Hats Are TabOOed
For Evening Wear

IT HE elite are not wearing hats
this year in the evening. Whether
this dieium OF fashion is due to
tie narvelousIy beautiful new
hair ornaments or the hair ornaments
are due TO the absence of hats. it is diff
fcult TO say. At all events. these
gieamy. sparkling tribes which women
wear in their hair are displayed in
greater variety and profusion than for
years back
Every woman, from dowagei. to young
girl, can have an ornament peculiarly
suited 70 her age and style, and in
becoming selection lies the secret Of
success. The smart final touch for the
deliberately Marcelled couture will not

The dowager wears marabout, that
soft filmy cloud Of down whose tips
now glisten with pailletteS. Aigrettes
are added, heightened or lowered &C
cordlng TO the splendor OF the evening
function which their wearer Is to at
tend Ostrich tips encrusted with
sparklets and. in direct contrast, but
terhy wings Of black sequins are both
favorites-
The natron who wishes a reputation
but her more frivolous sister dons the
elaborate tiara effects with high Golf
fUre. These far outnumber the other
in variety. but they all have one point
in common--zparkles. Whether they

or gauzc. they sparkle with tiny bril-
liants, which are fastened at most ef-
fective points.
Ribbon in delicate shades is twisted
about seni-circular wire and knotted
into small roses. vioIefs, forget-ne-nots,
or simply perky bows, through which

the tiny brilliants are scattered every

tips turning backward fregn the center

each leaf, make a simple Dut most be

or gold leaves IS a bit mora elaborate
and is worn with gown Of greater
intricacy. With these. of course, the
hair Is piled high and the leaves rest az
the base OF the hair crown The Jet
tiaras 10 be worn with black spangled
gowns are often relieved with aigrettes
placed a little 10 one side, or with
rosettes Of spangles with dangling pen
dants.
For the young girl and the matron
who dares 10 wear her hair low. nothing
could be more coquettish than the huge
pink velvet rose with its accompanying
leaves. every petal and leaf tip agieam

wide-spreading bows for this latter pur-

the effect of being wired. so perky is
their makeup; but it is the crispnes5
Of the ribbon and the dizziness with
which the bows are made which causes
this. The outstanding bows for the high
