the jeweled nets are all ancestors OF the
modern pins, tiaras and ornaments.
Some women made a fad of collecting
these hairpins. Lilii Lehman and Emma
piete assortment of these useful and decora-
tive articles. Then, what can a woman
accomplish with an ordinary wire hairpin
AS glove buttoner 1t is Indispensable; TO
be sure, it is not always success, but on
a pinch 1t works pretty well. The orna-
ments to be worn in the hair during the
coming season are the most stunning things
seen for long time Jewelry is fairly hung
all over the body, and the hair does not
escape. OF course. the coronation brought
ali kinds of coronets into evidence. Wo-
men with and without right to put the
stra wberry on their coronets wore 1t in fuH
view.
For the woman who cannot afford these
extravagant fancieS many simpler ones are
shown. Particularly charming is a coronef
of delicate green enamel mafdenhair fern
showered with gold or some light green rose
leaves. with few diamonds sprinkled here
and there. Lilies of the valley, light-colored
roses and foliage are lovely made up in
jewels. There are sets of combs and pins
in tortoise shell inlaid with turquoise and
others in a peacock design The Mercury
wings, although not new, are very much
worn. and are becoming to almost every
one If arranged to suit the individual face
A rose or japonica tucked coquettishly In
the hair is effective Then there are half
Wreat this of artificial flowers and bows of
chiffon. ribbon and gauZe for less dressy
occasions. Jeweied aigrets and feathers for
older women are becoming adjuncts to the
toilet. Tortoise shell is ever good form,
especially for wear during the day, and
many are the designs made up in this mate
rial.
All manner of tortoise shell and jet orna-
ments are displayed, while tufts of aigrets
and clusters of tiny ostrich tips, both plain
and spangled, are to be worn. Almost any
type of face or contour of head is improved
by these ornaments. Their adjustments
and every wise woman will give these little
accessories due consideration.
Becoming Hats.
AS the hair Is woman's especial thought
for indoor wear so the hat is an equally
important consideration for the street.
Nothing can make a pretty woman look
more of a fright than an unbecoming hat,
and nothing makes a plain woman come
nearer to being beauty than a becoming
one. 1t is often not safe to trust to
madame's wild rapture when trying on
hat. Almost everything expensive is, ac-
cording to her standpoint. charming, ra-
vissant, quite ones own style"
Another important thing is to get a look
at the hat from every point Of view. A hat
that suits the full face perfectly will pos
sibly make the profile ridiculous. Look at
it all round, and If a satisfactory inspec-
ton is the result be assured you have a
hat which is just the right thing.
Never be In a hurry to select a hat too
early In the season. Wait until the eX-
IRENE styles have subsided something more
refined is sure to take their place. Some Of
the demi-season affairs the English put up
are very safe for this between time They
are useful and as all round hats nothing
is more of a comfort. One Of these useful
hats Is In toque shape made Of mixture
of velvet and cloth matching the walking
gown. This hat, when put together. is the
| incest thing in the way of headgear. 1t is
dressy enough for most occasions. is not
too elaborate for ordinary wear and stands
any amount of wind and weather. A pref
ty. dressy hat is one of new shade of gray
beaver, draped with gray chiffon and
bright. scarlet berries and velvet. Still an
other is beaver toque in shades of pink.
This cerise pink is the ''dernier crl'' here
In Paris. The shops are perfect gardens Of
loneliness in their bright array of colors-
silks, velvets and laces. Summer seems
with us still. judging from the light ma
terials shown both for hats and gowns.
The furs are the sole reminders of the fact
that the cold weather is almost ready to
put In an appearance.
