Now Puff and Pompadour

The coiffure of the up-tC-date woman is
ever changing. She must vary it to suit
the fashion of her gown, declares Fifth
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 harmonic with the glaring skirts and
bouffant sleeves coiffure has been de-
signed which only beautiful women
should wear. The hair is waved, parted
in the middle and then arranged in two
cover the ears and are held in place by
little puff combs like those our grand
mothers 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 anotner 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 ana drawn severely down over the
ears, showing the waves much pulled

coil at the middle of the back of the head.

adopted by the summer girl she will be a
most uncomfortable person.
it is rumored that the severe little part
must go. Simplicity and occurrences ale
out of fashion, and the coquettish 'Clssy
Fitzgerald bang" is coming in. This

one little curl falls on the middle of the
forehead and another OH each of the
temples. Almost every type of face is
improved by u curly bang. 1t softens
the lines of the face and adds much to
thet effect of hats and bonnets. Monta-
CUES which are Il part of many of the new
coiffures. are really forerunners OF the
broad fluffy bang. At present it 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
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 q quantity Of hair is worn that
headaches are inevitable. The English
bun is new colffure. which requires
much hair. 1t consists of three puffs ar-
ranged crosswise at The back of the head.

bow stand up some distance from the head
and have large Spanish comb for Y
background. The bow. knot arranged for N
low coiffure shows the two loops pinned
close to the head just above the center in
the back. The ends of the bow are coiIed
together, terminating at the neck in two
ringlets. This is an extremely novel ana
very popular arrangement. 81

every where. Clusters of them are caught AZ

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
careessness. But the initiated are not
deceived by this simplicity. They realize
that it requires Il course Of training and
more patience than the average woman
possesses to arrange the fashionabl
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. u
