Tho poise of the Hat.

Paris seems to be mainly concerning
itself with hats and sleeves. II is inn
possible TO say that any one shape has
things all iii own way. The blue and
green color whim is ubiquitous, but
|, favors q dozen different types of
hats-hats little and hats big. The
roise of the face is common, however,
TO all hat shapes, excepting the Louis
Quinze toque and the Louis Seize pic
ture hat, which both have brims sharp
ly turning down over the features in
front. The Partisan milliners are
most amusing over the new poise, ad-
justing the hat with the greatest de-
licacy from behind and closely watch
ing their own every movement in the
rejecting mirror. A French milliner's
handling of delicate hat is a man
ual on manipulation all ready made.
Tho new poise of the hat is not back
on the head, but up from the head.
The brim of the moment does not run
with the head, but up and away from
It; consequently the line of the fore.
head pouf of hair is left clean and un-
disturbed in silhouette and also in
the full front. A brim may, and often
does. project well forward, but it
projects at an upward angle.

II is astonishing that the women of
our country do not realize more gen.
orally the invaluable possession In
musical speaking voice, and remain
so ignorant of the comparative ease
with which such an attraction may be
acquired and cultivated.
American women spend thousands
Of dollars upon other and less cffec-
tual means of boautifying. such as cos
metlcs, massage. hair.drcsslngs and
manicuring, leaving the sense of
sound, which, as matter of fact, Is
far more potent than that of sight,
entirely out of the question.
What Is IL which really makes a
woman charming and lovable? II Is
that subtle fascination which breathes
from her personality and throbs in
the tones of her speaking voice. When
woman opens her mouth and
speaks. unconsciously--to herself and
often to the listener-the decree has
gone forth which measures the power
of her charm. The influence is I'M

Mother-o-pearl is used in many of
the newest designs in jewelry. A
novel hair ornament" was composed
of a single cyclamen bloom, the petals
carried out in mother-o-pearl which
looked wonderfully natural, just tip
ped here and there with shellpink
enamel. Pink coral also figures in the
fantastic floral designs, and a number
OF unfamiliar colored stones are
pressed into service. These are dark
blue. blood red, orange, green and pur-
pie and with the dull gold and enamel
of their settings have wondrously
rich effect. Cabochon gems are crowd
ing the gypsy settings out of the mar
kct. and the single large stones, pre-
ferably the emerald, appear in every
form, especially in rings, often en-
circled by little belt OF diamonds or
brilliants, while next to diamonds and
emeralds the most popular stone of
the moment is undoubtedly the ruby.
Jingles and charms now take the
form of diamond chicks emerging from
golden shells, golden rabbits with a
belt of diamonds or. .rubies round their
bodies or egg-shaped pendants com
posed of single precious stone.-
