THE COIFFURE OF THE HOUR. Kover has hairdressing been more, charming than now, especially when the chignon is not exaggerated. It is lightly saved and thick plait (be not too inquisitive, oh, reader, as to whether this be home grown or exotic!) en circles it pushing front hair well forward over the face, sometimes covering the ears as well. This all makes a frame for the face that is very becoming. And the enormous hat hides much of it. It is a stupid fashion. Nature implanted in us all, male and female, the instinct to try to look our best. Fashion saya: "Wear this enormous Hat. It will hide your niec forehead and almost every bit of your lovely hair, but you will be in the fashion, That's all that matters!" or
