BANGS TO THE FORE.
THE POAfPADOUn AND MADONNA
COfrFURES ARE LOSING FAVOR.
HEART SHAPED CURLS.
This style of Bang Should he Very
Appropriate When Worn by the
Summer Girl OF '08.

NEW YORK, May 2c.-Some women will
rejoice and others will regret to learn that
the bang has come into vogue again. The
Ma ionna part, the ascending pofnpadour
and all other styles must give way to It.
This new bang bears but little resem-
blance to the bang worn a few years ago.
Instead Of forming a bushy fringe, almost
entirely covering the forehead. 1t leaves
much Of the forehead bare and is just an
effective grouping Of careiessly curled
locks. That the curls simulate the shape
Of I. heart adds only to Its piquancy. To
cave the trouble OF arranging ones own
hair In this heart shaped fashion. and also
&c protect it from the daily curling process,
the Cupid bang may be bought ready made
for s..
There Is another new bang in town be-
sides the Cupid. 1t is called the Elsa. and
consists merely OF fluffy mass OF wavy
curls. 1t has somewhat OF a square effect,
with two little curls exactly alike resting
upon the forehead. AS to it's length. 1t Is
quite as short as the Cupid.
OF course there are some women with
Madonna-like faces who will still cling to
the classic part. But II they attempt to
keep pace with the fashions Of the day they
will soften the severe effect Of the part by
allowing q curl or two to stray over the
forehead.
That curls are in high favor at present
Early IN the winter tho Marie Antolnette
coiffure was first adopted by New York
women. 1t showed one little curl and then
two dangling from the coil at the back OF
the head This novelty was looked upon
with awe. Then the matinee girl and her
hobbins curls became a subject for dis
oussion. Now the newest coiffure. from the
back displays six or more curis.
These are round. fat we'll made curls
which have springy movement and bob to
perfection. Theee curls sell at a dollar
apiece. Then there are careless little
curls, not so perfectly formed. which shyly
nestle among the coils of hair. Besides
o. curls appearing in places where sou
would never expect to find them.
The curls chow to good advantage when
the hair Is twisted In a full figure eight
But they do net hesitate to dangle beneath
a pert Psyche knot or to Join themselves te
