Hotel Walton tonight about the heads OF
| 40 pretty models, who will be the big fea-
ture of the annual hairdressers' fashion
show and ball, to be held there.
Expert "locksmiths" will come from

late evening and even midnight will be
demonstrated.
The models will be arranged along a
table that will stretch from one end OF
the huge ballroom to the other. Each
one will be attended by hairdressing
artist, who will take down her hair,
and then build 1t up according to the
latest DEGREES for the benefit of the So
ciety folk who will attend the SHOW.
Everything is done openly. No curls are
palmed and slipped into the pyramid or
hair on the models head while the
audience is not looking, There are double
mirrors before each model so that the
best possible view may he had of the
proceedings. Each artist will demonstrate
several different styles, though some,
who have achieved fame and fortune by

Tho throng is at liberty to pass from
one exhibit to another. Last year, 1t is
said there were fully 10000 persons at

'N1ere man. will be allowed to see for
himself what proposition it has been.
since Eve first put daisy In her hair
and looked at her reflection in pool, to
twine womans locks into what will in
truth be her "crowning glory" If the
brute masculine has an idea that it Is a
simple matter for his lady to put up her
hair, like taking n long string of puffs
and switches and winding 1t through her
hair like tinseI on the branches of
Christmas tree he will get start tonight
when he sees the deadly precision, the
skill, the technique, the art and the science
that the master hairdressers show in
going about the task
The show tonight will be held under the
auspices of the Philadelphia Hairdressers
Association. Many local artists will show
the new styles. 1t is said that 70 brand
new tricks in doing the hair will be shown.
The figures mount overwhelmingly when
one attempts to ascertain just how many
new wrinkles have been introduced in the
art of hair fixing" since the beginning
of time-the number of women, the number
of times each has changed her style and
created a new one. Thus 20 new styles
will be decidedly interesting.
The tendency in hairdressing this sea-
son will revert to that in vogue in 1910
This is in keeping with the styles in
clothes which demand the high-crown
hat with flare at the back, known as
the Vatican model. To accord with this
the foreIock will be brought down low
over the brow in dip. The hair will be
taken back and reach its best height at
a distance three-quarters of the way. 1t
will. end in a full Psyche knot" AS
finishing touch artistic hairdressers are
tacking a cluster of curls to the knot.
These, it is calmly stated, are artificial.
To get the best effect, it is said the
latest creation of the hairdressers must
be brought into play. This is called the
"lover's knot" and Is a two-stemmed
switch that falls away in beauteous mar
celled waves. Hair, to be strictly in style
this year, should be chestnut. Only the
most brazen persons will appear in public
with their ears bare. Stylish persons will
bring the hair forward as much as possi-
BILE to frame the face.

the fashion show tonight and ball to

mund Paussen, Emanuel Eimert, A. NJ.
