Hair.

■Men have so few beauty doctors that they should be especially grateful for the instructions given by Homer Croy on the manipulation of their hair. Leaving out of account those males who have-got to the stage of using a huckaback towel for parting their scanty locks, Mr. Croy considers the needs of others with painstaking thoughtulness : Men with low, squatting foreheads should not pull their hair down over their brows, and men whose foreheads a>'e beginning to work back should invite their locks down. If your hair has quietly slipped down toward your cars on each side, leave it there. If you bring it up in strings and wisps it will merely look like climbing vines, and will never really have the free-and-easy, homelike appearance that ought to be the part of all natural hair.

Do not part your hair any earlier than you can help. Hair is in a hurry these days, anyway. Usually it doesn’t stay more than long enough to make sure that the baby is going to be a boy before it hastens off. It will part of itself soon enough, the best you can do. Before combing your hair you should get acquaintted with the architecture of your face. If your face is of the harvest moon variety, do not inlay your hair. Puli’ it up as much as possible. It’s better to look like a feather duster on a Monday morning than a scratched billiard ball on a Saturday night. But if your face is a long galloping ensemble, do not encourage your hair to fluff. If your head inclines to run up to a cone, do not spread your hair around in imitation of a qxiHn-tree thatch ; rather fluff it up and winrow it for fear some unbred person will begin to talk about spring radish tops.
