The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-06

mendable toilet has q group of three
small 1ounces near the bottom, but
band of bullion embroidery on the mauve
crepe de chine foundation goes circling
the skirt clear UP to the belt, followed
In It's path by graduated ruff1e Of silk
muslin. Now certainly what is proper
for the ball dress is adaptable to the cos
tune of other occasions, and it is safe to
anticipate the rising tide Of skirt trim
nIings for the autumn.
1t is of considerable Importance to men,
ton that a twisted eight is no longer
an accepted mode of hair dressing, and
that for the popular couture a not too
luxuriant head of dark brown hair with
high reddish lights in it is much easier
to manipulate and more effective when
pinned in place than any other type. For
the evening all lengths Of tress is gather
ed up on top of the head and there fold
ed in small outstanding knot. From
crown to nape a clean sweep of even hair
should round oUt the back of the head,
with no coquettish tendrils on the neck,
and in front n slight pompadour with
just a few short rings OIL the forehead
is allowed. Sometimes q string of pearls,
wreath of small green artificial leaves,
or a Whit of black tulle clasps the base
of the small knot Of hair, but the wired
satin Louis XVI. bows and nodding al
grettes are not longer In use. The dia-
mond crowned tucking comb is conspicu-
Gus by Its absence, and the only comb
now used is thrust in the back hair by
day to act as a support for the rear brim
of the wearer's hat. The couture for
the daytime is the Greek COIL a flattened
out Psyche knot or three puffs rising in
front, No one but an eccentric woman
pins her locks at the back Of her head,
for the hat we wear at present simply
demands good cushion Of hair inside its
crown and strong pins to hold 1t in place,
since the burden Of the trimming rests
on the crown.
A cream wheat straw bearing no
other decoration than a crown made COM
pletely Of mixed mauve and blue hydran-
gea heads. is among the most captivating
manifestations Of the moment, and one
of the whims of the hour is to adopt sun
dry graceful draperies for the head of an
evening. Any pieces of good old lace are
wrought into what In another period of
fashion was called a fascinator, a thing
between kerchief and hood, with lap
pets that fasten under the chin. If lace
is not procurable then liberty silk in a
faint GLACIER blue will do, and amid the
silken folds blush rose Is fastened and
another blooms under the chin.
Through all this summer weather the
women have as rule chung with amaz-
Ing fidelity to their gloves, for it is not
against mustered fingers and callouSed
palms that the average girl has found 1t
necessary to protect herself, but against
the indelible freckle. There is no science
that yet explains why a freckle on the
back Of woman's hand takes just twice
as long to bleach out as one on her nose
or cheek, but any woman who knows the
vigor and long life Of hand freckle will
refuse to move from the house without
gloves. Big gloves that make no vain
show Of fitting the fingers seem to be the
cherished comfort of feminine existence
for every hour save when dinner or a
dance Is In progress. Early In the sea.
