the hair-dresser pressed into service. Then
she usually let the woman do her hair in
the prevailing mode, regardless of suit
ability to the customers features. And the
result was hopeless. Now that same wo-
man very likely goes to some good estab-
lshment and has her hair regularly looked
after and treated. Colored just bit? Pos
sbly. One is apt to become prenaturey
gray. More hair is touched up now than
ever. but it Is done in such an artistic man
ner, and Is such an expensive luxury that it
really looks nothing whatever like the
homemade peroxided head. Titan Is still
the favored shade. although madam can
have her hair changed with her gown.
Puffs and the Curl.
Pufrs are coming back again with the
curl Call 1t Janice Meredith. or what you
will. 1t is very pretty when worn with an
evening gown by the right person. It's de-
velopment can be traced from the antique.
We are also coming back to the center
parting which has been "out" since the
revival of the pompadour. This low coil in
the back OF the head and on the neck is
being worn by many women as change
from the hair piled high on the head. The
fiat, low effect about the face has become a
necessity. Unless one is fortunate enough
to be cast in the classical mold, eschew the
modern Psyche. 1t Is becoming only to the
woman whose hair grows in curves around
the temples and low on the back Of the
d
Greek cast Of face 1t Is perfect. A pretty
arrangement for young girl who is loath
to part with the pompadour Is to roll the
front hair prettily from the face, the coils
at the back forming a catogan Although
1t is predicted that lot of false hair will
be used this year. l should advise strongly
against It's being worn unless absolutely
necessary.
Some of the hairdressing seen this season
is complicated that it is impossible TO
attempt anything of so elaborate a nature
without the assistance of maid, but if enc
Is clever in this line much can be accom-
plished by using some of the new devices now
shown In the hairdressng shops. One which
might be of benefit is a spring coil to hold
the back hair in place while the coil is twist
ed around the head The three-quarter pom
padour frame is of great assistance In
dressing the hair and giving it the desired
fuilneSs at the back.
Must Take Pains.
There IS no excuse for woman's hair
not looking well groomed If she has any
ambition to improve her appearance. At
the theater and opera ones colffure Is of
first Importance. The safest and best fash
ion Is that which suits ones own individual
style and when found. let styles come and
go, but always wear the hair In the same
way. There is personal note about this
that is always satisfactory. Most women
Of the stage consider too much hair a
bother; just enough to twist up and tuck
out of the way Is sufficient. Ellen Terry
wears her hair short and revels in the love
lest wigs, while Bernhard has only the
hank of hair Klpling has made historic.
The wearing of hairpins and jewels In
the hair is of ancient origin. Everything
leads us to suppose that they were worn
in biblical times. The gold pin which is
mentioned in Scripture we find later on In
Greece and Rome. 1t is pin Of this nature
that Flavia takes from her hair to pierce
the tongue of the dead Cicero as a revenge
for the sarcasms he launched against her.
