At last we have escaped from the
stiff, tight marcel wave which was SO
hideously ugly and inartist1c Moth
ing could be SO unnatural as this
symmetry which Fashion insisted upon
short time ago. Ones hair-dresser
was obliged to take a tape measure
and actually measure the distance be-
tween the fluctuations. Today we are
endeavoring to initiate nature-that
greatest of all artists-and in conse-
quence wearing a soft, undulated wave.
The old-fashioned marcel wave was
becoming to about one woman in a
thousand. Ones features had to be
clear cut and perfect to appear to ad-
vantage in this uncompromising frame.
Piquant features were anything but
lovely in this setting unless they were
wonderfully fine and delicate
The new wave, which the hair
dressers call the "scallop," is more nat
ural than any curl in vogue in years.
The hair Is not made so stiff and I'M
yielding as it used to be when so much
brilliantine was used to keep the hair
in place. and now, If a few fascinat-
ing wisps Of prettily curled hair strug-
gle out from the attractively piled up
mass Of milady's hair, she is not an
noyed.
Although the hair is not now oily
with brilliantine, still the dry, fluffy
hair which was so much seen a few
years ago is decidedly "out." Hair
must have a gloss and sheen to be
fashionable. This may be obtained by
brushing the hair carefully and thor
clined to be dry and dull looking, just
the tiniest bit Of brilliantine should
be applied to the tresses.
The hairdressers say that the best
results are obtained by pouring out
Just a couple of drops of the bril-
Hantine into the palm of the hand,
rubbing the palms together, and then
rubbing the bristles Of the brush over
them. In this way the hair is oiled
just enough to give it the proper gloss.
For the youthful face, with the spir-
ituelle yearnings, yet untainted, with
contact with this cynical world, there
is no more becoming couture than the
hair parted in the middle. slightly
waved, and softly drawn to the back,
where it is carelessly, but so artist
cally arranged in fascinating little
curls.
If the dainty debutante does not have
a sufficient amount Of hair to make
the proper number of curls, the hair
dresser cleverly inserts a comb from
which dangle ever so many soft fat
baby curls. The effect is wonderfully
pretty and becoming to most types of
young faces. This is a trying way in
which to dress the hair and only the
woman who has kept the soft round
