THE NEW WAY OF WEARING THE HAIR.
-Parisan ladies retain the high puffs and
braids on top of the head, with the back hair
unrelieved by plaits or tresses, but this style
is unbecoming to the slender faces of Ameri-
can women. hence the desire here toreturn
to lower coiffures. The new caprice for day
wear is to have a single narrow chatelaine
braid down the back Of the head, with two
or three soft pulfs on top and crown braid
in front. The back hair is still combed up
from the nape Of the neck, but its bare look
is taken oway by the chatelaine braid. Thick
ropes made of two tresses of hair twisted to-
gether are even newer than plaits for the
crown and chatelaine. The part above the
forehead is shown, and the front hair, in long
ripping waves, natural and careless looking,
is laid smoothly and low on the temples, in
stead of being drawn backward and covered
up With frizzles and fringe. Smooth hair IS
once more in fashion, though ladies destroy
the beauty of the new arrangement by pas
ing the waves fatty with pomade or panuu ,,
line. Side locks III front of the ear are Woin
turned toward the face instead OF paekwaru'
