RETURN OF THE FRINGE
COQUETTISH OR FEY STYLES
Fringes arc fascinating. They are also fashionable.
The'fringe 1 has returned to popularity '(reports the London Daily Mail), not through any decree of the hairdressers, but through the example of fatuous women who had the courage to follow their own laste. Thefb are two kinds of fringe —the fringe cotyncttish anti the fringe fey. Thecoquettis)i fringe is tinea and straight 'and dark, and suit.' a face that is long, with'rounded cheeks and a pointed chin. It suggests the Schoolgirl,' it suggests impishness, and it, makes tin admirable foil for the play of sandy eves. Miss .'lessie Matthews anti Miss Colleen Moore are the best two examples of its success. Roth have the same type of face—the same girlish cheeks arid round innocent eyes with ii mischievous twinkle. 'J’rv to imagine either of: them fringeless, with an ordinary shingle, and it will be seen how great a part it: forms of: their personality. MORE WOMANLY. The fringe fey is more a womanly thing. It is wispy and irregular, artd the strands of hair have an appearance of curling inconsequently where and when they choose. It lends wistl'ulness and a quality of other-worldincss to the eyes. It 1 should never be worn except with eves that are beautiful and eyebrows 'that are perfectly marked. 'fids fragile fairy fringe has added cliArin to Miss Margaret Banncrman, if is worn with distinction by Miss dracie Fields. The supreme example is the Duchess of York, who was probably responsible for the return of the fashion. The gently curling strands over her fine eyes 1 and strong, 1 well-delined brows give an almost 1 ethereal quality to the beauty of her expression. And Frincess ‘Elizabeth’s fringe of curls has undoubtedly inspired thousands of mothers of small girls to imitation. The fringe is vet another step back to the 'nineties, which 1930 is bringing to life again. Unlike some of the other features, the fridge goes to the iCrodit side of the campaign.
