sive thing possible Now, according TO the
latest Parisaan decree. when our tresses
should assume a Greuze-like grace or the
gentle curfs which seem to place themselves
just where they are wanted as Gainsbor-
ough, Lely and his confreres depicted them.
we are in despair as to how this end shall
be accomplished unless nature has given US

The best thing have found for producing
a natural waved effect is a new invention
which consists of piece of silk braid. the
center of 1t sewed up to the depth of two
and a half inches into a sort of bolster.
the hair wound round this makes stunning
loose-curling undulatons. 1t IS necessary
to take quite quantity of hair If you want
the wave large. Having wrapped 1t round
and round, all you have to do Is to tie the
ends of the braid in a bow. and the treat
ment Is rather fetching than otherwise, be-
sides being very satisfactory when the
process is completed.
The gowns worn by Nine Rogers were
the smartest things seen on the stage for
long time, and three of her toilettes are
well worth describing as an indication OF
the present Ideas in point OF fashion. one
gown is of silver gray mousseline de sole
over pale pink foundation. and the COM
bination of the two shades makes de-
lightful harmony. AT the bottom OF the
skirt very original effect was brought

transparent printed flowers that showed
the pink silk lining beneath. 1t is well to
take note of this ribbon effect. as It is one
of the novelties of the moment. The In
dispensable touch of black that a French
creation never lacks was evident in the
classical Greek design introduced on the
bodice and skirt with narrow velvet ribbon.
The second act was made more interest
ing by our admiration of very fetching
empire dinner dress we shall all be copying,
though in less royal materials, perhaps. Ii
was charmingly evolved from soft chiffon
velvet of a pale yellow tone that looked al
most like crepe de chine. The frock was
embroidered in several rich and effective
shades of gold and bordered at the edge of
the skinny skirt and low-cut bodice with
tiny band of sable. Nine. Rogers was
particularly happy in her selection of jew
els. A less courageous artist would have
chosen hackneyed string of diamonds or
pearls to carry out the effect. but not so
this clever past mistress of sartorial
schemes. She selected rubies, deep-red ru-
bies, to accompany this dress, that brought
out the coloring in the pale velvet and rich
fur.
visiting gown that had many admirers
was in pale yellow CLOTH which is the ma
terial TO conjure with II one desires stun
ming afternoon costume Big embroidered
flowers done in wool and separated by
knots of sable were arranged about the
jupe and bodice. Tiny bows of Parma vio-
let velvet made a bold relief on the white
lace collar. One gazed with rapture min
gled with envy upon these creations: for
what clever combinations Paris dress
makers do achieve. But too. 1t must be
remembered they have the loveliest colors
from which to make their combinations.
and 1t Is not so difficult to attain perfection
when one has only to stretch out ones
hand for the materials.
L went with young girl to select hat
the other day, and it never until then oc-
Cured to me how serious a mission Is this.
Young girls do not want to look like wom-
en-, and, on the other hand, there must be
no suggestion of the late release from
'kiddom." The milliners. however, are
giving the question their consideration this
winter, and the result is a happy change.
Black velvet hats with high. round crowns
are the most attractive of the new shapes
The velvet is stretched tightly over the
frame. and the rather wide brim is raised
in a sharp curve at the side. Very little
trimming is necessary, merely twist OF
black velvet ribbon a couple of inches wide
placed around the crown and tied in small
bow below the curve of the brim. At the
side, upon the hair chaplet of small bows
and few tiny roses formed cachepeigne.
This hat is extremely simple and effective
and may be worn with any eolored or plaid
suit. Another style of chapeau, perfectly
fiat, is carried out in black, brown or gray
beaver and trimmed with long bow OF
as the hat All the trimming lies fiat on
the brim. Indeed, nothing stands erect on
tne best hat models, not even wings and
birds, and the exaggerated masses of flow
ers that were so awkward on the summer
chapeauX have given way to single large
and its foliage or tiny bandeau with
a line of small blossoms covering 1t.
Have you seen the new wings that never
flew DER land sea. but are the invention
of an enterprising milliner who has never
felt her pinions sprout? Let me try to de-
scribe them. In the first place, they come
in pairs, are about eight or nine inches
long and are broad when spread out and
slender when dropped together. A smart
combination is a black hat with a pair of
these scarlet wings across the top; a dar-
ing piece of headgear to don, but, you
know. black and red is thought very chic
this winter. Silver gauze laid over pale
colored malne is favorite garniture for
moderately large hats. One stunning con-
fection seen recently was medium-sized
crown plainly covered with black velvet
Carelessly arranged about the brim was
loose roll of pale blue maline covered with
silver gauze. At one side of the back this
gauze was held by a huge pink silk rose
very open and shallow, with it's foliage
resting on the brim near the edge The
shape slightly raised at the left side
and adorned with two small maline and
gauze choux. Esther Meyer was the sig
nature on this chapeau. The winter hats
demand a high coiffure, but this must now
as always, be a matter of individual out
line rather than one Of fashion. The fringe
the forehead, however, is necessity if
the tip-tilted shapes are to be worn becom-
ingly.
The sleeve had the deciding vote last
year but this season it's the coat that dis
