THE NEW HAIRDRESSING.

Suddenly, and practically without "warning (says the "Moltoourno Age") the shape of our heads has ichanged from, something of an unduJ?.ti"S 1 description to something uncommonly like what nature meant those-same- headc to lje. For .nearly two years our hair "has been puffed, tensed,' and ;done up into a multitude of rolls, year or : so before that great cart wheels of hair surrounded'.our heads,, while .away'iu the, dim : recesst>s of <jur memory thero are visions of "frizzed"', fringes, basket ..plaits, "buns," , and other hirsute misdemeanours. Now j: all at once, something, almost classic has■ descended on us. Hair is brushed smooth, puffed 'slightly at; tho sides, and; wound - into ' coils. In Sydney they speak of a swathed stylo. of hair dressing, and. that- very . nearly .describes; it. Bound the head is a graduated band of metal galoon; ribbon,, or embroidery. This band is wider at . the back; the hair being held up by., it: in, a. sort of .glorified; sling. At the. last, two balls of the - - season tlieso bands: were; a . quito'/Wonderful feature. They were, 'sewn! with; sequins, 1 ; with crystals; aiid, in-.one or. two instances,; with ' jewels.' They were 1 of filet net, beautifully embroidered with pearls and silver, or they were of silk or gold tissue, quite exquisitely embroidered: To anyone with; even' remotely-classical.features, tho change is .eminently'.'.becoming,-and' some ! of our best looking women never looked better than when they recently surprised their friends by. appearing at a specially small ball with, smoothly coiled arid burnished tresses.
