STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING.

Short hair dies very hard in Paris. It is not only that women do not want to go through the intermediate stage, which, after all, is fairly easily coped with. They very much dislike the idea of hairpins again. Short hair is, therefore, being given a long appearance partly by means of long hair which takes on and off and partly by the way in which it is waved. A good many people are letting the sides grow and finished with horizontal rolls over the ears. The neatness and tidiness of short hair at the back has too 1 strong a hold over its owner for her to do anything but persist in it. The rolls of hair at the side show a little at the back, and so give an impression of long hair, which is very neatly trimmed behind.

Another method is to grow all the hair a little longer. It is parted on the side, and the longer side is waved in rolls which are not unlike the topcurl which used to be inflicted upon little boys. There are two or three of these, though they are kept rather flat. Only one is set over the short side, and it covers the ear. At the back the longer hair is waved to tuck under in a roll on the nape of the neck. This relieves the bareness, and at the same time preserves the neatness necessary to make the modern hat look well. Where long hair is put on for occasions it is arranged to make a twisted roll all round the head. This covers the nape of the neck and crosses the top of the head about an inch or so from the forehead. Where the hair is kept short the waves are made rather larger and generally diagonally across the back of the head. It is noteworthy that although dress has grown more untidy It is still an article of faith that hair should be as neat as possible. SHADES AND TINTS. The tints of a colour are made by adding white to a normal colour—the more white added, the lighter the tint. Shades are made by adding black to a colour. A shade is darker than normal colour. A tint is lighter.
