early Victorian" is a term which
falls often from the lips of all who
have any concern with the making of
women's clothes in these days of the
dressing of women's hair. The proud
ladies' in the windows of the smart
hairdressers exhibit one OF the prettlest
of these new -old styles, and one
which may be adapted by the modern
woman to the last degree of becoming
ness. The waterfall, or "bun" in the
back is loose braid, well padded out
and placed so that it can be seen above
the crown, and just shows at the nape
of the neck when viewed from the
front. "a
The front hair is parted in the mid
die and we'll to the front on the sides
and waved. 1t is then rolled back, over
pads if necessary, and so nearly meets
on top as almost to hide the parting.

of the SOS will prove how becoming
this style may be made,E with the tip
of the ear just covered and the puff
ing so cunningly done as to obviate
the f1at-headed appearance Which might
be expected to result from the abolition
of the popular pompadeur. n Round
cut Jet pins, like large, ripe NBfackber-
ries, are used galore with this style or
hairdressing, and a side or front bow
or aigfette is Imperative The Wreaths
of rose leaves and tiny birds, forget

for full dress also look WelF with this
coiffure.
The good girl" early Victorian col
lar is Just making it's appearance, and
may be of linen, lace, Sembroidefed-
scrin or any of the new fabrics, so
long as it is actually placed on the
neckband of the dress, and fastened
with a bow of ribbon pinned invlstbly
at the point where it meets. Old pho-
tographs may be again consulted for
the right effect in these collars. If the
throat is not plump and pretty band
of velvet with a little loeket should be
worn; in fact, this is the time to wear
old-fashioned jewelry long hidden
away.
White shirtwaists take precedence
in all the shops. A newly opened case
of imported stock shows mercerized
madras linen waists very like fine

the same material, and are embro1d-

quisite new shades of gray green ana
real baby blue. The latterisis the eld-
fashioned sky blue, not pale, but true
blue" without a hint of turquoise.
BIue-eyed beauties will rejoice in this
shade, as it brings out the blue of the
eyes instead of making them look fad
eds as the greenish shades do. Tiny
dots and clear small stripes appear IN
these challies. The skirts may safely
be made up with deep hen1s, trimmed
or untrimmed, with -sloped breadths in
front and gathered in the back, as IN
the dresses little girls used to make
for their dolls. Surplice waists Will be
worn with these skirts.
The new summer silks are shown IN
scroll and other designs, but In these
also the small dot and narrow stripe
take precedence.
Mercerized canvas. taking the place
of old time Scotch gingham, is SHOWN
in plaids of all sizes. While costing 70
cents a yard, narrow width, it VIII far

ticularly suitable for summer travel

starching and does not crush easily.
An ecru ground, plaided with various
colors, is exceptionally pretty in this
material. & So
