fashions "a Hair DRESSING

uYHEN young girl reaches that
milestone in her career which is
marked by the frightening OF
her frocks and the turning up of her
braids she is SO deeply concerned
about the fashion of doing her hair
as any debutante is over the question
Of puffs or no puffs. Candidly, the
subject of hairdressing means more
to the girl who wears her braids up
for the first time than it does to her
older sister, declares q writer in the
New York Herald. She has nothing to
guide her in the way Of former ex.
perience, and she does not always get
that sympathetic help older sisters
might render if they remembered how
important the couture is to the school
girl.
Because it is an arrangement new to
her and to her friends she can learn
what becomes her only by trying the
various styles which are approved by
fashion. She must devote a good deal
of study to her head and her face.
She must consider carefully the poise
and shape of her neck; then after she
has studied herself due thought should
be given to the styles of hairdressing
themselves, and she must choose just
that one out of the many. ranging
from the jaunty to the classic, which
becomes her best. And, above all,
it should always be remembered that
simplicity is the keynote of girlish
hairdressing. Elaborate and imposing
effects are not only bad taste, but they
make young girl look ridiculous in
stead of sweet, charming and simple.
Doing the hair up does not mean
that the hair is actually arranged on
the top of the head. The up" is
used comparatively in contrast to the
hanging braids or curls worn by girls
under IA. In general way the young
girls couture is following in the lead
of the one adopted by fashionable
women. 1t suggests ever SO slightly a
Grecian effect by reason of it's full
ness at the back of the head. Wheth-
er the hair is done in one or two coils
or is braided and then pinned up,
prominence is given to it at a point
midway between the crown of the
head and the nape of the neck. This
slight change distinguishes it from the
low coil which was worn last season.
and it also makes it more difficult to
wear beeomingly. A well-shaped head
is required to set it off advantageous
ly and give it smartness that is no:
characterized by lumplike arrange
ment at the back of the head.
A simple way to manage this style
of dressing is to roll the sides of the
hair back from the face, either from
"a middle part or straight back from
the forehead, and twist it all together
The Columbus journal., 1908-05-13

In double loop, pinning the coils
across the head in horizontal line
instead of having them follow a verti-
cal axis. With hat this dressing
looks particularly well. Girls will find
it a little trying at other times, how
ever. on account of the sudden projec-
ton IL makes just under the crown of
the head. When this is not becoming
it can be made by leaving the hair
fluffy over the top of the head and

ment Of the hair low in the neck.

nape of the neck. The loops are
fastened securely with shell hairpins,
and a wide black ribbon bow may be

1t was a mellow day for such a ser
mon. The year was fulfilling all of
the promises made in early spring In
the woods there was a blaze of red, the
=. ripe juices of autumn. and in the al:
there was that melancholy sweetness
that makes a man think. that makes
him look upon his neighbor as his
brother. On a bench not far from the
pulpit old Lin Jucklin sat. determined
to surrender himself TO the influences
q. of the sermon. During the week just
ended human nature had not been
overstrong in him. He had told one
man that the only truth about him
was the truth that ne was liar. had
snapped horses with a chicken ped
dler and was glad now that he had
not succeeded in overtaking him aft
terward; he had trapped a few Guails
out of season. but had sent the most
of them to the Sick--had done few 9TH

as he sat ready 10 listen to the word
he knew that down in his heart ne

the Gospel is love-the sweetest mes
sage of love that was ever breathed
upon a helpless world. And it seems
strange that at this late day some of
you haven't found it out. I believe
hearn you say once that the printing
press was keepin' folks from goin' to
church, and you called it the agent of
the devil. You didn't stop to recollect
that unless the Bible had been printed
sou never would have had one. But
go ahead. preachin' your doctrine of
hate and the first thing you know
you'll be out Of job. You can't con.
vince a thinkin' man that the world
which IS just as much Gods now as
1t ever was-is worse of than it used
to be. There are more flowers to-day
than the world ever saw before There
are more human hearts and therefore
more human love. God-wisdom-is
comm closer; and the devi,-igno-
rance-is goia' further awa?-. You
frown at empty benches. but after
while you wont have even a bench.
And about that time you'll see happy
people comm out ct a new church.
That's about all I've got to say"

We'll, not before get bite to
