HAIRDRESSING.

The present elaborate modes of
dressing the hair and the high plumes
and jeweled combs worn so extensively
recall the fantastic headdresses of the
middle ages and the later centuries,
notably the eighteenth in France. An
examination of some of the costumes
shown in the books and the illustra-
lions of the famous women of the time
of Marie Antoinette show a distinct
tendency on the part of modern hair
dressing to initiate in a modified de-
gree these extraordinary decorations.
The use of false hair in puffs and
braids is no longer considered extraor-
binary or extreme, but has become al
most a necessity of the modern wom-
ans couture. Rows upon rows of
puffs and braids piled one upon anoth-
er or e~ncircling the head of the wearer
produce an effect which, if pleasing in
its regularity and smoothness of out
line, suggests anything but a natural
arrangement.
