The flowers for this team of nosegays may be real or artificial They should be small; their color delicate. Pink sweetheart roses, undersized daisies and other In-sison In-sison flowers are a good choice Victor Vito, New York stylist who advocates a flower-sprigged hair-do for young customers like the one at left, explains his tricks of glamorizing a head with posies. The hair-do best suited for flowers, he says, is parted at the side or center; is waved slightly on too of the head; is drawn soft ly back and anchored. Anchor hair to head on each side, coax loose ends into curl, and with a tuck comb secure all hair4nto one strand at the back of the neck and snap a rubber band around it Into the rubber band weave short-stemmed flowers and secure these with bobble pins. To make the matching nosegay, which, a party-going girl carries in her hand, frame your flowers with a ruffle of lace paper. A lace-paper doily from which you poke out the center will do nicely as a frame for your nosegay. DOING IT THE HARD WAY CARLSBAD. N. M.
