NO. PUFF AND POMPADOuR
OId-Time CoIfrures Which Are to BE Worn
This Seilson.

The couture of the up-to-date woman
is ever changing. She must vary it to
suit the fashion of her gown, declares
a Fifth avenue hair-dresser who for
years has been allowed the proud
privilege of curling and putting the
locks of the danes and maids of tie
four hundred.
There will be many striking changes
in the coiffures of the coming season.
To harmonic with the fiaring skirts
and bouffant sleeves, a couture has
been designed which only beautiful
women should wear. The hair is
waved, parted in the middle and then
arranged an two fluffy puffS at each
side. These wholly cover the ears and
are held in place by little puff combs
like those our gra ndmothers wore.
The puffs produce very broad effect
but they are as trying as they are
fashionable.
Maidens with plump cheeks and
round faces are shown another new
couture which also conceals the ears.
With this style wide. undulating waves
take the place of puffs- The hair is
parted in the middle and drawn Sc
verely down over the ears, showing the
waves much pulled out. The hair is
then twisted in a soft coil at the mid
die of the back of the head, where all
fashionable coils are now supposed to
be. If both of these new coiffures are
adopted by the summer girl she will
be most uncomfortable young person.
1t is rumored that the severe little
part must go. Simplicity and demure-
ness are out of fashion, and the cOquet-
fish ''Cissy Fitzgerald bang" is coming
in. This consists of three little curls
which bob on the forehead, yet make no
pretense of hiding it from view. The
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 face
and adds much to the effect of hats and
bonnets. Montagues, which are a part
of many of the new coiffures, are real
ly forerunners Of The broad fluffy bang.
At present it ia q 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 following 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 hair is the vogue.
Titan red is permissible, but glossy
black is most in favor. Such a
quantity of hair IS worn that head
aches are inevitable. The English
bun is a new couture, which re-
quires much hair. 1t consists
of three puffs arranged cross
wise at the back of the
head The bow-knot is another
popular couture, which is heavy,
tn ough fashionable. 1t may be worn
when the hair is dressed high or low.
When high the loops of the box stand
up some distance from the head and
have large Spanish comb for back
ground The bow-knot arranged for a
low couture 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 in two ringlets. This is an
extremely novel and very popular ar
rangement.
The Psyche knot is no more. Long
effects are the vogue, and ringlets are
everywhere. Clusters of them are
caught at the back of the head, and
they bob behind the ears and over the
forehead All hair is waved, and the
wave is noticeably large and undulat-
ing. The general effect of the newest
couture is one of studied carelessness.
But the initiated are not deceived by
this seeming simplicity. They realize
that it requires a course of training
and more patience than the average
woman possesses to arrange the fash
ionable couture of to-day.
Combs, pins and hair ornaments of
all descriptions are worn. As many as
twelve hairpins and combs have been
seen in the newest cOiffures.-N. Y,
