ENGLISH HAIR-DRESSING.
The Hideous Frizzed, Curfed Bang
Still Has Full Sway.

Lady Helen Stewart, a fashion leader
of England, has decreed that society
that is, the feminine element-must part
its hair on the side or expose the fore
head guiltless of coquettish curls, says
the Philadelphia Press.
And fashion-that is, in England-is
beginning to sway bit in her 1~ection.
While the American girl would look
with horror on this unfeminine coiffeur
for her adoption, yet she gives sigh Of
relief when she thinks that maybe Lady
Helen's example will take effect among
the world of Britains elect.
That frighful curled, friZZed bang that
the Princess of Wales insists upon re-
tanning has spoiled the faces of many
women who might otherwise have been
called pretty.
I shall never forget once seeing a fa-
NOUS English actress make her toilet
for a reception. She had invited me UP
to her room. She was combing her mass
of yellow hair down over her eyes and
/ thought it was only a trick of getting
her back hair out of tangles. Judge of
my surprise when she frizzed up this
mass with the comb as one does feath-
ers with a knife and let it hang in front.
On went the ever-present English
tooue over this heroic bang and I did
not wonder that the bellboys stared.
But She was only arranging her hair
as all of her set do. Therefore let every
lover of beauty hope that even the for
mality of Lady Helen's plain forehead
may make headway against the untidy,
unbecoming coiffeurs of the women of
the English nobility.
What a change the sleek, well-groom-
ed head of the American girl must be
to them
