Artists to the contrary, American
women declare that the Greek wom-
ans head was level when she combed
her hair like a frame about her face
and bound it about with u filet or
wreath The modern woman who is
sufficiently young and pretty to stand
that mode of decorating the hair is
using a twisted rope of wide satin rib
bon, knotted at intervals, all around
her head.
This arrangement enhances the
grace of the head but is not so uni
versally becoming as the half wreaths,
with the tapering ends, which are
generally worn, or the more airy ar
rangement, in half-wreath shape, of
gauze dragon-fy wings with an orna-
ment in the center.
These dragon-fiy wings are far too
full-hedged for "a dragon fly for they
stretch their gauZy lengths for several
inches long each side of the wire
frame of the curve which they follow.

over with small gold sDangles, and
have a small rosette of white tulle
in the middle, while black gauze wings
are spangled with either silver or gold

according to the occasion on whien
they are to be worn. Dainty rosetteS
of long loops are made of a number of
loops of gauze ribbon, in soft colofs.
The idea in wearing so many or these
ornaments is to get note OF becom-
ing color 20 the face to offset the ef-
feet of a white gown, for white gowns
are worn morning, noon and night
now. The flush of a pink rosette, the
glow of a red one, the bright CLEAN or
a yellow ornament or the warm tone
of some other color, lends a bright
ness to the wearer of white frock;
and the woman of taste selects the
color that will best bring out the
beauties of her complexion. the luster
and tint Of her eyes and the warm or
bright lights in her hair.
Some of the ornaments are OF num-

ribbon with tiny bows in the top of
each end They are crowded to-
gether, and give something of the eff
feet of a cluster of fragile flowers and
something of that of little butterflies.
Another ornament has loops of mar
row ribbon tied in a knot in the tip
of each loop. This has the effect OF
q novelty and is pretty, too. Besides.
1t makes the loops stand out as they
Mould not do without the knot.
These looped effects are newer, but
scarcely more popular than the floral
effects, where the green cup of a rose
is used to hold the fold of a bit Of
satin that represents indiscriminately
the bud of a red rose or blue one.
These buds are wired, and narrow rib
bon is loosely twisted about the wire.
giving a careless and graceful appear
ance to the ornament.
A fad of the day is for flower eff
fects where several small loops of mar
row ribbon are gathered on the tips
of ribbon ends and fitted into a green
rose cup, where the ends of the loops
join. each other. Some of these little
loops are knotted in the middle, and as
little like flowers as these loops are,
the effect is of flowers with a little air
of originality and lightness which,, the
solid satin flowers of last season did
not possess.
Large roses and half-blown buds of
the solid satin flowers are in vogue, to
nestle among curling locks, and these
are usually spangled with gold or sill
yer or rhinestones.
Feather aigrettes are usually decora-
ted with jewels, and ANTIQUE jewels
and barettes are worn in the hair. as
well as frame buckles of rhinestones
and other jewels.
