Prepare to pile your liair high on top of your head as a fitting acconiplishment to the revival of trailing gowns. The easy and almost universally beconiing fashion of a low, loóse figure 8 wil] be permitted for house wear and for those numberless undress occasions cherished by all wotnen who love comfort better than diuners and balls. But for full dress occasions, for dinners and receptions, for elbow sleeves and low necked waists, dignified mountains of high piled locks are to prevail. This mode of dressing the hair has its advantages. The woman who indulges in it raay raise her inches by at least one. It is the mode best fitted to carry buckles and aigrets, feathers and bows, flowers and pins. It will appeal to many of the fair sex, while there will still be many other3 who will cling to their own pet fashion though all the world oppose it. For those of the fair sex who choose to continue on the old lines, the pompadour mode is the one that will be most in vogue. It will be a favorite fashion because it is becoming to most faces. The hair may be drawn tight and straight with good effect frota young, fresh faces. For older ones a sof t, fluffy, loose effect will recommend itsolf. The style known as Victoria, bronght into fashion and held there by the queen, wiil be chiefly worn by old ladies, lts soft, curling front, drawn softly from a straight part on either side of the face, aud dressed neither too low lux yet too high, but jnst where the bonnet wil] rest best aud easiest, will appeal to most woruen who consider theniselves oíd enough tobecomfortabl.e i and comruonplace. The soft, single, coquettish curl, falling with apparently careless effect just over the right shoulder, is distinctly borrowed from Marie Antoinette's day. Oharmiug accorupaniments of this pretty fashion are the Mercury wiugs that finish the side combs and stand out as effeotive backgrounds on either side of the softly waving pompadour. Por the classic profile and low forehead the long liue of waving hair drooping low over the ears, just gathered in a loóse kuot, done how no one knows exactly, with a rose crushed in at the side and a few leaves followingthe line of the nock, will, it is to be hoped, in Bpite of fashion's dccree stiü prevail.- New York JoaruaJ.
