Tresses-The Latest Thing in Bangs.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Feb. PA leading Fifth-avenue
hair dresser, who went to Paris two months ago
to obtain the lates. styles of dressing women's
hair. has just returned TO this country, and up
per-tendom is all astir because he has decided
that the present style must be changed. Il has
been fashionable for more than three years to
dress the hair on top of the head. This style
has not been favorite way Of hair dressing be-
cause it has been very difficult to dress it in a
way becoming to every face. but because it is
fashionable every one had to wear their hair
this way. The styles of hair dressing are orig
mated in Paris. There every woman goes
to the barber to have her hair dressed. The
fashionable society woman, of course. goes. but
the shop girl and maids have time allowed them
to go and have their hair arranged. 1t costs very
httle-ess than cents each time. The result
is that very few French women know how to
arrange their 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 because it is suitable the faces of French
ladies, which are rounder than the faces of ladies
of any other nation. The style has been fash
ionable SO long because no one of prominence
has started any other style. Fashions in France
set by the Presidents wife, and during the
past few years they have been elderly ladies and
have not appeared much in public. Mime. Car
not is young, handsome lady, and has caused
quite stir in society. She gives number of
receptions and dinner parties and has already
started reform in the style of hair dressing
The style will be a moderation of the pres
ent style. The hair will be dressed rather lower
down the back of the head. The front and sides
will be arranged they now. This style
will 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 be-
cause it is fashionable, and they think
whether it suits them not. If they go to a
hair-dresser they insist upon him doing just
they suggest, and will not allow him to use his
own judgment and good taste. A air-dresser,
like modiste milliner, tell at a glance
what style is the most becoming, and although
it may look strange to the person who
is having her hair dressed, she ought to know
that il is the best way. The faces of American
ladies are longer than those of French
ladies, and it is consequently unbecomng to
dress their hair in the style popular in Paris.
A long face does not want to have the hair
ranged to look longer. Neither does a short,
round face want to be made to look shorter py
keeping the hair at the back or side of the head.
The Psyche knot is style that is common with
every 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 we'll
over the temples, the idea being to broaden the
face as much possible. IL tho mock is per-
fectly formed it should be left bare, but if long
or thin it should be covered somewhat with
smal curls or frizzes. lady with q round face
should arrange her hair the top of the head.
The rope twist is good style The hair should
be arranged to come to a point.
Aprstty blonde. with cearc features. rather
low forehead dress her hair tastefully in the
pompadour styls. On the forehead curls are ar
ranged. At the back of the curls the hair is
dressed a roll
Bangs now are worn V-shaped That is they
worn either curly straight, and can be
well arranged to look very becoming on any
face. Anyone with a broad forehead should
wear as little hair on the temple as possible and
dress it high One with low forehead should
keep the hair off the forehead in front and ar
rage few curls the temples.
A lady with recedine forehead should have
the hair well curled on the forehead. The bad
effect OF high cheek bones can be modified by
arranging the hair in cluster of small curls on
the temples. FOSTER COATES.
