Hairdressing has changed so much lately. It is no longer fashionable to wear your hair parted on one side with corru» gated waves over the crown of your head and dozens of kittle round sausage curis at the back. The smartest women now wear their hair brushed absolutely smoothly over

the crowns of their heads, in most cases with out even a sub-

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 hur on one side you may. have one or even two flat curls rolled back from your forehead. The hair is cut short us 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 each side of the parting. Fringes that come down over the forehead are now worn curled.

NOME of London's smartest young married women have their hair brashed 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.

THE styles Angrave has sketched give you very good ex-

amples of the newest hair styles.

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 cars 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.

Hennl discuse, or kidney trouble, is a frequent cause of hivaldism. The acute state usually follows' a fever such as diptheria or scarlet. Sometimes there is a considerable amount of swelling or drupsy in the lhnbs; heart failure is not un- usual 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 failure.
