BEAUTY DEPENDENT
upon THE COIFFURE
Defects Can Be Hidden by
Proper Hair Ar
Tangement.

A woman with a broad face should do
her utmost to conceal it by the arrange
ment of her hair. One should take par
ticular pains not to adopt a narrow
dressing, as this only accentuates the
defect. A round pompadour is be.onl-
ing to the broad face. and II the hair IS
slightly parted It will soften the lines.
A small toque should never be worn,
and a large picture hat should also be
avoided.
The long oval face should never carry
a perfectly round hat. not e hat fat on
the top, nor ore with a stiff, regular
brim. The trimming should not be much
higher on one side of the hat than the
other, but should be about the same.
The hair should be arranged in soft
curls and waves, and never low on the
neck.
There are a great many women whose
features defy the Grecian mode. and
who have the sense to cling to the
more becoming pompadour. New. the
first thing to remember when arranging
your hair is that you must have plenty
Of hairpins. It is not necessary that
they be expensive shell and ambea. A
half dozen imitation she'll Of a very dur
able quality can be had for Is cents, and
a package Of assorted wire ones for 5
cents. Indeed, It Is really preferable,
no matter how much money one has to
spend, TO use the wire pins for really
holding the hair in place.
One needs a good handful, as a rule,
Of the average sized. wire pins, three
or four Of the very long ones to hold
the structure Of the bob in place Sc
curely. Then, of course, there must be
a supply of invisible pins, both long
and short. for the finishing touches.
For the Pompadour.
For the pompadour you will, of course,
part the hair across the head just hIcl<
Of the ears, then divide the front into
three equal portions. the two sides and
the middle. II the hair Is TO be MARCEL
led coil and pin two OF the portions
thus divided while you curl the third.
It is best to use irons that are not very
hot and to hold them In place for q
long time. This makes a more parma
nent wave than If really hot irons were
used, at the same time that 1t insures
the hair against burning.
1t IS best. also, to curl She hair all
over the front Of the head rather than
just the strands bordering On the face,
for the curliness viii take The place Of
rafting.
When the curling Is completed, unpin
the middle section Of the pompadour
and brush back until the effect is right,
then fasten 1t in place just little be-
low the crown Now bring up the sides,
first one and then the other, and fas-
ten them securely at the same point
For this the medium-sized wire pins are
the best This will make a soft and
rather low pompadour, the only sort
that win 1T under the present day hats.
The Back Hair.
When it comes to the back hair, the
strands left from the pompadour are
first twisted separately so as to form a
foundation for the knot. If, however.
these ends are too short TO do this with,
they should be tucked in undar the
Donpadour-pinned in with invisible
pins. too-for IL they are twisted with
the coil Of the back hair they win be
pulled out of place and so spoil the
front.
divided into two strands horizontally,
the upper one IS tied close to the head
with a piece of round hat rubber, after
which Il is brushed and made into a
IenRthUfse puff This puff Is quite a
work of art, for it is not twisted in the
ordinary way, as one would naturally
suppose, but rolled from the end upward
Dolly Warden puffs. This Is a difficult
feat for the beginne.. but IL can be
managed with patience and good mir
ror The puff is rolled upward over the
fingers or over q smooth, round stick
and pinned in place with the long wire
pins mentioned above, together with q
generous supply of the smaller pins.
The lower portion of the back hair IS
finally divided into two strands, twisted
and wrapped around the knot
