DELAWARE STYLES IN
REVOLUTIONARY TIMES

The reformers who in Wilmington and
elsewhere are complaining of bobbed
hair or of the puffs with which most girls
have been covering their ears might do
well to compare coiffures of 1921 with
tho e of l77I in Delaware Then the
fashionable women of the State followed
the directions in the London Pocket
Book" a manual of the period, This
book said.
EVERY lady who wishes to dress her
hair with taste and elegance should first
purchase an elastic cushion exactly
fitted to the head. Then having ccmbed
out her hair thoroughly, and properly
thickened il with powder and pomatum,
let her turn il over her cushion IN the
reigning model. Let her next divide
the sides into divisions for curls, and
adjust their number and size from the
same models. II the hair be not of q
sufficient length and thickness, 1T will
be necessary to procure an addition TO II,
which is always to be had ready-made
and matched to every color.
At one time shortly prior TO the
Revolution the hair was dressed IN
such an enormous pyramid that q
wornans face seemed to be placed IN
the middle of her body Short ladies
had their shoes made with wooden heels
