I clutched at the handle In an Incompetent sort of way, and tried to lower It, since It was difficult to hold and I was already very wet, but the catch would not work, and I struggled vainly with It until a strong brown hand quietly closed over mine and I recognized the signet ring with Psyche Coiffure d lmnin-cssary- sldc-comb- By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Tbe beautiful hair dress shown here has made a veritable seusatlun, and it is a pleasure to reproduce it for our readers. Without the small pleasing little skeleton cap shown In the picture, It retains all the fascination of the Psyche coiffure, and Is thoroughly practical for present millinery modes. The hairdresser has taken certain small liberties with her classic modol in order to accommodate the rolffure to the hat and brow of the wearer, and they have turned out to be an Improvement, since they enhance the beauty of both the face and hat. The head dresa, shown In our photograph, was adapted specially to this coiffure and leaves nothing to be desired. It may be said in passing that the head dress shown Is made of gold ribbon and rhinestone ornaments set In gold. Tbe aigrette at the side Is pure white. Every one will see at a glance Its simplicity of construction, and appreciate the beauty of this coiffure ornament. The foundation on which it Is fashioned Is simply buckram cut in narrow bands and wired before covering with ribbon. It does not require an abundance of natural hair to build this style of coiffure. The hair, however, must be waved before It la dressed. The regular ondulallons of the Marcel wave may be used, but are not absolutely essential. The hair la parted off In the usual manner, and that portion about tbe face and neck waved In loose. Irregular curves. All the remainder of the hair (much or little) Is tied at the back of the head and arranged Id a coll. This forms the foundation for the balance of the coiffure. If the hair Is thick and heavy It will not be necessary to use a roll at all. The hair at each side In this case Is simply ratted , that la, combed toward the scalp Inslead of from It, and then lightly smoothed with the comb on the outside. .It Is then brought back to tbe coll, pinned to It, and the ends fastened under ft. A small jiortion of the waved hair on top of the head Is treated In the same BEST BAG FOR THE BROOM 8hould Be Made to Fit, with an ing at the Side Good Tick- ing Open- way and brought buck lying loosely over the ton, wiih Its end fastened under tlie coll. The hair across the fore head is arranged In a loose pompadour, the ends lightly twisted, and brought bock to tbe coll If long enough to reach. If not, they are concealed under that portion on top of the head which has already been fastened Into the coil. This pompadour la then pulled forward and down over the brow and parted lightly with the fingers, a little to one aide. Invisible pins, fasten It to place, and it Is worn more or less over tbe brow to suit the Individual taste In this matter. A very full cluster of false puffs is placed over and around the coll, where they are firmly pinned to A barette la adjusted under place. them, supporting the short locks at tbe nape of the neck, which usually prove so refractory. Finishing touches are given by pulling the aide hair against the puffs and pinning It to them with invisible pins and curling any short locks which may straggle about the nape of the neck Into little rings. These are held In place with the fluid which hairdressers use for that purpose. The natural hair, unless very curly, will not make satisfactory curls and puffs, and even when one possesses the requisite quantity of naturally curly hair It is much more difficult to manage than the false hair. Moreover, It will not stay well dressed as long and consumes far more time in doing, so that It is economy to buy puffs and Of all things, however, one curia. should get a perfect match in color and texture to one's own hair. When tbe natural hair la very thin It will be necessary to use additional hair across the front of the head, for the hair dress Just described. Several styles are made In front pieces that will fill all the requirements, and when combed In with the natural hair are not to be detected. In adjusting the hat to this coiffure a iiortlon of the hair about the face should he pinned to the undorbrlm or facing of tbe hat.

Finbrellas which can lie folded to into a 21 inch dressing case are the only type which now appeal to the fit college girl who does not like to be burdened with more than one package when traveling. These folding um- brellas come in black, tan, taupe, dark red, blue, brown and green twilled silk, mounted uon stcrl frames and usually have wooden h indies.
