The New Flat Coiffure. j Surely the hairdressers have their in- iiinss this season as well as the dres-I dres-I makers. They have had to learn more I new ways of dressing the hair than for 1 a decade. !The coiffure swung from one epoch to another like a compass needle in a ;-torm. No sooner was one style settled than another appeared. ; The problem of the hairdressers . is ' also the problem of the women them-t them-t selves. If they would be fashionably oit'fured they spend hours before the mirror. There are enough styles from i which to choose a becoming one, but it ' is not always easy to know how to r-:: r-:: , run so even the becoming coiffure. "iJe' Hairdresslng is exceedingly difficult t and as important as in the colonial days cit pompadour, puffs, powder and curls. The knot first dropped from the top of j bead to nape of ncek. This set every oman to work to change her coiffure, i-causi: her hat wouldn't fit with her hair in the old way. Then masses of puffs gave way to . ' three: then these changed to one ini- mense loose one. 1 -s fririss icarneo 10 arrange ir.is one. the knot abruptly left the nape of the neck and followed the First Empire M:es by being placed at the crown of the head, three inches from the nape c.f I the neck. I The verdict then went out that there I must be no sagging behind the cars or J at the back. The fiat, tight line from the i-dge of the hair to three inches I .'oove it must be observed. I Thic was the law in halrdressins in 1 li e Diivctoire period, and it came l ack I in tuil force. It had to bo secured in t place with a hidden comb, and this was : new trick hard to learn after years i "f letting tho hair droop at the back. J The pompadour went out ct the be- : uinniny of the sason. It was flattened j o yond recognition. It remained un- parted for sonie time, and then the side parting came in with a rush. I The "rat" entirely disappeared from j Hie top of the head, but it is a mistake t to rut it around the back of the nape f the neck as is too often done. It ! must be about three inches above the i line of growth, and upon it rests the i mass of hair over cars and at back, i The next step was to ripple- the hair in the old-fashioned way and bring it ( .own over the tip of the ears. Few j faces. e.uld stand this, so it is only a j rare coiffure. Tin- next step is hy far the most diftV i 'i i nil. False puffs, curls and rolls I : '1 iliminated.

' It is i.ot possible that the majority eaj wear such a coiffure, but it is wrongly probable that ;t will put the tVyche and the coronet of puffs out of I 'asiiion. The Koman braid, false or real, will be wound around the head i a:.d pinned in place. 5 Just how far the flat hair over the ' iehead will be accupted cannot be told ;ust vet. The fashionables have aeeept- k : It without question, and they wear V :!e;r hair parted at the side and drawn 9 '..a ll down over the forehead, then lifted f 'vt r the ears.

HO.V.EWADE LOTIONS BLEACH COMPLEXION "When it becomes necessary to treat tne complexion with a cream or lotion, I t is desirable to select one that will 'ften and also whiten. As a rule, anv ! preparation tbat softens is likely to nave a. slightly bleaching efTect. he-t-ause the latter is included in a scheme Oi general Improvement. Kut a woman v. ho wishes the cream action to be lesa slow may like to try a paste made from two ounces of sweet almond oil. 1G0 c tains each of white wax and sperma-evti. sperma-evti. fifty grains of powderrd and sifted icnzoin, 160 grains of rich starch and seven and one-half grains of pure ear-mine. ear-mine. The wax and spermaceti are melted m a cup set into hot wnler. the benzoin being added at the time. The oil is purd in as the fats ar melted, and the cup removed from heat. The liquid Is beaten a moment with a fork and iho cat mine and starch are mixed at th same lime. Blending must be carefully-done carefully-done to prevent lumps. If perfume is wished, two drops of oil of violets should be added just before the grease hardens. This cream, which, owing to the benzoin, ben-zoin, is particularly whitening, is, especially espe-cially adapted to use on the skin in the evening before applying powder. It mty also be rubbed over the cheeks during the day, wiping off any superfluous super-fluous quantity before putting on powder. pow-der. Its action on the skin :s beneficial. Lotion That Has No Grease. A person who objects to the use of grease and still wishes to use a tonic rnay like a lotion made fpom one and one-half drams of citric acid, five and one-half ounces of hot water, a drain of borax and half an ounce of glycerin. The borax and acid are dissolved in the liquid, the glycerin going in last. This may be freely used on the face at any time, wiping it off before going out of doors. When coming in from the street tf the skin is dusty the lotion may be used as a cleansing agent, mopping the face freely before washing in warm water, then finishing with a cold rinse. On the same order is another lotion of two ounces of pure honey, half an ounce of glycerin, half an ounce of rectified spirits and one and one-half drams of pure citric ecid. The honey and glycerin gly-cerin are put together in a cup set into hot water, and as the two mingle the spirits, in which the acid has been dissolved, dis-solved, is added. The grease must be cold before the I spirits is mingled. March Winds Injure Skin. This, like the first lotion, may be used at any time, and the skin will be kept in better condition if the liquid is applied as a cleansing agent before water is used. March winds, which are now prevailing, pre-vailing, are often the ruination of a delicate del-icate skin if water is put on before some of the antural oils have been restored. |
