The Perpetual Pompadour.
The French hair dressers have had no
really successful ideas for the colffure since
they reintroduced the pompadour, which
bids fair to hold it's own safely through
couple more seasons. In Paris and in New
York recently women in the evening have
worn their lofty pompadours frosted
quite white in front with a rice
powder that is slightly perfumed
and a towering bow of black vel
vet ribbon perches high on the crown. This
is type of headdressng that shows off a
fresh rosy skin to the greatest advantage,
and women are almost ignoring their once
cherished jeweled combs.
Occasionally three combs, with be
diamonded edges and very short teeth, are
thrust in at the back of the pompadour
and shows glitterng line across the head,
but other than this very few new devices for
the use of combs have been introduced.

hair in the low Trelawney knot, which IL
