false hair is used.
The big hats set well down on the head
which are among the most popular features
of the summer millinery demand bsuifant
style of hair dressing il the head beneath
the hat Is not to go entirely into eclipse
and the wide brims outstanding at the back.
which have replaced upon many Of the new
big hat shapes the broad dropping back
brims. must have some sort Of low chignon
effect to fill in the sharp angle twixt hat
bnm and head; but the big pompadour
resembling the upholstering Of a haircloth
sofa is not seen upon the chic woman. and
practically no pompadour in the accepted
meaning Of that word.
II the hair is drawn straight back above
the forehead it is but slightly rolled and the
bouf1ant effect is relegated to the sides,
where large soft roll is secured in one way
or another. The parted coiffure is with us
again. and women to whom hair dressed
low is becoming are congratulating them
selves, though soft arrangement Of coil
and puff at the crown Of the head. extending
low enough to fill in the hat angle. is worn
more generally than the really low ar
rangement.
The Psyche knot is revived, and in it's
latest forrn-soft, loose. large and lows
a graceful and beautiful thing where it
happens to be becoming. but few women
succeed in getting the desired result in this
coifure and the experiments are chiefly
lamentable failures.
One sees once more tightly coiled door
knob knots set at an awkward and un-
becoming angle, and the sight Is q most
distressing one; but occasionally a woman
with thick. fluffy hair parts her hair, rolls
the sides back over their own thickness
and poses thick, soft Psyche knot rather
low between the bouffant sides. sinking into
the fluffy mass on each side Of it and below
It instead OF standing out aggressively at
sharp angles. The effect is charming, but
as we have said 1t is rare.
This coiffure fills in the back Of the new
large hats admirably. as does any largo
soft coil or knot between rolled sides.
For the higher type Of hair dressing the
pronounced middle part is less often used.
and many modish women cling to modified
pompadour across fronts and sides, but the
hattening at the top is the fashionable
thing and Parisians show a liking for
fei' Hoe wv hcliiipS bHBntly at
one side. This may merely be a philo-
sophical acceptance Of the fact that It is
hard to roll hair loosely and softly back
above the forehead without either making
It too high with pompadour roll or al
lowing it to fall in careless waves when it
Is very likely to part naturally.
Hair drawn up very high on the head
and massed there behind big pompadour
Is distinctly out Of fashion. A sketch Of
almost any Partisan eleoante this season
SHOWS an exaggeratedly long line from
chignon to nose and from side to side, but
decided shortening OF the line from the top
OF the head to the throat.
Soft curls and puiss and braids are still
used to fill inawkward angles and give the
fashionable contour to the head, but the
hard round puffs posed with systematio
regularity and utter disregard of their
OBVIOUS falsity are not seen upon the head
OF the really modish woman, and the carl
eatures OF the puff and curl chignon which
efe seen In such profusion are an offence
against taste without the saving grace Of
being actually la mode
lhe woman who knows her own type
mas the good taste and discernment to
aiscover exactly the style Of coiffure most
becoming to that type, and having found
m'holds to 1t through the changing fashions,
