was unworthy Of christian race.

There is a parsonage in Paris who could
tell you why the styles in hairdressing
change and, what is more. he could ac-
curately predict the coming hairdressing
fashions He knows why you rolled your
hair over a pompadour last year: why some
women are parting their hair this season.
and why still more will dress the hair in
madonna style next year. He not only
predicts the styles but he sets them.
This great French hairdresser, unlike
Marcel, has never given his name to q
wave nor yet to a pompadour. He de-
signs whole coiffure effects, leaving 1t for
his assistants to carry out his ideas. He
merely suggests the picture.
This hairdresser, whose business is so
extensive that ne maintains what might
be called a hair orchard OF his own, is the
proprietor of shop where women go when
they want to create a sensation in hair
dressing. His success Ia basel on his
ability to design coiffures which suit the
faces OF his clients, bring out their good
points and conceal their defects. Once
when asked how an ugly woman should
dress her hair, he said:
she should try to conceal rather than to
show. The ugly woman has usually one
good point, and this is her forehead. She
can at least show a smooth, fair brow.
1t would be q mistake TO hide this fore
head. 80 the slxilful hairdresser lifts the
hair from the brow and exposes the one
good point. The rest he will hide as much
as possible

s. can be made to hide the features without

Taft carried Ohio by probably over

meager, indicate the probable victory
