A. . rule, wells are tied too tightly.
which feels very uncomfortable on the
face, but IL they are too loose, as much
trouble Is caused by trying to tighten
them at the back or by pulling them
up over the top of the hat. Spotted
wells ere undoubtedly becoming, but
great pains should be taken in placing
them SO that the spots will not come
over the eyes. This may not only in
jure the eyes, but may give very odd
expression to them. If dot rests on
the tip of the nose, 1t Is apt to lengthen
the features. IL two OF them Outline
the corners of the mouth, 1t will give
bad tempered expression, whlie III
they rest just above the corners or the
mouth, 1t will give silly expression.
Before an attempt Is made to tasten the
veil, to the hat, 1t should be held up
before the face to see that the spots
are well placed The very newest wells
from PARIS are long. in hight tints with
polka dots the size of a dollar. A white
veil has black or pink dots, one OF
Lavender has purple, and or cream,
yellow.
The little tulle hats that are worn
with the lace coats are certainly very
dainty. They are made on small frames,
Hitting the head closely, and are COM
pletely covered with silk tuile, or
maiiHe, us IL Is also Caiieu. A>Ot q ~
of straw, net or lace are seen on these
hats, they are all tulie. Long dropping
aigrettes or ostrich feather, trim the
left side. The most beautiful trim
ming Is the bird of paradise plume,
but this has become too costly for many
to purchase, The only hats seen with
flower trimmings were Of lavender
tulle deliberately garnished with violets.
The becoming tulle bows are as fash
iohable as ever but-are actually bows
worn in the front, not a chou in the
back. Much tulle is worn about the
neck, either being twined in guise of a
scarf. or filling in the decolletage Of
princess gown.
This Is the season for separate coats,
even for street wear In the daytime,
and for evening wear over thin frocks,
they have been more in evidence. Ev-
erything is made in the new japanese
lines, loose, with full kimono sleeves.
The favorite length is the three-quar-
ter, but the short hip-length and those
covering the hem of the dress are much
worn. The material for these wraps
| one sees in every color of pongee with
lace dyed to match, Powered or plain
soft silks, liberty satins and Shan
tung, which seems to be the favorite
The white coat is seldom seen now,
| and in Its place are the self-tone and
biscuit shades, light brown or blue, not
| light enough to soil quickly. One of
the hip-length coats made with a
waistcoat Is very stylish, 1t being made
| of lightweight biscuit colored cloth,
with self-toned bands of soft liberty
| satin. Large French knots embroid-
| cred on the edge of the satin, is an
| improvement in the look. The Japan
csc sleeves are three-quarter length
with broad back cuffs. Despite
the simplicity Of this next three-quar-
ter length coat. IL has quite an air
about it. 1t is of natural colored pom
gee trimmed with silk braid and ball
fringe all of the same shade. 1t has
short flowing sleeves. The vest is
pointed and embroidered in different
tones of blue with roses. This vest,
however, may be omitted without 1poil-
ing the effect OF the coat.
Novelties in belts of brown and yell
low straw are seen to some extent
Some of them have straw buckles and
clasps. Others have the buckles and
clasps covered with the same material
of the gown. Linen girdies with metal
buckles are extremely stylish this sea-
son. An antique buckle set with ca
buehon stones. is much handsomer. II
woman is lucky enough to possess
one. Unless kid belt is very well
modelled, 1t has but little style, because
Kid has been done to death in cheap
belts. A white silk belt is modish and
not extravagant If the quality washes.
With colored linen dress, a high belt
OF matching taffeta is quite chick. Sill
yer belts have come back into favor
and f1ligree and openwork girdles are
decidedly stylish.
