Wares and short curls about the face, and the high set Psyche knot made of finger puffs, as shown in the illustration, comprise the latest thing in hairdressing, especially for evening wear. In many instances a large circular comb is thrust into the hair as a support of the Psyche kuot, which is dressed so softly that without other security than ordinary hairpins it nould be in danger of fulting,

It is exceedingly necessary for every woman to dress her hair: according to her hats, or, what is better, to buy her hats according to her style of hairdressing. Hats that can be worn with a high- dress coiffure are utterly futile when the hair is dressed low, and though two of the greatest London milliners state that at the present time it is possible for a woman to buy a hat to suit any style of hairdressing the balance of fashionable hats is distinctly in favour of hair dressed low at the back, with "esr swathes" and side curls. Many of the new hats, especially those in the biretta style, fit ao closely down the head that all the hair to be seen consists of tiny curls pulled out beneath the edge of the hat on either side.
