HAIR PARTING

A finely-shaped, well-poised head and beautiful hair may often be marred by tho position of the parting. Experiment in an idle moment with your hair, and you may find that a little alteration here and there makes you look much more, attractive. Often, though, tho hair parting is on tho wrong side of the head, and may havo to be arranged on the opposite side before the desired effect is secured, say» an English writer.

Women who follow .French fashions often moot with this difficulty when they attempt to arrange their hair to suit their faces. This is because French mannequins almost invariably part tbeir liair on'the right side, whereas we scorn to prefer tho left side. The parting is often decided by the slant of a hat, and, while we favour a slant from left to right, the French method is vieovorsa. Cross the two methods, and tho effect is spoilt.

Even when you find a parting tn suit your features it should not be adher«d to too slavishly. Alter it a fraction of an inch to right or left occasionally, and the- "bald look" caused by a gradually widening parting will be avoided.

The hair should always be parted at the side of the face which you wish to show most, for the hair always falls best from the parted side. Every woman's profile is more attractive viewed from one side than from the other. As a, rule tho left side is the better. .See if you conform to this rule, or whether you arc an exception, and arrange Hie hair accordingly. Tako a little trouble with your hair parting, :'.ml •■•■u are sure to find one Unit suits yniii .'i.-n porfuetly. Half an hum- heJ'nri! liie mirror will show you the right onCj and tho rust is easy,
