In the front the hair may be parted.

taken to the back as softly as possible.
Should the forehead be quite low,
small pompadour will be becoming. and
IL unduly high short hairs should be
fiuffed over II or a low pompadour be al
lowed to droop a little.
When the face is square the hair
should be dressed as high as possible.
This will suggest length and incidentally
change the square face to modified

Of the oblong. but has square outline
(the corners being absent from the true
oblong), then the hair should be dressed
low In the back and puffed good deal
at the sides A high arrangement would
only tend to increase the length.
The thin, hatchet-shaped face must
have the hair dressed as low as possible
always. When the face Is short as well
as round the hair should be arranged
high upon the head. There is no better
style for this type OF face than the soft
pompadour the back hair brought softly
up to the crown and arranged in the
present fashion-an upward coil
A broad face or one unusually fat
should have the hair dressed as high as
possible over the forehead and only very
slightly puffed at the sides. Just sufficient
to form n background for the full cheeks.
The same rule will apply to high cheek
bones The hair should be brought be-
yond the bony structure. but should be
dressed fairly high over the forehead in
order to preserve a proper balance and
SO save the face from appearing too
broad.
Women with small noses may have the

the effect Of an outstanding coil Of hair
pinned down to the head in the back on
a line with a large or a hooked nose.
Not only Is the line from the nose Of the
twist of the hair out OF all proportion to
the length Of the face when viewed from
the side, but the arrangement OF the
hair actually calls attention to the size
of the nose.
When the nose is out of proportion to
the face or the other features, the hair
