Latest Ideas in Hairdressing.
By Dorotny Dale.
Notwithstanding the decree that the
pompadour was out of fashion, it is still
much worn, and by women who are no
ticeably smartly gowned and well groomed,
o although the fashion columns talk oi
the coronet braid, and the parted coiffure,
and other vagaries of the hairdresser's art,
the pompadour still reigns after four years
or more of popularity.
Still, for women to whom the more se
vere styles of hairdressing are becoming,
they are undoubtedly very desirable, and
the new styles where the hair is putted
only at the sides and Is worn rather flat
method.
The hair was first divided from ear to
ear across the head. The front part was
then brushed forward and then back and
wet quite thoroughly with slightly warm
water. Then take the hands and smooth
the hair back quite tight, then without
moving the fingers, push it slowly for
ward until It stands up in even waves
across the top of the head. This may
sound difficult, but it is easily done with
a little practice, and after a few times
the hair will fail into waves with very
little trouble. Wire hair pins are placed

on top of the head, or parted in the mid
dle and softly waved and rolled at the
sides, are decidedly to be recommended.
The pompadour, when it is worn, is not
of the huge proportions seen a year or
two ago, and the ugly fashion of wearing
a sort of upholstered puff, with the hair
down over the right eye, is now fortunate
ly seldom seen.
The "Marcel Wave" has done much for
artistic results as to hairdressing. and sur
prisingly natural looking coiffures are
achieved by this artificial method of wav
ing the hair. Of course to have the hail
curled !n this way It is necessary to make
rather frequent trips to the hairdresser,
but for those who cannot afford this meth
od, or for whom it would not be conven
feut, a secret I learned from a prominent
New York hairdresser may be of service.
In the first place, this hairdresser told me
that hair which bad even the least ten
dency to curl naturally should never be
artificially waved- To use heated irons to
curl bair which had even the slightest
natural wave, would, she said, very soon
cause the hair to become straight The
method she used in cases of this kind was
a very simple one, and only required a
lirtle time each night before retiring.
Even straight hair she said could be
icsde to wave with a ilttle care by this
across the head in rows to keep the waves
in place, and if this Is done on retiring at
night, the hair will dry into shape by
morning.
At first it will be necessary to do this
every night, but after the first three or
four weeks, the hair will stay in shape
much longer and a bi-weekly or weekly
treatment will be sufficient.
The back of the head can be waved in
the same, way, and one has the satisfac
tion of knowing that one's hair Is not be
ing ruined by being burned with hot irons.
The illustration showing the back view
of the head, which accompanies this article,
shows the fashionable "Marcel Wave" coif
fure, the hair being waved all around and
having the ends done in a double coil at
the top of the head.
With this style of hairdressing, combs
are a necessity to keep the hair in place,
and as a rule a top or pompadour comb,
two side combs and a back comb are
used. In the drawing a small clasp pin
is also used just above the nape of the
neck, to keep the short locks in place.
The subject of hair combs would almost
fill a column or so of description alone,
they are so distinct and Important a fea
ture of the present styles in hairdressing.
Fancy combs are much in vogue, and one
sees side combs and back combs of gold,
studded with rbinestones or pearls, cut
jet. jeweled sliver and tortoise shell,
carved Ivory and amber. For ordinary
use the tortoise shell or imitation shell
combs are very much liked, one popular
style showing rather large knobs of oval
shape set closely together in a row across
the top.
The gold mounted combs, showing a
plain beaded band of gold, mounted on the
top of the shell, are also much in vogue
and for evening wear the jeweled and rhine
stone studded combs are very much the
mode. There is one Btyle, however, that
it is advisable to beware of. that is the
fashion of wearing white combs, which are
most inartistic, unless used in perfectly
white hair.
Many of the styles of hair arrangement
on view at the leading hairdressers show
artificial curls, and false braids used in
conjunction with twists of the natural
hair, but unless one is absolutely forced
to use false locks, it is much better taste
and much more desirable to do without.
Some women, unfortunately, have such
very thin heads of hair that they ai"e
forced to use a certain amount of false
hair, but as a general rule, even rather
scanty locks can be cleverly and grace
fully arranged without resorting to sucn
devices.
It is a well known fact that it is an
easier matter to "do" a head of hair where
the hair is not very heavy, than it is to
manage luxuriant locks.
The coronet braid, however, which has
already been referred to as one of the
new styles, is where the woman with a
heavy suite of hair is to be envied, as If
this style is chosen, it almost always re
quires a switch or two, unless the natural
hair is unusually long and thick.
