POMPADOUR STYLE
OF THE COUTURE

From the Philadelphia Star.
IL is rumored in fashion centers that
the pompadour is doomed. but ii will
never go out Of style as long as there
are elderly women to wear II, for there
is no other couture so generally becom-
ing to matrons past their youth. Fortu-
nately there are several kinds of pompa-
dours. the soft. loose one that so becom-
ingly frames the face OF the thin, slen-
der woman; then the arrangement OF the
tresses taken back smootly over a cush-
Ion 10 add dignity to a face too full Of
symmetry. In fact, oftentimes the pom
padour will actually redeem a face from
coarseness II only the right lines are
chosen in its arrangement.
For instance, II the forehead IS low,
then the hair must be taken up above the
brow and pulled slightly at the sides.
When the forehead is high the pompa-
dour may spread itself apart either d.
rectly' IN the center or at the left side.
When the nose is a prominent feature It
will be better 20 make the division on
the side
Surprising the face IS long and the cheek
divided into three portions.
That over the forehead will be rather
fat and those on the sides will be puffed.
The face that is rather heavy in the
lower part should have the long. all
around-the-head pompadour. or If there
is an objection TO this arrangement in the
back. then the rat should extend from
ear 10 ear and frame the face
SO much for the front hair dressing Of
the elderly woman.
TIE new styles for the back Of the head
show decided changes. The fat pun en-
circled by the swirl IS now considered en-
tIrely correct Taking its place is the
group Of small puffs arranged irregularIy
midway between the crown Of the head
and the nape OF the neck and surrounded
by loose broad braids
This is much more dignified in appear
ance than the smooth effects, so. no doubt
elderly women viii gladly adopt IT, SO
far as 1 see there is little difference be
tween the arrangement Of the back hair
FOR young women and for older matrons.
The front only differs.
Women Of mature age will continue 20
use the pompadour. while youthful ones
viii just fun the hair a little around the
face.
The new coinures demand little IN the
way o. decoration. Combs and barrettes
are entirely dispensed with. As far as
the puffs are concerned they might have
grown there, for there is no visible sup
port. The braids. however, are pinned
down with large fat square-headed pins,
two or three being employed.

Bat Nelson's Next Battle.
Lightweight Champ Will Meet
Tough Proposition In WOIgaSt

Of fans who think Nelson cannot beat
the good little youngster. The Dane
says himself that WOlgast is one of
the best boys he ever met. Adolph
proved to the San FrancisCans that he
was a fighter Of class when he put
Lew Powell away. Powell was con-
siderec by the coast fans to be the
best boy shown on the coast since
Jimmy Britt was in his prime. The
latest showing Of Wolgast, however,
was not so hattering for his admirers.
His bout in Los Angeles with George
Memsic was not a star affair, and Ad
had none too much the best Of it.
While he was given the decision by
the Los Angeles papers, the reports
sent out say that there was a majority
of the spectators who declared the
fight should have been a draw.
Nelson states that after his bout
with Wolgast he will take on Freddie
Welsh, the English champion, who has
been hankering for a match with the
Dane for more than year.

Champion Hueston Would Move First
Ball of Pyramid Out.

Thomas Hueston, the pool champion,
has a new open play idea to Increase
the popularity Of the game. Hueston
says: Instead of racking up the pyra-
mid and leaving it intact as at pres
ent, would have a spot made in the
center Of the table Immediately be-
tween the two side pockets. After the
balls had been racked up as they now
are l would have the first ball Of
the pyramid, the one that is now left
on the spot on the regular tables,
moved down to this extra spot be-
tween the side pockets. Then the
player would have TO place the cue
ball on the pyramid side of the object
ball. He could cut the object ball IN
the side and by making three cush-
ions could get his cue ball back into
the pyramid and break the balls. The
cue ball would have to make one or
more cushions before break could be
made"
