The Fashionable Couture.

There certainly never was a time
when more bought hair was used than
at present, and yet the aspect of the
modern couture Is absolutely natural.
All the best milliners work hand in
glove with the coiffeurs and so design
the headgear they sell that puffs, curls
and plaits are essential items of the
general scheme
That very pretty amalgamation, the
Roman bind, or plat, and the cluster
Of empire curls, Is extremely fashion
able now. The shape Of the face and
the contour of the head must deter,
mine where the plat and the curls
are placed. One very pretty type, as
seen from the front of the face. has a
cluster of curls over the left temple
while the hair in the center is draped
In heavy loop off the forehead
and the plat stands at the right above
another display Of hair.

Hand embroideries are used more
than ever on elaborate toilets: the
work is OF the finest, and, in response
TO the Partisan influence, shows
touches of rich color.
Tulle and chiffon neck rufus Of
quite passable smartness can be
purchased for about three dollars.
They are sprinkled either with velvet
dots on self-color or tiny white dots.
The shirt waists OF white linen and
Of muslin will remain in demand. They
will be still more In favor than the
colored ones, although striped linen
and cotton wolfe will hold their own.
In choosing purple for night wear
great care must be taken to secure ex-
actly the right shades. Some puppies
change considerably under electric

smoky tones, are popular for daytime
uses, and shimmering satin in tints
at once rich and delicate Is the new.

Among the new materials from
which fashionable women are picking

dark and indefinite; 1t runs to iron
