New Empire Style Gets In Your Hair By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor EMPIRE HAIRSTYLES are sup posed to be the top knot news for spring. It isn't the first time. Each collection of new hairdos seems to include one that used the Empire period for inspiration. We've had psyche knots, pompa dours, poodle cuts, upsweeps, cap coifs and what-have-you. Emphasis will be on the more elegant coiffure arrangements this season, predicts one hairdressing group, Coiffures Americana, and these will suit every woman. True we never have found the era that tried to compete with Marie An toinette. But we have gone in for hairdos of splendor from time to time. Empire was a period of short and long hairdos, when a woman's hair was really glorified and Mich alon, one of the great hairdressers of all time, was vied for by all the famous beauties of the era. Hairdos suggested for this sea son are not quite so complicated, although imaginations have been given full reign and new coiffures are smoothed and shaped to today's casual living. These hairdos are easy to care for, formal enough for important dates but .easy to live with at home. There are bow-knot curls that go to the trape of the neck from the crown, bangs and curl coifs that whirl from brow to ears, waterfall arrangements that are very graceful. The new hairdos, even the shortest, are strictly feminine. Frontier Weather CHEYENNE. Wyo.
