Among the signs of spring lie the ten
fdency OF tho Modishes towards pictur-
esque hair-dressing. The artistic ar
rangement Of the hair low on the neck
has made it's appearance. and seems to
have come to stay. 1t is by far the
most advantageous method of showing
of the hair. and the many and various
styles OF coiling and braiding, or bunch.
ing in loose. soft, thick waves. make it
adaptable to all festures. and becoming
alike to the classic beauty and her els
ter OF retrousse type. This 10 certain to
be the prevailing fashion, although it
will probably be some time before the
high hsir-dressing, 90 long favored. will
entirely disappear. In this latter meth.
cd the hair 10 still rolled back from the
face. but after being rolled back il is
again pulled forward, 90 as to we'll cover
the forehead, and is divided on one side
to show bit Of the brow. The knot on
the top Of the head is percep.ibly larger
and softer than during the winter,
while the parting on the side appears to
be the accepted fad.
In arranging the hair Low on the neck
the top is left loose and wavy, well push.
ed toward the front, and often showing
the side parting. The long hair is
braided loosely and coiled on a pad to
make it look thick and heavy. The
exact position Of this coil must be regu.
lated by the features Some can stand
it uery low and long in effect, while for
others it must be but u little below mid
way between the ears. This is by far
the most graceful and artistic fashion
that has been in vogue for the hair in a
long time. To be sure, it requires
great care to produce perfect coiffure
of this sort. but Modish has to be par
ticular. and che knows we'll the value of
devotion to woman's crowning glory.
This charming broad knot serves as q
fitting support to the flower toques
which are becoming more popular
as the season advances. A white gar
deaia creation compliments auburn
hair superbly, while the paie-haired
woman delights in the brilliant hued
poppy hat. Indeed, gorgeous colors
seems to be having quite run at pres

feet is startling for an instant, but it is
astonishing how quickly We accom-
modate ourselves to the whims of
pretty woman.
Mrs. Clarence Mackay was study in
the gaudiest cerise imaginable, few
evenings ago, dining publicly with her
husband. Her hat was veritable won
der-a large. high-tilted chiffon and lace
affair, with great cerise plume curved
over the left side and falling we'll over
her dark hair. As her forehead is low,
Mrs. Mackay still wears the plainly
drawn back and not pretty pompadour,
which she has so long affected.
The beautiful black lace and net
gowns over white are growing in pop
ularity, although they really seem too
old for some Of the young women who
have recently adopted them. A very
SNOWY costume Of this description is
made of alternate rows of black and
white insertion over cream satin slip;
while another has the net garnished
with bands of wide gold braid running
lengthwise Of the skirt and dropped over
a white mousseline ACCORDION pleated
slip on taffeta foundation. This latter
effect is charming. In coats the Louis
