say Dress the hair to suit me, design
new coiffures with special reference to
the vagaries of my lines and trimming
or your fair patrons will be in despair"
Thus 1t appears that there has
started a revolution in hair dressing
styles. When the winter toque was dis
carded and women rushed to buy the
latest thing in spring hats they were
dismayed to find that all were built
upon radically different lines. To make
them becoming the hair had to be pulled
out little here ffuffed a bit there. and
In some cases an entire new fashion
had to be adopted. In a word, tresses
had to be reorganlzed and those who
could remember the days before the
universally popular marcel made its ap-
pearance were reminded of the trials
when the suave milliner would say:
You must do your hair higher with
this hat" or This one needs a low
coiffure." Those were the days when
one had to readjust ones coiffure to
each hat Things have been different
of late: that is, until the latest spring
and summer millinery CONNECTIONS made
their appearance fresh from Paris.
Now fashion history must chronicle an
other epoch.
The trim, undulated and marcelled
head has been with us so long that the
world has grown accustomed to its
comb laden waves, Its we'll drawn up
back hair, its soft pompadour and the
invisible, or at least inconspicuous, knot
buried on top. Everybody has looked
upon it as a distinctly Partisan and
New York fashion, which owed its con-
struction to the doft fingered hair
dresser. Only an expert could produce
the correct contour and effect. Each
woman emerged from the hands of her
professional coiffeur looking exactly
like every other woman who had had
her hair "done''-with possibly two ex-
ceptions-the color of the hair and the
ornaments on her full set of combs.
Demands Upon Halrdressers
The professional hairdresser is called
much the same manner as before, only
there are these differences: When he
has finished the hair is not pulled up SO
tightly in the back; it is allowed to puff
out here and the pompadour is fluffier
and larger, at least it appears so by
comparison with some of the tiny new
hats shaped like pill boxes. Those who
need the extra fulness may add false
pieces. These constitute the chief con-
cessions to the brand new millinery
modes. The changes were imperative
because with the old style of hair
dressing women wouldn't look as chic
as the fashion pictures made them in
the best French magazines.
There are three new types Of hats for
which special hair arrangement must
be made in order to secure the best re-
suits. First let us consider the polo
hat, with it's chic and perfectly round
brimless crown set just a triae to one
side, with the trimming placed over the
left ear. AS these odd shapes measure
scarcely more than the length of the
hand in diameter the coiffure is much
in evidence, and, of course, a becoming
and suitable foundation is required.
Otherwise they would look ridiculous
French women have adopted extreme
measures to render the polo hat be-
coming, and above all to make it look
as though it belongs where it is worm
Which means, In a word, that the
aureole pompadour is having an inning
The woman who is old fashioned
enough to draw her hair back closely
to her head and let the front fall in
natural individual lines must give the
iaunty polo hat wide berth. She may
have found the winter toque a posi-
bility, but she has only to set one of
these hats on her unconventional hair
to see how inconsiderate the arbiters of
fashion are of any but the women who
dress alike, wear their hair alike and
really appear to be duplicates of one
another.
With the fluffy pompadour as the
keynote of the scheme to make the polo
hat becoming-though it must be re-
membered that the hair should not look
frowsy, as if one had really been play
ing the game-one may go about secur-
ing this fluffy arrangement in any rea-
sonable way. Here is an excellent hint
taken from those clever Parisians who
are always equal to sartorial occasion
or eccentricity. If the prettily waved
hair does not stand out softly and
fluffy of its own accord a few invisible
hairpins used to fasten the locks to the
hat will accomplish the deed in a Won
derful way The desired effect is 20
have the pill box of a hat look as
though it We're surrounded by these
waving tresses with its base half hid
den under their masses. The back of
the hair need not be very loose, neither
should 1t be pulled up tight.

to a suitable dressing of the hair is
