Ml Pni Rxvzs Over "The ffetre
THJSRE Is a story told of a young
pi an who when he cam' to
marry or, rather, to propose
marriage Intended to ask but
one question of the lady of his choice.
That question was: "Do you always
wear your hair the same way?" If
the answer was In the affirmative, her
fate was settled.
There fs a good deal beyond this seem
ingly arbitrary and unjust discrimina
tion. The girl who never changes Is the
one who does not gcpw. Always tier
Ideas, her pinions, her views, her
ethics, remain undeveloped and Imita
tive, ar are her mode of attire and of
ball-dressing.
Perhaps this Is too serious a view of
the subject, and one that will not appeal
to the practical minds of the reader
of this rage. Here, then. Is an even
more potent reason for the non-visionary:
to change the style of the coiffure
In summer is the surest, and Indeed the
only, way to Insure coolness.
No matter how light her clothes, no
girl or woman can feel comfortable on
. a July day with a. .heavy pompadour
adorning the front and a heavier coil
the back of her head. Without, then,
considering th philosophical effect of
change upon htr mentality, let her re
solve today to adopt for the next -few
months a cooler mode of hair dressing
than she now affects.
It la by no means necessary that sim
plicity should Involve dowdiness. Every'
orie of the styles here Illustrated la
pretty, as well as easy to arrange, and
the only difficulty Is In the choice of a
coiffure that will suit one's face and
the shape of one's head. t
ATAVOBITE PAE1S STYLE
The first style Is Intended for one
with an oval face and an abund
ance of hair. All Paris raves over the
"natte," as the braid wound around
the head Is culled, and It Is the best of
styles for those who never know quite
how to dispose of a long and thick crop
of hair.
Sometimes the plait Is, as here shown,
a single heavy one, and sometimes It
Is divided and Interwoven, giving per
haps the better effect. The back la
loosely drawn up, and the front Is
parted and waved back - to the crown.
The sides should be puffed out, so that
the appearance of heaviness may be
maintained. No combs are here re
quired, but a numbor of strong bone
hairpins must be used.
.This style Is simplicity itself; Its ar-
nment consists merely of drawing
the mint and back hair loosely together
after the front has been parted, fasten-

Ing and platting.
The girl with thin hair should avoid
this style, as It emphasises needlessly
her scanty locks.
The coiffure shown In the next Illus
tration is particularly suited to a young
face. The hair Is slightly waved and
the whole drawn back from the face
and colled In a "figure 8" at the back.
At the side' the two little curls nat
ural or artificial glvo a coquettish
air, which Justifies Its designation as
a style for evening wear.
A CIECLET OF FLOWERS
When thus .regarded, the flowers
woven In a circlet about half way
down the back of the head ar the
finishing touch of beauty. Unlike the
first photograph, this mode Is suitable
for those with comparatively little
hair, a the soft waving hides defi
ciencies, and the "figure 8" Is the only
part that requires any real display.
Another evening coiffure, suitable
for summer afternoon wear as well,
shows ribbon woven through the hair.
Tho hair la softly waved, as loosely
as possible, and brought up to a puff
or coil on top, and the ribbon la then
passed under it In three places, and
fastened Into a bow. When this has
been done, the side hair is more se
curely pinned, so that it shall not lie
flat on the ribbon, and the arrange
ment is complete.
The girl with the fan exemplifies
what is perhaps the most popular
of these styles, as It Is adapted to
many different types. Is cool, pretty
nd far more becoming than apompa
dour. It is constructed as follows:
First, after brushing and combing
the batr thoroughly, gather It all up
with the comb so that It Is waved
loosely front and back, l.oldlng it in
the left hand with a long lock of
hair at the top. Then Insert a pompa
dour comb, ellghtly curved so as to
raise the hair, and then coll or twist
the hair forward ana fasten with
hairpins. This will leave a smaller
piece of hair still hanging. Bring
this through the coll and around so
that It comes out underneath In front,
and let It hang down. After fastening
the coil more tightly, roll this last
piece upward on the two front fingers,
beginning at the bottom and twisting
toward the head. This will end in a
puff slightly smaller than tBe one be
hind It. Fasten this at the ends, pull
out loosely. Insert the back comb, and
the coiffure Is complete, unless you
wish jo add a bow or ribbon or vel
vet on the right side, or perhaps to
secure the waved side hair better with
light side combs.

since the hair Is simply parted deeply,

cured with pins and three or, perhaps,
four combs. It also looks well with
an oval face, and seems more suited
to brunettes, as the first Is to blondes.
ARTIFICIAL AIDS ABSENT
The chief characteristic of all these
examples of summer halrdresslng Is
the absence of artificial aids. As far
as possible, "rats." switches and
superfluous combs and ornament
should be discarded.
Often a bit of light ribbon will
serve the purpose of a heating and
uncomfortable ornament, and "punctu

days are not the time for hour-long
halrdresslng soances, and the simpler
the better la the rule for even formal
coiffures.
Finally, every one of them avoids
the ubiquitous pompadour, which be
comes so flat and sticky on humid,
hot days, and at the same time points
out an equally becoming style. Al
though they are Intended for summer
wear, several of them may be adopted
for winter use as well.
A word as to the preliminaries.
Many persons seem to think that so
long as they comb their hair well,
brushing Is not necessary. A a mat
ter of fact, nothing can equal the
health and glossiness brought by a
good brushing.
Whatever else be dispensed with,
that should never be. Do not brush
the hair alone, but gave the scalp a
chance to gain that healthy glow
which comes from friction and stimu
lates the growth of the hair.
With these few directions, our sum
mer halrdresslng Is complete. If for
nothing more than Its coolness. It
should be welcomed heartily In these
weltering July and August days.
