pin on her dainty head at any we'll equipped hat shop, and need have no fears as to its extreme beeoningness, either.
 For what are generally termed full dress occasions the high coiffure. much elaborated, still prevails. In fact, there are many mondaines who prefer this type for allday and everyday wear. The Marcel type still fourishes, and the way Ing of the hair still maintains that ar tificial regularity that characterizes this method.
 The arrangement of the front pompadour dressing Is something that must be de- termined by the individual features. There are but two imperative requisites. The one Is that the hair be disposed In loose looking puffs and waves, and the other is that they be compelled to retain their loose fuffiness for an indefinite period. The weli-groomed woman no longer plasters her hair down close to her skull to keep 1t spick and span and smooth; rather does she have 1t dressed-or, if she be clever and alive to all of her own op- portunities and possibilities, dresses 1t herself-in the most complicated looking style, waves and curls and puffs being
 
 pearance. Then after the coiffure is com pleted, the well-groomed appearance is arranged for in the delft application of q hairnet, or, of two of them, according to the size of her coiffure and its adjust ment.
 And, by the way, 1t is rather interest ing to note the way that the fashion of those same hair nets is spreading. The well-groOmed Parlslenne has long been accustomed to them; and although the French woman does not indulge in pedes- trianism to anything like the extent that the American woman does, the coiffura net has been one of the indispensabes of the toilet table for, oh! eyer so long.
 The English woman, too, with her devo- ton to the life of out-of doors, has long been acquainted with the delightfully."- modish possibilities of the hairnet, albeit she does not always adjust them with the same chic deftness that Is so char acteristic of the Parisienne of every de- gree. The English woman Is devoted to the low type of coiffure, and the fact that the back hair is far more often rolled and twisted than 1t Is braided, makes the net an all the more desirable adjunct.
 coiffure-but which the Parisiennes so much more euphoniously call the coronet coiffure-is one of the most favored styles of dressing the hair for the girl with a youthful face and an abundant chevelure.

The Plume of
 the Panpa.

One of the most beautiful sights In ns- ture Is a field of pampas grass in tnii plume. The home of the plant, or course, s South America, where 1t grows wild on the parnpas or great prairles which ex- tend over m area of 1.5oo,oOo square miles, But 1t Is in Southern California, more particularly In Barbara county, that the grass Is regularly and scientifically cultivated.
 The grass was introduced Into Southern California about 40 years ago, where It was first raised from seed by MT. Joseph Sexton. Then one of those shrewd Americans who had purchased plant thought that 1t could be cultivated for profit. He made numerous experiments before he hit upon satisfactory way of curing the plumes. Until then they were absolutely unmarketable, for when dry the plant in the ordinary course of nature drops to pieces. The cured" plumes were dispatched to q florist In New York, who at once ordered 800 more. These early pumes were sold to the public at g each Today in the great towns of America it is possible to purchase in the season real ly fine pampas plumes at five cents each The plants ut six years old are fully IA feet or more in height by as many yards fin circumference The plumes. which arc stripped of by women, are laid In sym metrIcal rows for 4S hours Curiously enough 1t Is the female plant which pro duces the most beautiful plumes. By nature the plumes are white, but grow CTS are now introducing coiored ones.

TT ATS and hairdressing are inex- tricably mixed and mingled this l U season. The chapeaux themselves,
 with their oftentimes odd and bizarre curves and angles, their brims taking upward flights at the most un- expected points and places, the fronts narrow and the backs wide. and the gen eral air of topsi-turviness that character izes a hat in the hand, Is all of 1t ex- pected to be remedied and made quite comme il faut when the hat Is on the head. So it is that this season the pro- fessionai coiffeur flourishes to an extent that he has hitherto known only on the other side of the herring pond. All the shortcomings of the hat are his to rem edy; and oftentimes the coiffure is not really completed until after the hat has been adjusted to the head, pinned into place-and some of these new hatpins are really things of art and beauty-and the veil ready to be drawn on also.
 As of old, the everyday hairdressing and that for formal and full-dress occasions are supposed to differ materially. Many women there are, however, in the public eye, either upon the theatrical or the so- cial stage-for full as much publicity seems to attend the one as the other who adopt the one mode of dressing their abundant locks. and consistently cling to this, taking no heed of the many muta- tions of fashion, but going their appointed way serenely, secure In the consciousness that their own especial coiffure proves far more becoming than any other style could ever possibly be.
 The milliners are just beginning to wake up, and to design chapeaux for those various types of coiffure more large ly than used to be their wont. This scribe has very vivid recollection of shopping in Paris, year or two ago, with a friend who dressed her hair after the simple Madonna style, center part ing, the hair brought loosely over the ears and knotted loosely on the neck in the back. Shop after shop along the Rue de la Paix was visited; and each yendreuse, after glance at the coiffure, shrugged her shoulders and with exquisite politeness deplored the fact that cha eaux for that style were not kept in stock-they must inevitably be designed and made to order. The poke bonnet was suggested as the only possible thing; but when it was explained that a hat for morning and steamer wear was what was most desired, then the situation proved impossible, and the quest had to be given up.
 Now, however, the coiffure Is recog- nized as being of first importance, and style in view. The girl who follows the fashion already indicated can find the most charming of chapeaux all ready to

