u I'M ILlOl L OF arrangement d1O
- youthful-looking hair is the
acme of smartness this season.
This sounds quite easy of attain
ment; so easy, IN fact, that one irnme-
diately concludes that it might be just
as well to dispense with the hairdresser.
In most cases this might be more or less
advisable, but the problem is not SO
easily solved, for the hair must be pre-
pared, and just here depends the entire
appearance of the couture
Usually in dressing for the evening
one has the couture arranged just be-
fore donnlng the gown, but now, alas,
this is no longer so simple matter.
One must begin the hair-dressing proc
ess. early In the morning and, indeed, a
month in advance if one would have an
absolutely perfect appearing head.
One may prepare the hair herself, but
it would be far better to call in the as
sistance of an expert preparer of hair,
at least until one has discovered the Sc
cret of success.
The hair is wonderful index to age
and since the f1at-headed effects have
come into vogue it behooves every
woman to devote much time to the at
tainnient of youthful looking hair.
This can be done by first washing out
part of the oils, great care being taken
TO retain some of the oil, otherwise a
dead colorless head is the result. The
next step is to part the hair in the
center and run the hnger-tips,. wet in
warm oil. along the part and then ex-
hairdressers as "stippling" The hair
is then fuffed a trile and pulled over
both ears, and with most women few
locks should be pulled down over the
tips of the ear, as they are rarely well
formed. The remaining hair is then
knotted loosely and the first step is
completed.
No false hair should be worn until
the next day when, the head having
been thoroughly aired, the hair is
sprinkled with scented meal and thor
oughly brushed and lifted with the fin
gers. 1t is now ready to puff and curl
to the hearts content into the Juno"
the "Corday," the Josephine and all
their. cousins.
Just here might insert few
Don'ts."
A Few Dont's
Don't rough comb the hair in order
to fluff it.
Ion use TOO many halrpinS.
Don't scalp yourself with hat pins.
Don't band the hair on hot days as it
canses the hair to fall
Don't bleach or peroxide the hair.
Have it treated and vitalized into its
upon nature
Don't wear rats they overhead the
head.
Now you will say, "If I must not
rough comb the hair nor wear rats, how
IN the world am l to attain a fluffy,
loosely knotted couture, especially if
my hair is not overly abundant" Even
the luxuriant coiffure of ancient Greece
can be quite easily simulated by the use
of a very hygienic contrivance made of
extremely lightweight hair-covered
wire, woven In the shape of mound,
which IS fitted to the back of the head
and held in place by means of narrow
rubber band that snaps over the crown
of the head and concealed underneath
the front hair
To this one can easily fasten a switch
and pin innumerablc pieces fof made
puffs, curls and coils, quite securely, and
also spread to excellent advantage ones
own hair if artificial means are not used.
French Invention
A most clever French trick (the
French women are so clever) is to ar
range the hair to the hat. This is to
fasten artificial hair to the hat, thus
relieving all heat or pressure from the
head. This also has the excellent adj
vantage of never becoming loose or
tousled-looking, and when the hat with
the hair is removed one feels so delight
fully free and comfortable Also half
