NEW IN HAIR ORNAMENTS.
Becoming Trihes Made of Ribbons
That Are Now Taking the
Feminine Fancy.


Artists to the contrary, American
women declare that the Greek woman's
head was level when she combed her
hair like a frame about her face an6
bound it about with a filet or wreath.
The modern woman who is sufficiently
young and pretty to stand that mode of
decorating the hair is using a tw listed
rope of wide satin ribbon, knotted at in
tervals, all around her head, says the
Washington Star.
This arrangement enhances the grace
| of the head, but is not so universally be-
coming as the half wreaths, with the
tapering ends, which are generally worn,
or the airy arrangement, in half
wreath shape, of gauze dragon-fly wings
| with an ornament in the center.
These d~ragon-ly wings are far too
full fiedged 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. Six
| pink wings, three on each side, have
their beauty accentuated by a cluster of
apple blossoms in the center. White
wings are lovely spangied over with
small gold spangles, and have a small
rosette of white tulle in the middle,
while black gauze wings are spangled
with eithsr silver or gold and some
times have a small aigrette of gold or
silver tinsel in the center, and
times n of feathers.
Every woman has ribbon ornaments
for the hair, more or less elaborate,
according to the occasion on which they
are to be worn. Dainty rosettes of long
loops ar made of a number of loops Of
gauze ribbons, in soft eolors. The idea
in wearing so many of these ornaments
is to get a note of becoming color to the
face to offset the effect of a white gown,
for white gowns are worn morning,
noon and night now. The flush of a
pink r%osette, the glow Of a red one, the
bright CLEAN of a yellow ornament or
the warm tone of some other color lends
a brightness to the wearer of a white
frock; and the woman of taste selects
the color that will best bring out the
beauties of her complexion, the luster

bright lights in her hair.
Some of the ornaments are of num-
bers of short ends of narrow satin rib
bon, with tiny bows in the top of each
end. They are crowded together, and
give something of the effect of a clus-
ter 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 a
novelty and is pretty, too. Besides, it
makes the loops stand out as they would
not do without the knot.
These Topped effects are newer, but
scarcely popular than The .-cral
effects, where the green cup c. 4 rose
is used to hold the fold of a bit of satin
that represents indiscriminately the bud
Of a red rose or a blue one. These buds
are wired, and narrow ribbon is loosely
twisted about the wire, giving a care
less and graceful appearance to the or
nament.
A fad of the day is for flower effects
where several small loops of narrow rib
hon are gathered on the tips of ribbon
ends and are 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 eff
feet 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 s%pangled with gold or sill
yer or rhinestones.
Feather aigrettes are usually deco
rated with jewels, and antique jewels
and barcttes are worn in the hair, as well
as frame buckles of rhinestones and
other jewels.
