HAIR DRESSING

VARIETY OF STYLES. The question of hair does almost as much conversational duty now as the question of weather used to do. Ever since women first started to cut their hair, the rival merits of the long and the short fashion have, of course, been holly discussed, but never, perhaps, more hotly than during the present season, when we do not really know whether it is newer to have chignons, lo adopt the mingle, the windswept, the long curl style, or the light wave, or to have our cars covered or bare. It is all most confusing.

Natural looking waves and curls are the only ones now tolerated by the hairdressers. The double roll is a pretty way of wearing hair that has been allowed to grow rather long, and another fashionable style of hairdressing is provided by hair that Is waved softly over the forehead, and is then arranged in flat curls at the nape of the neck. The much-talked-of mingle provides an experiment, and most women find the two rolls of hair more easy to manage than the many little curls that form the mingle. For this there are two rolls of curls set in good proportion, because the top hair is cut 3in. shorter than the under hair, and the latter, rolled up Into little curls, hides the ends of the upper hair, making it all look neat and tidy and shapely. But whatever hair fashions firmly ren-am In vogue, after this passion for experiment is over, one thing is certain. You seldom see an Eton crop now, nor an ordinary shingle. Indeed, the bob Is now more generally seen than the shingle for with the bob you nave more hair with which to experiment, and if it cannot be coaxed into c;ris, it can at least try conclusions with the soft waves that are so fashionable and so becoming.
