ears. but is entirely on account of the
latest fashion in cnifures. Whether their
hair is dressed high or low, in a fluffy
bang or a severe p~ompadour, it is drawn
loosely over the ears. either in undulating
waves or small puffs. This fashion, par
ficularly in warm weather. is decidedly
uncomfortable, to say nothing OF the fact
that it has a tendency to make the fair
wearer a triae hard Of hearing. but as it
is the vogue it must be endured. To the
young person with a narrow. long face
this odd style of dressing the hair is apt
to be becoming. but woe to the round
face maiden who dares attempt it.
In addition to pompadour combs which
have been made for the purpose of hoid-
ing the hair over the ears in the proper
place, SO that the loose, puffed effect is
obtained, small cushions are also used
These cushions are covered with silk and
stuffed with hair and have a hairpin at
each end for fastening them in place AS
yet the American girl has not tried to
hide her dainty, pretty ears, blu that she
is sure to copy her English sisters before
long goes without saying. The eoiffures
shown in the illustration are the safest
English models. They promise to be all
the vogue in America this fall with fash
ionable women. In both designs the ears
are but little in evidence.
The couture, which is a mass of little
puffs, is called the Sappho- To attempt
it the services of a maid are a necessity.
In front the hair is parted in the middle,
and instead of being drawn down plainly
at each side in Madonna fashion, it is
arranged in puffs-tiny puffs, which rip
pie over both sides of the head from The
centre of the forehead to the nape of
the neck. The puffs in this couture en-
tirely v the ears. At the back the
hair is dressed in two coils. One, which
is long, is pinned closely to the head,
and another at the top of the head, which
stands very nearly erect. Through this
latter coil fancy pins are thrust. When
completed the Sappho c~oiffure is excep-
tionally effective. but it is entirely too
elaborate to be worn at any time other
thar full dress occasions.
New for the new p~ompadour. This
couture. also shown in the illustration,
combines the pompadour n the very
latest bang. It is radically different from
the pompadour which the American girls
are now wearing. Instead of the hair be-
drawn straight back from the fore
head. it is first waved an then brushed
back. The waves are so deep and undu-
Isting that they have almost the effect
Of small puffs. This wavy hair at the
sides is drawn over the ears in a loose
careless fashion. 1t is much puffed out,

A becoming feature Of this new pompa-
dour couture consists Of the curls which
rest on the forehead. They form a be-

the couture possible to the woman with

which is a pompadour and yet is soft and
rather than severe, fills a long

1t is a strange within of fashion which
