FLOWERS FOR THE HAIR

dress.
This will be a season Of flowers for
the hair, and new and charming eff
fects in the way Of wreaths and of sin
gle blossoms to tuck back of the ear
are daily shown by the smart shops.
From Paris comes the leading nov
eligible coronation wreath, made of
small ivy leaves, perfect in their imita-
ton of the real English ivy, and edged
with silver spangles like rim of dew.
Some are edged with gold. The wreaths
are made in small punches of the leaves
ending in a spray of single leaves that
fall upon the hair, as though fresh
gathered from the garden and placed
there.
Another leading novelty is the pond
lily, and this comes in all the natural
sizes and colors as well as in silver,
gold and jet spangles, with natural
colored leaves and stems. Jet Easter
lilies are also leaders in style, and
these consist of one open flower, with a
bud, AMI a green stem, with small
spray of green foliage, usually maiden
hair fern. Sometimes the lily forms
the center of a small wreath. Most
lovely are the light blue and pink lilies,
just like those that float in our ponds,
only made of spangles in the color of
the flower. The pond lily wreaths are
made with a single open flowers in
front. and partly open flowers and
buds falling away from it, all lying up
on water lily stem, with few nat
ural colored leaves between. The
leaves, of course, are dwarfed in size.
Very charming are the clusters of
small white or colored mornig glories,
set amid green leaves and ending in
small sprays. The flowers are sprin-
killed. with jeweled or spangled dew
drops and have Jewels in the center.
Du Barry wreaths are so much in
vogue that all manner of materials are
made up into Du Barry headdress.
These half wreaths are of flowers and
leaves, of plated grass. with punches
of the grass on each side of the hair;
of satin ribbon, with or without floral
effects and of plated ribbon that pass
es around the back of the hair and
ends upon each side of the head in
taunty little lunches and knots.
Laurel crowns are as popular now as
in the days of ancient Rome. These
vie in point of popularity with the
frosted leaves of holly and oak, sprin-
killed. over with the pearly mistletoe ber-
ries. Holly berries glow amid green or
frosted leaves in the Du Barry wreath,
or in the simple wreath worn in front
and not around the back Of the hair.
Little bows of red velvet, less than half
an inch In width are used to tie the
and give pretty touch of color to
them.
Pretty and fashionable ornaments for
the hair are small circles of gold or
other metal, encrusted with rhinestones
or Jewels preferably rhinestones-and
having charming wings upon the sides
like the double wings of butterflies.
These wings are formed of clipped
aigrette feathers held IN place with
edges of spanglesI i'm gold or silver, and
having fancy design worked with
1 the spangle along the outer edges.
All manner. of lovely hair ornaments
are manufactured out Of aigrettes. One
of the leading faneies is to have narrow
loop bows that turn away from a cen
trail loop or ornament and are lightly
spangled with gold, interspersed with
ends formed of short curled aigrettes
Few of them stand straight up as in
years past.
The lily and thn<ose are rivals. II
must be said in favor Of the rose that II

ness, while the lily is becoming only tc
certain types of face.
Alsatian bows, too, come In for theil
following, and so pointed, perky bows
of velvet and bows that have flower;
mixed with them. Nets appear among
the seasons novelties. with spangles
of beads and nailheads of pearls, tur'
quoises and jet. Just how popular
these may become remains to be seen
The little stray locks about the heat
are usually so becoming that only q
classic face can wear a net and lool

hair smooth and neat the net is GER

rangement of their hair.
Barets of rhinestones of the smaller
size, and of little pearls. are leading
favorites for fastening up the short
locks at the back of the head, while al
most every one wears for this purpose
small circles and square buckles OF
tortoiseshel, or its imitation.
Ornaments for the hair to match the
barets are also in vogue, and shell
combs will be worn more than ever this
tyear, an authority upon modish hair
dressing states.
Persian, japanese and Chinese hair
ornaments are likewise to be worn ir
the hair, and so are innumerabe forms
of wreaths, flowers and loops made OF
marrow widths Of daintily colored straw
ribbons, These straw ribbons have a
natural stiffness that enables them tC
keep their form, and the colortng is
lovely and soft. In addition. a sheer
quality is produced which makes them
look almost like stiff chiffon. They
are decidedly chic in appearance and
Iare combined with jeweled buckles and
iother pretty effects.-From the New
