Revived
The ancient Greek women lik- ed to dress their hair high and perhaps that is why modern beauties are adopting those styles, ** Curls are held high off the nape of the neck by coloured bands; rolled kerchiefs, or false braids.
If you want to be truly glam- ourous, you may dress your hair in pompadour fashion with a mass of small curls in back from the top of your crown to the nape of your neck. Then take a ribbon or artificial braid and wind it around your head-back of your ears and off the front pompadour. That, will keep the curls in place and look quite new and daring. Greek ladies pinned fruit or flow-
in their hair, and so you. In fact those little feather- ed birds are back in favour pro- vided the gown you wear can stand such head decoration!
