VARIED STYLES OF CoIFFURE.
Spanish Combs and :.Aigrettes Arr
Much in Favor.N =,

OF Importance to the feminine
world is the cult Of the Couture az
taught by leading hairdressers. Not
only is the hair structure bigger then
ever, with it's curls, braids and padded
puffs, but Spanish combs and aigrettes
from six to eight inches in height
must set off the evening head.
Then with the high square topped
combs the lace mantil1a of the Castil"
ian beauty also threatens, coiffeurs
showing already the correct method OF
wearing them, and invariably getting
in a word of the new queen of Spain,
whose adoption of Spanish customs
has revived interest in these charm
ing trifles.
The best of the imported combs are
enchantingly lovely, filigree silver,
chased gold and plain shell forming
them. The very much ornamented
ones, those with binding paste gems
are spurious limitations, jewellers af-
trm, but these are shown, too, by the
coiffeur.
The arrangement of the mantilla,
which may be of white or black lace,
with the high comb is simple. One end
is dropped slightly over the top of the
comb, and the rest of the filmy fabric.

of the couture, the square top barely

Conservative people will choose
those only moderately high, and true
Spanish Influences are shown in the
square tops, which, whether high or
low, the majority of the newest combs
display.
AS to the methods by which the
mOdish couture of the moment is
achieved, they all tend to give the
head very enlarged appearance.
Frames made of wire the size of a
single hair, covered to suit the wear-
er's glory, and still further disguised
with covering of hair net, are en-
ployed to raise the front pompadour,
the side face puffs, and sometimes to
bank the final chignon.

at the front are arti6cially CLOSED to
dazzling brightness, and wherever
