ish in tone, is horribly jaundiced BY GER
tain other blues. Blondes, should they de-
sire to wear the blue, should adopt the deep,
velyety hues, as the delicacy of their COM
plexions should be thrown into high relief
In greens the reverse is the order, the
blondes finding the lighter shades more be-
coming, although either may wear almost
the entire scale. Blondes may wear yellow
and it considered highly becoming to the
pale brunette, especially by gas light. The
secret OF yellow lies here, as we have dis
covered-yellow clears everything. Mrs.
Russell Harrison's recent appearance in
light yellow will illustrate its becomingness
to this type of beauty, the handsome bru-
nette. The golden browns or autumn
shadings are advised for the woman who
possesses the lustrous red hair.
Among the new shades are coquelicot a
very brilliant red, while pourpre and grenat
are two darker shades. Persan is beauti-
full Lavender, while Colombo is yellowish
beige. Automne is one of the new light
browns, and Skobeletf is applied to the new
green. In materials for the large hats, we
have the horsehair braid, peculiar Tor a long
time to Neapolitan manufacturers, and, also
the horsehair braid interviewer with straw
revival of a fancy of years ago. The
Milans hold their own in hats and bonnets
intended for great service.
Embroidered kid is a millinery fancy,
and among the many stylish and unique
designs produced this season, is a very small
toque, of suede kid embroidered in sutomne
brown silk. The band of kid rests upon the
hat and the supporting strips over the top,
are of the same material. 1t is trimmed at
the back with velvet bluebells held in place
with brown velvet bow, from which start
the ties.
FISH SCALES AND SILVER BEADS.
A very odd little model intended for a
blonde is merely bandeaux of pale green
velvet, over which is sewn large fish scales
and small silver beads. A pendant effect of
the fish scales and silver beads is fastened at
the bottom and rests upon the hair. The
trimming consists of a fan-shaped ornament
of fish scales and beads, aigrette of the same
and rosette of green null lace. A small
toque for a blonde has no frame, merely two
gold vines one fitting the head and the other
one being longer and brought to a point to
follow evenly the pointed bangs. A square
of gold crocheted gold is wired around the
edge with heavy gold wire, and this is bent
and draped to suit the face of the wearer,
being then attached to the wires that fit the
head. A gold snake, six feet long, with a
golden head and a small ruby eyes, is coiied,
knotted and twisted through the crown and
over the wires, with the head poised in the
air and standing erect amongst small
cluster of pansies, guarding them carefully,
as it were.
Another very odd conceit intended for
opera wear is three gold wires Joined to-
gether at the back, spreading apart at the
front and conforming to the. shape of the
head. These wires are covered with mock
emeralds and pendant emeralds and gold
beads. Sewn to the back of the upper wires
is short, curly hair falling over and partially
the emeralds. This hair must
exactly match the hair of the wearer. and
the bangs should be quite fluffy. Three
gold and emerald butterflies, on spiral
springs, are lowering in front, while large
green bow is placed upright in the back.
A dainty little touue without frame is q
large spider web of silver cord on which are
four large spiders. A bunch of pink fairy
roses is placed in front and the ties are of a
small silver cord. A handsome large hat
of black point d'esprit shirred net has the
crown and brim piece In arabesque design
of very thin white wood and fine Jet. The
consists of white wood and Jet
butterflies and velvet field daisies These
designs are strictly American. For the
greatest good to the greatest number it is to
be hoped the mourning wells of wide
black crepe-de-chine will take the place of
the heavy nuns yelling. Paramount
among the advantages that the crepe-de-
,hine has over the nuns yelling, is that the
weight Of the former is so much less than
he latter. ORA SEANEY.
