GOLDEN COMBS RETURN
Those delightful curved golden combs which are noticeable in portraits of both Josephine and the Empress Eugene, have been revived for evening wear with Victorian and Directoire ensembles. They may be worn at the back of the head, or detached from the comb proper to form a coronet. Some enterprising jewellery designers are creating narrow circlets, on the same principle, but with a more modern air. I am a little surprised, and, on the whole, rather pleased, remarks the writer, to see that few of the latest coiffures leave the forehead bare. This will be good news, I know, to all those who are unblessed with a marblelike brow. Light fringes, curved fish-hook locks or curls, that bear, however, no resemblance to the uncompromising “ bangs ” of our grandmother’s day, all serve to soften and change the outline of the face.
