THE PLATINUM BLONDE.

The platinum blonde has vanished as 'if she had never been, and into her place has tripped the “rose blonde,” states an exchange. The rose blonde has hair dyed a delicate shade ol' apricot. The writer was told that she would probably wear frocks to match it, and that she would be the most fashionable, exotic type of the autumn. She made 1 ior llrst public appeala nee at Ihe Hairdressers’ Fashion Fair at Olympia recently. The fair • was also a triumph for ginger hair. Blondes and brunettes,• inslead of laughing at their ginger-haired sisters, are . now striving to acquire their red tints, for ginger hair is to be extremely chic. Some of the women who thronged Ihe fair to see the new coiffures went home “cringled.” Hair is shorler, and must not come below the nape of the neck. The cringle, the most popular of the new styles, consists of light waves at the back of the head, from which tight curls taper to the neck and round the Its original was revealed In the Fantasy of Fashion, which shows how the hair has been worn for the last 5000 years. The Greeks had their own version of the cringle, and statues of the god Apollo have inspired the newmode. Curls are more fashionable than ever.. Here are some of the styles specially designed by the hairdressers for different types: — The “sleek” type will wear her hair carried from the forehead almost to the nape of the neck to end in deep ■waves and curls. The “old-world” type may have tight “palm" curls carried across the forehead on a slant. For the “languorous” type the hair is parted down the centre and swept off the forehead, exposing It entirely, (lien brought back to frame the rest of the face. Mercifully, no woman need feel herself forced Into- a type. The new styles offer an infinite adaptability.
