Fashionable Couture

while the psyche knot at the crown of the
head often makes the face sophisticated
and even severe. Quantities of soft, fluffy
hair are required to make the new high
couture. but the hair Is wound In big
soft coils or thick soft braids. and puffs
are absolutely. nil from fashionable
standpoint. The soft coils or braids are
pinned securely in place for al their
shell pins thrust into the hair give the
effect of holding the loose couture in
place. The suggestion to the observer is
that If the big shell pins We're drawn
| tumble down over the shoulders. but, of
course, the structure is far too carefully
| built for any such catastrophe. even
when the wearer's hair Is her own
and three OF more expensive switches
| have not been used to make the big soft
| topknot.
| Two high hairdressings are pictured
one a modish arrangement for evening
i'wear (shown in the profile view) and the
other a more trim arran" ement for wear
during the day and under hat. The
! new hats have such large crowns that

| successfully. but II the hair Is too loose

back hair is formed into a loop or twist
high on the head. and around this is
coiled thick soft artificial braid. Large
she pins at either side finish the Golf
fure.
The evening couture is very soft and
careless in its arrangement and suggests
the .luxur.ant tresses OF young sirlhoOd,
brushed to q beautiful silky luster and

| very carefully built: The hair is first
made exceed ngly soft and fluffy by prop

back OF the head from car TO ear, and the

portion is drawn back over. the cars alt

toward the front, the ends of the parted
front hair being tucked under the figure
eight as the photograph shows. Lastly
the 10 KS Of hair at the back are brushed
moothly upward and formed into an
other figure e eht over the top and crow
OF the head. The arrangement Is d stately
and beautiful one and shows Off hand