For this the hair Is parted in the center, slightly ruffed underneath in the region of the ears, drawn around to the back, there disposed into two braidss that are wound around the head. the ends being piled in a coronet on top For this style only the front hairnet Is needed and that is drawn on loosely so that the hair beneath is by no means fattened down, but remains full and puffy after the net is in place. Most wearers of this style take a hatpin or long hairpin, and after the net Is in place, the hair underneath is lifted and pulled a trife with the long pin, so that the flat and set look which a net sometimes imposes is entirely obvi- ated.
 The schoolgirl-and she remains one nowadays even after she has gone to col lege-is taking nightly to the Catogan fashion of wearing her hair. For this the front hair may be arranged nfter any chosen mode, the back hair is braided into one long plait, and then looped both top and bottom, and tied with q smart ribbon bow right in the center. large fancy tortoise shell pin or two hold the upper loops to the head, but the lower loops are left to hang free.
 Parlslau JeWelerb dre ueSlRHiuB neto of combs-there are usually four to the set-encrusted with all sorts of precious and semi-precious stones The side combs are confined nowadays to the, high coif- fure; they are deemed altogether out of place with low dressing; and they are completely taboo when the Dutch braids or coronet coiffure is followed There Is no place or opportunity for them with this mode of colffure, and the girl who has any sense of the eternal fitness of things wisely omits them when she adopts this style of dressing her abundant locks.
 Plaid ribbons are in great favor for hair dressings for all of the schoolgirls from 6 to 16, and even older. The clan tartans are what are considered correct although those soft melanges of color known as French plaids do not lack for fashionable appreciation. A velvet edge often times appears on those, and the picot edge Is in equal modishness.

Hence, if you are fortunate enough to possess an opal, don't hold 1t in a candle flame. as you may do with diamond with !mpunity, for the heat will cause the water to eyaporate, and the stone fn conseouencs will cease to reflect light.

 sapphlres are near relatives of rubies. They are corundums, or flnts. Every blade of grass, every length of straw, contains crystals of silica or flint, which are, after all, rubies and sapphires in a very minute stage. sapphres are, for some mysterious reason, more plentiful than rubies. When of the correct azure hue they are extremely valuable. Sap phire Is an Arabic word, and means "hardness," and with the exception of the diamond, which is the hardest sub

Strange to say, modern science has re- gently discovered that we go through life surrounded with diamonds. Unfortunate ly, or perhaps fortunately, for those whose wealth is mainly represented by jewels, these diamonds are so minute that 1t would take 10000 of them to cover a threepenny-bil They are produced un- knowingly, unconsciousIy, in the manu- facture of steel, and every razor, pocket knife and tubular boiler contains thou nanda of mieroacopic diamondA

It is this knowledge which has given to an eminent French chemist the idea that 1t is possible to crystalline carbon, or manufacture diamonds, on commercial basis. His system is to produce carbon by burning sugar and then to suspend the carbon on the center of great cyl finder, which is suddenly filled with mol ten steel. The enormous pressure which the carbon is subjected to by the con- traction of the metal as 1t cools. causes small crystals. which are really dia-

At present. in the opinion of scientists, manufacturing diamonds Is only an expensive amusement, and doubts are expressed as to the possibility of the process ever being conducted on a paying basis. Art will possibly never rival na- ture In producing such magnificent gem as the Delhi diamond.
