She appeared in court with an old
Dutch headgear that would have de¬
lighted Hie heart of the painter Van
Dyk. On the sides of her coiffeur
were two tlain gold [dates bound tight¬
ly to her head which kept her hair
pressed close above her ears. The
plates are slightly concave, of tie
finest old burnished gold and fitted
the contour of her head. Over he
gold plates was an old Frieseland lace
bonnet, ivory colored from age. a
treasure of her maiden days. The lit¬
tle frilled lace visor in front of (fie
Ixmiiet was a marvel of tlie lace mak¬
er's art, and a G-ineh frill mmjc of
some stiffened material like maiincs

over her shoulders like a ruffle of Sir

her to change t’no way she does her

in the profile. A thin face can be made

made to seem larger if the knot of the
hair comes opposite it.
By studying various arrangements,
using the hand mirror and dresser

find for yourself tlie best way of fix¬

a perfect face can stand the severe
style, while a fat face needs tlie hair
soft around tlie edges and fluffed only
