CURLS NO LONGER IN VOGUE

Their Tremendous Popularity a Thing of the Past, at Least for the Coming Spring. Hairdressing is always rather a 'vexed question when th*» new spring hats make their appearance. Curls, which perhaps represented one of the prettiest types of coiffure whigK have been in vogue for a long time past, have simply died of a too-extended popularity, and the pretty shining bunches arranged so immaculately by the hairdresser have ceased to exist for tbe well-dressed woman. That we have all Of us felt the loss of them -there Is no doubt, but the present fashion is even easier of manipulation •Hint the curls.

The frame is pinned securely to the head, and colls of the natural hair, are twisted around it, being held in place with the wide tortoise-shell pins of which every woman possesses a large Bupply nowadays. ' The hair Is parted in the oenter or at the sides, and the effect from every point of view ts distinctly good, while Its arrangement is the simplest thing Imaginable.

Such a coiffure pays all the debts which are owed to fashion by proving so Infinitely becoming wearer.