To "do" this style of coiffure, the pom
padour or front hair is arranged separate
ly, the back baix being braided in
two wide braids, which are crossed in the
back and drawn around the sides of the
head, being pinned under the pompadour,
the ends being slipped under the braids at
the top. -
In some cases this braid is made to
stand up acros3 the top of the bead, the
space behind-, being filled in with puffs or
loose coils of hair.
For women whose hair is not over lux
uriant, this style of coiffure is made by
adding a false braid, the natural hair be
ing used to make the puff about the head
and to form the coils at the top.
The fashion of dressing the hair low on
the neck is not so much in evidence as
formerly, the most modish effects being
gained by having the hair drawn loosely
up from the back of the head, with the
hair coiled rather flatly on the top, not too
far back.
The fashion of parting the hair and
waving it in a twist at the sides just
above the ears is another style illustrated
among the drawings, and Is a very youth
ful and pretty arrangement, when it is
becoming.
The very young girls wea-r their hair
In a loosely waved pompadour or with
the front hair parted and coiled, as just
described, the back being braided and
looped up and tied with a large ribbon
bow. In some cases two bows are used,
one at the neck and another at the top of
the head.

o
Bread Pudding.
Thin slices of bread and butter, plenty
of currants, sugar to taste and half a
pint of milk. Butter a dish and cover
bottom with slices of bread and butter:
sprinkle a little sugar and some currants,
then another layer of bread with sugar
and currants as before, and so on till the
dish Is half full. Then pour in the milk
and bake for an hour. This is a splendid
way of using up stale bread. It may be
made one day very milky, another very
dry. This dish lends itself to all sorts
of varieties and need never be made two
days exactly alike.
Decorations for tke Living Room.
By Beatrice Carey.
A living room, or sitting room, as It
used to be called, is one of the easiest
rooms to furnish successfully, while prob
ably one of the most difficult rooms to
gain satisfactory results with is the draw
ing room or parlor.
This latter subject will, however, be
treated of in another article, and the sub
ject of living room furnishings will betaken
up today. Ideas for wall treatments are
undergoing constant changes and every
season brings some charming novelties
among both the Imported and domestic
papers and wall hangings. For the living
room many well known decorators are us
ing plain cartridge or fabric paper for the
lower portion of the wall, with one of the
new art friezes above. One delightful
room which showed this treatment was re
cently seen in a country house, bookcases
extending about two-thirds of the way up
the side walls were built in and were
placed almost entirely around three sides
of the room, between the spaces allotted to
the windows and doors, so that there was
very little wall covering seen except for a
short space above the line of the woodwork
The upper portion of the walls showed a
decorative frieze, with figures of the muses
in a sort of procession, in a very clever
imitation of mural painting. The lower
walls were done In a soft light brown,
the frieze being in various blended color
ings. The living room Illustrated is of less
formal character, and shows a less expen
sive treatment. In this case the side walls
were papered with one of the cretonne pa
pers In a flowered design, with a plain
light green cartridge paper above, the di
vision being hidden by a wooden molding
or rail. In the room from which the
sketch was taken, the woodwork was all
in white enamel, the chairs being of wick-
er, green stained wood and mahogany.
sj&j fy -hoccD
Window seats which filled in the ends of
the room on each side of the fireplace
were a very attractive feature. They were
of wood, painted white, and were cush
ioned in green. The hangings at the
windows were also in green and were
draped over a second set of sash curtains of
white net and lace. There was a large center
table of mahogany, on which were writing
materials, a large lamp with a glass shade
and some books. Several palms and other
plants were placed about the room, and
there were a great many comfortable
chairs, a large davenport, a smaller
lounge, several tables, a double student
lamp, with red glass shades, and various
smaller furnishings in the way of mantel
ornaments, framed photographs, et cetera.
The floor was of hard wood and the rug
in the center of the room was in Persian
colorings, with a great deal of jrrecn aui
rose color.
This style of furnishing would be espec
ially good for an up-stairs living room or
for the llbrar" of a country house.
For the city house, where the living
room on the first floor, the woodwork is
usually in some dark wood, the furniture
being upholstered in tapestry, veldurs or
leather, and the hangings at the windows
and doorways being of brocade or velvet.
Very good results in certain rooms are also
obtained with hangings of art cottons, or
of silk and linen woven in brocade pat
terns. One thing to guard against In the fur
nishing of such a room, is not to have the
furnishings stiff or formal. Have an open
fire If possible, and see that there are
plenty of comfortable cbalrs and a couch,
a desk or table with writing conveniences
and a good reading lamp or two.
