Hygienically, the simple arrangement
is the best. The hair should be dressed
so it will not be pulled tightly in the
opposite direction of its growth. The
modish coiffure is not inclined toward
extravagant or voluminous fashions.
Poets may enthuse about the wind
blown" tresses of milady, but in real
life the smooth polished hair is found
more attractive.
The hair net is really necessity to
keep the short locks in place. Many
persons in dressing their own hair ar
range it too far over the brows in a
straight line across the forehead. A soft
fringe or pompadour at some one point
helps overcome stiff effect.
The American women are at last be-
ginning to realize that the back of her
head, the back of her gown and the back
of her shoes is of even greater impor,
than the front view because she can al
ways smile and thus make people forget
her personal appearance. The use of
hand mirror, though employed frequent
ly, should be used with greater fire.

The marcel wave is invariably becom-

iron is not applied too hot. If the hail
is waved each time after the shampoo
it will retain its wave from one period
TO the next.

of Eugene In connection with oduca-
tional movements, little has been heard
of the work of Louise Brigham, who
identified serself with sociological
work in New York where she taught the
slum children TO construct furniture out
of dry-goods boxes. In recognition Of
the results she obtained, the officials
gave her small brick house
on the fair grounds which she furnished
on the upper floor with box furniture
covered with cretonne, and the lower
floor with redwood furniture out Of
compliment to California. SO much
praise from all quarters Of the country
has been lavished upon the educational
exhibit Of Oregon that the people of the
state may well feel indebted TO those
who so successfully took charge Of it.
Among those special mention can be
made Of u. y, Carlton, assistant state
superintendent Of schools, whose execu.
tive ability and keen interest in the
undertaking contributed much TO the
visible outcome.
Salem's appreciation Of Miss Cosper
was most graciously revealed IN the
courtesy Of Mr. Ruef, who sent n box Of
handsome asters TO the educational de-

American hair dressers have developed
new styles peculiarly adapted to the
American type of feminine attractive
ness. The front hair is waved and ar
ranged in low or medium pompadour
and brought to the back. A large and
subtle figure eight completes the head
dress, or Just simple knot, rather low
at the back, instead of the French roll.
This simple style of hair dressing de-
mands an ornament to add chic. The
shell dagger pins thrust through at al
most any angle do the double duty of
holding the hair as we'll as the hat in
place.
Large barettes constitute another val
liable accessory because they help to keep
the hair fiat and they facilitate the put
ting on Of the hat and the maintaining
of neat appearance after the hat has
been removed
Dainty curls give soft line to the
face, and make the prettiness of the face
prettier. The curls are worn at the
crown of the head with soft marcel
wave, and may be kept in place by a net
though they appear to fall loose and
gracefully.
If the hair is dressed low cluster OF
curls nestle at the nap of the neck The
front hair is waved slantwise softly and
parted at the side. Amid the curlS is
placed one of the new question mark
pins.
