I should like to point out the fallacy of this belief. Very few ladies are incapable of improving themselves, even though they may look quite charming as they are. Therefore they should give new styles a chance. Every style has its modifications. Those who wish to look really nice and keep abreast with La Mode should study the newest thing, and instead of applying it en bloc to themselves - and looking extremely ugly inMaking the curls is the next movement. For the Nattelina style the curls must be made and placed with care, in order to be thoroughly in keeping with the style. They must not be too low nor too high on the head, but must stick out at about the centre of the head at the back. These curls are not loose and hanging, and must not look like a Grecian knot of curls. Each one is attached to the head, and though they should look light, must not be too small. If a pad is liked, to make them appear further raised from the head, it must be fixed before any curls are made. One of the small, light kind, with a hole in the centre, should be used, and the foundation tail must be pulled through the centre hole, and the pad pinned firmly to the head. The curls are easily arranged to cover the pad, and about six or eight good-sized ones are quite sufficient for this style of coiffure. Look at the curls with a handglass before fixing the swathe, and see they are in a good shape. (See Fig. 3.
