Costumes.
The latest fancy in hair dressing is
to part the hair over the middle of the
head, brush it to either side, crimp it
in deep waves and leave an infantile
fringe across the forehead. This is
revival of a style that has probably
been favored for more years than any
other ever introduced. 1t is the most
natural, simple and becoming, and,
unless ones own tresses are exceed
ingly obstinate, the easiest to manage.
OF course, the hair dresser will have to
supply something in the way OF front
with parting This has been found
the most difficult of undertakings, and
the troublesomeness of arranging it
has had much to do with keeping the
pompadour, bang and similar styles in
general use.
The black Neapolitan is still in evil
dence and is one of the favorite hats
for real service. 1t is trimmed with
flowers, plumes or lace, or mixture
of the three. Stiff, heavy quilts are not
appropriate for such thin foundation
and are rarely used. Fans of lace, soft
flowers and light plumes are much
more suitable. Silk flowers are the
favorites for the moment and are used
with a lavishness that seems prodigal.
They are. however, so pretty and sum-
mery-looking that one can scarcely
object to the quantities.
Tourists and others who are likely
to find themselves in localities where
laundry work is unsatisfactory or i'm
possible to obtain are making under
wear out of Japanese crepe. A hand
basin and a cake of toilet soap are all
that is required to enable my lady to
do up her own underwear, and this she
does at evening, putting the articles to
dry over chair, or pinning them up in
her room, where there is good circu-
lation of air.
A very handsome party dress is made
of black chiffon, accordion-plalted.
The skirt is very full. The waist is cut
low, has a blouse front and bolero
effect made by shirring the chiffon,
The sleeves are merely puffs, long
black suede gloves meeting the lower
edge of the puff. The belt is lemon
colored velvet ribbon with loops and
ends at one side.
zone objection to some of the nov
city costumes" said fastidious young
woman, sis that they look as though
they had been made of shreds and
patches. They are striped and belted
banded and cross-lined; indeed, they
make a woman look like a zebra, an
effect which it never seemed to me was
just the proper one to produce.
The fancy for colored underwear
that has existed for some time seems
to be dying out completely and pure
white is the only strictly fashionable
color now used. There are, however,
some exceedingly pretty figured per-
Gale garments that are used for trav-
cling and emergency wear.
A costume of dark blue velvet is one
of the coolest-looking dresses imag-
Unable. The body is full princess over
guimpe, which is made of silk mus
lin shirred on cords. The muslin is in
cream color and the cords are of pink,
the effect being exceedingly pretty as
well as novel.
Industrious and original-minded
young women are making cutaways
and boleros of fine broadcloth with
heavily embroidered edges. The deft-
fingered damsel of to-day can find
many uses in her wardrobe for all of
the fine stitches she is able to take.
Colored cords under thin materials
of all sorts is one of the new fancies.
A yellow guimpe is shirred over green
cords, a blue one over pink, and an
ivory waist of the sheerest silk muslin
has cords made of pansy purple velvet
