Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear II.


Flower ornaments are much worn
in the hair, and they are features of
the low coiffures which are so much
in vogue for evening. The English
coiffure, a coronet made of a single or
three small braids, wound about the
head above a pompadour, is popular.
Everything from cloth to the film
lest of fabrics is in some way distin-
guished by embroidery. Many lace
simulations are shown in the novel;
ties. Many exquisite bits Of neckwear
sometimes including cuffs-are fash
ioned Of the popular cut-out embroid-
cry, and often these fancies are made
at home. Frills Of finely plated or
CANDY give distinctive touch to a
collar and cuffs set Of cut-out embroid-
cry.
The girl with the rebellious locks
will hail with Joy the remarkable vo-
of the new coiffure nets. When she
wore her picture hat with its big and
Hopping brim, those struggling locks
and curls took on an air Of careless
prettiness quite In keeping with her
good looks. But when she donned her
close fitting turban or Marquise hat
those same little flying curls that used
to look so distractingly pretty beneath
the broad brim merely began to look
untidy and even frowsy.
Border effects are among the new
fashion notes, and very attractive are
they when tastefully constructed. A
contrasting material, rather than trim
ming, produces this adornment. Dress
es of silk, poplin and silk yelling will
have the border Of mousseline de sole,
all-over lace or crepe de Chine, and the
color, too, Is frequently In contrast.
The waist and sleeve garniture should
in every case match that of the skirt.
II possible the modish bodice is more
than ever characterized by a novel
yoke arrangement, and the clever mod
iste finds in this feature unlimited pos
sibilities for original and ingenious
ideas. An especially noteworthy feat
ure Of the new yokes is that they are
cut in one with the neck-band.
Evening coats are quite as essen
tial for spring and summer as they
are for winter wear. There Is little
as yet that Is new In these garments.
Light weight broadcloth makes a prac-
tical wrap and 1t can be found In
great variety Of colors and shades.
Browns in chestnut and golden tones
will be popular. For the simple
broadcloth evening coat braiding Is
perhaps the smartest trimming. Pro-
vided the broadcloth has picturesque
lines the more severe It's trimming Is
the better. Both Japanese and Chin
ese ideas will be as much In vogue the
coming season as they have during
the winter. These models are partic-
ularly suitable to broadcloth with
trimming Of oriental embroidery.
The expense Of the leather or suede
hat will keep it from becoming too
popular, for 1t takes a skilled needle
woman to produce just the right effect
in this. That they are all Of them
handmade is a foregone conclusion.
An exquisite little marquise shape Is
of pastel blue suede, the dull finish be-
ing observed. The leather was drap-
ed over the frame in soft folds, with
a little tab hanging on the hair at the
back. On the left side knot Of Marie
Louise violets-these showing a blush
rather than a purple tint-centered
chou Of yellowish Mechlin lace, and an
outstanding feathery aigrette In white,
yellow and violine (this latter match
ing the violets exactly) gave just that
touch Of height which the rather fiat
shape demanded for success.
Distinctive touches in trimmings
are the latest demand of fashion.
There must be individuality in the
manner of applying these decorative
devices, as we'll as in the trimmings
themselves. A particularly novel
trimming is the Louis XVI ribbon en-
broidery. Delicately colored ribbons
of the narrowest possible width are
used for this artistic work. The de-
signs are usually floral, the petals Of
a flower being made by drawing the
two ends of the ribbon through the
material; a single stitch secures the
centre of the loop. The success Of this
decoration depends upon the combina-
ton of shades, 1t will be used on
sheer fabrics as well as on silks and
fine cloth. Velvet collars, cuffs and
lapels embroidered in this fashion Will
be feature Of some Of the handsome
silk and cloth coats, and even laces
will In many instances bear this
adornment
Self-colored fringes showing
mingling of chenille and silk give an
air of elegance to some of the new
tussah wraps, the capes being finished
with them or the deep yoke bordered
by the graceful trimming. Incrusta-
tions of heavy lace, cream or white,
add to the decoration. Plain materials
or those showing embroidered effects
are trimmed with self-colored soutache
or galloon, or perhaps with small pas
sementerie motifs on the revers Of the
jacket only An original touch Is CIV
en- checked materials in the linen
faced revers of the jackets. Embroid-
cred silk, too, Is sometimes used. A
series of tucks graduated In width
form an attractive trimming on some
of the skirts of smart mohair cos
tunes. There are various arrange
ments of these tucks, and the ingen-
ious modiste finds in them many pos
sibiities. Bands set on plain. having
the lower edge scolloped and embroid-
cred, form another suggestion for the
tailored mohair costume.
The typical spring hat has flex-
ible brim which is turned up sharply In
the back, perhaps in a broad and sim
pie fold, quite as likely in a series Of
irregular and frantic pinchings. This
doubled-up hat is tilted down over the
face by means of an extremely wide
bandeau. the resulting attitude contri-
