THE NEW COIFFURE
SHOWS FOREHEAD
Lot of Hair Over the Ears Has Given
Place to Fascinating Little Curls
that Hang Down on
the Cheek.

Women who are interested in the
change Of coifures from year to year
should look we'll into this new one
which has made its appearance on the
horizon. AS yet 1t has not created
much of a disturbance In America, but
there is no doubt 1t will do 1t. We al
WAYS follow the styles in coiffures In
Paris with variations of our own. al
though II is to our credit that we have
not been SO foolish as they in powder
ing the locks. There is no doubt that
white hair, not gray, makes the lace
look Younger, and II is a wise dispen-
sation of nature that gives US the
chance to maintain a certain freshness
of youth by softening the hair as we
grow older. Brilliantly co1ored locks
on a face on which the years have left
lines only accentuate those marks ana
deepen the appearance of age.
II women would only understand this
well, and let the hair change its color in
Difference to the change In the face,
there would be little to cavil at II il
trua that many women help the process
along when they find the hair turning
gray by powder, or blueing in the wash
| ing water, or bay rum. The use OF tne
latter by the BARRIERS is what turns the
| hair white OF so many men, so the ex'
perts claim
Less Hair Over Ears.
| But hack to the manner Of arranging
/ the coifYure. The forehead shows foi
the first time in many years, and the
extremists are uncovering the ears. ou'
4 only the extremists. The new coinure
does not call for 50 drastic measure
There is not as much hair over the ear
as formerly: there is no regular tar
which -keeps out the cold, but its place
lis taken BY little curis that hang dowr
on the cheek. The French call these
"accroches coeur," which has the same
meaning as our old-time name for them
beau catchers, even IL trihe more re-
fined.
The trouble in this new colffure is tht
making of a point with the hair in tht
middle Of the forehead. Nature has en-
ldowed few women with this marx o.
beauty. and the semblance Is not eass
Ito achieve. The woman with the higf
forehead has indeed a problem to solve
for no one feature of the new arrange
lment is advisable except the curls ovel
1.-THE temples
Evening Couture.
In,the evening the long locks are heapet
in a pyramid on the crown OF the heaa
but in the morning they are subdued int
, a fat surface which is obtained In an!
, lone of the various ways by which
. woman works out her own couture
The first time the writer saw the nev
style as at Deauville in the baccara
lrooms of the Casino. The hair was draw
! quite away from the forehead of fac
i that was hypnotic in its charm rafhe
: than its beauty. One would have stare
e unconsciously at it even IL the uniqu

4 the "accroches coeur'' was missing; tn
n woman was too conscious Of her ow

e anything so perfect as her ears. On he
0 forehead plainly marked. were the nv
d points of beauty over which poets hav
: dreamed for centuries. And she did nc
h wear a hat, an omission which mean
l. much in a Parisienne. The dark lock

y crown of the small head and neithe
z Jewel nor aigrette spoiled the irreproacf
: able contour. 1t was a head that wi
stand in the memory long after n
