria fringe or bang
should wear soft pompadour without
rat, and a Della Fox or small single curl
fastened with hairpin IN the middle of
her pompadour. This is almost essential If
her nose is large.
Coronet effects are much in vogue and
these require a soft braid encircling the
hair just back of the pompadour. Such
style of hair dressing is a boon to the wo-
man with little hair she can save her
combings or buy a ready-made switch to
form the crown of braids.
Hair ornaments this season are extremely
light and airy. For young women, they
come in the form of tiny rose wrea thes,
gauze wings set off by paillettes, and very
fine French flowers in delicate colors sewn
on black velvet bows. The gauZe flowers
are also showered with diamond dew drops
and for the dowager there is nothing hand
somer than marebout tips with the same
dew drops.
So long as the present millinery remains
in vogue the couture must give the effect
of luxuriant locks and if these are lack
ing a woman must seek help from the pro-
fessional hair dresser and hair maker. In
the meantime she should look to the cause
of her fading or falling locks.
The bad condition of the scalp may be
traced to various causes, aenemia, indiges-
ton, chronic headaches or worry. Having
removed the cause, apply remedial meas
ures. If the head is scalp-bound, that is,
the scalp seems glued to the skull, have the
head massag ed. This will also remove that
most common ailment, excess of oil in the
hair
Do not buy tonics indiscrimnately The
tonic that will relieve dryness may not be
the one you buy because you like the label.
For dry hair, try this formula which can
be made UP by your own druggist:
Glycerine one ounce eau de cologne, one
quarter pint liquid ammonia, one dram;
favor, and it should be parted to suit the
features. The severe pompadour is another
pure white hair, delicate pink cheeks and
oil of originum, oil of rosemary, each one
half dram; tincture of cantharides, one
ounce; briskly agttate for ten minutes. then
