Fair tresses mans imperial race ensnare,
And beauty draws ms with but single hair"
However. since the days when women
wore horned head-dresses, in token Of
their being descended from rank and
authority, to the present time, when
haisdressing merely aims at the art
which initiates chance, there has never
been q couture which has served for .
universal style Hair has ever refused
to typify any thing, and its fashion has
stood upon its privilege of being as
variable es--wcll, fashion
Derision, criticism and TRADE have at
last vanquished false hair almost en-
tirely, and at present it is necessary tc
have fine head rather than fine hair,
and coiffures must be coiffures Of dis
tinction instead OF dressy arrangements
devised by ordinary taste. There is
such a growing preference for antique
fashions that portraits of famous beau
ties Of century or two ago are con-
suited for many items of the toilet, one
of the most important being coiffures
Abroad historic styles are seen now and
then, and the Louis XVI, not averse to
ripples for light hair, is friend also to
puffs, with gems and feather tips for
full dress.
M. Virgile, the great Prussian hair
dresser, is reviving the style favored by
the Empress Josephine, copied from her
portraits between 1900 and 1910. The
idea was probably taken from the an
cient Greek models. The hair, drawn
small round chignon rather high on the
head, and from this appears the hair
frize and in front light fringe of small
curls. The capotes are made SO that
this chignon is outside. This is the
very latest style, and for dressy even
Ing wear small, wreath with bunch
of feathers or ribbon in front is enough,
for the object is to keep the general eff
feet of the head small and compact.
There are some of the leaders of
fashion who wear the hair plated low
down and the plait brought up to the
top of the head Another style much in
vogue is to have the hair waved or
ovduli. There is an iron especially for
the purpose and it takes about three
quarters Of an hour to do. Hard or
limp hair takes a much longer time tc
operate on successfully than soft, natur-
ally curly hair. With the latter style
of hair the undulation will last over
two weeks, while limp hair requires the
operation renewed more constantly
But this style only suits certain faces
and looks very ridiculous if not per-
fectly becoming.
There will perhaps be revival of the
Du Barry fashion, with its soft-cushion
roll placed well back from the front Of
the head, while the directoire style,
with its eccentric fancy of having the
forehead nearly covered, and the pic
turesque Lamballe, all waves and half
curled curls, are copied with certain
styles of costumes.
Toilets which are simply dressy and
do not include any historic features re-
quire merely snowy coiffures, which
owe their distinction to the art with
which they are adapted to the individual
ana the style OF dress which they ac-
company. Inc only imitation quoted
OF veritabie ancient couture is the

style must pc followed cautiously.
