has been obliged to give way to a
graceful and quite as useful substi-

white, gray or black ducks down. My
matinee friend informed me they were
worn in Paris last, and instantly be-

my. eyes don't deceive me they will
become part and parcel of every ward

about the neck, fastens under the chin
and lets fall a bib of pretty ponpons.
that resemble nothing so much as
newly fledged chickens, on the chest, or

New Way Of Doing the Hair.
my second find in the way of fash
ion was the new way the women have
of doing their hair. For the theatre
they roll it UP in pompadour in front
and draw all the back hair far forward,
TO meet the pompadour on the tip top
of the Uranium. The idea is to display
a long line over the crown 10 the nape,
and the farther forward, without ap-
pearing grotesque, that one can pin
ones hair the longer and therefore the
smarter will the rear line be. But
don't make q grievous mistake Of allow

from the neck, nor must you let tags
and uneven hairs to straggle out be-

wave give a slight ondule to the back
hair, draw it up. loosely but smoothly
and insert some short toothed combs
in the bass of the coil, in order to hold
the rear sweep of hair firm and even"
