Hk.IR STYLES FOR
SPRING MARVELLOUS
Ears Are No Longer in Vogue.
Girls Now Eliminating
the Face.

As inevitable as the budding Of the
leaves or the appearance OF straw hats
the springtime brings US new styles of
hair dressing
They are new styles for some Of US to
wear and the rest of US to wonder about.
| In one block on Fifth avenue, New York.
one bright afternoon this past week
| counted seven distinct STYLES Of hair
dressing. including the young thing with
the cheek curl that tickled her nose to
the prim spectacled lady with locks pull
ed back from her ears.
Fifth avenue belongs to the whole
world, but the ear-muffied style Of hair
dressing which looks so typically New
York, seems to predominate. In fact,
We see II everywhere, in the theaters.
| hotels, on the street. Why do We adopt
this? Surely the girl cannot deceive even
herself into fancying the style is becom-
| ing.
With the appearance OF the cheek curl
the whole contour OF the face is marred.
Two eyes, a nose and a mouth-the rest
is hair, hair. For some time no one
has really known whether the young girl
who aims to keep up with the latest
styles really has any ears or not, and
now her face is being eliminated. too.
To affect the low. ear-mufied style
becomingly, the texture of the hair
must be soft and fluffy. 1t must drop
over the ears as though the hair real
ly grew that way, and not as though
IL was being held so against its will.
This latter is the appearance OF two
out OF three heads I have noticed. The
hair makes a hard line about the face
when confined in a set angle. Better
by fa- to be less stylish and prettier.
The simplicity of the present style
OF hair dressing is quite deceptive.
Just as a simple gown with plain lines
requires an expert to cut and At II, so
the severe hair dressing must be done
''just So" or ii is vastly unbecoming
and unnatural Before you change
your mode OF doing the hair, have a
professional hair dresser experiment
with it and then show you the correct
way 1t should be done.
You may stand before your mirror
and practice doing your hair until
your arms ache and every pin YOU DOS
sess is in use, and then fail to get just
the right twist. An hour with the hair
dresser would simplify this difficulty.

The hair Is drawn down almost to the
eye. covering the ear well. The left side
is brought around over the little knot
to which the right is already pinned and
rolled under lengthwise. catching II in
place with two fat pins at either end.
The pins hold the hair firmly over the
ears, yet deprive it of the plastered-
down effect that comes from Improperly
dressed hair.
Choose your hair pins with care. Moth
ing so cheapens the whole appearance
as a display OF bad taste in hair orna-,
ments. Plain shell pins are the best
taste, except for evening wear.
Stand, now, before your mirror and ,
look at your hair carefully. Is It beconf-
ing as well as stylish? II not. suppose
you do aoms sxperimenting today.
