"grande toilette" demands a

mode of coiffure equally formal, elegant and perfect. The arrangement of the har must

carry out the effect of finished daintiness conveyed by the evening: costume; and though a rigid, over-dressed coiffure, entirely In contrast to the daily manner of doing the hair is to be avoided, there should certainly be a greater formality in the arrangement of the locks than the everyday manner shows. "What shall 1 wear?" is the first question that springs to the feminine mind when an Invitation of importance is received in the morning's mail. And forthwith there are planning and contriving, shopping expeditions and hours at the dressmaker's. Finally the gown in all its glory, supplemented by fan, lace petticoat and dainty slippers, is laid out in readiness for the festivity. But how much preparation is spent on the coiffure? The hair may be shampooed, indeed, before the party, to lend It fluffiness. and twenty minutes instead of five are spent in "doing It up." Fortunate it is if its owner has not tortured It Into unaccustomed frizzes with curling iron or metal curlers so that its changed line around brow and temples destroys the individuality of her face. Middle aged women in superb gowns and meager coiffures utterly lacking In distinction are a common sight at every evening gathering women who spend small fortunes on their silks and laces, their furs, their made-to-order corsets, upon the preservation of their teeth. It does seem a pity. If women would only realize that beautifully cared for and arranged hair can make of an otherwise unnoticeable and rather commonplace individual a personality! If they would but realise the beauty value of the coiffure, a far greater value in the making of attractiveness than handsome clothes or a perfect figure! And almost anyone can have a dlstln-

fancy artificial aid in this respect, there are ways of arranging the thin tresses modish ways too! so that every hair, so to speak, is made the most of. Washing and crimping the hair the day of the party is not enough to give the coiffure modish distinction. In fact it is always a mistake to shampoo the hair immediately before building a formal coiffure. Even a professional colffeuse "can never do anything with" just-washed hair, and the beautifully built arrangement will slip and sag before the evening is over because of the softness and unmanageablenees of the locks. Vash the hair the day before the party and

Every night give the hair "a hundred strokes" with the brush, to make it live and lustrous. Brush twenty-five strokes to the right, twenty-five to the left, twenty-five straight back from the brow to the ends of the hair; then bending over with the head hanging forward, give twenty-fire strokes from nape of neck to the ends of the hair. After the brushing shake the hair back into place and massage lightly with the flnger-ttps, pushing the hair up from the roots. You will be surprised to find how much more beautiful and how much more manageable your hair is after a month of the "hundred strokes" at night. Each separate hair stands up with a life and a luster unknown to unbrushed tresses that cling dankly to each other.

hair. The faintest suggestion of violet and orris should be used, for the perfume must not be heavy or overpowering or all the fascination will be lost. Sprinkle the violet and orris powder over the hair before the "hundred strokes" which will brush out all traces of the powder, leaving only the Impalpable' fragrance. The close-to-the-head coiffure of the moment demands softly waved hair and if the locks are not naturally wavy It will be well to have them marcelled once a fortnight. The marcel wave when well done, lasts about two weeks in cool weather when there is no humidity and the head does not perspire. For a night or two after the wave has been made sleep with a mash veil tied over thai head so that the marcel may not be crushed out against, the pillow. Both coiffures pictured show the fashionable close arrangement which reveals the contour of tha head and is not at all puffed out at the sides, though the hair. In both cases, covers the ear almost entirely. In both cases also, the

wavy locks are swept across the forehead In a soft pompadour effect and a little artificial "fringe" attached with invisible hairpins, shades the forehead. In the undecorated coiffure, the waved hair Is drawn down and back to the nape of the neck and pinned: then the ends are twisted and brought up to the crown where they are spread out to cover a small cushion of artificial hair which builds up the

coiffure at the back. Tou will note that the enda of the hair, usually coiled out of sight, have been made to do their part In this charming coiffure, the only artificial aid being the small cushion on the crown of the head. The other hairdressing haa a flat, colled knot below the crown at the back and over this Is clasped the band of paillette embroidered gold tiaeue from which springs a double aigrette of split ostrich.

Clothes, soiled and clean are spread over chairs and bed, to be sorted later, books are piled on the floor; countless trips are made to dresser, wardrobe and bath room with small belongings, and chaos reigns in the room for hours. A trunk may be emptied and hurried off to the storeroom and Its contents tidily disposed of,, all within half an hour If one
