Touches OF gold on white gowns OF
ceremony are eSorisitely applied. Burn
ished and unburnis!led silver and gold
iaces and ornaments are mixed together
on many Of the s,nartest evening gowns.
Necklaces are cerrespondingly worn
where artistic gold work prevails. while
their jewelied settings are quite scattered
and subjective. These neck ornaments
are fully IS wide as necklaces OF pearls
and diamonds. and command much at
tention for their novelty.

Feminine Fads.

Artificial flowers are no longer worn
bingly or in single sprays in the hair. but
IN short garlan6s or rosettes, one on each
Kide-of the head just above the ears. The
flowers used, of course. are the small,
dainty varieties. Tiny wild roses of rib
bon are novel and effective.
The newest designs. in French printed
handkerchief are being. much used for
corset covers and collar and cuff sets.
Corset covers made of the ribbon tied
embroidered squares in plain white have
long been dainty conceit This use Of
the co!ored prints is quite new. In chill
dren.s novelties for the coming season
there are attractive designs in fairy nur-
sery series.
A leather fob in lieu of a tassel is a
novelty in umbrella handles. With box
wood the leather is black. with furze
brown.

Then wash the hair WE'LL taking that oil is left

temperature spraying the scalp afterwards with cold water
than which there is no better tonic.
Wrap the hair iii towel wringing it gently, and then
sit in the and dry it with your hands.
Do not fan it or scorch it before hot fire. Fresh

Shake it and smooth it Trail between your fingers.
Rub between palms until it is thing Of beauty
