Whatever You viii in Coiffures.

Just at present, coiffures are almost
tbs diversified as heads. In the matter
OF hair dressing there are no styles
that govern and about everything IL
left to individual taste. The hair
dresser asks you what you will have,
and is prepared to execute any sort
of order. even to bobbing Off half your
locks and curling what is left of them.
He Is not arbitrary about single
thing, but is insistent that waved hair
is better than straight hair, no matter
what style you may elect to make
your own.
Young women like the style in which
<Ihe hair is combed back Off the fore
head SO well that they are reluctant
TO part with it. 1t Is still favorite.
But it is much less becoming than
waves or curls about the face, and
newer coiffures insist upon covering
at least portion Of the forehead. All
of them present waved hair as an es-
! sential feature and all Of them are
cxquisitely neat.
A couture for evening dress is shown
IN the picture, with the hair parted a
little to one side and waved. Only
half of the forehead Is uncovered and
the waved hair almost covers the ears.

Three Pretty Vanity Cases.

Vanity bags bob up or dangle in
the most unexpected places. They
swing from umbrella handles and
from fans-they are concealed in shop
ping and party bags, and are even sus-
pended from pretty garters. But vanity
cases are frankly carried in the hand
and hold. in the most compact arrange
ment, all the aids needed in emer-
gency cases of beauty in distress. They
also accommodate small coins-in
case they are wanted.
In the illustration three cases made
Of German silver are selected from an
array of many different patterns.
There are perfectly plain cases with
polished surface and others with satin
finish, but, in the long run, the fancier
cases look better than the plain ones.
In the case at the left, two uncompro-
missing dragons, rampant against field
