SIMPLE COUTURE THE BEST
Paris Has Set Fashion Which 10 Emil.
nently Becoming 70 Most Wom.
en-ChIffon Again.

It is the fashion in Paris to dress
the hair exceedingly simple. The new.
est method. however. reminds one Of
q bath coiffure"-the hair. slightly
waved. being drawn back closely from
the face and twisted into careless
knot at the nape of the neck.
The couture Ia eminently becoming
to q pretty girl with well.shaped
head. It demands that the hair shall
be very silky and possessed of an ap.
parently natural ripple.
The chign0n 10 here again. Not .
stir bun but soft soil. held In place
by tortoise shell pins, which lies
against the back Of the neck. and there
10 no parting visible in front.
The Parisiennes are also adopting
in the evening style Of headdress
which calls for the presence Of highly
ornamental combs. These are com.
bined with simple. but highly effec.
tive couture.
The hair. always slightly waved, ia
drawn back over light frizette and
arranged In series OF small coils and
curls at the back of the head, not low
down. but, on the other hand, not high
up. The coils and curls cover the mid
die of the head at the back and the
comb juts out at one side.

HANDS REQUIRE MUCH CARE
Woman's Attraetiveness Depends .
Great Deal on Their Dainty and
Proper Appearance.

Beautiful hands are sign Of good
breeding, 1t is said. and certain 1t is
that no one who neglects her hands
can expect them to look well. Only
regular attention and steady care
bring forth any results in identifying
the hands. The girl who works for
her living need not despair, however,
for II she will devote few moments
each night to her hands they will look
almost as well as those of the lady Of
leisure.
Be careful first of all as to how the
hands are washed--in tepid water Is
the most satisfactory, for It is not too
cold to remove the dirt and not too
hot to redden the flesh. Constantly
changing soap is very bad for the skin.
A good soap should be selected and be
used regularly without change. Be
sure that all the soap is of the hands.
then dry thoroughly. SO that the flesh
is not left damp and moist.
Once a month Is none too often to
60 to professional manicurist, but by
watching attentively how the work il
done. you may be able to do your
manicuring at home the rest Of the
time. The monthly visit will just
serve to keep the nails shaped rightly
II you do them yourself once or twice
q week. Invest in O good nail file,
some emery boards, q cuticle scissors,
q nail bleach, an orange stick, q pol.
ish and some powdered pumice stone.

LINGERIE OF FLESH COLOR
Women No Longer Express Their One.
Tlme Decided Preference for Un.
derWear OF Plain White.

Such hold has flesh color obtained
on the popular fancy that even in
batiste flesh color Is much used for
nightgowns and underwear. Flesh.
color batiste Is very effective EN-.
broidered in white or in brighten pink
and pale blue. A white scallOp with q
dainty floral design in white is par.
ticularly attractive on the pale.tinted
background, and many a pretty dress.
ing jacket, nightgown and chemise or
camisole Is embroidered with the
white. When blue Is used In the en-
broidery 1t must be used with caution,
and In some patterns Is better COM
bined with white, but 1t Is very of.
fective to run pale blue ribbon In flesh
colored lingerie, whether of batiste or
silk or satin and this Is being done q
great deal by the specially shops
which make point of dainty and un.
usual lingerie creations. The combi-
nation OF pink and blue Is gaining
steadily in favor in this connection
and is useful, as we'll as attractive.
since it allows of the garments use
with either pink or blue over finery.

WAISTS IN GREAT VARIETY
All Styles and Materials Are Offered
-smoek Type One Of Those Most
In Favor.

There is great variety in the new
waist styles. There are dressy waists
made of lace, chiffon, sheer silk Grape
and novelty silks with smart new
touches, such as the full sleeve, Grape
collar, bolero effect. etc. Then there
are the semitailored models for prac.

in narrow bindings down the fronts,
pockets, collar and cuffs, or the com.
binati0n of materials Of different
weave or Of contrasting colors.
Among practical waists is the nor.
folk style, with broad plaits and
tailored belt. There Is q fare in the
skirt which slightly ripples over the
hips. The smock type of waist Is in
loose. straight cut. Coarse linen waists,
loosely woven c0ttons in gold, Belgian
blue, tan, gray and rose are finished
or with big buttons. Various styles
Of binding and broad belts are used.

Of self.material heavily stitched. Sepa.
rate skirts are frequently made Of the

attractive when worn with matching
skirt than when worn with q skirt OF
contrasting material.
Dimities In solid color and in con.
trasting shades are among the newest
thin waists. White dimities in fine
striped patterns are very smart when
trimmed with bindings Of colored.
striped or plated dimities. Broken
stripes In color about one inch wide
alternate with stripes of solid white.
For the slender woman extremely wide
frills are used In the front or side
