DURING the hot days of summer
one seems to have a natural
longing to dlspenss with arti
ficial aids to hair dressing and to
appear with the tresses loosely and
naturally bound. Indeed, such a course
Is Imperative for the well-being of the
hair. If It Is to grow It must have no
heavy pads to steam. It. It must be al
lowed to fall In the roost natural way,
and the result will be not only comfort
able, but. If properly done, most
artistic.
Parting the hair does not mean that
it must be "flattened" on top and
"slicked" down on both , sides, making;
the unfortunate one look like a modest
and demure maiden of Puritan days.
One may be Just as swagger and Just
as massively colfled when the hair is
parted as with the mast exaggerated
pompadour. But the hair will rest and
grow thicker If. for a few weeks, mad
amo leaves out the "rat" and puffs her
halt out only on both aides. It may
then be finished with a Grecian knot In
back and be quite appropriate with the
present fashion.
When the hair Is long the braid might
be brought up again across the top of
the head, part and all; this Is a pretty
style and makes the coinurejQgecoming
to almost every one.
If preferred, there la no reason why
the hair should not be pompadoured as
usual, but without "ratting" and mar
celling. This Is not for the sake of econ
omy, but a few weeks' rest from the
Irons will give the new hair a start In
life. Surely, there could be no better
time than summer to show the hair
