The Science of hairdressins.

The most important factor in woman's
appearance is perhaps her hair. Accord
ing to the way in which the hair is
dressed, the wearer can be made 10 look
five years older or younger. In Italy
women follow the profession af hair
dressing. and every young girl rich or
poor, has her ''pettinatrice" who comes
every morning to do her hair. The same
system Is In force in France, where the
figaro" however. belongs to the mascu-
line gender
1t is a pretty sight to see the French
work girls trotting off to their shops in
the morning with their daintily coiled
hair They discard all headgear but their
own shining locks. Here unfortunately
we have less individuality in taste. A
style is started. We all follow II blindly,
without due consideration as to whether
it is our particular style or not. Yet
what food for reflection is here,
Reflect for instance, how few women
have very pretty napes to their necks
Tall girls look like CRATES crowned
with an edifice where a fiat surface
would be desirable. Now that we are
going to wear the hair low we shall find
all the small women trying to make
themselves look smaller by the adop-
ton of mode that is only for the
"divinely tall daughters of the gods!'
A return to the waved bandeaux and
cascade of curls at the back is imminent
in Paris, and already hairdressers' shops
show blocks the counterpart Of what fair
Eugenies was like in the days of the
third empire.
For a moderately tell and graceful
woman with regular features it is i'm
possible to devise a style more attractive
but we must dress up to IT. Oelr bodices
must sweep in bold lines and reveal a
generous display of shoulders. Pointed
corsages with berthas of lace and ample
fouhced skirts will follow suit. For the
street we shall see a revival of the tight
fitting spencer" and hats with long
! sweeping plumes of the amazon typo will
come into fashion once more.
Meanwhile what is the petite woman
TO wear? She wants to make her neck
look long. her person tall. Deity she
sweeps her waved hair straight from the
nape of the neck. makes IL into two or
three twists, and rapidly curves 1t into a
jug handle coil on the summit of her
head SO that il will show well from the
front view, and twists the remaining coil
or coils round and round the edhce.
