In the Mirror

OMEN are not growing their hair, nor have they any intention of doing so, in spite of many rumours to this effect. That our hair is longer than it used to be is quite true. Our more feminine fashions demand softer coiffures. One of the smartest cuts is to have a not too close trim at the back, and the sides allowed to grow almost to he line of the jaw. Thus the pretty outline of a head is retained and the sides are curled to’ frame the face softly. Curls, in fact, are more popular than ever. They do much to soften the face, especially at evening, More and more are hairdressers inclined to water waving. If they detect the slightest suspicion of a wave on a client’s head they. will earnestly entreat her not to have the irons on it. For an hour or more they will pinch and coax a wave, and then, like true artists, step back and admire their handiwork. And well they might, for an ironed wave is not to be compared with the softness of a finger wave, The side parting still remains the most fashionable, doubtless because it suits the majority of faces, and is more youthful than a middle parting. It sivés width to a too-thin face. But if, as in many instances, your hair is inclined to grow far back on the temple, it is wiser to have the parting nearer the middle.
