WOMAN'S INTERESTS

COIFFURE IS PINNED ON 80LVE3 HAIR PROBLEM FOR THE BUSY WOMAN. ~— -•”♦" ,T ; ‘ ———- ■ - Variety of Btyles Adapted to All Types of Faces to Choose From, Thanks to Designers and Makers of Hair Goods. The problem of dressing the hair In the prevailing modes, for the busy women of the present day, could not be solved by the hairdresser alone, for an elaborate coiffure, or any fairly good effect In coiffures, requires the art of the hairdresser plus plenty of time. But there is no such thing any more as "plenty of time,” at least not In any quarter of the fashionable world. * Hairdressing has therefore really become, In the majority of cases, the pinning on of a cleverly made' coiffure; its adjustment securely and artistically to the head. Designers and makers of hair goods have been quick to seize upon the increasing demand for the plnned-on coiffure, and there are now a variety of styles to choose from adapted to different types of faces, or one may have one designed especially. These coiffureß consist of one or two, and sometimes three, pieces or are all In one. For persons with a scant allowance of hair the coiffure to be pinned on is provided with an additional piece at the front. One of the prettiest and simplest of the pinned-on coiffures is shown here. It consists of a chignon of smooth, well-arranged puffs made of hair sufficiently long to allow several of them to be pulled out into short curls which are brought down to the front hair of the wearer. Springing from the puffs at the back is a cluster of short curls. These are allowed to fall free or are pinned down to the neck, as shown in the picture. It seems incredible that so simple an arrangement of hair, and one so easily adjusted, can work Buch a transformation in the appearance of the wearer. But this simplicity is only an apparent simplicity after all. Such a coiffure is the result of the careful thought, long experience and consummate art of the designer. It is made to fit over and fasten to a coil of the natural hair at the back of the head. It is very light in weight and delicately woven, giving the scalp as

good, If not better, ventilation than the natural coiffure. It requires only occasional dressing and is easily combed. To dress the hair with this coiffure successfully requires only that the natural hair shall be clean and the front slightly curled. The curling Is accomplished by rolling the hair on kid rollers at night, if one must count the minutes in the morning, or by curling a few locks with the curling iron. The hair is combed back and tied at the crown of the head, the ends twisted and colled at the back. Thle coil, pinned with short, strong pins, makes a secure foundation for the chignon. The hair about the face and neck is then pulled out a little from the coll to make it soft and loose about the face. The chignon is next adjusted over the coil, pinned to it and to the hair. A few of the puffs are pulled forward

and pinned in with the loosened hair about the face. The small, hanging curls are arranged close to the head or allowed to hang free, as Is most becoming to the wearer. For daytime a plain band of black velvet ribbon makes a good finish and helps keep the front hair neat looking for the entire day, but the coiffure Is successful without the addition of ribbon or any other ornament For evening, this coiffure needs only the addition of a more or less elaborate ornament to complete a hairdress of which the wearer may be proudly conscious that it Is good enough for any function.
