desired form, making an exceedingly
pretty and effective decoration.

stitched and embroidered, and decorated
with diamond shaped and square blocks OF
linen, hem stitched on in geometric patterns
OF various kinds, and bordered by frills
hem stitched and vandy ked on the edges

1t is fancy to make the heavy train:
and corsage of evening dresses of plain
dark plush or velvet ia a color which con-
trasts sharply with the rest of the costume.
For instance. a train of plain black velvet
has skirt front and corsage OF white vel
vet brocade. Titan red ve.vet is used with
pale lemon-tinted em5oidered satin, and
dark blue velvet with plush OF pale rose
color.
For Young men the surtout overcoat is
considered the most stylish. The double
breasted oversack is always in use. bnt IS
not considered as dressy as the fly front
siDgle-breasted garment. The overcoats oi
this season are cut Of medium length. with
small lap in front, closing high and well
shaped TO the figure. They are usually
faced with silk 10 the front. or ss far as the
lapel seam. Bright colored or fancy sleeve
Innings are row passe.
"The fashions in couture for the coming
seasons are the same as those last season,
with the exception of the revival of the
French twist. The old torn was trying on
sharp features, being too severely simple,
Dut this new reviva! is modified by the ad
dition OF loops of loose coils and fiat curls
For young ladies' receptions or evenings,
the hair is drawn high on the head In loose
bands and then coiled in smooth, fiat forms
on the crown OF the head. For matrons
the coils are. pinned midway between crown
and neck"
"The 'Dejazet' couture is composed OF
two waved bandeaus, which are generally
false. The back hair is taken up in the
back in Chinese fashion and tied rather
high; it is then divided into three parts,
each of which forms kind of bow, and is
separately fastened through the center by
shell pin
I'm the 'Manola' style the hair is divided
horizontally into two parts. The upper is
Tied tight and then divided to form pufs,
which are arranged in a wreath around the
head, the upper pufs showing from the
front. The lower division of hair is braid
ed and coiled in the center of the wreath.
"The Empire couture consists of false
waved bandesus. The back ferns puffs
and small twists of hair, with low combs
placed in the center of the head and ON
either side of the back.
Another style forms two loops in front
into small twisted pieces which cover The
whole back part OF the head.
almost all women can wear these Sigh
coiffures, the plain loose coil wound high
about the head being especially becoming,
with short neck fringe; but few under
stand the art OF coiling the hair. Some
twist it up very tightly, then brush it Wig
orously, and finally coil it as tight as pos
sible. Others carelessly turn it around
once or twice and then arrange
il. The effect of both is bad
Brush the hair thoroughly, gradually rails
ing it as high IS desired, and then, holding
ii firmly to the head with one hand, quickly
coil it moderately tight with the other, be-
ginning to pin with the nrst coil.
"Although the low Grecian coil is try
ing and unbecoming to most faces, giving
the appearance, generally, Of being in un-
dress, j, will be as popular as ever with the
fortunate possessors OF small, regular fea
lures, gracefully sloping necks, or finely
shaped heads. Those in possession OF high
foreheads, large or angular features, and
what is generally termed long heads will
do well to adopt the ascent.
"There is no evidence in the latest au.
thorized fashion reports of curtailing the
bang. 1t has proved too great boon and
to be discarded a. the first faint
dictate of fashion. Faces elmost repulsive
in their severe outline are softened, abbre-
Waited and rendered pleasing and attrac-
tive by this ornament, which conceals SO
many high foreheads and thin temples, and
modiies other obnoxiously positive fea-
lures.
