Pompadour Revival.

Elderly women will be glad to know
that there is to be return Of the POM
padour this season, for no style of hair
dressing is more generally becoming to
those past their first youth than the POM
padour effects.
In the first place, the arrangement adds
a dignity to the figure, and in the sec
| ond there are SO many variations OF the
| mode that almost every type Of face can
be becomingly suited.
When the face is round and plump the
full, fluffy pompadour should be chosen,
| so as to form a background to the face.
| The hair should be raised well above the
forehead when the face is short as we'll
as round, and be only pulled slightly at
| the sides. 49,
a short. round face is apt to look moon
like If framed by a pompadour OF the
same height all around.
When the forehead Is high the hair
should be, parted slightly to one side and
! is taken back. A fluffy rather than a
severe effect should be the aim.
| In the case OF long, thin face the
front portion of hair should be divided
| into three and be waved In large loose
hanging fluctuations, then taken back as
considered most becoming to the type of
| face. If there is tl1inness at the temples
the hair should be brought out to fill such
| hollows, while, If the forehead is unduly
| little, concealfhg the defect.
|. The marcel waves are coming in again
| also, due to the fact that the groups Of
curl puffs are an actual craze and the
discovery that straight hair in the front
and curl puffs in the back form a COM
binatfon far. from pleasing, because it is
unnatural looking.
Since rats have been dispensed with
for some months, the hair has probably
had a chance to grow. Every woman
knows that devices used for the founda-
ton Of the pompadour are apt to be very
ating and injurious to the hair. Women
whose front locks are scant should save
| their combings and have them made up
into a fringe on the transformation order
to go. half way round the head. A noted
ha1rdresser has many orders for these
pieces. The fringe is hooked around the
head and then taken up over a small rat,
completely conceaing every portion Of 1t.
Then the hair growing on the head is
taken back and should it divide. as it
surely will il scant or thin. the hair seen
between is an exact match, because made
from the combings.
So much for styles in hairdressing for
elderly women. After the pompadour the
modes are exactly the same for women
of all ages. Daughter, mother and even
grandmother show the same, arrangement
In the back-a group of puts, the size
and number as large as the purse will
afford, for very few women have sufIi-
cient hair to allow dressing it in this
fashion. =,
A hAirdresser, questioned regarding the
profits to be made on the sale Of false
hair, replied: =,
Things are about. evened- up. A woman
comes in and buys piece Of hair work
that Is all ready for pinning to the head
and We do not see her again, while
formerly she came in, frequently, prob.
ably twice or three times week, to
have her hair dressed. her scalp kept in
good condition, and for shampooing. Since
the head is now almost covered with the
ARTIFICIAL hair, she is able to give the
necessary treatment to her head herself.
SO, that really we have to charge high
prices for the false tresses.''
Braids are not worn as much as former
ly,.but those who have a good switch and
OF curl puRs and outlining it with the
strand loosely braided.
II one wishes to be very up-to-date the
puts should be arranged to stand out al
most In point in the back. Sometimes
| group OF three small ringlet curls is
pinned to the point. To my thinking, the
effect is nothing short Of grotesque, sug-
costing huge pineapple standing out
from the head. The line from the nose
to the tip OF the point Of hair measured
exactly three times the length Of the
sight"
Some Of the newest groups Of puts
have strands Of loose hair set on around
the edge. which allows dressing the back
OF the head in a more natural way than
II the group were quite stiff and set"
very few hair ornaments are used, be-
cause SO much hair Is worn no place is
LETT for them. The large shell hair pins
are used for pinning the braids down to
the head. and for young women the latest
garniture is a ribbon drawn through a
buckle. which may be OF metal. set, or
not, with. rllinestones, or a shell buckle
picked out with insets of silver
