She declares she has discovered for them and for the rest of women a method of halrdress which relegates hairpins to an age gone by. "Simply bring the hair down under the chin, carry It to the back of the neck, and there braid and tie it into a bun, as you have ordinarily done," said Miss Eis. "I have found this way an excellent and comfortable way of iastening my hair, and. I believe, one that is attractive as well as unusual. "Done up in this fashion, it cannot possibly fall down and thus will save women a' good deal of embarrassment. Of course, on the stage in 'Halloween, I am called upon to dance in such strenuous fashion that I find it advis able to cover my hair with a thin net, bat the woman around the house or out walking will never have occasion to take this precaution."
