| In Paris the COitIureS are DeCoIllhS
more and more elaborate daily. There
is absolutely no plain hair dressing
| to be seen at the theaters or evening
receptions with her innate coquetry
| the Parisienne not merely aims to ar
range her hair becomingly, but adds
ornaments and headdresses with re-
suits that even for Paris are aston
i9hing.
To go with her empire or princess
gown the French woman of classic
! features has revived the psyche knot.
1t is formed of a bunch of soft curls
just at the crown of the head The
rest of the hair is undulated and taken
up loosely, but a tri1e more closely
than the conventional coiffure of today.
| A Greek fillet, if one happens to own
| jewels, or a chaplet of tiny roses other
wise, encircles the front part of the
| hair like a crown.
Less trying and more truly French
is the coiffure with a waving paradise
plume caught at one side of the POM
| padour and sweeping with great
curve down to the shoulder. This
frames the face in an indescribably
pretty way. On the opposite side the
hair, which is worn on top of the
head, is raised much higher than on
in daring way.
For low coiffures-greatly worn by
young girls-the Alsatian bow is the
most chic thing. The hair is waved,
arranged in a big pompadour in front,
and in a fiat braid or figure eight at
the back of the head. Holding this
is a great square velvet bow
With the hair dressed high a cum
ming poke bonnet effect is made of
txtrn Ittrrn ur1n or no
crushed together in peak just in front.
Marrow velvet strings are taken from
beneath the roses loosely around the
hair and caught up with a graceful
bow among the curls and puffs on
top of the head.
Hydrangeas in blue shade are the
very newest flower. They look spe-
cially well thrust into a big loose POM
padour, a bunch on either side just
above the temple. The girl with pur-
pie blue eyes will never regret trying
this fashion.
Some of the theater head dresses
that are appearing in Paris this spring
are dazzling confections of feathers
and jeweled net. Some of them are
stiff circular bands embroidered with
pearls and surmounted by towering
plumes, which bid fair, by the way,
! to be every bit as tiresome in blocking
the view of those Tho sit behind them
as the much-abused matinee hat"
Moreover in the more pronounced
models such feathers are abnormally
| high, and stand out at eccentric an
giles from the head; others are formed
of dainty clusters of flowers, with the
regulation tuft of plumes nesting in
mass of roses or violets
The woman who is inclined to think
soft filmy scarf one of the luxuries
of life will change her mind the first
time she becomes the owner of one.
| Nothing quite takes their place-both
! for usefulness and as a dainty acces
sorry of an evening or summer gown.
A scarf of some kind is indispen
sable to the woman who contemplateS
a trip to pleasure or health resorts
during Lent or at Easter. All summer,
moreover, they fill an important place
as a light, extra wrap that can be
| carried around with absolutely no
trouble, yet it is surprising the amount
of warmth they give.
There are many new scarfs that are
we'll adapted to these purposes. The
simplest, of course, are the long,
straight scarfs of chiffon, made with
a deep hem at each end. These can
be bought ready for use, or the chiffon
can be purchased by the yard and
hemmed by hand They launder very
WELL even when in pale, delicate colors.
Another scarf easily made at home
may be of some of the exquisitely
colored liberty or China silks that wash
so well. These scarfs should be two
yards or two yards and a half long.
The ends can be hemstitched.
Certain of the chiffon scarfs that
can be- easily made at home are made
very attractive by adding an accordion
pleated ruffle, about two inches wide
all around. This can be put on with
a fine lace beading, or some of the
Ibcught silk faggoting in narrow widths.
The regular evening scarf i5 more
elaborate this season than ever. Crepe
de chine seems to be the most favored
J material. one of the handsomest seen
recently was of the Nile green crepe,
with a border of woven gold, giving
{ the effect of brocade.
A charming summer scarf is of thin
batiste with a narrow design of eyelet
, embroidery running through it. 1t is
, finished with a two-inch hemstitched
hem.
/, Net scarfs with allover designs OF
opalescent sequins are lovely, but
fragile. These also come in black net
