prettiness; the same pretty cereessness.
The same avoidance of sameness; the same
freedom from doing the same things other
people do merely for the sake OF doing the
same. No. One draws her hair back
plainly; No, Two has crlmps No. Three
has a few pulfs rising at the top; No Four
has this; No Five has that, etc, etc. There
are some things, however, tn At none Of the
above named numbers, nor any unnamed
numbers, can do. Through every phrase
there must be moderation, and the one
thing to be done IS not to do too much. BY
moderation mean especially moderate
quantity of hair; better not enough than
svperauity. Then, again, in the case OF
the lady who draws her hair back plainly,
it is understood that some sort of over
shadowing fringe rests in fringe-lke fash
ion on her forehead In some manner or
form there must be some wayy, broken
outline over the brow, and here lavoritc
device for those who do not wish to wear
false fronts nor to hackle their own front
hair into fragments, is. the circle Of scallops
as fashionable now as ever. BY far the
greater number prefer the low coil at the
back, from which occasionally two OF three
short Curls may stragge. A flower or
two appended is now and then seen, but
tastes run towards some shell, gilt, jet, or
silver ornament The huge harpin catch

a blossom, butterfly, perhaps anything

JEwELRY.
Ia jewelry similar ideas prevail No
longer formal sets" but trihes set here,
there, anywhere, catching folds OF lace at
random, or placed at the throat in finish to
tue linen collar that barely peeps above the
dress One of the most becoming Of ideas,
nevertheless, is linen collar, and one en-
tirely out of keeping with the graceful
sottness belonging instlntively TO woman.
Happily the fashionableness of lace pre-
vents it as a necessity, and for pinning lace
scarfs in the easy ways prevailing at pres
ent we see brooch often doing duty
without reference to the set of
which it may be part. Not of
necessity worn At the throat, as Of
yore, but on the soulder, at the waist
or elsewhere on the corsage, as fancy may
incline. Earrings, if worn, are small and
close to the ear, but Fashion cares little for
earrings and usually they are ignored save
in case Of large pearl or diamond.
EVENING COSTUMES.
An evening costume of pale green plush
and satir in Lord & Taylor's famous bay
window reveals the fact that both these
materials are used for full dress, convic-
ton that is strengthened by the sight in an
inner ssnctum of a superb toilette where
the front breadth of delicate blue satin
serves as a foundation to large velvet
leaves of deep shaded brown put an at
intervals. The back is princess with fow-
ing train of rich brocade where Ieaty col
umns in dark brown traverse q ground

and short sleeves. An exquisite costume
being made for Emily Winant was of
white silk having the new broad rep com,
bined with gorgeous velvet applique on
white surface. Another dress was Of ruby
velvet plain and brocade, while one yet
handsomer was plain ruby velvet with
draperes of wide point lace, The mo-
mentous question Of "necks" is settled in
the most satisfactory way by allowing diff
ferent ways, Square low, Pompadour,
