UP OR DOWN?
EDWARDIAN HAIR BTYLES (From a Correspondent) LONDON, December 30 According to Mr Kenneth A. Christy, the -well-known American hairdresser at present over here, the Edwardian coiffure will be absolutely out at the end ot the year. Hollywood has not taken to it, and young girls protest that It makes them look like middleaged married women. Mr Christy claims that to flatter the face the width must be near the top of the head. With his now famous special haircut tbis is possible, but meanwhile we are hovering between the upswept and the low style. The Duchess of Kent has chosen a new and individual line. While drawing her hair off her forehead in little curls, instead of the bare neckline, she often wears a cluster of ringlels reminiscent of the Charles 11. period. This has a most softening effect. Others who wish to change their stvles for different occasions are temporarily solving the problem by adopting coiffures which may be worn either high or low. With a few flicks of the comb the top curls are pulled forward on to the forehead, and the ends at tlie back, instead of being drawn to the top of the head, are caught into a soft cluster of curls at the nape of the neck, fastened with a clip or sometimes with a ribbon bow.
