FROM THE FOUNTAIN
HEAD OF FASHION.
EVENING COSTUMES AND HEADDREsS ARE MATTERS OF MO-
MENT TO STYLISH WOMEN.
BY Dai sy May.

'oP " ehO uCdu. riuS are the 1uOSL
used, especially jeweled ones, though
those of plain tortoise shell are pre-
ferred for day wear. Brooches and
buckles are worn with evening dress.
They are placed in front of the chignon
on bow of black velvet or colored
ribbon. This creates a pretty couture
for dinner or theater and may be worn
by young and old alike.
At the sides the hair is still very
baggy. Fringes are worn on the fore
head and are very softening to the
face. Even when the hair is turned
back in Girton style a few soft curls
are allowed to stray along the temple.
Fluffy hair suits fair women better
than 1t does dark haired ones, who
look best with their hair in plain and
shining bands.
Among the more elaborate head
dresses are those of cut jet. A novelty
which is somewhat pretentious is
formed of Grecian border, two bands
of which are caught on the left side
by knot and outstanding loop Of mo-
line. Another of iridescent beads, wo-
ven SO as to resemble cable cord, has
jetted ends and towering aigret tip
ped in jet and is provided with hair
pin, which holds it in place. A small
gauze butterfly spangled in jet is the
poised directly in front of a high and
well arranged chignon. Then there are
horseshoes twined with tulle of every
color, beaded IN crystal, with two tiny
ostrich tips placed a little to the left,
and ribbon bands with butterfly bows
mingling with marabou feathers. Very
delicate floral wreaths yelled in tulle
are dainty and becoming. Two jetted
lilies on single stem are the odd con-
ceit of Partisan manufacturer. Single
| flowers in tulle, wired and satin bound,
are mounted for use on tortoise shell
| hairpins and are intended to match in
color the gown with which they are
worn. The butterfly ornaments OF
huge proportion lie fat and have droop-
ing wings, which must set close to the
head Pearl beads interviewer with
moline are fetching for circling the
coil. The beads fall in festoons over
the hair, and an aigret usually stands
high on the left side.
Artificial flowers for evening wear
are quite the vogue. They are made
Of gauze, velvet and Grape, and as they
are single stemmed their grouping may
be in accordance with personal taste.
Foliage comes separate also, and there
is a marked tendency toward silvery
and autumn leaves rather than green.
Tiger lilies and orchids are the
favorites.
Lace Is seen on top of evening
gloves. White kid gloves are out of
date; pale shades of kid or suede are
preferred. Mittens are worn for dinner
and evening and look very quaint and
pretty. Of course the mittens must be
very rich and beautifully embroidered
and, with them, the fingers should be
covered with rings. A well fitting
glove is more becoming to the ordin-
airy hand. Only a possessor of very
pretty hands should attempt to follow
the fad for wearing mittens.
In handkerchiefs, the prettiast are
made of the finest white cambria, deli
cately embroidered by hand. Palmer
handkerchiefs, instead of being en-
broidered, are edged with tiny tucks
Colored borders are no longer consid-
cred chic. Evening handkerchiefs are
edged with lace, the finest being Ct silk
mousseline.
White stockings are again in fashion.
