Among Coiffures Here Is a Favorite

Thdre may be several new things Ender the sun In coiffures, all seeking le favor of women who show less interest in new hairdressing styles than they did in prewar times, but none of them has had the success of the neat, attractive style that is pictured above. It is distinctly a youthful coiffure and It is worn, with little modifications as to partings, wavlngs, and disposition of locks about the forehead, by about nine out of ten of all the younger women.

Th this coiffure—at its prettiest—the hair is marcelled or water waved and brushed back from the top of the brow. At the temples, or at one temple, it is brought forward in a deep wave and pinned flat to the forehead. A deep full puff is rolled at each side, entirely covering the ears, and pinned to place with wire pins. The disposition of the hair at the back depends upon its abundance; for it is arranged in from one to four flat colls fastened close to the bead above the nape of the neck. ’ Where there is a lot of hair to dispose of the number of eoils is Increased in order to have them as flat as possible. Sometimes the hair at the forehead shows a shallow part at one side or the other, or it is combed back without any part, leaving the brow uncovered. For a very high fort-head a flat curl at the center is often found to be becoming. It is pressed down -

while the hair is damp and dries in that position. The rolls or puffs at the side are plainly an evolution of the bobbed style of hairdressing, which gave the same lines about the face but necessitated cutting the hair. Women who did not have the courage to go to this length managed by simulating the “bob” by means of rolls at the sides. This style has the advantage of giving the carefully groomed appearance that is essential to every coiffure now.
