If You Want to Be in Style Your
Pompadour Must Be Flat in Front.

When a few ultra smart girls began
wearing the hair In the middle of the
head, little below the crown, and the
pompadour fiat in front, even the hair
dressers would not credit the change
in fashion as a lasting one.
But evidently it is here to stay.
1t is not easy to make this new Golf
fure, because the puffs must be adjust,
ed just at a part of the head where thS
hands do not easily reach.
1t is also difficult to train the POM
padOur to stand out in a new way
Those who are blessed with low fore
heads and thick hair have everything
their own way. Their coiffures always
look well, no matter what the fashion
But the majority of women musj
manage TO have a stylish couture with
a handful of hair, a good deal of il
broken by rOughing it TO make it stand
out, and curling with too hot an iron
The woman is rare, indeed, who is not
compelled 10 wear false hair
In detail the new couture has lines
that run to the crown of the head just
above the nape of the neck. Even the
hair over the ears is not combed up-
ward, as it used to be, but back in the
way ii grows.
The hair is almost fat in the center
of the head. 1t is raised and rolled
over the ears in the way the French
call bandeaux. This raised line extends
around the back of the head as well as
sides, and above it, just below the
crown, rests one or three long, loose
puffs Not two, remember.
1t is much simpler to pin these on
than to make them, even if your haiI
is long enough. 1t is no simple matter
TO get your arms far enough back OF

feet smoothness. Therefore, even those
who have enough hair TO make puffs
f1atten it out and pin the ready-made
ones over that space.
At the nape Of the neck the hair is
caught firmly with a long barette. The
little one is of small use. One Of the
newest tricks is to use a barette comb
which does not clasp in the usual way
but is finished with shell teeth which
go up through the hair and keep every
struggling lock in place
Ii one can wear the hair parted, so
much the better; but few attempt it.
The hair is waved, either by irons, kids
or cloth. to run straight across the
forehead above the brows. Those who
do not like this straight line pull the
hair down to a slight point in the CEN
ter
The length of the head across the top
is much exaggerated. The waved hair
standing straight over the forehead in
stead Of up from it, and the puffs piled
out at the back, give a long line thai
has rarely been seen before on a wo-
mans head.
Strange TO say, even with as much
artificial hair as women use, the new
couture looks natural. This does not
refer to the hair dressing on hundreds
Of girls one sees on the streets with the
cheapest artificial hair unblushingly
pinned all over their own: it applies to
the coiffures of the well-dressed wo-
man who takes pains to make the hair
look natural
The set, high. stiff pompadour is
what makes a woman's head look arti-
fetal. There is no way of making it
look natural. and now that it is left
to the majority, because it has been
so abused, one turns with delight to
the coiffures of the minority, which
aim to be loose and graceful over the
forehead and eaers.
Since the day of the invisible net a
woman can afford to do up her hair in
some kind of loose grace. When the
net is put over it and we'll pinned into
place there are no stray locks, no loos-
ening Of the lines. The hair remains
just where it was originally put.
A veil does not accomplish this. It
