The pompadour is doomed. The edict
has gone forth, and while there are
some women who will bow to it with
regret, the majority of them will be
glad of it. The pompadour is not such
a fascinating thing, after all, and really
becoming to few of the faces of wo-
mankind it has been framing for the
past two years. 1t has been exaggerated
and caricatured, but no one seemed to
have the courage to abjure it except
a very, very few. Among these were
beautiful Maxine Elliott, who never
has deviated from her style Of parting
her hair and coiling it low at the
back of her head.
Now the hair is to be dressed low
again. It is to be waved, parted, and
loosely drawn back from the face to a
coil that may be worn as low as may
be desired. The shell combs that long
have been so popular are to be ban
ished, .and with them are to go the
bows and aigrettes that were used to
adOrn the evening coiffWe.
