Guilty of arranging the eccentric couture,
Parisiennes now smile upon the Louis
Quinze fashion, which is simpler and
much easier to evolve than that named
after Marie Antoinette's daughter. The
hair is brushed to the top of the head,
the Knot being carried far enough to go
under the crown of the hat, which is
now made sufficiently high to contain it,
a natural effort at adjustment which
might nave been expected. With this
mode the hair is undulated or waved all
around as heretofore, and drawn in a
small knot to the very top of the head,
behind which a narrow Spanish comb IS
placed. The ears are quite uncovered,
but the waves of the hair fail loose
enough to fill the space behind them. A
small fringe may be worm on each side
of the forehead. The evening coiffure
differs but little from that of the morn
ing, except by the addition of an orna-
ment which, owing to the simplicity of
this arrangement. must be small. Dia-
monds, set in delicate sprays, in stars or
butterflies on tremulous wires, an aigrette
or a single flower, with foliage, are placed
in front of the knot. Heavy coronets are
not worn.

The white hand of a lady, if it is be-
hinged. is pretty sure to display a tur-
quoise set in silver or gold, just now.
There is quite a demand for these gems,
not only for finger-rings (and no stone
seems to set off the whiteness of the com
plexion as does the robins egg colored
stone) but for earrings, as studs and as
slides in the long gold muff-chains and
watch chains.
Turquoises are set in the fiat heads of
bonnet, pins. The stones are often sur
FOUNDED with brilliants when set for ear
rings. Turquoise is often SET in the tiny
gold pins used to fasten a baby's bib or
or on shoulder-knot pins.
Pearls and turquoises are the only jew
els ever worn by little children. and as
the pearl is a gem, properly speaking, and
not a jewel "a distinction observed by
dealers in precious stones, it may be
said that the turquoise is the only one
used.
Gloves for this season are the suedes or
soft-fnished ones, says the "Woman's
Home Companion For street wear they
are pique-stitched. and the most stylish
have but one button or clasp and invar-
iably match the color of the gown, gloves
of a contrasting color being no longer re-
garded as in good taste. Evening gloves
grow longer as the days grow shorter,
of them measuring one yard and a
half from the finger tips to the top.
They will be worn more wrinkles than
for some time past. Some few are lace
trimmed, others daintily embroidered. but
the majority have plain Notwithstanding
in silk to match the color of the glove, or
perhaps one shade darker.
The engaged girl now makes her lover a
sachet from her glove. A delicate pearl

1t is not altogether a fondhlss for
chrysanthemums that makes yellow the
favorite color for bridesmaids wear this
season. 8 Yellow, yellow and white are
commonly used, but at a gay wedding
in the middle of the week the bridesmaids
wore yellow and gray successfully COM
bined. The large picture hats were of
pale gray velvet, decorated with a scarf
Of shining yellow silk and nodding
punches of curly gray ostrich plumes.
The costume was ensuite. and it goes
without saying that the brides attendants
carried bouquets of crisp yellow chrysan-
themums.
Elaboration is the most marked fea-
ture of dressing this winter, and gowns
that formerly would nave only been worn
to teas or for demi-dress will appear on
the street. The only gown that win adj
here TO- the erstwhile simplicity is the
tailor5made gown, and even on these
fancy buttons of enamel. horn, bone and
pearl will play a prominent part.

The overskirt is making its way more
and more into favor with smartly dressed
women. To have a stylish effect the
foundation skirt should be narrower than
the overskirt. and they are prettier cut
