Choose natural-coloured arti- ficial ones, waxy and greenish. and pin a long trail to the shoulder of a black or white evening gown, or wear them on a black afternoon frock.
An idea for skull caps. Put a row of flower heads just along the "front planting your cap well back on your head, of course). Use about six flower heads. Tightly curled waxed dahlia are good, or velvet pansies. Then you throw a small stand- out vell over the whole thing.
For evening, women are wearing flowers a lot again in their hair-but it's not everybody's tashion. But if it does suit you you're lucky, for you can thus be чету smart verv cheaply!

FASHIONS IN HAIRDRESSING
Styles To Suit All Types
There is no set fashion in hair- dressing to-day. There is instead a prevailing influence which is dominated by the personality of the
