U AN TI TI KS of puffs and curls,
and all sorts of little head-
dresses, continue to mark the
coiffure of milady of fashion wher. she
prepares to do honor to a state occa-
sion, or to dress with dignity. This
elaboration in hair dressing is very
becoming in the majority of cases,
and those women who have once tried
It realize the charm of it. Only the
grand beauty may turn her back upon
careful arrangement of the hair and
still be as attractive as her artfully-
groomed sister who knows the fas-
cination of soft curls and smooth
puffs.
Unless one has plenty of time and
some one to help out, the natural hair
can hardly be arranged in the man-
ner shown in the illustrations. No
matter how generous nature may
have been, puffs and curls are, as a
rule, pinned on. Mere man may long
to believe them growing on the head
of her he admires, but when the
knowledge dawns on him that they do
not, he still confesses to their fascina-
tion.
Not everyone can accomplish a suc-
cessful coiffure either simple or com-
plex, and it is therefore a good plan

just as one decides upon a becoming

"i have had the most beautiful tin
this week just being busy. One day 1
would go downtown and buy things
and have them sent home and the
next day I'd go down and take them
back. Between whiles I'd show them
to all my friends who dropped in and
have them tell me why they didn t
like my selections. When nobody
dropped in I'd call on them and ex-
plain to them why 1 disapproved of
their purchases and advise them to
return them at once. Of course, all
this criticism was taken in the proper
spirit.
"When you've purchased a perfect
love of a blue chiffon gown and get it
home only to find it is purple instead
of blue, you wouldn't have any re-«
