C HE new spring toque, it seems, is
affecting the styles in day coif-
This little turban," writes n
Paris correspondent, ''is being
made close at the sides, and in the latest
coiffures a corresponding fiatness is
noticeable. The hair is drawn closer at
the sides, tighter at the back, and the
full dip at the front is not SO much in
evidence"
Quite as natural as life are the arti-
fetal pieces shown by modish hair
dressers. The transformations" as
these pieces are called, are made on a
light foundation of natural hair, and
in adjusting them to the head invisible
hairpins and combs in the same color
are often used. None but the expert in
matters of hair can detect the artifi-
ciality of the bewildering effects SO OBJ
tanned. The hairdresser keeps the false
piece in good order and different ar
rangements go by different fancy
names. The Marie Stuart" is a POM
padour ADVISED often for slight faces
with regular features. This has rather
a pointed front, and it is not too full
at the sides, and is dressed at the top
OF the head with a soft coil. The
Corona Is crown of plaits much
worn, and it is finished at the front
with a waved piece ending in q feath-
cry fringe. Indeed, a fringe" of more
or less lightness is much remarked in
the new coiffures for evening which
take to the most extraordinary loops
and bow knots. Even when the wear
ers own hair is employed, the coiffeur
succeeds with these tyings and loop
lhgs as easily as the milliner succeeds
with ribbon. Partings are made in
several directions, and the broad locks
are prepared to an almost metallic
smoothness by dressing of various
sorts; 1t is then slightly waved or left
straight the bow knot or mass of loops
being placed at the top of the head. At
the back the combed up hair is in broad
waves, held at the center of the head
with shell or metal combs or slides.
french styles in evening hairdress-
ing often show an outstanding aigrette
OF enormous height, with the hair way-
ed and in a soft French coil with
narrow fluffy dip over the forehead.
Loops of bullion or satin ribbon may
appear between the puffings and loops
of another coiffure, and still another
may have an elaborate ornamentation
of flowers, adjusted with an exagger-
ated careleSsneSs.
Co1ffures for quite young girls are
especially charming. A smallish pom
padour or parting at the front of the
mead, and a broad looped braid at the
back, is the arrangement most seen.
Around this braid is placed the even
ing decoration-tiny wreaths of deli
cate flowers or chaplets of satin ribbon
shaping half blown buds, and ending
perhaps in some graceful fall at one or
both sides. These ribbon and satin
blossoms are used much more for hair
ornaments than flowers of a conyen-
tional sort. though camellias with a
plnkish cast, dew dropped with rhine
stones, sometimes appear. Whenever
the shape Of head admits the jana
nese broadening, made by flowers
placed behind the ear, the arrangement
Is a charming one for pretty face
Concluding this very important sub
1ect, the evening coiffure which is not
elaborate and becoming will give a
look of neglect to the finest toilet In
truth to great degree it overshadows
the evening gowns, some of which are
or the simplest character. But. as has
been shown, profuSion of hair on the
mead is not necessary, for the effect of
luXuriant locks is more easily obtain
able through the medium of the false
pieces. These it is no longer a disgrace
TO wear, and, as in the old days of wigs
and toupees, a fashionable elegante
may at any time take off her "piece" to
show it to friend
The prices charged for the transfor-
nation vary according to color of hair.
