New Autumn Coiffures.

essary to milady's happiness as are
new shapes in hats. How dreary me
would be if every woman's hat were
exactly like every other woman S, OF
If there We're only three or four diff
ferent models available, instead of the
scores and hundreds of shapes from
which one may choose!
Tho variety in coiffures is not so
great as that in chapeaux, especially
since the bob has become common
Consequently, everything that seems
new in hair dressing is welcomed with
hopeful enthusiasm.
Two novel ways to part bobbed hair
are illustrated in n recent issue of the
American Hairdresser, and they may
be adapted easily to hair that is being
allowed to grow or to long hair. In
one OF these styles the part runs OBJ
liquely backward from points above
the outer ends of tho eyebrows and
joins little below the top Of the head
behind. The front hair is brushed for
ward in the manner of long bang
and falls in waves and Curls to the
eyebrows. The hair below the circular
part is all brushed backward with the
exception of a short lock that is curled
on the cheek in front of the ear. The
single pearl earrings, is exposed.
When the back hair is fairly long
it may be divided down the center.
Give each strand Of the hair a twist
near the head and then cross the right
strand over to the left side of the head,
turn the ends under and pin them
firmly. Pin the left-hand strand of
hair over on the right side of the cen
ter part. Thrust Il strong hairpin in
at the crossing of the two strands to
hold them securely.
A second new way to part the hair
begins over the center of the right eye
brow and dips downward behind and
then comes around to the left side in
front to a point above the middle of
the left eyebrow. The top section of
hair is brushed smoothly over the
crown of the head to the left and the
ends are curled. The hair on each side
may be waved and allowed to hang
over the ears if it is too short to pull
back. If the back hair is long enough
1t looks charming arranged in two
small coils side by side and placed
rather low, so as to conceal the short,
struggling hairs on the nape of the
neck.
The first coiffure described above is
becoming to girls with high foreheads
and rather long, slender faces. The
second is suitable for oval or round
faces.
Oily Hair.
Dear Miss Leeds: have very oily
hair; about two days after 1 wash it
it begins to get oily again. Does
washing my hair every week help to
remedy this condition? Please tell me
what to use to get the oil out of my
hair?-LOUISE P.
Answer: An oily condition of the
hair which is called "oily seborrhea"
or "Seborrhea capitis" is due to an
oversecretion of sebum from the
sebaceous glands. The oil glands are
too active, and this makes frequent
shampoos seem necessary. The trou-
BILE calls for the use of an astringent
hair tonic as well as special treat
ments. Although the hair should be
kept clean by shampooing regularly
there is such q thing as washing it to
death.
Warm olive oil may be used before
the shampoo in many cases. AL
though the hair appears oily, very
often it is starving for want of oil,
as the hair itself Is not absorbing
the natural oil that is excessive. Hair
of this type should be aired and given
sun bath every day. Before the
shampoo apply a little astringent
tonic and massage the scalp. Then
heat a little oil and apply it evenly.
Shampoo, and rinse thoroughly in
several waters. Dry partly. and use
the tonic again. Finish drying in the
open air if possible.
The following tonic may be used
two or three times week as well as
before and after the shampoo: Four
ounces Of bay rum, n dram salicylic
acid, u dram tincture Of cantharides,
10 drops tincture capsicum, 1 ounce
Of alcohol. Shake well together.
The systematic care for several
months is very necessary as we'll as
toning up the health in general. The
