THE HAIR.
The happy days when a girl can wear her hair down her back soon passes, and the day arrives on which the skirts are “put down” and the hair is “put up.” The first question that worries her is: “How shall I put it up?” Someone, speaks about the latest fashion, the girl at once goes to a hairdresser, and regardless of whether it suits or not, has her hair coiffured according to the craze of the day. This is a mistake made by hundreds of inexperienced girls. A man does pot look to see if his ideal has her Jiair arranged in “fashion,” but he does look to see if the way sho has it done suits her. Everything depends on the type of face: The girl with an oval face can dress her liair in “Madonna’’ style, with tlie hair simply looped back into a knot at the nape of tha neck, but this would not be suitable for a round baby face that requires “fluffs and curls.” The girl with short, curly hair has many advantages, and is able to pin it up in a minute and look daintily coiffured, but the maiden with long thick tresses that refuse to curl or even wave has a more difficult problem. Thick plaits wound round the head suit many types of beauty, and is an easy way of getting rid of the troublesome “mane.” Certain faces seem made for the Grecian fashion, but it requires the clear-cut features and a tall figure. If the hair is tightly plaited at night, quite a natural wave is the result, but the thing to avoid is “crimp.” This never looks nice, for it gives a common air to the face. Be refined and neat and simple, and then you can make no mistake.
