NEW IN HAIR ORNAMENTS.
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
ha.r like frame about her face and
bound it about with filet or wreath.
The modern woman who is sufficiently
young and prettG to stand that mode Of
decorating the hair is using twisted
'ope of wide satin ribbon, knotted at in
:ervals, 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
;apering ends, which are generally worn,
Or the more airy arrangement, in half
wreath shape, of gauze dragon-fly wings
with an ornament in the center.
These dragon-fy wings are far too
:ull fedged for a dragon fly, for they
stretch their gauzy lengths for several
inches long each side of the wire frame
If the curve which they follow. Six
pink wings, three on each side. have
their beauty accentuated by cluster of
apple blossoms in the center. White
wings are lovely spangled over with
small gold spangles, and have a small
:osette of white tulle in the middle.
while black gauze wings are spangled
with either silver or gold and some
lines have small aigrette Of gold or
silver tinsel in the center, and some
times one of feathers.
Every woman has ribbon ornaments
or the hair, more or less elaborate.
tccording to the occasion on which they
are to be worn. Dainty rosettes of long
loops ar made Of a number of loops of
sauze ribbons, in soft colors. The idea
wearing so many of these ornaments
to get note of becoming color to the
ace to offset the effect of white gown,
for white gowns are worn morning,
ooon and night now. The flush of a
pink rosette, the glow Of a red one, the
bright CLEAN Of yellow ornament or
the warm tone of some other color lends
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
and tint of her eyes and the warm or
bright lights in her hair
Another ornament has loops of mar
row ribbon tied in 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 more popular than the floral
effects, where the green cup of a rose
is used to hold the fold of bit of satin
that represents Unfortunately the bud
Of red rose or 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
bon 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 Enotted in the middle, and as little
like flowers as these loops are, the eff
feet is of flowers with 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 deco
rated with jewels. and antique jewels
and barettes are worn in the hair. as we'll
as frame buckles of rhinestones and
other jewels.
