One of the newest shapes In toques that
Caroline Reboux displayed recently was
like nothing more than an inverted saucer,
the round rim curving upward and the sole
trimming consisting of very high wings
placed upright at the left side. AS soon

always in evidence arranged as cache
peignes in ciumps and clusters, but the IA

I must tell you about the swagger way of
arranging the hair in front. with tiny curls
peepiHg from under the brim OF the high
perched hat Il is a sad admission, but
these curls are mighty apt to have
"wiggy' appearance and unless carefully
arranged they give hard expression to the
face, especially now when so many women

It pleasure. In the evening the effect Is
very good, but the pitiless glare of a noon
day sun Is often disastrous. 1t is too bad
that the simple law of nature matching like
with like is cruelty overlooked, when she
takes such pains to give hair to suit our
compilations.
The new hats have Brought about the new
couture, and no one attempts the low knot
with the chapeau that turns up abruptly at
the back For this reason the knot has been
promoted to the top of the head and arti-
fetal curls are tucked in where the ends
are fastened. To do this fashionable Golf
furc the hair is drawn up snugly from the
nape of the neck and put into fiat knot In
the middle of the pompad our, which latter
is extremely low and parted, when becom-
ing, in the center. The ruling idea seems to
be to preserve an -Gnbroken line from the
neck to the forehead
Another equally smart couture that can
be successfully worn only by the fortunate
the face. The back hair is loosely braided
into two wide plaits and wound about the
crown, reaching from the nape of the neck
to the top Of the pompadour. The ends are
finished with a bunch of tiny curls pinned
at the left side toward the back. This is an
attractive girlish arrangement and exceed
lngly smart for afternoon and street wear.
Absolutely dead are the crisp artificial
looking undulations that were considered so
chic last summer and in their place we
have the soft waves that initiate very per-
fectly nature as she Is represented in ro-
mantle novels. Although fashion attempts
to be arbitrary, it should not be allowed to
control woman'S couture any more than II
controls the color of her gown, but no mat
ter what the arrangement may be, Ii Is the
condition In which the hair itself is kept
that has most to do with its appearance
Unfortunately there are women who deny
themselves nothing in the manner of lux
uries who consider money spent at the hair
dressers rank extravaganza. Well every
one to her taste. but nowadays 1t is mighty
poor taste to so abroad with ones head un-
groomed and frowsy.
