ture 3 1 take it your hair to Is riot not bobbed and AS you give no ider idea as to your particular style I 1 can give you only a few hints the newest styles of dressing the hair show a decided tendency toward a more simple style than that of the past few years la in moist moat cases it Is waved or curled and arranged without puffs or roughing and done low in the back in a knot or fancy combs and ornaments nain ants across the front or across the fore forehead hotd are used a great deal for evening wear W 4 girls sixteen yearn yeara old wear dresses about 10 inches from the floor the colors roost most popular at present seem to be la in the lighter shades ot of brown brow n called wood shades sandalwood und and oakwood for street and general wear also shades of blue black etc
