@7HE smart hats of the season
cannot be successfully worn
unless the coiffure is built In
accordance with their demands.
And In the hairdressing styles
Of the moment one idea holds. and every
hat demands 1.-THE hair must be fiat in
front, wide at the sides and full at the
back. The correct arrangement adopted
by most modish women has the hair
brushed up smoothly from the nape of
the neck to the Psyche knot. which is
aggressive or moderate in size as the
wearer elects. But there is no bulging
out or sagging down. 1t is a clean Grecian
sweep. usually held in place by wide
curved barrette.
To bring about this much-to-be de-
sired effect at the back of the head
there is a new coiffure appliance. 1t IS
a dome-shaped frame and supports the
puffs, curls and braids; college girl slang
would call it the "wad.' This frame is
a simple contrivance with hole in the
center and Is pinned on securely at the
back of the head. Through this hole the
back hair Is threaded. and over 1t are
placed puffs. curls. coils. ETC. In mo-
ment of sartorial abstraction this frame
might be mistaken for fly trap, but the
summer girl will be more easily lured into
it than the willy household pest. This
cunning device Is the inspiration of Andre
Hugo, the creator OF Partisan coiffure
styles. and 1t is made of stiff but light
weight and porous cloth. These frames
come in all tones. harmonizing with the
natural and unnatural shades of hair, and
they are much more hygienic than the
scalp-heating rat
ffcf ic
for the twin pompadour frames that pro-
vide for the hair being parted in the
center of the head and they make 1t easy
to puff the hair out In SOFT, attractive
rolls at the temples and ears. When the
hair is scanty and grows unbecomingly it
is possible to beat nature at her own
game by yelling the frame with naturally
curly hair. There Is nothing the least bit
frames so treated. and in summer, when
the hair is apt to be unmanageable, a
transformation of this sort will be found
advantageous not only to ones appear
ance. but to ones disposition. For is
there anything more conducive to bad
temper than stringy, straight locks that
hang about ones face after the depress-
ing manner of flag at half mast! When
the knot has been arranged in the pre-
yailing mode much latitude may be given
the arrangement Of the hair in front,
which may be OF comparatively natural
shape. Only one point Is insisted upon
the hair must not only be wavy and
fluffy, but smooth and glossy. The part
ed pompadour. If one may be permitted to
so dignity the small roll over the temples.
is the mode OF the moment. It stands
out very little from the face and is slight
ly waved. more often at home than on the
irons Of the hairdresser. The parting
may be in the center or at the left side,
with the hair brushed away from it, in
man fashion. At the right side the part
sweeps down over the brow and across
the temples in a large ripping wave: the
left side goes over the ear and is tucked
into the small Psyche knot that stands
straight out from the head.
Indeed. as l have said before, there
never was time when more Importance
was attached TO the wearing of ones hair
than today, and the woman who pur-
