RETURN OF THE FEMININE.

HAIR MYSTERY OF LAST COURT. MANNISH MODES GO IN PARIS. The return of long hair—and hairpins. That was the feature of the fourth and last-of-fhe-season Court held in London in June. “Of the scores of debutantes whom I saw in their cars as I walked along the Mall barely a dozen were shingled,” (writes a “Daily News” representative) “and those were skilfully disguised by cunningly arranged veils. Most of the heads of the debutantes were graced by little coils of' hair almost covering the ear, joined by a thick plait around the nape of the neck. Some wore side pieces of their hair curled forward and the ends of what was once a bob tucked under. Others , wore smaller ear coils and smaller plaits. But all these heads bristled with hair pins—none of your fancy torteishell arrangements but real honest and proper metal ones. The explanation may have been that the debutantes had been sitting in retreat waiting for the hair to grow? Or they may have visited a West End hairdresser and transformation maker! Frocks of rose and cyclamen shades had been chosen by many of the debutantes, but among the 1000 guests whom their Majesties received were to be found practically all the colours under the Sun. The Queen ’s dress was of silver tissue studded with pearls and diamante. The train was of Indian-jewel silver and pale topaz tissue.
