Types Of Hairdressing and Ornaments.

was long past midnight when I turned
out my light but had satisfied my
wonan's curiosity.
ut seems that hair ornaments are to
be quite the thing this winter, for have
seen any number of them at the theatres
already this season, and the shops are
showing such dainty, delicate flower ef-
fects, aigrettes, spangled and tinseled
affairs with which to beautify ones self
And something which I think is de-
cidedly attractive is the malinette hair
ornament. The malinette chou always
gives such Va soft, pretty effect, and 1t
seems becoming to almost every one.
saw stunning effect only last night
made of black malinette. Being in the
dressing room when milady rearranged
her puffs and curls / got good idea
of how 1t was made. little coronet Of
black velvet about half an inch wide
and three inches In diameter was slipped
over the high knot Of puffs and curls and
these pinned down all around 1t except
little to the left side, where a rather
stiff bow of black malinette with two
sequin spikes was posed The effect
was perfectly stunning on the red gold
hair.
II notice. too. that young girls are
wearing flower wreaths again, tiny but
ton roses with here and there a gilt
tering spangle in imitation of dew. An
other new and pretty girlish ornament
is braid of ribbon worn around the
head like a wreath and finishing with
three or four long loops and ends back
of the left ear. And the black taffetas
bow which the smart younger set tack
on the low hairdressing seems to grow
larger as the days go by.
did you ever see such beautiful combs
as one sees nowadays? My hairdresser
gave me quite a number of points about
combs the other day. He says that one
should not wear handsome combs and
flower or ribbon ornament at the same
time. II combs are used with orna-
ments they must be of shell and of the
plainest design. so arranged as to be In
conspicuous If not entirely Invisible. Then
too, II your combs are jeweled they must
match the Jewels you are wearing. Other
wise one should wear the plain shell. and
really many Of these are 80 handsome
that for one much prefer a carved
shell comb and barrette, for instance, to
like set elaborate with rhinestones or
colored stones. Oh yes. he said more,
but must run along now. There's the
music and here comes Jack for his dance
