COIFFURE STYLE
SUITABLEFOR ELDERLY WOMEN

1t is rumored in fashion centers that
the pompadour is doomed, but in my
opinion it will never go out of style as
long as there are elderly women to
wear 1t, for there is no other couture
so generally becoming to matrons past
their youth. Fortunately there are sew
eral kinds of pompadours, the soft, loose
one, that so becomingly frames the face
of the thin, slender woman; thel. the
arrangement of the tresses taken back
smoothly over a cushion to add dignity
to face too full for symmetry. In fact,
oftentimes the pompadour will actually
redeem a face from coarseness if only
the right lines are chosen in its arrange
ment.
For instance, if the forehead is low,
then the hair must be taken up above
the brow and puffed slightly at the sides.
When the forehead is high the pompa-
dour may spread itself apart either di-
rectly in the center or at the left side.
When the nose is a prominent feature
it will be better to make the division
on the side.
Surprising the face is long and cheek
bones high, then the pompadour may be
divided into three portions.
That over the fOrenead Will be rather
fiat 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 to ear and frame the face.
So much for the front hair dressing of
the elderly woman.
The new styles for the back of the
head show decided changes. The fiat
puff encircled by the swirl is now con-
sidered entirely correct. Taking its place
is the group of small puffs arranged ir-
regularly midway between the crown of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-03-24

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 will gladly adopt
it. So far as / see there is little differ
ence between the arrangement of the
back hair for young women and for
older matrOns. The front only differs.
Women of mature age will continue to
use the pompadour. while youthful ones
will just fluff the hair little around the
face.
The new coiffures demand little in the
way OF 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 fiat square headed pins,
two or three being employed.
AS the entire back of the head is COW
cred with the combination OF puffs and
braids the coiffure may be described as
an elaborate one. For this reason, per-
haps, there is no material change be-
tween the hair dressing for day and
evening.
For evening affairs a small aigrette
is added between the puffs, or a jeweled
pin is substituted for the one of she'll.
A noted hair dresser tells me combings
from woman's head can be worked
into charming little additions to the
natural hair. He says he buys Quanti-
ties daily and prefers this kind to any
other in his work. 1t seems that great
skill is called for in manipulating comb
ings into switches and curls and for
this reason only competent persons
should be intrusted with the work.
Sometimes a switch that looks hand
some when bought will, when washed,
mat together SO it is impossible to
straighten the hairs again. This is be-
cause the roots have not been set on at
the stem, or the hair has been mixed,
that is, part are the root ends and part
the tips. All have been gathered togeth-

Care of Nails.

Care in wiping each finger and toe nail
after washing will do much to improve
their form. For example. each separate
finger should be rubbed with towel,
beginning at the top of the nail and
working or pressing down to the cuticle
The effect Of this is to prevent the flesh
from growing over the nail. and the
habit once acquired will accomplish ex-
-cellent results. 1t is useless to wipe all
the fingers together. for the moisture Is
not taken from the base of the nails, and
so the flesh from constant wetness be-
comes thick and coarse. Scratching the
enamel also coarsens 1t and that is why
the surface should not be touched with
soaking. .
Too little attention is given to nails of
the toes. For instance, judicious shap-
ing, which Is easy, prevents IMPROVING
nails, and is done by cutting the top in
a round or pointed effect. AS is done
with the fingers, nails of the feet should
be fled concave; that is. the center must
be lower than the sides TO do this with
scissors or knife is painful but with a
tile it is easily accomplished.
The object or benefit of this method Is
realized when pressure is brought at
either side of the toe, for the flesh, In
stead of being pushed over. remains IN
place, while the nail gives. Cases of in

simple treatment and keeping the edges
of the nails just high enough to extend
above the quick.
When the toes are thoroughly dried in
the crevices after the nightly tub soft
corns are less likely to form.
For the fingers there is no greater mis-
take than to f1le or cut away the nail so
low at the sides that the flesh f1attens.
Even fingers that taper naturally may
have their grace destroyed by inJndicious
cutting, and a point to be borne in mind
by every one is this: That whatever oval
effect may be gained when nature has not
formed the finger tips in this desired
shape is by allowing the nails to grow,
and shaping them above the quick For
inst as certain as the flesh at the sides is
cut away, SO will the finger spread into
an ugly fairness. At all hazards the
nails must be supported at the sides. At
the top they may be pointed. and at the
bottom the cuticle may be pushed down
until the process just fails of being pain
full. but the sides must be let alone. IL
this Injunction is remembered fiat finger
