NEW YORK Nov. 25-Dress the hair high
by night and low by day Is the new rule to
comb by just now. a we'll vowed and
pompadoured head still commands admira-
tion, but there must be 90 exaggerated lift
ing OF hair back from the brow, and the
pompadour Is never worn With victorian
bonnet. 1t Is mode Of head decoration re-
served rather for occasions without bonnets,
for on the street women seem to prefer an
Arrangement low on the head. With the
poke bonnets all the hair Is parted neatly
from forehead to crown, drawn down over
the ear tip, and massed fiat at the back, well
down toward the nape and fastened with
large shell pins.
Sometimes a couple OF finger long ringlets

almost invariably the broad sweeps OF hair, to
either side of the part, are crisply waved by
the aid OF hot irons II nature caunot be re-
lied Upon. So placed, the hair not only
accepts, but supports a victorian bonnet. and
this arrangement is In picturesque accord
with the headgear itself. None the less,
however, are a quantity OF combs used with
every method of hair dressing, and one large
comb, having not more than three shell
teeth and topped by a long, slender crescent
OF bright imitation Jewels, Is now almost an
fnyariable ornament. This last can be so
adjusted as to add firmer foundation wheE
hat Is worn, or answer as a gittering deco
ratioo when the hat is removed

the very lovely ornaments sold in the shops
or fabricated by their own artistic fingers to
complete the light towering effect SO ardently
striven after. But as matter CT fact, On
oil evening occasions the heads are profusaly

fringe out on the forehead. Women who have
an abundance of hair loop it loftily and

Dlace in the center two or three very short
close, curled ostrich tips, sprlnging from a
knot Of bright velvet. The tips are usually
black or white. Besides these things the hair
dressers sell the commonplace long-pronged
1-irpins with stifily outstanding wired bows
OF coral red, burnt orange yellow or tur-
duolse blue satin ribbon, fastened onto them
as pretty bits OF color to wear about the
house.
FOR THE THEATER
At the theateTs 1t is noticeable that besides
the many shell olns and combs shining III

as big as belt buckles, all gracefully wrought
out OF mock stones upon gilt or silvered
