FASHIONS IN HAIR.

Mrs Fenwi—.-Mil—r writes in the Illustrated London News :—Fashions in hairdressing are changing. The fringe ia no longer the great feature of the coiffure. Indeed, it has to a considerable extent departed -together, only a few stray curly rings of treases falling along the top of the forehead, jost to soften the effect. Even this is frequently dispensed with : women with intellectual foreheads, and who do not mind risking looking a little severe, turn tbe hair straight up, not straining it off the forehead, but prettily rolling it over a pad just above the rootMany faces are best suited by a style, whether of hair-dressing or of bead-cover* ing, which goes nearly stratight np above the face j a slope rising by degrees like a small hillock, from the brow to the middle of the head, is rarely becoming. Is trying that style of turning up the hair, therefore, it should be borne in ndnd that the front roll should not be set too far back on the head. A fter drawing, the front hair back over the.pad,, tte end or that hair and the back >***__» tXh (tether can be a—_tnged in a few eptls, or limed over pads to *^*®*g___% g£ of the bead; or ««ay«u«wwaa»witn jtetttyof-u-ir itc__ba combed backwards

and dressed a la Catogan. .For■this, all the hair is plaited in one thick loose coil, the end of which is turned up.once against the top part of the phut so tfiat it reachedTtbT nape oi! the where the two pc__o__.of .the plait are secured togetherTeither by a proper slide of tortoisefheU or of jet or of steel,-or -E-Jbva tie of narrow nbbon or a l=ow of velvet. The latter must, be black for outdoor wear, but may be white or colored for evening dress. For _i "Empire" evening gown, there is a distinctive sort of coiffure: a few curls fall on the forehead, the hair - thendrawn flat to the extreme top.Pomt or back of the crown, and there is formed into a large double bow, or close, high duster ot loops. A flat bandeau of gold, or of velvet with a diamond star on it, can then be laid across the head, or % tiara may be worn: or etnae of pearls may be twisted along the base of tiMsbow of hair, or a small half-wreath of flowers can be placed in the same situation. Hair-dressing and head-gear have always a natural relation. These new fashions in coiffures are all particularly suited to the new styles of chapeaux. Hats and bonnets both have flat crowns, so that there is small room within them for the top twists and frizzles of the style of doing the hair that is departing. But while the crowns of the newest bonnetrest almost flat on the head, the brims are high and open, and the front roll of hair looks well beneath them. The Catogan is particularly suitable for the croadfeimmed hats with the crowns covered with feathers that are now most fashionvble.
