THE SCULPTURED COIFFURE
Hath at the present time is treated a good deal like a fabric. It is cut, divided into sections, draped in a great variety of ways, and molded and twisted, into ar- rangement's" composed or calls and clustered "sculptural" curls, which might be called ornament.
In the hands of professionals it lends itselt so readily to mani- pulations of this kind that one wonders that such casual, amateurish styles were ever ac- cepted by well-dressed women as those which they wore in the 1890's and, indeed, for many years subsequent to that decade, when the cult-of naturalism was ram- pant.
BEAUTY IS ARTIFICE

THREE CONSIDERATIONS
When these preliminaries have been completed, three considera- Lions must be weighed in deter- mining a coiffure.
1. The present style of hair- dressing.
2. The emphasis of the good points in a lace and the conceal- ment of the poorer-ones
3. The individuality of the wearer, both in re ation to her manner and occupations and, in relation to the clothes she will be likely to select t

DIFFERENT AREAS
After the partings have been ald in, the hair, at strategic post- tions, is divided into very small. strands and these are colled into small, rigid curls. The strategic position for the forward move-- ment may be the forehead where the curls will be formed into a "bag" or into a fringe, or into, a circlet. The upward movement may be expressed by a rów "of sculptured curls laid in on a level with the top of the ears, or one which ascends from the ears to the crown or a more lofty top- knot. These areas of curla āres united by soft finger waves.

que, it must be remembered that it is only a technique, a method. used for producing certain effects, which, after the hair is brushed out loosely, obliterate the means by which the results have been obtained.
