Here is a Letter frem Miss Leroy, with a holiday-making fr.end in new tryranny in Hai/dressing. VIENNA, October 3rd. Aty Dear Ruth, —1 am afraid my letter to you this month is not going to bloom.with originality. it’s such a struggle these times to find new wrinkles in old bon mots, for there’s simply nothing new under the sun, is there ? What a struggle, of words there’s been over our hair and skirts, a positive baiirle between the Shorts and the Longs—like those noises one hears when, niarconigrams fly into the headphones. Which brings me to what f mean : Guy and I. went to a, the dansanb yesterday, and half way through the programme Grade Aluirhead came in. She’d returned only that morning from six weeks in the Tyrol, and while talking to her I couldn’t help thinking that with longer skirts and tip-tilted hats, courturieres and milliners are in league with the hairdressers to make us lengthen our hair —if-only a little. The newest style, shoulder length, certainly is feminine so what would you? Gracie certainly lias chic, as well as generosity with ideas, which cost her some guineas at Salons. I had the thought that even with (to many) the difficulty of wearing tile new tip-tilted hats, slip had not “lost any of her customary chic—and then I remarked the charming way in which her hair was dressed. Graeie, as I have said, is not one of those people who never impart their toilet secrets, so I am able to tell you just how this delightful effect is accomplished with the new idea in one’s locks. Shoulder length is suitable to both young girls and older women, whether one parts it on the right, left, or centre. Once the parting is straightened, comb the hair down at the sides then divide the hair in half at the back, regardless of where the parting falls in the front. After yoiVve arranged the hair at the sides and pulled it neatly back, use a hair clip to bold the hair in the position you want it. AVlien both sides have been arranged and secured, comb out ,tlie two back portions ‘sd that they will be smooth when finally pinned into that quite clear? Then you take oftte half of the back hair in each hand, twist it loosely once or twice, cross the left side to the right, and the right to the left.

Pull the hair in the right hand taut for a moment and release the hair held in the left hand, so that another pin may be inserted where the two strands cross. Sometimes it is necessary to EftKe-.awe ral _pi ms here, jiut they may be removed when the ends of the hair are fixed. •

Try it, m’dear. T suppose we do fiequenbly how the knee to the Fashion tyrants, but they do bring change to their suffering subjects, don’t they? Cheerily
