emphatic form, but Paris also has been
concerned with tho reappearance of
jewelled hair ornaments Of great size
and magnifcence. This is SO far true
that the Partisan danes have institu-
ted new style of coiffure calculated
to show off their massive combs and
tiaras to the best advantage. This
coiffure sets high on the top of the
head and forms a sort of embankment
across from ear to ear, against which
the iewelled crown may be supported.
The crown itself is made with a curved
and sometimes undulating base, that
it may lie directly across the centre of
the head.
This new and startling fashion has
only just begun to made its appear
ance in New York, but it has been ac-
companied by certain of the tiaras
which have made the new coiffure
necessary. One of these was worn by
prominent New York woman at the
opera last week. 1t was u fan shaped

dame. AS for its cost, it is probably
the most expensive hair ornament OF
the season, and its value would suffice
to buy dozens of ordinary opera out

are models of elegance, in spite of the
fact that she is not rich, gives these
suggestions in regard to the care OF
black garb.
"When donning mourning" she
says, 81 invested in half-dozen waist
frames Ia wooden band with hook,
five cents each). A waist is never laid
down or hung by loops. 1t is put on
the frame and hung on separate hook
from the skirts, SO that the puff
sleeves are in free space and shoulders
kept straight on the frame. Never
when in your room go without white
apron. This prevents the skirt being
rubbed while writing or moving
about, and after sewing on lint is to
be brushed off, and so the skirt loses
no lustre. No truly refined woman
walks the streets with skirt that
touches and fails to lift it. This tells
you all you need, to have the bottom
of the gown correspond in freshness
with the top.
