Now Puff and Pompadour

The coffure of the up-tc-date woman is
ever changing. She must vary it to suit
the fashion of her gown. declares a Filh
avenue hair-dresser who for years has
been allowed the proud privilege of curl
ing and putting the locks OF the danes
and maids of the -Four Hundred.
There will be many striking changes in
the coiffufes of the coming season. The
most important are here discussed and
illustrated
To harmonize with the glaring skirts and
bouffant sleeves, a coiffure has been de-
signed which only sbeautiful women
should wear. The hair is waved, parted
in the middle and then arranged in two
fluffy puffs at each side. These wholly
cover the ears and are held in place by
little puff combs like those our grand
mothers wore. The pulfs produce a very
broad effect, but they are as trying as
they are fashionable.
Maidens with plump cheeks and round
faces are shown another new coiffure
which also conceals the ears. With this
style wide. undulating waves take the
place OF puffs. The hair is parted in the
middle ana drawn severely down over the
ears, showing the waves much pulled
out. The HAIR is then twi sted in a soft
coil at the middle of the back of the head.
where all fashionable coils are now sup
posed to be. If both new coiffures are
adopted by the summer girl she will be
most uncomfortable person.
it is rumored that the severe little part
must so. Simplicity and occurrences ale
out of fashion, and the coquettish "Cissy
Fitzgerald bang" is coming in. THIS
consists of three little curls which bob on
the forehead yet make no pretense u
hiding il from view. Inc hair is parted.
one little curl falls on the middle OF the
forehead and another on each OF the
temples. Almost every type of face Is
improved by a curly bang. 1t softens
the lines OF tHe lace and ADDS much to
thet effect of hats and bonnets. Monta-
CUES. which are part of many OF the new
coiffures, are really forerunners Of the
broad fluffy bang. At present 1T is
mooted question as to whether the bang
or the part shall reign.
The pompadour has suddenly sprung
into favor. Partisan women have adopted
it. and now New York girls with low
foreheads are foil wing the fashion. The
hair is waved and drawn straight back
from the forehead The style is severe
but cool and sensible for summer days.
Blondes are out of fashion. Black nair
is the vogue. Titan red is permissible,
but glossy blue black is most in favor.
Such quantity Of hair is worn that
headaches are inevitable. The English
bun is new colffure. which requires
much hair. Ii consists of three puffs ar
ranged crosswise at The back of the head.
The bow-knot is another popular coiffure.
may be worn when the hair is dressed
high or low. When high the loops of the
bow stand up some distance from the head
and have large Spanish comb for u
background. The bow knot arranged for
low coiffure shows the two loops pinned
close to the head just above the center in
the back. The ends OF the bow are coiled
together, terminating at the neck i'll two
ringlets. This is an extremely novel and
very popular arrangement. n
The Psyche knot Is no more. Long
effects are the vogue and ringlets are
every where. Clusters of them are caught at
the back OF the head, and they bob be-.
hind the ears and over the forehead. All
hair is waved, and the wave is notlceably
large and uhdulating. The general effect
OF the newest coiffure is one OF studied
carelessness. But the initiated are not
deceived by this simplicity. They realize
that it requires II course OF training and
more patience than the average woman
possesses to arrange the fasnlonapl
coifiure of today. :,
Combs, pins and hair ornaments OF all
descriptions are worn. AS many as twelve
hairpins and combs have been seen in the
newest coiffures.
