easy upon Which there is a crown, but
Inc average woman is uneasy Just now
sne cannot decorate her mahogany
coiored locks with a diamond tiara, or
at least with a pair of the kind of
wings dedicated to Mercury. Never
before since we called ourselves civil
lied have we gone so absolutely daft
on the subject Of jewels. They may
be OF all colors and of every conceiy-
able shape. 1t is not only possible to
wear them in the evening, but as you
are trottlng around from one cup of
Tea 10 another you can decorate to a
degree. You can have on a marvellous
watch hanging from d most elabOTte
clasp. Five or six queer brooches can
be put here and there upon your
bodice, a string of beads may be
around your throat, and a long gold
chain may have monocle On the end.
Your gloves may hide many rings.
Your bonnet pins are thickly jeweled,
while the last chic touch is to have a
heavy velvet rosette, preferably pur
pie, deep crimson or black, on the left
side of your bodice, in the centre Of
which is q brilliant diamond button.
At night the women glitter like icicles.
/ confess they look pretty. Most beau-
tiful things in jewels are offered for
her who has the ducats whcrewith TO
buy.
For the hair there is, first Of all, the
stately tiara. The tiara is not be-
coming ornament, for it lacks c0quetry
and grace. 1t must be placed stifiy on
the head, because it suggests nothing
so much as Mrs. Yeaman's idea OF a
mixed ale party. But a pair OF Mer-
curry wings in diamonds placed on the
head OF woman who has her hair
parted "Madonnawise. on either side
of her head" makes her not only
thing of beauty but of fashion. Then,
who draws her halr, the
beautiful black hair, in smooth bands,
after the fashion of Cleo de Nerode,
there is a fiat band of diamonds worn
far forward, with q pearl pendant
framed in diamonds, which rests on
the forehead. This style of couture
REQUIRES that not only woman must
be beautiful but that she must look
like saint.
Fortunately, as women are good ac-
tresses. it is easier to look like SAINT
than to be one. Most effective of all
are the ornaments worn by the women
who arrange their hair as did little

Chrysantheme. This hair must be
mahogany colored and it is smoothly
rolled in an enormous pompadour all
around the head, while just in the
center, at the top, it IS turned in
high knot, held in place by tortoise
shell combs having diamond heads
and long gold chains that connect
them with the diamond aigrette in
front. This rests against tiny black
feather towering above the hair, gilt
tering like the stars looking down on
all the lovely little geishas in Nagas-
aki. Two women in New York wear
their hair in the fashion and look well.
One is a matron; consequently the
diamond ornaments appear in her
hair. She is. pretty Mrs. Harry Gillig,
who was formerly Miss Croker, of San
Francisco. Certainly the couture is
wonderfully becoming to her The mai
den who affects this remarkable style.
hit who appears without the diamond
ornaments, as is proper, is one OF
the beauties of the season, Miss Eff
Potter. a dashing, stylish looking girl
She stands this rather unique way of
arranging her hair very well, and as
her locks are the proper color, the
yeritable mahogany, she may be said
to have made no mistake in choosing
the manner of arranging 1t.
