THE COIFFURE OF THE HOUR What a change the present style of ■hairdressing is from that of a few months ago. Then it was waved and curled and mounted both high and wide; in fact, the more elaborate and complicated the arrangement of the'tresses tho better. But . gone now are all the puffings and frizzings, and in their place wo have the smoothest of heads. The present style of hair-dreeeing is somewhat trying to most people, as it is apt to be rather severe in its. plainness. Ot course, this is remedied in most oases by the nlait, which, unless one has an unusually good head of hair, is bound to be false. Even if one is well endowed in this respect, it is seldom that the hair is of such uniform thickness as to allow it to he worn in a plait from car to ear, or to be carried completely round the head. Velvet bandeaux, both for day and evening wear, are very much favoured, also iewelled and enamelled pins; combs, for the time, being con-, apicnous by their absence. Some of the sequined and jewelled bandeaux for evening wear are particularly lovely. Wo have three months of summer weather to get yet, and one is surprised to ■ find new summer millinery just, given away at Mrs Mathewson’a, Lambton quay. Tou can get such a smartlytrimmed hat there for 8s lid, and those at 12s 6d are good enough for tho most dressy occasions. The sale is only for ten days, so wise people will buy early. ♦ Bridal Debutante Presentation.— Hand Bouquets in all newest styles, ladies* drees and hair sprays. Gentlemen's coat flowers.
