the time and trouble of dressing is
saved, for it you come in late in the
afternoon to dress hurriedly for din
ner you may quickly adjust fascinating
little lace cap that also has its hair fas-
tened on in readiness.
One very chic little woman of my &C
quaintance has six of these quaint caps
with the hair arranged in an appro-
Pirate fashion for the time of day when
it is to be worn. She has coy little
frilled caps for breakfast with no hair
attached, but with huge fluffy crown
that comes well down over her own hair,
covering all its deficiencies, and finished
with coquettish little frills that make
most charningly girlish frame for her
otherwise rather plain face. For mid
| day wear cap of lace is substituted,
liaTlng coronation braid
For other and more elaborate occa-
siens there are all sorts of intricate ap-
Epearing coiffures that are adjusted in
half a minute which ordinarily one
would have been obliged to spend half
or three-quarters of an hour in pre-
pairing.
If one contemplates this pretty habit
of wearing caps she must hold a long
consultation with her mirror and make
certain just what style is best suited to
her particular beauty, or lack of beauty
One may appear ten years younger if
properly capped, but middle aged women
should beware of rosebuds and blue or
pink bows if they would not APPEAR lu-
dicTous. If, however, they possess the
great good fortune to have well-pre-
served skins then for their keen delec-
tation are innunerable dainty CONNECTIONS
of delicate pink little moss rosebuds
nestled away in soft, flny lace, or
of coy little frills caught up over the
left ear by a demure little ehoux of
pink or blue ribbon, making the wearer
as coquettish in appearance as sixteen
year-old girl.
AS for ornaments, there are innumer-
able beautifully made roses, apple bios
SONS and other similar flowers of chif-
fon and satin that take on a most life7like
resemblance through the deft fingers
that fashion them Whorls of gol-
den wheat fastened in with black Jet
cabacfons are most effective, and there
are all sorts of bands of pearls, rhine
stones, corals, tiny flowers and ribbon
for banding the hair.
Large square-ended shell pins are
much in vogue, and many have richly
carved ends. Grecian combs are also
in good taste, and give finishing touch
to the Juno and other Grecian forms of
head-dress
Many women are very negligent in
the care of the hair, contenting them
selves with a weekly visit to the hair
dresser, while much of the treatment
can not only be done at home, but will
afford far better results if practiced
more frequently just before retiring and
upon awakening in the morning
Very easy and simple to accomplish
by ones self is to lift the hair from, the
head with ones fingers, giving it light
massage with the hnger-tips wet I'm
warm oil, then shaking it gently to air
it thoroughly. Another life-giving habit
is to constantly change the parting,
moving it from left to right and back
again, but never two days in the same
spot Ever so slightly may be the
changed part, perhaps only few hairs,
but that rests the roots and does not
allow the hair to become thin or fat
along the part.
Especially should the massage be ad-
rninistered along the hair line, or the
hair bordering the face and neck, for
if this be thin and scraggly in appear
anee all the effect of careful couture
is quite lost.
For daytime wear the hair should be
dressed with puffs or other artificial
hair at the back In the evening the
waves, puffs and curls are arranged
fatty on the top, this being considered
more fashionable.
One of the prettiest of these evening
coiffures is shown in drawing No. 6.
A series of soft puffs, about eight in
number, are arranged irregularly about
the crown of the head with either the
aid of a Transformation or strands of
