CONNIE il faut when the hat is on the
head So it is that this season the pro-
fessional coiffeur fourishes to an extent
that he has hitherto known only on the
other side of the herring pond. All the
shortcomings of the hat are his to rem
edy: and oftentimes the couture Is not
really completed until after the hat has
been adjusted to the head. pinned into
place-and some of these new hatpins are
really things of art and beauty-and the
veil ready to be drawn on also.
AS of old the everyday hairdressing and
that for formal and full-dress occasions
are supposed to differ materially. Many
women there are, however, in the pubic
eye either upon the theatrical or the So
ciaI stage-for full as much publicity
seems to attend the one as the other
who adopt the one mode of dressing their
abundant locks. and persistently cling
to this, taking no heed of the many muta-
tions of fashion. but going their appointed
way serenely, secure in the consciousness
that their own especial coifure proves
far more becoming than any other style
could ever possibly be.
The milliners are just beginning to
wake up, and to design chapeaux for

scribe has a very vivid recollection of
shopping In Paris, a year or two ago,
with a friend who dressed her hair after
the simple Madonna style, center part
ing. the hair brought loosely over the
ears and knotted loosely on the neck
in the back. Shop after shop along the
Rue de la Paix was visited; and each
vendreuse. after a glance at the couture,
shrugged her shoulders and with exquisite
politeness deplored the fact that cha
eaux for that style were not kept In
stock-they must inevitably be designed
and made to order. The poke bonnet was
suggested as the only possible thing; but
when 1t was explained that a hat for
morning and steamer wear was what was
most desired, then the situation proved
impossible and the quest had to be given
up.
Now, however, the couture Is recog-
nized as being of first Importance. and

fashion already indicated can find the
most charming of chapeaux all ready TO

take hatpin long hairptn. and after
the net is in place, the hair underneath
is lifted and pulled trifle with the long

a net sometimes imposes is entirely obvi-
ated.

completely taboo when the Dutch bralds

no place or opportunity for them with
this mode of couture. and the girl who

things wisely om1ts them when she adopts

appreciation. A velvet edge often times

fears as to its extreme becomingness,
either.
For what are generally termed full
dress occasions the high couture. much
elaborated, still prevails. In fact, there
are many mondaines who prefer this type
for all-day and everyday wear. The
Marcel type still fourishes. and the wav-
ing of the hair still maintains that ar
tihcial regularity that characterizes this
method.
The arrangement of the front pompadour
dressing is something that must be de-
termined by the individual features. There
are but two imperative requisites. The
one is that the hair be disposed in loose
looking puffs and waves, and the other is
that they be compelled to retain their
loose huf1ness for an indefinite period
The weIl-groomed woman longer
plasters her hair down close to her skull
/ to keep it spick and span and smooth;
rather does she have it dressed-or, If she
be clever and alive to all of her own op-
portunities and possibilities, dresses it
herself-in the most complicated looking
style, waves and curs and puns being
freely called upon to improve her ap
pearance. Then after the coiffure is COM
pleted, the well-groomed appearance is
arranged for in the deft application of
a hairnet, or, of two of them, according
to the size of her couture and Its adjust
ment.
And, by the way, # is rather interest
ing to note the way that the fashion of
those same hair nets is spreading. The
weII-groomed Parisienne has long been
accustomed to them; and although the
French woman does not indulge in pedes-
trianism to anything like the extent that
the American woman does, the coiffura
net has been one of the indispensables of
the toilet table for, oh! ever SO long.
The English woman, too, with her devo-
ton to the life of out-of-doors, has long
been acquainted with the delightfully."-
modish possibilities of the hairnet, albeit
she does not always adjust them with
the same chic dizziness that is so char
acteristic of the Parlsienne of every de
gree. The English woman Is devoted to
the low type of cciffure, and the fact
that the back hair is far more often
rolled and twisted than 1t is braided
makes the net an all the more desirabl
adjunct
What is usually termed the Dutch braid
coiffure-but which the Parisiennes so
much more euphoniously call the coronet
coiffure-is one of the most favored styles
of dressing the hair for the girl with a
youthful face and an abundant chevelure.

Fort Dodge, Dec. 11.-Four cases
from the district court of Webster

ruling of the court the companies
must pay to Furlong & Meloy the full

was destroyed by fire two years ago
this month. They claimed the stock
was valued at $4,000. and the insur-
ance companies listed the same at
$4,000, contesting on this ground.
The case was fought out in the local
court and judgments for nearly the
full value was given in each. All
were appealed d. G.. Meloy was ter
