Flat-Backed Head With New Hats
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Never since the days of 1896 has
hair been less essential than now.
OF course, one must have some hair,
but much hair one must not have.
Whereas in 1896 none of the wom-
en- possessed as much hair as they
required" says a German costume
writer of the last century, lin 1906
they could Scarcely have too little"
One might say the same, substitut-
ing 1918 and 1923 for the earlier
dates.
This state of affairs affects even the
stout-minded woman who wishes to
say: Let the fashion be hanged, I'll
wear as much hair as l please. l will
not be bobbed, / will not be shingled,
| will not wind my hair about my
head as an actress does when about
TO don wig" You cannot hang the
fashion SO easily. Hats are made to
TT the more frivolous heads that have
been more or less shorn. French
hats that have been sent over here
without being specially designed for
Americans have been entirely too
small in the head sizes. Many Arneri
cans in Europe this summer and au-
tumn have even bought their hats in
London rather than in Paris, getting
English adaptations Of the French
hats-becausc most English women
plaster it down.
But even with a larger head size
even if YOU have your milliner make
Your hat to order with 4 head size as
comfortably large as any one could
Want-Still the fact remains and be-
comes rather obvious when YOU have
looked in the mirror that the new
hat fashions were designed and work
ed out originally for the bobbed or
Shingled head. The extreme fatness
in the back of the head is essential

new hats he they cloche, the new silk
top hat of 1880. the breton with It's
round crown and rounded upturned
brim, the popular tam or beret, or
Lewis new Dutch bonnet with ear
tabs. They all are fiat-backed.
There is this much consolation.
Most women can produce the effect
of 4 smaller head and a rounder head
merely by leaving off padding. puf-
ting and ruffing, and the use of arti-
iiclal hair. Your back hair may be
brought around and made to roll un-
der above the ears and 1T is quite
possible, if your hair is not too thick,
to roll it under at the back in a way

Doubtless there will be eventual
reaction and the woman of abun-
dant and heavy hair will come again
TO her own. In the meantime we

When the Hair Splits.

Many women are distressed when
their hair, which has always been
perfectly healthy, suddenly begins to
show split and ragged ends. This
happens often at the end of the sum-
mer, when the hair has been too
much exposed to burning sun and
when the oil has dried out of It.
There IS no cause for immediate
worry; split hair is symptom rather
than n bad trouble. But 1t should
be treated at once and never allowed
to become a trouble. First, take thin
strands OF hair and either plat or
roll them very tightly (rolling is
uuickest). Rub the hand backwards
over the strand to bring up the ends.
Then clip or singe off all these out
standing hairs and take Off three
inches or SO from the very bottom OF
the strand, where most of the hairs
end.
