stances. All women are not beauties nor
young. The majority need a few soft waves
near the face. and the wise woman who
has seen her twenty-sixth birthday will in
sist that her hair be waved.
Waves are curious things. There are
mechanical waves, such as one sees upon
the women whose ideal heads adorn cheap
chromos. Then there are big, soft sugges-
tive waves which lie around the face and
soften it. These waves are of the youth
full sort, not stiff and set, not Of the un-
d~ulating order known as the Marcel. They
are merely wave suggestions, sort OF sub
conscious trend OF the hair in the right d.
reotion.
ITO get this trend you must begin with
the Marcel. The hair must have its ex-
penslve waving at the hairdresser's place.
Then you must go home and with a big
comb go through the waves, lifting them
and tossing them until you get just the
right stage Of abandon.
Every hot towels are used for one Of the
new shampoos. Turkish towels are heated
so hot that they can scarcely be borne in
the hand. The head is rubbed with these.
The sensation Is pleasant and the towel
rubbing in many cases is a positively bene-
fetal head massage. ! keep 1t up until the
hair Is free from superflous oil.
There are women who look better with
light hair. These women cannot afford to
become bleached blondes of the chemical
variety, but they can have the hair treated
until It is a shade lighter than it was
before.
Il take mouse brown hair and make it
bloom by giving II the various shampOos
Of the season. The hot towel shampoo can
be used almost daily to keep the hair fluffy
n the cornmeal shampoo Is good once a
week. Soap and water is necessary once
and a while and there is the cologne sham
poo which calls for a spray of sweetly
scented water with a thorough drying in
the sun a%fterward. With these shamDoos
/ keep the hair a few shades brighter than
nature made it.
Truly l think nature intended hair to
be bright, but the trouble is that women
sleep in close rooms and they don't pay
enough attention TO the ventilating of the
hair. This makes It heavy and darkens
It. 1t keeps It from flutflness and in time
alters the structure of the hair. Nothing
grays It as soon as neglect.
Il believe that the hair should be dressed
twice a day. In the morning it can be done
low and In the evening 1t can be dressed
high. II one is going to be quite English
one can dress Il low In tho afternoon and
so high I'm the evening that it Is topheavy.
English women are pulling the ~coiffure
forward until il almost rests upon the fore
head. II is becoming II one understands
waving the back and putting In the pins,
But one must be pretty 20 wear the hair
In such a strained manner.
1--WE all know that the Madonna %coiffure
Is here. The hair is parted and drawn down
and a few very natural looking waves are
pinched into the sides so as 10 frame the
face. But there are women who positively
annot wear this Al Of cOiffure. and for
these there must be the old-fashioned but
ever-becoming pompadour. There is moth
ing that Is quite as becoming as the raised
and waved p~ompadour, all advice to the
contrary Notwithstanding. We find that
q dozen women can wear the pompadour
where only one can wear the parted hair.
1t Is the Christmas bride who causes
US most anxiety. In every case we are
