A QUICK CHANGE! Over-fluffy curts and elaborate hair arrangements are definitely out of fashion for daytime. But the practical two-way coiffure al- lows the hair to be dressed in a close-fitting. trim style by day. and quickly changed to softly feminine lines for formal evening occasions.

A number of smart Fifth-avenue hairdressers have introduced 'a quaint Pompadour or Grecian roll elect for colures. The hair is parted in the centre and left un- waved on top.

Then, with classic Grecian sim-.. plicity, the hair is swept smoothly up and back from the brow and ears.

The ends are turned up in-

to a feathery-soft roll, or natural- looking ringlets, closely encircling the sides and back of the head.

For another version of the Pom- padour colure the hair" is parted cross-wise Just in front of the crown of the head. and the front hair is combed forward and then back. so the upturned roll extends entirely around the head.

The halo type of hair-dressing is most becoming to a young. clear-eyed face: it requires per- fect contours, so that if you are going to try it (either with your own hair or an added plait) you must look to the patting up at your jaw line. and cheeks with tente or astringent, or good tightening Jelly of cream,
