COIFFURES OFFERED
AMERICAN WOMEN
Hairdressers Declare Inde
pendence of Paris Fash
ions New Designs to Be
Shown Salifrday. '
Enter the Made-ln-Amerlca coiffure I
Homo-grown frocks we'vo had this year
nnd chapeaux which never saw the light
of sunny France, , nnd nono the worse
have wo been for the experience. Comes
now a strictly local stylo of hair dress
ing nn American colffuro for the Ameri
can woman, something filie has never had
before.
For long ears the American womnn
has submitted to the atrocities thrust
upon her by her foreign slslor. Uncom
plnlnlnglv sho has allowed both of her
cars to be obscured. Just because the
French woman thought she looked fetch
ing with her tresses done that way, With
out a murmur she sow her bright'. Intel
ligent forehead disappear under a tan
gled mop of hulr Just because some eccen
tric Parislenno fancied herself that way,
and American hair dressers felt they
must follow in tho path of tho French
coiffeurs.
Tho American women even permitted,
at a tlmo not so very far distant, one
eye to be lost In an Intricate process of
halrdresslng which necessitated a lock
being draped in a drunken fashion down
over the left side of tho countenance, so
that the wearer rcsmbled a frizzled Cy
clops, In her effort to follow tho foreign
style.
FREED FROM PARISIAN SHACKLES.
But tho hairdressers of America, partly
on account of the war, which has de
moralized the fertile Imaginations of the
colffuro on the other side, and partly be
causo they are beginning to feel that the
time has come to exercise their own
creatlvo nbjlity, have decided to throw
off t'no shackles of France nnd England
and to evolve a stylo which shall be
peculiarly suited to the contour of the
American woman's face.
To this end weeks and weeks of hard
and concentrated thought have been glvon
over to the subject Models, typically
American, have had their heads dressed
low nnd then have had them dressed
high. Models with retroUEse noses and
models with classical nasal appendages
have been practiced upon, and at last
a scries of styles have been decided
upon. f
On Saturday night living models will
display these newly conceived coiffures
at the Hotel Walton at the first fashion
show of American halrdressipg ever to
be held In this country. The Philadelphia
Hairdressers' Association will act as
hosts and leading coiffeurs and colffeuses
from New York, Washington, Baltimore
and Atlantic City will be present to tee
their own conceptions displayed.
POMPADOUR TO RETURN.
"Our aim," said a-leading hairdresser
here today, who will have several exhibits
In tho show, "lias been to develop an nr
tlstto style, eliminating all tho ridiculous
features which have been thrust upon us
by the foreign coiffeurs. The American
woman. It has been' found, looks best in
&' pompadour. Therefore, except In a few
instances, nearly air of the modes will
display this tendency.
"Puffs and the cunning little kiss and
love curls, which are so becoming to the
average woman, will also be shown. In
the main, tho high hair dressing- will be
favored, particularly for evening wear.
Straight hair Is out all together. It Is too
severe for the American woman's face,
and, of course, the Insanitary rat, which
resembled a mattress, is a thing of the
past. It was never a favorite with the
women on this side."
In addition to the exhibit of grown-up
models, an Interesting feature 'will be a
display by children In. (ancy, dress cos
tume of the hair dressing of 'all ages. The
kiddies will have their little, heads cdlffed
and curled within an Inch of their lives,
and historical fancy and powdered styles
will be demonstrated. ' '

ANSWER TO BRITISH'
CONTRABAND ORDER.
Gerard Instructed to Report
Text of German Decree I
Guaranteeing Food Ship
ments for Civilians.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Tho State De
partment today sought a solution of the
problem prcsentod by tho British Govern
ment's announcement yesterday that
hereafter all shipments of foodstuffs
would bo considered contraband and sub
Joct to seizure.
Tho problem or tho United Stales is
whether tho German decree, declaring
Government control over all foodstuffs
within tho emplro (upon which areatl
Britain basc3 her right to connscate them)
gives Great Britain tho right to end food
shipments to Germany, or whether tha
German guarantee of immunity from con- ,
location for food shipped for civilians"
makes such shipments proper under the
rules of war, and henco makes any Btlt
ish selzuro a violation of neutral rights,
instructions wero cabled to Ambassador
Gerard to report exhaustively upon tha
Gorman docreo. wr. uoraru win sena tna
rimnrtment tho text of tho Gorman de
cree, together with any supplementary
ordort Interpreting or modifying It. Whh
theso are received tho Stato Department
will dotormlno what action this Govern
ment can take.
No official Information of this decree
has jot been received. It Is officially
understood that Germany has declared all
foodstuffs within tho empire subject to
Government control, nnd that sho has vlr-
tually confiscated all such products.
Great Britain now holds that since all
fend sutmllcs within Germany are to bS'
held or controlled by the Government for
tho use, when necessary, of the armed
forces, all food shipments consigned to
Germany must bo considered as destined
to tho armed forces and hence classified
n contraband under tho rules of Inter
national law.
