HOW TO MAKE The

Coifures for Girls and Young

BY ELIZABETH LEE.

There will be no trouble about dressing
the hair to suit the perfectly round face
provided the features are regular: but
when the round face is inclined to be
fat. certain notifications become neces-
sary.
In the first place. there must never be
the slightest bit Of straining OF the hair
from any point on the head Of woman
possessing q round. fat face. This Is
imperative. ~
The most becoming coiffure for this
type of face is to fun the hair all around
the face and dress 1t high upon the
head. This arrangement suggests length
to the face. breaking the moon-shape.
and the fluffy hair giving the requisite
softening effect.
