The Pompadour is the Basis of Most
Hairdressing There.

HairdressinG There.
The hairdresser, Leroy, was supposed
to be an all-powerful parsonage during
the days of the Third empire, although
the photographs of the court beauties OF
that time show an arrangement OF colt
fure that appears simple in the extreme.
No one hairdTesser in Paris today can
be said to be pre-eminent, but there are
dozen whose services are always IN de-
mand, for we have reached period OF
elaborateness in couture that has not
been seen before for many years. LlrsI
of all, the hair is curled instead OF
waved, for ''ondulation" is almost as
much out Of favor as are the ear.coyer-
ing bandeauX; and a good deal Oh raise
hair is used, not in the way OF switches,
for almost any head of hair, It CURED,
is sufficient for the twist, but IN the form
Of short corkscreW curls. These are from
to 6 inches long, and are pinned about
the face or behind the ears IN dozen
beWitching ways.
A hairdresser, while discussing his
methods, recently said he had avoided, it
possible putting any false hair directly
against the face, admitting that no mat
ter how fine and soft the hair was. or
how we'll it matched the live hair, it was
apt to have an unpleasant effect upon
the skin.
The simplest form of hairdresslng now,
and the one that generally forms the
foundation for the more elaborate even
ing coiffures, is the curly pompadour,
and this style is much prettierr, done
with irregular waved locks, escaping into
soft, irregular little curls, than it was
last year, when 'ondulation' appeared to
be arranged with an inch rule after the
most exact and artificial manner posi-
BILE. For an ordinary toilet the hair is
divided from ear to ear, the back nail
| being arranged in loose twist. What
remains is drawn softly from the face,
and the curly ends, if short enough, are
pinned over and about the knot. A cir
cular comb, with the teeth pushing for
| ward, makes the pompadour, and two
much shorter combs puff the hair out, not
| extravag antly, however, in the neck.
This same pompadour is retained for
the evening. and the short curls are ar
ranged among the loose locks. One odd
style has bunch of these little curls of
| irregular length standing up over the
| forehead, with some more arranged back
of the temples. Another has the whole
| pompadour made of short curls, turning
| away from the face. with the natural
hair cut to form a suggestion of an IT.
regular fringe about the face. In an
other couture we see a suggestion of the
Victorian period in the side ringlets-
very quaint and pretty they are-but the
pompadour is still there, for we rarely
see parted hair now on young women
| A parting is used, however, in dlgnl-
fed style of coiffure that requires long,
thick, even hair to accomplish.
The hair is simply parted and drawn
smoothly, if tightly, behind the ears
where it is arranged in two braids that
are wound, coronet fashion, about the
head. It is so long since we have seen
anything of this style that it seems q
distinct novelty.
Here is description of model that
has been designed for some smart day
time function on the Riviere. The ma

hips and is cut in one piece, something
after the manner of the umbrella skirts
! of some years ago. Trimming it are

about at the knees. Each hounce i;
