The Newest Idea

(From Our Correspondent.)

London.

You must appear hairless under the new hats in front, but you can have little curls clustering round the brim at the back. And when you take off the hat, you also take off the curls, which are stitched to the brim!

This is one of the charming new ideas in millinery from Paris. Any brunette who believes that gentlemen prefer blondes will find it so easy. A large black hat shown at a fashion display yesterday had golden curls stitched rather to one side, so that they fell in a bewitching way to the left shoulder.

A small brown hat appeared to have hair just curled over the back brim. The “hair” consisted of little ostrich feathers!

If hair must show in front, let them be few in number and curl downwards and backwards, away from the front of the face. That forward little curl on the cheek has passed with the Spanish influence. It was—and is in Spain—the line of the comb repeated on the cheek. Only very young women are letting their hair grow. The smart young-middle-aged are keeping to the permanently waved shingle and attaching curls when the dress demands longer hair.
