Paris is very pleased with her discovery that foreheads are smart. After years of going about with onr hat brims pulled down to our eyes, we are now told to push them back to show as much of the forehead as possible. And with coiffures it is the same, any waves there are must not curve toward the eyebrow until they reach the extreme side of the forehead, leaving it quite bare and exposed in front. “Gentleness and cheerfulness, these come before all morality; they are the perfect duties. ... If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say ‘give them up,’ for they may be all you have; buf conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.” From Robert Louis Stevenson.
