"The beauty Of the coiffure depends

the same.
Secondly, the beauty Of the coiffure

"I never put a square face into
parted coiffure; it would be fatal to

too. upon the abundance of the hair.
I carry a kit of small things to pad
out the hair--hairpin curls little
punches of ringlets TO sew into the
hat. long trailing curls to come down
upon the shoulders and any number of
ponopadour rats and little fat braids.
These things are needed to fill in the
spaces.
IT was called the other day to build
the coiffure Of a woman who lives in
Fifth avenue.

"'Then, madam said I. let me tell
you that you need something in the
wav of a switch. You also need two
pompadour rolls, one for each ear, and
Won need a bunch of little curls for

your temples.

when I had finished she threw up
her hands with joy and her maid
laughed outright with delight. She

her forehead look wide and handsome.
At her ears l had made wide, fat girl

there was a very youthful braid fas-
tened with handsome comb, and on
top of her head laid a fat twist some
thing like an old-fashioned S.
"It was a lesson in coiffure build

to a party of her friends whom she
gathered to hear me.
1.-The trouble with all women is
sameness. One woman told me that
she had dressed her hair in the same
way. without variation, for five years;
another confessed to ten years of
sameness; one to even longer. OF
course they always looked the same.
and it was no wonder that their friends

was always crooked.

up to the top of her head. making a
big, soft topknot, into which 1 stuck
picturesque little curls.
"Around this I arranged three small
combs pressing them tightly into the
hair, and then hooked some pin curls
in the temples, pulling out the hair
into something like pompadour. The
woman looked so pretty that she re-

for the next demonstration.
"I am making a specially of the Lon

1t is not a knot at all. 1t is an elab-

the back OF the head. rather low. so
