of almost invisible silver WIRE and glis-
tening with little diamond drops
The headdress adopted by Mrs. Brown
Potter in the play of 'Francillon," now
being presented in London, is really fas-
chatting, and would be appropriate as
theater coiffure for society women. 1t is
easily managed, the hair after being part
ed on one side is pulled exaggeratedly
over the right ear, and very little over
the left. 1t is then decorated on the left
side with a huge bunch of violets, saucily
fastened in upside down. "a yellow chry-
santhemum or bunch of scarlet peoples
would be irresistible so arranged in raven
black hair) The back of the hair is dress
ed either in fiat coils or English bun A
'round-cofsb" set with diamonds spans
the top of the head, another diamond-set
slide comb catches up the wayward scold
locks and smaller comb, also aglitter
with the precious gems CLEANS from
among the stems Of the flowers. The eff
feet is bewitching. Young girls will wear
flowers, but no jewelry, in their hair, the
prettiest couture for debutanes being
small punches of snow drops or lilies of
the valley, with loose bands of satin baby
ribbon connecting them. Exquisite coro-
nets are OF crush roses, forget me-nots,
daisies or violets. The flowers used In the
couture are artificial, but so perfect that
they are almost works of art
pale gray gown seen at a recent gath
ering, says the Philadelphia Times Is
worthy of mention. The bodice was cut
low, opening over a guimpe of white ohjf-
fon deliberately made of shirred tucks.
The sleeves were of the same material
the tucks running around the arm. a
double frill finishing off the wristband
FROM the throat hung a small soft bow
caught with "a rhinestone buckle, another
appearing at the opening of the gown
The collar came from far over the Shout
ders and was trimmed with an ara besoue
of gray velvet edged with steel the same
trimming extending across the front and
down the opening at the side whence
passing under the belt, it continued down
to the skirt, celebrating into scroll-lik
pattern at the bottom and passing around
the small train at the back Tiny steel
buttons were employed, four upon the
waist and two upon the skirt The hat
was of velvet trimmed with chiffon and
lace, and vaunted a black and white
feather.
A purple velvet gown was very beauti-
full. The skirt was very plain and sweep
ing. The coat was made with the stylish
blouse effect, the girdle being Of purple
amethysts set in dull gold. The entire
surface of the coat was braided with mar
row black satin ribbon, and the broad rev.
ers were of ermine, as was the ruf1led col
lar, lined with full ruffies of pale yellow
lace, which also hung down in jabot in
the front The hat was of soft velvet
with black and white feathers. A slate
colored gown had bow knots of ribbon
appliqued all over it, edged with small
iridescent green beads Ruffles OF green
velvet edged with the green trimmed the
skirt. The waist opened over a gulmpe
or slate-colored chiffon; the sleeves were
of the cloth and the collar of velvet. From
the left shoulder and from the waist hung
chiffon scarfs edged with the green bead
ing. The hat was a Tam o Shanter,
crown of gray the feathers were of the
same color and the algrette and soft ro-
settles gave the touch Of green necessary
to complete the chic costume.
