equally adapted to home, street or social
occasions, and may be worn with any
shape of hat or bonnet, and can be as
effectively arranged with an ordinary
switch, front piece and few pin curls,
as with fine head of hair.
Taking into consideration that many
ladies have had ruthlessly 'shingled I"
their abundant tresses, nine out of every
ten who have bent their heads to the
hair-dresser's shears have eagerly well
coined back a sufficient growth of hair
to enable them to assume their former
appearance by securing 1t to a switch.
With a knowledge of the numerous heads
of hair that have been sacrificed by this
senseleSs fashion, the creators of the new
styles have designed the very graceful
coitfure known as the Cleveland" with
the view of enabling every lady to be-
come her own hair-dresser, either arrang-
ing her hair, or as it will now have to
be in many cases, a switch. Much care
and no little thought have been bestowed
in creating this style; and, as it seems to
meet the demand for a coiffure that may
be quickly adjusted with pleasing effect
and adaptable alike to young, middle
aged or elderly ladies, it is recommended
in preference to other styles now in vogue.
To arrange the Cleveland" properly all
the hair should be raised up in a firm twist
on the crown Of the head; from this the
long hair, or as it may be, spitch, must
be divided into three strands; take one
strand and coil in the center, then twist
the other two into a loose rope twist, and
bring to the top of the head a few light
curis or crimps, either natural or false;
these are allowed to pass from beneath the
coil and touch, but not sweep, the neck,
while similar arrangement Of short curis
or rings are placed at the top of the coiff-
ure, which mingles with indescribable
grace with the bangs or front piece, the
latter being crimped or curled as the taste
OF the wearer may suggest. Ladies who
have small heads, or whose heads may be
long or narrow, will find the "Cleveland''
vast improvement on the deficient STYLES
of late years, while stout ladies, with full,
round faces, will, by shaping the coifure
SO as to give 1t long and narrow effect.
have acquired the knack of arranging
tasteful and most becoming head dress.
In fact, when one considers the interest
shown in all that pertains to dress, the
actual study given to designing rare and
every woman spends before her mirror, it
is singular that so little attention has been
given to halr-dressing, and what the pro-
fessional hair-dresser is pleased to term his
"art" has been allowed to almost become
thing of the past The revolution which
IS now in progress in this most important
adjunct to the feminine toilet has a
tendency soon to create sad havoc
in the minds Of our society la
dies. All the new and beautiful
coitfures are designed to fit the vacant
niche and tempt the ladies to arrange
their locks in a form agreeable to the eve
and more in keeping with the graceful cos
tunes of the day. One of the most pic
turesque styles now coming in is meeting
with popular favor for two reasons: One,
that its arrangement affects only the back
of the head and the profile, leaving the
hair at the edge of the forehead and tenn
Piles to the taste; happy adjustment, since
all faces will not bear the same treatment
Of front hair. And for another, that such
a style may prove the beginning of the
end-that is to say, coiffure of the name,
once accepted, taste for preserving and
dressing the hair will revive and a variety
Of graceful and becoming forms will be the
result.
The most popular style raises the hair
ON the crown of the head, when it is given
a firm twist, and the long hair falling back
is divided into three strands, one of which
is coiled in secure knot to form the cen
ter piece. The other two strands are wound
| in loose rope twist, or torsode, style of
twist much in vogue with the Empress
o,,I L. L..
bright reign over /" La Belle France" and
the fashionable world of the gay Capital
This twist is then brought round the
coil, with its crimpled or curled ends ar
ranged to touch the neck below the coiffilre
and mingle with the rings of the hair at
the point above.
Those who have lost their locks in the re-
cent absurd mania for short hair will, of
course, have to fall back on false switches,
pin curls and crimps.
There will also be many new styles
which will meet with great favor with
young society men. The most notable is
the return to the military regulation of
wearing a smooth face. This will no doubt
| be hailed with delight by those who have
been obliged to spend very valuable por-
ton of their existence in their efforts to
train young and unwilling mustache.
The parting of the hair in the middle
will still find favor with the more efiemin-
ate of society youngsters, although the
side part is recommended as the best style.
For middle-aged and elderly gentlemen
the trimming of the beard and mustache
a la Boulanger will be the only new style,
and is one that will be eagerly adopted.
For this style the beard must be clipped
close on the sides of the face and allowed
to remain long, while tapering to the end
of the chin. The pompon, which found
much favor few years ago, may be in
dulged in by those whose face does not
incline to fullness. For the pompon the
beard must be trimmed at least once a
week, and parted in the middle and
brushed outward toward the cheeks. This
improvement, which cannot be cultivated
except by diligent brushing and close at
tention, will not be assumed by the young
men lest they are 10th to be foppish. For
head adornment the hair will be kept
closely cut, and the circular appearance
which obtains such notice in England, will
be the prevailing style, although many
will still prefer the long angular lines
which are possible by shaving angular
lines, which are only possible by shaving
