From the New YORK Morning Jourual,l
During. the last month the fashions it
wearing the hair have undergone u variety
Of changes. For almost year what Is
termed the "GrcCian knot" has been almost
exclusively Worn. Now it has almost en-
tirely been done away with, and each day
sees the HAIR rising slowly bat surely to the
top of the head. BY Christmas We shall un'
doubtly ste the coil OF hair worn on the very
crown Of the head.
Although TO some it may be deemed AZ
undesirable freak of fashion to do away
with the Grecian knot, in reality it is very
desirable change, for to mlLy il is a most
unbec1miug method Of arranging the hair
Fashionable hairdrossers never braid the
hair now il is invariably colcd. There arc
very few women who understand the art OF
coiling the hair. Some twist it up very
tightly, brush ii vigorously and then coil ii
up; others caiclossly turn it round once OF
twice and then arrange 1t. Both of these
methods are bad. In the first place the hair
should be thoroughly brushed before coiiug
ii, aud never brushed aiterward. Very often
when brushed ailCrwutd and Coiled short
hairs will be found srckin5 out here and
there, giving the whole coil sometimes the
look of a switch. This can be avoided by
holding the hair firmly in one hand close Ia
the head, and quickly collin. it moderately
tight.
Fashion has also authorized several changes
in the method Of wearing the bang recently.
AS the Grccian knot asCcuds to the top Of
the head the poor bang, that has held such
sway for three years past, gradu ally rec.des.
Every day secs the bang growing shorter and
thinner, and the young ladies who last year
wore bangs extending from the centre OF the
.,Ft IN tl..tr
and the bridge of thor noses, now wear
bangs reaching but a third of tie way down
their foreheads. The bang is indeed doom
ed, but it is dying hard. Some " Dung ladies
who are great votaries Of fashion and who
have an intense love for the bang now wear
what they cal the "side bang" These side
bangs are properly worn right over The lem-
pie aud are arranged as "heau-catcheGs' the
other front heir being brushed straight back
from the forehead.
Though bangs are fast going ont Of fash.
ion, another melhpd Of doing the front
hair is becoming popular. This is what Is
called the "Pnncess Of Wales curl" Tne
hair is crimped tor this curl, not in papers,
or on climping pins, on slalc-penclls, hair
pms or ordinary pms, but upon the old.fAsh-
toned curling tOnss. Aud novel feature of
this method of curing the front hair Is, that
II is curled over instead OF under tie tOngS.
This gives a Pompadour effect to the heal.

and girls with pretty foreheads will be very
happy now that they have an opportunity of
displaying them
For women whogs heads are narrow
above the eals, the 'doublc coil' is very
becoming. II consists of two coils of hair
one on either side of the head. These coils
to be pretty should he loosely put up, and
should not be separated by II part as is
sometimes the cnse. The part gives too
precise geometrical look 10 the head, and
although ncltness should always eharac-
terizc the arrangement Of the halr Stiffness
is TO he avoided.
Very little false hair is worn nov. II is
not fashion to have Il great quantity Of hair,
and those WHO wear false hair either have
none or very, very little of their own have
very bad taste, or ave ont Of the plane OF fash
