NEW STYLES FOR THE HAIR.
What Pretty Women Are Doing With
Their TresSeS.

Their TreSSeS
New YORK, Feb. pa leading Fifth
avenue hairdresser, who went to Paris two
months ago to obtain the latest styles of
dressing womens hair has just returned to
this country and upper tendon is all astir
because he has decided that the present style
must be changed. 1t has been fashionable
for more than three years to dress the hair
on top of the head. This style has not been
a faVorite way of hair dressing, because it
has been very difficult to dress it in a way
becoming to every face, but because it is
fashionable every one has had to wear their
hair this way. The styles of hair dressing
are originated in Paris. There every woman
goes to the barber to have her hair dressed.
The fashionable society woman, of course,
goes, but the snop girl and maids have time
allowed them 10 go and have their hair ar
ranged. 1t costs very httle-less than sc.
each time. The result is that very few
French women know how to arrange their
own hair In Paris there are 5000 artistes
who only study hair dressing. They study
at schools at which prizes are offered for
new and original styles. The reason the
hair has been dressed so long on top of the
head is because it is suitable to the faces of
French ladies, which are rounder than the
faces of ladies of any other nation. The
style has been fashionable so long because
no one of prominence has started any other
style. Fashions in France are set by the
Presidents wife and during the past few
years they have been elderly ladies and
have not appeared much i'll public Mime.
Carnot is young, handsome lady and has
caused quite a stir i'll society. She gives
number of receptions and dinner parties
and has already started a reform in the
style of hair dressing. The new style will
be dressed rather lower down the back of
the head. The front and sides viii be ar
ranged as they are now. This style viii be
adopted here after Lent
Very few American ladies know how to
dress their hair in a becoming manner.
They know what the style is, and they
adopt that style because it is fashionable
and they never think whether it suits them
or not. If they go to a hairdresser they
insist ON him doing just as they suggest and
will not allow him to use his own Judgment
and good taste. A hairdresser, like mo-
diSte or milliner can tell at glance what
style is the most becoming, and although it
may look strange to the person who is hay
ing her hair dressed she ought to know that
it is the best way. The faces of American
ladies are longer than those of French ladies
and it is consequently unbecOming to dress
their hair in the style popular in Paris. A
long face does not want to have the hair
arronged to look longer. Neither does q
short. round face want to be made to look
shorter by keeping the hair at the back or
side Of the head The Psyche knot is a
style that is common with every one. The
only drawback to this style-felt by society
ladies-is that shop girls and servants twist
their hair in this knot because it is very
easily arranged.
A lady with long face should dress her
hair on the back of the head. The hair on
the top should be arranged in waves and
bangs, should be brought straight over the
forehead and well over the temples, the idea
being to broaden the face as much as posi-
BILE If the neck is perfectly formed it
should be left bare, but if long OF thin il
should,be covered somewhat with small cuTls
or frizzes. A lady with round face should
The rope twist is a good style. The hair
should be arranged to come to point.
A pretty blonde, with clear-cut features,
rather low forehead, can dress her hair
tastefully in the pompadour style. On the
forehead curls are arranged. At the back
of the curls the hair is dressed as a roll.
Bangs now are worn V-shaped. That is,
they are worn either curly or straight and
can be well arranged to look very becoming
on any face. Any one with "a broad fore
head should wear as little hair on the tenn
Piles as possible and dress it high One with
a low forehead should keep the hair Off the
forehead in front and arrange a few curs
on the temples
A lady with a receding forehead should
have the hair we'll curled on the forehead.
The bad effect of high cheek bones can be
modified by arranging the hair in a cluster
of small curls on the temples,
