that lie close against the forehead and the back of the neck. No matter where you wear your parting, your hair must be brushed away from your temples.

་

If you part your hair on one side you may have one or even two flat curls rolled back from your forehead. The hair is cut short as it would be for a fringe, only instead of brushed down it is brushed back into a roll or one or two curls.

The hair is brushed away from the temples, arranging the curls or the roll to leave the lower part of the car exposed.

Some women part their hair in the centre and arrange.one or two curls softly brushed on ench side of the parting. Fringes that come down over the forehead are now worn curled.

SOME

YOME of London's smartest young married women have their hair brushed completely flat like a skull cap, with the one roll of hair brushed high up off the forehead and continued all round the back of the head. This makes the face look very hard, but it is con- sidered smart.

Where soft, flat curls are worn at the back of the head they are usually arranged diagonally,

If no parting at all is used the hair can be brushed off the forehead and a row of little curls brushed from back to front which gives the effect of a tiara of hair.

If you have rather a flat back to your head which needs to be disguised with rather elaborate hairdressing, study the girl with her back to you. You will see that the hair is brushed diagonally across the crown of the head and arranged in large, flat curls across the back.

It would be equally fashionable to wear one row of these curls instead of two.

Some women prefer to have one or two curls over the ears and the hair brushed up into one coil only all across the back of the neck. This arrangement at the back can be worn with any of the other three styles shown,

NEPHRITIS

EADERS often write in asking me for advice on various affections of the kid- neys.

Renal disease, of kidney trouble, is a frequent cause of invalidism. The acute state usually follows a fever such as diptheria or scarlet. Sometimes there is a consfelerable. amount of swelling or dropsy in the limbs; heart failure is not un-

ustul at this time.

IF recovery is not complete

then chronic nephritis Is the next stage. The kidneys may have been inadequate from birth, or there may be some other reason for their sudden fallure,

Usually the victim's pale, white face and lifeless eyes are an index

of his illness.

After middle age chronic kidney trouble gets worse; the heart be- gins to fall and there is a danger of coma or unconsciousness,

DIET can be of great value

in the early stages. At the beginning all food is withheld for a period varying from 12 to 38 hours. Even children stand this starvation provided they are kept warm and given plenty of fluids,
