YOUR OWN INSTINCTS.

THE BETTER GUIDE. The hairdresser will tell you, “You need a high forehead for a fringe, mad am e 1” And you, who think a fringe would suit you, though your forehead is low, go away feeling she must be right. Not necessarily so. Fringes suit people with round, piquant faces best, and they are generally the folk without high foreheads. But if you are one of this ilk, then tlo be careful your fringe isn’t “overwhelming.** Keep it short and light. But follow your own instincts; don’t wait for a high forehead. •* * * Of course, one doesn't wear jewellery with country clothes. No! But a small necklace of very tiny pearls or small, scarcely noticeable, ear-rings (if you are the type to wear them) will not look amiss. * * * We are told that it is the folk with plenty of self-conlidence, who tell the world what they can do, who get on But that isn’t always so. To produce good work quietly, rather than talk about things that don’t come off, is much oftener the path to gold and glory. * * * The brunette is always told to have dark powders and rouges, but some find that they merely look dark and, I hesitate to say, rather dirty. You may, in this case, have a rather fairer, clearer, or creamier skin than most brunettes, and then the lighter shades of cosmetics will suit you better. * * * When it is taken for granted that two colours will “shriek” at one another, it by accident you find they look charming, then have the courage of your convictions and wear them. There are many broad general rules covering conduct, dress, and etceteras; but if it seems to you right sometimes and most fitting to have something that doesn't fit in with general conceptions, don’t hesitate—achieve individuality. Only, however, when you are quite, quite sure about the result.
