A CHARMING COIFFURE UNDER THE VEIL
It is well to have a permanent, if the bride is contemplating one, at least two weeks in advance, A permanent is usually at its best after a few settings. Even க "kinky" wave which is the excep tion these days can be softened up considerably in that time.

By the same token, if a change of coiffure is contemplated, this too should be experimented with in advance. For one thing, the clever bride attempts to look her natural best on the day, For an other; it is well for her and her nearest friends and relatives to get accustomed to the new coif- fure. I want to emphasise, how- ever, that the change should not be a very radical one, and the coiffure should not be extreme or in any way bizarre as this is con- sidered poor taste.
SHORT OR LONG
The burning question this sea- son is: how long shall I wear my hair. With the upswept hair-do BO definitely in and the long, page-boy bob out of the picture the ideal length is the happy medium. Two and a half to three inches below the nape of the neck seems to be the right length. Then you can sweep it way up if you wish, or form large, round curls above the nape. Under a veil, the very short coiffure seems 'awkward.

What The Stars Foretell
By MARY BLAKE

It is most important that you keep in
a good humour this day. Happiness will prevail where there is an earnest effort to achieve it. News will travel quickly, so try to let only good reports and kindly comments be your contribution to it. Don't let jealousy sway your opinion, or envy arouse a feeling of discontent. Predicate any statement you make on actual facts, and not on rumors, for these will be the sources from which discordant con- ditions are most likely to arise, Married and engaged couples, and those whose hearts pulsate with the magic of true love, must resist any inclination to be tempermental, if the day is to remain unspoiled by an atmosphere of irritability.
