THE most striking couture which
! made its appearance in midsummer
showed the hair brushed back from
the face, without curl or wave, and the
forehead entirely uncovered. Where
the hair is naturally wavy and the
forehead well shaped this style was
possible. But, even SO, only youthful
wearers could carry 1t on: 1t proved
generally unbecoming. Therefore the
new off-the-faee coiffures are waved
and the hair brought down over the
forehead for little way, when such
an arrangement is found to suit the
style of the wearer.
The hair is most conveniently
dressed in these new styles by parting
off portion of 1t all around the head
and waving 1t. This leaves the back
hair to be combed up to the crown and
coiled into support for the end OF the
waved portion. A very small and
rather fiat hair roll placed around the
head before the waved hair Is combed
