the average woman is uneasy just now
if she cannot decorate her mahogany
col0red locks with diamond tiara. or
at least with pair of the kind Of wings
dedicated to Mercury Never before
since We called ourselves civilized haVe
we gone so absolutely daft ON the sub
ject Of jewels. They may be Of all cot
ors and or every conceivable shape. 1t
IS not only possible to wear them III the
evening, bat as you are trotting around
from one cup of tea to another you can
decorate to a degree. You can have ON
a marvellous watch hanging from a most
elaborate 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 Il 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 purple, deep
crimson or black, on the left side of your
bodice, in the center of which is q bril-
liant diamond button. At night the wo-
men glitter like icicles. / confess they
look pretty Most beautiful things in
Jewels are offered for her who has the
ducats wherewith to buy.
For the hair there is, first Of ALL the
stately tiara. The tiara is not a be-
coming ornament, for it lacks coquetry
and grace. 1t must be placed stiffy
on the head, because if it should get Il
little to one side it suggests nothing SO
much as Mrs. Yeaman's idea Of q mixed
ale party. But pair of Mercury wings
in diamonds placed on the head Of Il
woman who has her hair parted Ma
.lonnawise. on either side Of her head -
makes her not only thing Of beauty,
but of fashion. Then. for woman who
draws her hair, the beautiful black hair,
in smooth bands, after the fashion of
Cleo de McrOde. there is 4 fat band of
diamonds worn far forward, with a
pearl pendant framed in diamonds, which
rests on the forehead. This style of
coiffurc requires that not only woman
must be beautiful, but that she must
look like 4 saint.
HOW TO WEAR HER HAIR.
Fortunately, as women are good ac
treSScS, it is easier to look like a saint
than to be one. Most effective Of all
are the ornaments worn by the women
who arrange their hair as did little Mime.
Butterfly or the sadfaced Nine Chry-
Santhemc. This hair must be mahogl-
ny colorcd, 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 a tiny
black feather towering above the hair
glitterng like the stars looking down
on all the lovely little geishas dn Nagas-
aki. Two women in New York wfal
their hair in this fashion and look well
One IS n matron; consequently the dia
mond ornaments appear in her hair. She
is pretty Mrs. Harry GilEg, who was
formerly Miss CrOcker. of San Francis
60. Certainly the coiffure is most cor
rect, and certainly it is wonderfully be-
coming to her. The maiden who affects
this remarkable style, but who appears
without the diamond ornaments, as IS
proper. is one of the beauties Of the sea
son, Miss Eff Potter, dashing, stylish
looking girl. She stands this rather uni
que way Of arranging her hair very we'll
and as her locks arc the proper color, the
veritable mahogany. she may be said tC
have made no mistake in choosing the
manner of arranging it.
