Wreaths of very tiny gold or silver

large rose for finish, are liked, as are the

but the wreaths now encircle the head
instead of being half wreaths such as were
used for many seasons.
One does not see many soaring egrets
and ospreys such as we're popular
with the high coiffure, but occasionally
some such ornament is combined with
a fllet or wreath. and as has been said
before there are still numerous women
Of extreme modishness who wear their
hair high because the lines of high
couture are more becoming to them, and
with these high effects the feather orna-
ments are still liked, though they usually
droop and fall to the side instead Of
standing stifr1y upright as they once did.

1T goes without saying that there are
