Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1876-02-09

Nets are gradually coming in fashion
again to wear when the hair is loosely
plated or coiled at the back of the head.
These are made as general thing of soft,
woven braids, though the Figaro nets of
thick chenille of all colors are equally in
style. The invisible nets, composed of
hair and coming in all shades, so that the
nair of the wearer can be perfectly
matched-to wear over the front of the
head-are fast gaining ground as protec-
tors to crimps or frizzles, as the case may
be, taking in large measure the places of
the little mask wells worn heretofore for
this purpose.
For ball and evening coiffures, feathers
are popular, especially white and creme
ones; also, very pale tlnts OF blue, mauvc
and rose; these are used both with and
without lace. High combs are now placed
| much on one side, instead OF straight in
the center Of the back of the head. Among
the novelties In hoods and other evening
wraps for the head, are white zephyr ones,
embroidered in silks of all colors; also,
capulets of ecru Spanish blond lace, form.
| ing sort Of hood, and finished with bows
of black velvet and those of black blond
Trimmed with cardinal ribbons. Black
| lace is rarely used for millinery purposes,
| but the white and creme assist with gold,
silver and steel braids and buckles, to
| further embellish the ieather-covered hats
| and bonnets of the season. Capotes are
| the very newest models in honnets, and
| show, in very diminutive form it is true,
| the anticipated curtains; these revived APP
! pendages, while not yet popular, are re-
ceivcd by the elegantes Of Paris, and ii is
| thought will grow larger when they are
| more commonly worn. In illustration of
the curlained capotes was seen aa i'm

| composed of ecru faille lined with the
green, with small double green ruching
| and green torsade that grew under to-
ward the center, where there was hand
some green bow with four loops held by ii
| silver buckle. The crown was Of pulled
| ocrG taille, and the space between 1t and
1 the brim filled IL with Il wreath OF large
| velvet leaves; the ecru curtain was edged
| with a ruching falling over green bow.
Hints for spring wraps are gained in
the new clOaks, which fail 10 show short
backs and long points, but are invariably
| long ana round. y stylish model, recent

| six inches below the waist over the tour

the skirt unite is placed wide ribbon
sash, which, fastened on either side, ties
