Little New in Style of the Coiffures of To-Day

Coiffures are still following the fashions of fifty years ago or of those even further back. They are glossy,' parted, dressed close to the head and are neat looking. The ears are covered in all of them and in almost every one the hair is waved a little or curled about the face. The part is not always at the middle, but in the majority of cases it Is. A little, very short and light fringe across the middle of the forehead is becoming to some faces. There is almost no arrangement so pretty for a low forehead as the middle part and occasionally it is good on a high forehead.

The hair is arranged in coils at the back of the head above the nape of the neck. Occasionally one sees soft braids wound about the head. When there is a scant supply of hair the small chignon of puffs takes the place of coils. Not so many bands are worn now except for the evening headdress. Strands of pearls or a narrow band of rhinestones provide the finishing touch for these demure coiffures, The styles were never more fascinating, never displayed the adorably lovely hues of beautiful heads or the luster and color of hair to better advantage.
