NEW STYLES FOR THE HAIR.

VEILS POPULAR,

(By A PARIS EXPERT.)

White flares in the hair will be much in vogue during the coming season, for Parisieunes have decided that a streak of white or grey in their coiffures gives an air of distinction and smartness. In the past, both men and women who possessed natural flares have often been the envy of their friends. Now, however, their privilege is to be usurped by numerous smart women who are having recourse to the art of coiffeur to give • them the cachet and distinction of the flare. Paris has discovered a shampoo that will produce the flare or whiten the hair entirely if desired. Many women with pnwaved hair which is dark in shade choose a little wing of solid white to break the hair at the sides. Hairdressers advise a

soft, lightly-com bed flare, mingled with the rest of the hair for a woman who wears her hair in definite waves. There arc aleo original flares which grow from the nape of the neck and show in the chignon of curls, while other etyles of (lare are straight in front of the heads, perhaps running into a fringe. Veils. ' In their search for mysterious charm, Parisian women are not stopping at noselength veils. Many reach down to the shoulders, or are draped i" graceful folds about the column of the throat. Fanciful in the extreme arc some of the latest creations of tho veil. Imagine, for instance, a dainty veil of pale beige tinted with "rouge" in two places to give colour to the cheeks, or a model trimmed with fronds of ostrich feather relieved by dots of chenille. Most of the veils are "circular, and are just dropped over the top of the hat. Some Qf these veils have a black circle embroidered round the eye to represent an eyeglass. Wonders can be wrought with the einjple short veils of square or round meshed tulle. A dainty veil falling just over the nose will give that attractive expression of depth and mystery to the eyes, while the length of a" nose can be altered by the way in which a veil is worn. A long nose will appear short if cut about halfway by the line of a veil, while a too short n'oee will acquire additional length from a veil which falls just below the tip. Whatever kind of veil is worn, Parieiennes have adopted those which allow them to keep their hair,in immaculate order. Spring Millinery.
