There are two difficult seasons of the year for the authorities In the hair-dressing salons, spring and autumn, when clients come. in depressed about falling hair curls that will not remain curls. hair that is faded and "wispy."-

The extent to which the hair reflects the mental and physical condition of its owner is often

not realised by women, who are tired after a long winter, They are astonished to find after a cou- ple of days' rest at the seaside, with no hat or just an invisible hair-net of the type that the lawn tennis stars use, how their hair revives and develops tints.

Women that shower of spring rain, is better for the hair after a winter in town than an expensive shampoo, and while wind may disarrange a permanent wave for a time, It will also blow away the dust that chokes the free growth of new hair.

Change of Treatment

Just as women go away for a holiday and change of: scene and occupation, so the hair should be given' a complete change of treatment. To replace me- chanical waying, one hair - spe- clalist has a fluid that cleanses the hair and develops the wave in the way that nature intended

the hair to wave. Absolutely straight hair is much less com- mon than many women suppose. The natural wave is determined by the various slanting positions of the hair roots within the scalp.

Brisk Brushing **

A daily sponging of the hair with this fuld, followed by a brisk brushing until it is perfect- ly dry will reveal how a woman's hair curls and waves. For the

few cases of really straight and stubborn hair there is another Auld that can be used to moisten the scalp before home waving and curling appliances are put into action.

Since holidays are brief it is possible to quicken up the re- cuperation of the hair by feeding It through the blood, and a course of pills that are intended as

hair food are advised for spring and autumn use,, especially when holidays have to be brief.

Prevent Greyness

Exercises of three movements (each to be done aix times either at night or in the morning), in massage of the scalp, will pre- vent greyness for many years, according to a hair specialist. The tips of the fingers are placed upon the forehead at the edges of the hair passed up with the kneading motion that moves the scalp up and down upon the skull beneath. This is continued up-- wards to the crown. From above. the ears and in the third move- ment from the nape of the neck, this kneading process is repeated up to the crown,

Kong Mermaids

When summer comes » round swimmers and sun bathers are always interested in the latest models in swimming suits. So here they are pictured, sold by Lane Crawfcids and Maizee's and as seen on Miami Beach, that birth-" place of the newest and most no- vel styles in bathing suits.

Fabrics that reach a new high water mark in swim suits this summer are pastel rubber, plaid taffeta, checked gingham and seersucker. knitted silk, striped and plain linen, lacy knit wool and fine jersey. Shorts and baby pants with halters, plain trunks with brassiere tops and the ubi- quitous one-piece suits with or without skirts are the best-selling designs.

HALO HAT CLIPS"

A new position for the fashion- able clips is to fix them on the edge of the halo hats. Lacquer ed strum in red and white is used for the collar and belt, and gives a cheerful touch to the blue dreta. which matches the hat,

The beret, too, takes an exotic turn formed from straws on elon- gated lines... According to the modiste responsible for the most favoured type being worn on in.. formal evening occasions at the moment in Paris, it should never be cast with a "flow" gown. The greatest percentage of elegance la derived from wearing the shape with one of tailored mood dating from the late nineties or modern 1935. This applies to another, shape, which smacks somewhat of the "Eugenie" model. Both are of gilatening black straw- luciole-with a black Ostrich "plume draping down one side

A pill-box revival is likewise afoot for approaching tailored day-wear and those who like wearing the shape. It is not so high, nor is it denuded of all trimming, since perky little bows of gros-grain surround a shorter cant fitting. They are being made of white pique with navy blue bows and black taffeta with black bows, and support short veils which show a tendency to be thrown back from the fore-

THE HAT RULES THE HAIR

.:

The hat rules the hair-except. of course, at evening. Have you ever tried patung your small fat hat upon your high curled head. coiffed for a party

No, but what do you do about your hair when you have hats like these two to wear on difer- ent days? A huge sallor tipped over one eye-a turban yankeà up to show your whole face and all you front hair.

The thing to do is to have some curls that will do a disappearing trick Of course fringes are the most adaptable bits of fluff, espe- cially if you wear your hair short- ish and curled-for then at any moment your forehead curls may be combed back and up to joi the rest. If you haven't a fringe, and want something that is act- ually rather newer than the Hep- burn cult, you will see that We are getting AWAY "alto- gether from the idea of hair straight across the forehead and down at the sides, so forget the downward movement of your comb and turn, it skywards.. 01- the-face hats, whether they are bonnets, turbans or turned back bris, however, call for more hair round the face-and this is where curls on or near the forehead come in useful. But have sculp- Turned curis rather than a fun. Fer sailors, no hair on the fore- head: so back with the curls and mass them as high as possible under the brim. With a forward-' riding hat, comb the hair away from the front and behind the ears.

Brides Use Lace In Many Ways

Lace can be old yet new, re- calling famous pictures from the past and suggesting new ones for the present. Wonderful patterns have been resuscitated, and in many textures. Heavy, and fine Italian designs, as well as Chan- tilly, needle-run, blond or the spotted-nets and the new stiffen- ed light, but small, crisp patterns -all are in request.

...

The tall bride will do well to take full advantage of the many varieties in point de Venise, as a border to the moulded magnifiċ- ence of ivory brocade or satin faconne,

No less lovely is the full skirt and short corsage with deep frills, and cape of lighter lace.

FRILLS AND INSERTIONS

It would seem certain that lace is the dominating note in the bri- dal retinue this sumer. Nothing ́ is more attractive for the maids who follow the bride at June weddings than the delicately tin- ted net with tiny frills and inser- tons of lace..

One recent bride wore a parti- cularly beautiful panel of old Ita- lian lace forming a petticoat on.. thick creamy satin. Over this came a sort of polonaise, with train of satin bordered with the same fabric plaited. A Medici collar of the lace and deep caval- ler cuffs completed a square-cut tabbed satin corsage. A true- lover's knot in rubles and dia- monds was the sole ornament. Clouds of tulle formed the very love veil.

..

Where there is a separate train from the shoulder a good way of utilising the family lace founces is to gather them up in a centre panel, leaving the fabric at each side, which is so often lined with silver.

There have always been exec- tive golden brides. but, as the case also with silver, there are

many tones in gold. Ice-blue and silver or parchment and a dead gold are a wonderful wedding choice for brides who can carry off such manificence. Lace can' add further beauty either in the bordering of the "vell and train, or assisting one of the latest rustling silken under-slips.-

The entirely lace bridal robe is another affair. Unless of very Bne fragile design it is apt to be heavy. Some of the newer light patterns in very pale shades make up very successfully.

Finest and palest pink net was chasen by a spring bride, who placed it over pale silver. tissue. The bodice seemed to be more of a cape that floated away with the vell. She was followed by six small children, similarly attired. They carried pink roses with all- ver streamers, and wore. silver shoes.

JUNE COLOURS Pink seems a favourite, colour this summer, even more só than the much-vaunted blue. There is, however, a very lovely shade in a powdered-blue taffeta shot-white, and a more shot-allver

I must not forget a rather novel fabric that will be worn by a June bride a thick faille with large spots of satin faconne. It will be made up in stiff silken style round, full, and "standing alone" on the ground. The gown w lace up the back, and the neck drapery is to be caught up in front. by sprays of white lies. Cuffs of the same flowers finish the long mitien-sleeves, and a diadem of lilies and orange blos som are to support along, tulle vell. Another and rather more romantic fabric is a creamy taf. feta embroidered In rosebuds! This is for an all-white bride, but with her the train and under- slip (that shows under the looped up drapery in front) is to be of fine Valenciennes lace.
