, sired hair arrangement can be de-
veloped. For the busy American
woman is suggested a medium short
hair cut that does not necessarily mean
neckline, then. following her prefer
ences in the matter, there may be curls
at the neckline or this hair may be
sWirled upward either straight up or to
one side and the ringlets above the
neckline some three or more inches.
There is a simple and conservative
way OF cutting the hs1r that allows for
as many as eight different arrange
ments. MIR. Smith demonstrated four
different arrangements Of the same
couture on living models to prove his
point For general daytime wear the
back hair is set in close ringlets that
extend further up than We have been
wearing them recently. This fills in
| below the hat and takes away that
long, vacant sweep that was most try
ing to many profiles. The hair on the
forehead and sides may be arranged
in several ways to frame the face most
pleasingly. A petal curl instead of the
center part and the hair brushed back
and up at the sides in soft petal swirls
is good and need not leave the ears
entirely uncovered. This same coif-
fure may be dressed much higher and
much more elaborately for evening,
and then on the following day be put
back into its simpler form.
The coiffure shown above is inter-
esting for its softness across the fore
head and is excellent for the person
with the long face and exaggerated
height Of brow. Although this looks
complicated. it happens to be a very
simple arrangement when you know
the trick.
ON SATURDAY, in addition to the
usual fashion promenade which
has been feature Of the weekly
luncheons in a local hotel coiffures
were also shown by one of the leading
local hairdressers. Here again, in talk
ing to the man who put his ideas across
so convincingly, we were informed that
there Is absolutely no question about
hair being shorter If 1t is not cut
short. it is dressed to give that effect.
He likes the hair close at the sides,
with few becoming petal curls that
have backward swing. The hair is
brushed of the neck for several inches
and then allowed to make cluster of
ringlets. which may be held in place
with bobby pins or small comb. This
type of coiffure places the interest,
when seen in profile, at q point that
suggests many of the Greek statues,
and in particular, Psyche.
A youthful arrangement using the
same basic idea has q wreath of ring
lets close to the head all the way
around, with a nice little tuft of curls
where Psyche wore q knot. This
rosette of curls is fascinating and it
fits snugly right inside the crown of
the hat, leaving the outer wreath of
curls to show under the brim.
For longer hair that gives the ap-
pearance Of being short, the hair is
laid in soft puffs behind each ear and
the center back-swirled smoothly
across from left to right. Below this,
the hair is cut in q pointed neckline.
This is well suited to the woman who
has q large head and thick hair, for
1t looks smooth and well groomed at
all times and Is kept close to the
head.
A tip to the wise is that If you are
expecting to have a permanent wave
soon. don't neglect to have some scalp
treatments first to get your hair and
scalp in the best possible condition,
as this will insure more satisfactory
results from whatever type Of wave
you decide to have.
