Less Simple Styles In Coiffures

Hairdressing is not so simple as It was a few mohths ago, because the coiffures of today are dressed with waved hair. But the neatness of those plain styles was their chief charm, and the hairdresser is called upon to preserve that feature in the curled and waved coiffures that engage his attention now. Straight, unwaved hair may be becomingly dressed for a pretty and youthful face. Even so, it Is prettier when it catches the light in waves, and as for curls, they have been the admiration of mankind for ages. They have returned and there are several pretty fashions in wearing them. Younger women are wearing the hair waved and combed back in the manner of a email pompadour, with a Psyche knot at the back. In this style the ears are almost covered and there are a few curled locks about the forehead. The knot may be made up of several soft puffs and very short curls. However, wavy and curly, straggling ends or strands of hair blowing about the faee are not to be tolerated. The hair net or Invisible pins must hold them in place. Another pretty style, for young worn-

en particularly, shows the hair coiled at the nape of the neck, as in the illustration. There are several clever ways of managing the coil, depending upon the abundance of hair which it must dispose of. It Is pinned closer to the head than In the Psyche or other styles where the coil is higher. In this the hair is slightly waved and is brought back loosely, as in the preceding coiffure. For older women, or those that And a high coiffure most becoming, the hair is waved or marcelled all around the head and the knot or coil is brought Well forward on top. In this, and in the styles already described, three or more short curls are pinned in about the knot or coil. i In the matter of hairdressing women can afford to be somewhat independent. An individual style which suits the face of the wearer better than any other is not to be abandoned to follow a fashion. Women who have very long and abundant hair must nearly always dispose of it in coiffures of their own invention.
