Perhaps for the American. who has
always preferred the simple coiffure. the

demands the particular charm, piquancy
and allure Of the Frenchwoman's face

tinction and chic are its keynote rather
than mere prettiness. The Frenchwom-

The formal note in hairdressing owes
much TO the influence of the titled
eInigrees from eastern Europe now re-
siding in Paris and London. For ex-
ample, the popularity of jeweled head
dresses is attributed TO tho Russian
exiles now living in Paris, and the new
distinction in hairdressing. whose es-
sence is simplicity, IS unquestionably
cue TO the influence Of these women Of
the ancient regime. For generations
European women have appreciated, as
Anglo Saxon women never have, the
charm and distinction of exquisitely
dressed and cared for hair. They have
always known that the charm of the
hair must always and inevitably be
first in the luster that results from
careful brushing by 4 well trained
maid. and afterward IN the line of

For example, for the morning in the
city, or for that matter in the country
too. she will probably wear small
snug hat which demands a very par
ticular style OF hairdressing. The Amer
lean woman prefers a softer treatment
OF the hair TO frame the face under the
morning or sports hat than does the
Parisenne. and she will therefore not
