Show I, What Coiffure Shall I Adopt? BY ELIZABETH LEE. C HERBS is no detail of greater importance im-portance In a woman's toilette than the coiffure. A woman may wear an expense expen-se c- gown, costly Jewels and a Paris ; creation in millinery, but if the hair is unbecomingly dressed the tout ensemble en-semble is bound to bo a dead failure. By this I do not mean that the hair must bo dressed in tho latest or most fashionable style. This thould only be done when it Is found to suit the wearer. It is always a good plan when a new coiffure is launched to try it in its true form, then, without entirely releasing the hair and dressing all over again, to make slight changes as suggested to one's mind from viewing the present effect supposing the mode ie found to be only half way becoming. becom-ing. Oftentimes, a little puffing hero 6r a Blight raise there will mako all the difference in the world. It may be only the question of hair drawn too tightly cither up or back, and It is easy to do this when dressing dress-ing the hair in the present style of :'closo to tho head." Again, it may be the arrangement of the back hair is at fault; the coll may be placed too high or too low. A httlo experimenting will reveal the true cause of failure. .. . Lots of patience, too, I an asset when wrestling with a now coifTure. Hair that has been trained In one direction for a long tlrno does not take kindly to changes, but needs lots of coaxing and fussing with before it will respond to one's efforts. Types of Faces. Strictly speaking, there are Just two types of faces, tho round and the oval, but there are many variations of these types, each requiring a different treatment. treat-ment. . Then is the true oval face, the square face, the hatchet shaped, the thin face, the round face, the short face, the face, too broad and the face too ffct Features, too. must bo considered. con-sidered. The forehead may bo high or low. broad or narrow. The nose P may bo only a snub, or, again It may go to tho other extreme, and bo on the aquiline or the Roman order. Perfect Types. Tho perfect oval and the perfect round face can carry successfully any style of coiffure. The hair may be dressed high or low, or be colled midway in th back between the crown Of the head and the nape or the neck with equal success The Grecian coil 18 especialy becoming becom-ing to the oval typo of face. When L the oval Is inclined to Hlondernes- thjn N - the hair must be fluffed about the face To draw it back tightly Wj bo fatal to good looks. Th. W .Jjj should be arranged In a .Z in order CO modify the slendcrncs Iace I.), the hair should be dressed low in the back. When the face ie actually square tho hair must be dressed high. This will suggest length, and creato a modified mod-ified oval. The thin, hatchet shaped face must have the hair dressed as low as possible pos-sible always. When the face is short as well as round the hair should be dressed high upon tho head. The pompadour style suits this type of face admirably, the back hair brought to the crown of tho head and pinned down there A broad face, or one unusually fat, .should have tho hair dressed as high as possiblo over tho forehead and slightly puffed at the sides, The a un e rule will apply to high cheek bones. Women having small noses may havo the hair dressed In Grecian style, the Boft knot arranged In tho back, midway between the crown of tho ' head and the nap of the neck, but any person having a receding chin or a prominent nose should avoid this i arrangement. When tho nose Is largo the hair ' should be dressed close to the head , Id the back and be fluffed about the face. With a receding chin It is quite i clear that it will be a mistake to 1 draw tho hair tightly back or awa from the lower part of tho face, because be-cause this only emphasises the defect. de-fect. The hair should bo arranged, broad and loosely well In tho nape of I the neck.
