it, New York shops are exhibiting it
and indeed few of Our women have
appeared in this headdress
The word "chignon' carries with it
the idea Of quantities Of false hair con-
fined in net of silk or gold thread and
hanging low on the neck. The New
York Herald gives an illustrated de-
scription Of the chignon as introduced
in New York. 1t appears to be a less
cumbersome affair than the chignons of
quarter Of century ago.
If the chignon is decreed to return, it
will hardly be within our power to
ward off the calamity. although when
this mode prevailed the physicians were
much concerned over the disorders in
duced by the heat and weight Of the
hair thus banked at the sensitive juno
tion Of the spine and the head.
Either butterfly or Louis Quinze
bowknot are the latest arrivals from
over the sea in way Of hair ornaments
As described by the authority here
quoted. these butterflies are small, large
and medium size ard come in every
color. Sometimes one large one is used
as an adjunct to the hairdressing for
evening wear, and two or three smaller
ones will be nestled here and there
among the fluffy waves Of the sides and
back Of the head Then again they are
partially hidden among the frailest of
white aigrets, upon whose delicate
quills quiver scattered diamonds or
rhinestones And still again they form
the main support Of a delicate marabout
feather
Holding it's own with the butterfly
fad is the Louis Quinze bowknot.
