Curls and Puffs
Are Creeping In
Sickness of Simple Close
CoiffUre to Be Relieved by
Scftening Effects.


fashionable couture for the last year.
This is because Of the European war,
for in France nacst all of the hair
dressers are men and they are fight
ing at the front
So the simple and rather close Golf
fure remains in style with pretty vari-
atoms upon it. a little added soft
ness takes away from the very slick
nude looking style of hair dressing
that has been the extreme style. Curls
and puffs are creeping in, very dis
creetly, II is true, but enough TO soften
the too prim hair dressing that made
women look smart but terribly
homely.
While the little beauty curls are no
longer seen in fashionable hairdress-
ing, ever increasing attention is being
paid to shaping the hair about the
face so that il will form into becoming
strands. Few women can stand draw
ing the hair back tightly away from
the face. Though nature meant the
hair line to be beautiful, it seldom is;
therefore art take a hand. By dragging
forward waves of hair and making
them form graceful, large curves, TIE
face is often markedly improved. y
thin face is given a curved contour it
really does not possess and a round
and too fat face is narrowed. a little
patience and a three-ply mirror dis
cover which curves are better for each
individual face.
Bodied Haircut Good.
The bObbed haircut is charming on
an oval face. 1t makes one look very
youthful Where one does not wish
to cut the hair off a "bobbed" trans
formation can be bought and the
wearer's hair tucked in under 1t is
rather a serious matter to cut the hair
off for a passing fad. For those who
have had their hair ruined by bad
marcel waving it presents a chance to
shear the hair off and start all over
again.
Low hair dressing is perhaps the
one hair dressing novelty, though it
has been brought in only recently be-
cause of the long narrow hats. The
hair is drawn back into a simple vague
coil at the Rape of the neck. Some
times this coil is hidden from view
under the waved hair and the shape
defined by hairpins.
No curling iron should smoke when
it touches the hair, and the person
who is having her hair curled should
protest vigorously when this happens.
A number of women in New York
now have their hair done with the
everlasting wave" A natural curl is
put into the hair that stays for long
while and that water only makes curl
all the tighter. This does away with
the necessity of curling the hair, but
have been told ii Is not good Tor
dyed hair, and one must in many hair
dressing shops sign paper relieving
the shop owner of all responsibility.
Marcel Wave Again.
Marcel waving properly done should
last a week. That is to say, IT should
last long enough to keep the hair waVy
so that it can be done up in quarter
of the time that it takes to arrange
straight hair. 1t is a pity that the
New York woman does not take more
advantage of this, for not only is time
saved in doing up the hair but the hat
looks much more stylish ana woman
better grOOmed.
Many protest that it looks too set.
After all, one is not obliged to do up
the hair like a wax figure after'it has
been marcelled. The beauty of a mar
eel or any other wave is that 1T keeps
all the strands of hair together. 1t
can be combed out enough to lose the
set" look that so many object TO.
Straight hair is becoming to so few
women that it is hardly worth men
tioning. Even straight har, If 1T Is TO
look well groomed and stay in place,
ought to be dressed by the hairdresser
or maid every day, and it is no easy
task at that
1t should shine as if Furnished,
which means long and careful brush
ing: the hairs must be trained by the
brush to go all in one direction and
not cross one another. a tiny bit OF
brilliantine is needed if il is dyed.
While the hairdresser always pro-
tests against cutting a bang or fore
head fringe, it is so becoming 10 many
faces that it always remains more or
less in style. half hidden, perhaps
under the soft pOmpadOur that is
drawn down over the forehead.
Almost every one now wears a halr
net Not every woman knows how 10
place il on the hair so that ii will not
show. The trick, a hairdresses con-
ided to me. is to put the hair up with
as few hairpins as possible. race
the hair net very loosely over It, PIN
ming the two ends momentarlly IN
front Then put in the rest OF the
bairpins The hairdresser is not stingy
with pins. / have counted 30 or 40 IN
a simple couture. The net Is mus
mined into the same shape as the
tresses and not too tightly.
At the last a hat pin is USED 10
shane the hair-to pull out lock That
is too hattened by the hair net, or TO
push into a perfect shape the wave
that has become crooked.
