 The flat coiffure is very often un- curled, but there are SO few women with features that will admit of this treatment that the majority of cultures have at least some sign of waves. The hair is curled before 1t is arranged into Its final lines. It is then brushed down around the head. and divided in half from ear to ear.
 Tie the back strand securely as shown in the photograph. This will not only keep the section separate, but 1t will give . foundation oh which to pin the knot when 1t comes time to arrange 1t.
 The next step Is to divide the hair at the side, tAking just small DOT tion near the ear and pinning the hair to the back section. Draw the hair to form stallop as indicated. At first { you win have difficulty in getting the hair to stay in such position, but the use of hair pins and the occasional ap- plicatton of brilliantine will do much to train the hair in the way it should -d.

you should wear a hair net. but be sure to arrange it loosely. Loosen up the hair underneath the net by raising 1t with hairpins where it seems to be too tightly drawn for grace. 4l
 To adjust the hair net cleverly re- quires practice. Begin by pinning the net at each side of the head in front of the temples, and then draw the ends loosely toward the back, where they should be fastened at the nape of the neck. Use small invisible hairpins for the purpose. If possible, get the pins to match the color of your hair

lNYl c many girls look forward to a kE hotel dinner as a dreaded or s deal, rather than Q pleasure.
 They are suret that they will make mistakes at every'turn, and rath- CT than prove themselves ridiculous, they inventN excuses forl refusing an invitation.
 Of course,sthe young girlis governed by her motherNin acceptingsinvitatton of this nature; but when she has reached the age of discretion. she may go to dinner at hotel, unchaperoned, provided the customs of her locality sanction such an arrangement, and on condition that her escort is thorough ly reliable.
 Etiquette peculiar to hotels virtual ly does not exist, the rules followed there being identical with those obeyed at any home dinner, and all that is needed for the amateur is to use her common sense. If a girl conducts herself generally in @ ladylike man. her. she need not be at a loss on such occasions.
 The first difficulty a girl presents is what she shall wear. Is it to be an evening gown or a suit? This depends wy AiuSd Oh IuC udtuIc Ol tue cuLcI- tainment that has preceded or is to fol- low the dinner. Very often, after a long, healthy. appeti. .e-giving walk. dinner is proposed. On the other hand, it precedes theater engagement. The costume that hefits most occasions is a street suit, with a dressy blouse and becoming though not too elaborate hat. An afternoon dress with separate coat is also approprite. Remember that you can never err through too simple a garb. Even though others are more elaborately dressed, if you do not call too much attention to yourself, mo- body can criticise nor are you bring ing unfavorable notice to yourself. If you are going to a party, find out if it will be formal, so that you will be able to wear evening dress, if the oth- CTS decide to do so.
 If you go in street costume, the hat is always worn at dinner, and the coat may be worn into the dining room and there removed. or left in the ladies' cloak room to be checked and held for your return. It is the escorts place to propose the latter plan if he wishes you to be relieved of the burden of

~ UEER indeed are the things
 chosen by some persons for NS table coverings. In houses
 where the floors are spread with rich rugs one will sometimes mo- tice table coverings utterly out of keep ing with the surroundings. It is by no means unusual to see handsome. pol ished mahogany table in the living room. with a jarring note in the way of a starched runner of Mexican drawn work linen, or possibly round cluny lace and linen piece under the standard lamp. This seems like desc cration. Wash doilies or washable lace affairs, unless unusually rare, odd or interesting, are far from being the correct things to use in living rooms and halls or in any formal room as table covers. Otherwise attractive and artistic effects may be altogether spoiled by just such inappropriate things. In general 1t may be said that white coverings are not suitable for the table in the living room and that it is not necessary to cover the whole table, unless 6 handsome rug Is used.

in a seed bed the best time is
 late in the afternoon. If the little plants are thick and not easily separated, it is a good plan to set clumps of them in shallow pan of water. The water will loosen the earth without disturbing the roots. and then the tiny seedlings may be sep arated without difficulty. And after the little plants are in their new loca- tions they should be given water with generous hand.
