HAIRDRESSING STYLES

IN LONDON AND PARIS It is interesting to compare the different stylos of hairdressing popular in Loudon and Paris. The Parisicnno has returned thankfully to the sleek, shingled head, with a long sweep of hair brushed round from the brow to the back of the head, and softened with only the slightest suspicion of a wave. English women prefer the more elaborate, but less groomed styte which was popular yast year, with the hair worn fairly long and turned up into a roll at the back, waved softly about the face, and hiding the ears. The latter stylo of hairdressing is more suited to the off-the-brow hat, as it leaves a softly waved band of hair showing to break the rather hard sweep of the upturned brim. These hats give almost the effect of a bonnet. They need perfect features to appear becoming, and neatness of feature should bo accompanied by simplicity of dress. • London watches with amusement the frenzied efforts of Paris to evolve a really satisfactory hat. The halo, the sailor, the mortar-board —a new style has been invented every week. This week’s hat is the toreador, which copies all the features of the Spanish hat down to the red tassel. Its popularity is expected to make for Spanish influence in dress, with the lace scarves and shawls, bright sashes and toreador cloaks. In spite of the bewildering variety of new hats, however, the average French woman, conscious that the beret suits, refuses to abandon it.
