and no side locks everywhere.
"A woman who sets the style for lit
erary women, novelists and geniuses of
all sorts is Amelie Rives, now Russian
princess. That woman has driven me
crazy three distinct times. She came to
me three days in succession to get her
hair dressed in the style of a Russian
literateur. She wanted it pompadOur, and
she wanted 1t in a Psyche, and she was
determined to have II wild. ] lay awake
till morning and dreamed it out in one
minute after she arrived at daylight to
get 1t done.
Il took all her front hair and carried
it back over a tremendous pompadour
Then 1 tied it all in the middle OF the
back of her head. With sharp scissors

Wild funny, wavy front. They were long
enough to hang completely over her face,
but, being naturally curly, they did no
harm. A picturesque brushing back with
the left hand settled them.
THE back l tied and retied, making
big loose loops, and scarcely a hairpin
did l put in the whole thing. Instead of
cords / used small elastics, swapping
them around the loops and strands When
done 1t was statuesque enough for that
Russian portrait she wanted painted for
her husbands family.
The natural style is hard, however

maid brought her to me to have a COM
plete pompadour made. A complete POM

very talented woman, Lady Beresford,
who changes her hair-dressing daily to
make her face look ever fresh and new
Her ladyship showed me how TO place
the rolls to make a complete halo around
the face, and l did 1t exactly as she di-
rected, and with marvellous results The
back hair must be snuggled round in a
small roll under the back of the pompa-
dour, or the head will not have the round
ness you hope for. 1 dressed Miss Van

For sad, sweet faces there is only one
hair-dressing allowable this year This
is the parted and braided style. The hair
is separated in the middle, and is brought
down on each side of the face. Here there

puff over the ears. The top of the head
is brushed with perseverance until every
hair is glossy, and then the hair is braid

up under in very girlish fashion, with
nothing to ornament it, This is what we
call the widows type, and / can say it is

There is one little lady Of society whose
hair is the envy of her friends. 1t is hair
