nent among women. old and young. and
nothing seems 10 l. az effective as ;hs

many variations OF It's style.

ment has yet exceeded in popularity the
pink rose. studded with jeweled dewGrCps

pale straw pink loops nearly an inch wide
upon one side % the knot. spangied with
rhineston=s and framed with a lev very

OF q great number OF narrow loops Of dif-

narrow loops. with a rhinestone buckle.
Some % these bows are mad without jew
eled effects ana some have a short feather
quill % the same color tucked IN one side
and s~pangled over its surface. The fsvorte
eolors are straw color. pink and orange
shades.
Aisatlan bows and bows Of satin ribbon.
mingled with flowers are among the hair
ornaments OF the season. while odd-locking
rolls Of white feathers. shaped exactly ike
the rats" worn under pompadours and
spargled With gold ard silver. are among
new things 20 adorn the heads OF women.
