CURLS NO LONGER In VOGUE
Their Tremendous Popularity Thing
of the Past, at Least for the
- Coming Spring.

Hairdressing is always rather a
.yexed question when the new spring
hats make their appearance. Curls,
which perhaps represented one Of the
prettiest types Of couture which have
been in vogue for long time past,
have, simply died Of q too.extended
popularity, and the pretty shining
punches arranged so Immediately by
the hairdresser have ceased to exist
for the well.dressed woman. That we
have all of US felt the loss OF them
there is no doubt, but the present
fashion is even easier Of manipulation
that the curls. 1t requires, however,
extraneous aid and consists of round
frame covered with hair, which is ar
ranged in the form Of wide plat
spread out over it. The frame Is
pinned securely to the head, and coils
Of the natural hair are twisted around
it, being held in place with the wide
tortoise-shell pins Of which every wom-
an possesses large supply nowadays.
The hair is parted in the center or
at the sides, and the effect from every
point Of view is distinctly good. while
it's arrangement Is the simplest thing
imaginable. For evening wear special
frames are made, which are covered
with waved hair in lieu Of the plat,
but as these necessitate that the whole
Of the hair shall be waved to CORE
spond whenever they are worn, they
end by. proving too expensive a pos
session for many women, even after
the initial cost is betrayed.
But when all is said and done, those
who are independent Of supplementary
locks from the hairdresser achieve by
far the prettiest coiffures. The simple
Greek hairdressing. with the hair part
ed in the center Of the head, and
rolled up in soft pouf. low down at
the ears, with just knot or coil be-
hind, is so pretty in the case Of the
girl who owns fair hair with a nat
ural wave in it, that it makes every
artificially dressed head look unat-
tractive by comparison. Such a Golf
fure pays all the debts which are owed
TO fashion by proving so infinitely be-
coming to the wearer.

SPRING HATS AND THE HAIR
Headoear Must Not Only Be in FASH
ion, But Should Have Many Other
Requirements.

Edith ?L. Weidenfeld, writing of the
spring hat in Woman's Home Comp2n-
ion, says that the arrangement OF the
hair plays a more important part in
millinery than the average woman ad-
mits. The average woman, when Sc
lecting a hat, has an idea that she
ought TO get the newest III color, shape
and trimming, regardless OF its rela-
ton to the shape or her head, the
contour of her face, or the arrange
ment of her hair. She wonders, then,
why she does not like her hat after
she has. worn il, and it takes several
long interviews with her mirror before
she realizes that the hat which the
saleslady assured her was the newest
thing, and becoming, is entirely map.
propriate and unrelated to her own
particular style.
Miss Weidcnfeld goes on to give the
news about spring hats. Following are
brief extracts:
Stiff, heaTy straws are no longer
mudish; they have been succeeded by
soft straw braids, and many of the
new models are covered with taffeta.
either plain or in changeable effects.
trimmings are slipping around to-
ward the front, many being placed at
the direct front, and others at the side
very near that point. For dress hats,
ostrich plumes are fashionable for
trimming. They lie quite fiat against
the hat, under or on the brim, or they
stand up very straight and stiff. 4
single ostrich plume, Or two Or three
tips in prince OF Wales style, are more
appropriate for spring wear than a
cluster of four or five feathers with
heavy hues. Wings and ornaments
made Of fabrics, lace and straw braid
are in good style, and so are bands Of
Irish, Venise or macrame lace"
