Women of Fashion Are Discarding Rats and Puffs Good Appear ance Depends Largely on the Care Bestowed. What can be prettier or more allur ing than the simplified way of wear ing the hair recently adopted by wom en of fashion? Rats and puffs, scented or other wise, hare been entirely discarded, and the woman appears with her hair parted neatly in the middle and drawn loosely back to form a chignon, where a few false curls may be in terpolated. It is a subject for congratulation that we again see in its natural set ting the lovely brow of the American woman. To wear all sorts of bejeweled combs and hair ornaments is, howeTer, still "correct," and now is just the time to search grandmother's old horsehair trunk for the jewelry of by-gone days. Avoid strong soaps, alkalis such as soda and ammonia, hair tonics of which you are not sure, and too much hot water. These all dry up natural oil and make the hair harsh, dry and given to falling. . Depend on regular brushing of the hair rather than on tonics. Ten min utes' stiff brushing twice a day will do wonders for thinning hair. Keep the hair absolutely clean. This may be assisted by a dry shampoo if a wet one cannot be given frequently. For a dry shampoo powder the hair and scalp well and brush until every particle of powder is gone. Hair should always be thoroughly dried, as the mineling of water with natural oil causes fermentation, which means dandruff and falling locks. Give the hair plenty of light and air. but do not expose it to the hot rays of the sun for long at a time. It bleaches the hair and often blisters the scalp, drying up the natural oil. So long as the scalp moves freely over the skull there is hope for the bald head. Be particular not to use the brushes and combs of another, and see that you do not use your o' n when in an insanitary condition. One reasen for the baldness of men is dne to their carelessness in this respect. Do not burn your hair, twist it Inte tortuous knots, strain it back from the temples or wear it always in tha same coil. SUIT FOR CHILD. Child's suit of cotton ottoman. The skirt is plain. The pretty jacket with basque attached, is orna mented below the waist with buttons and loops of cord. The collar and cuffe are of em broidered batiste. FOR SMALL WOMEN TO WEAR. Some Things She Should Avoid, and Some She Positively Must In clude in Wardrobe. Xo matter how small she is, a woman may always have a good figure. If she has not one to begin with, she should economize in some other part of her wardrobe, and call in the services of a good corsetiere. If she cannot be impressive, she can at least be neat and good to look at. Use only straight up and down lines in the development of your gar ments. Whatever you do, allow nothing which cuts the figure horizontally. The princess model, which is so much a part of the present mode, should be a cause of rejoicing among small women. Do not year shirt-waists and skirts of contrasting materials. This cuts the figure in half, and iessens greatly the effect of height. Dispense with belts, if possible, and if not, make them as narrow as pos sible, and always of the same mate rial as the frock. Coats may be almost any length but that most usual of all, the three quarter. This is usually fatal. Straight coat seams may be trimmed, but neTer the lower edge. A trimming there would cat ti figure in two. White Veils. White is a favorite in veils, and lace leads in modishness. real lace be ing, of course, the most desirable, says Vogue. Put it is very expensive, and the imitations as a rule look cheap and do not wear well. By those w ho wish to be in the fashion for a moderate cost white silk Brussels net is substituted for lace with excellent effect. Its appearance is very smart indeed. The upper edge need not be finished at all; the lower edge and the ends are whipped with heavy mer cerized floss, drawn through very easily so that it does not pucker or draw. This style veil is, of coarse, pinned in close at the top only, and is left hanging free about the shoulder The meanest people on earth are those who know how to conceal their selfishness and envy.
