BECOMING CoIFFUREs.
STYLES to Suit Round, Oval or Long
Faces.

There is no question but that success
full appearance depends more on the Golf
fure than any other detail Of the toilet, Tor
the handsomest gown and the smartest hat
will fail to impress a beholder IL the hair
shows neglect lack of style or Is unbecom-
ingly arranged, while often the plainest
frock or simplest chapeau will pass unob-
served If the hair is prettily dressed In be-
coming fashion.
The very greatest care should be exer-
csed in choosing ones couture, or In
changing from one mode to another. In
deed, the safest plan is to try not one but
many styles of hairdressing until some
model entirely satisfactory is found and
/ then this one should be worn regardless Of
changing fashions.
Certain styles suit certain faces, one ar
rangement being the more becoming to an
oval face and another to the round face;
but then all are not of the true types.
There is the short oval. the narrow oval,
oval inclning to plumpness and the long
oval, all of which are modincations OF the
perfect oval face: Equally numerous are
| the different varieties OF the round face.
There is the so-cailed perfect type of round
face-that is. neither too thin nor too fat
| the plump round face, the broad fat face
and the very round short face. Then
there is the sharp pointed face to be con-
sidered the with a receding chin, and
the type possessing very large or
aquiline- nose, so that 1t can be plainly
seen that while certain directions may be
followed with satisfactory results, 1t Is
simply impossible to set down any hard
and fast rules. because so few women have
| features that come up to the standard of
perfection.
For instance. a perfect type Of round
! face may have the hair dressed high or
| low but If the face is short and round the
high coiffure must be adopted. The fat
round face, too, should look well with high
arrangement, but the sides must be puffed
n little. the result viii be that the Tat
| checks appear really fatter.

For the School Girl.


It has always been one Of the heaviest

be told that they must not ask for pretty
gold and jeweled trihes; that they must
wait until their formal bow has been made
to smart society before they can hope to
ravel in the sparkle and CLEAN Of lots of
Jewels. as did the fair Marguerite. It seems
a long wait to the girl in her early teens,
and. to tide her over until that rosy
time when she Ia declared full hedged

decreed that this charming young person
shall be allowed to have a few ornaments
all for her very own. These are simple.
OF course; the very height OF simplicity
and chasteness, but they bring lot OF
comfort and Joy to the girl in her teens
and teach her something Of the intrinsic
and ornamental value of more elaborate
effects.
Precious stones. with the exception of
pearls. are not for her. She must content
herself with those that come In the semi
precious class and with quaint effects In
gold and silver.
The present tendency In the way OF neck
ornaments for the young girl follows that
observed in more elaborate ones. Neck
