ever over the tight fitted long sleeves
and with the th~ree-quarter effects,
which are making their appearance for
dressy wear.
For hair ornamentation nothing
p~rettier can be found than the combs
and barrettes and fancy pins, which
come either in matched sets or may be
purchased separately, One of the Cd
dities Of the season is a long chain
finished at either end with a tassel of
small beads. 1t is worn over the long
WASTED "Moyen Age" gowns as a
girdle, and is simply knotted loosely
n hangs long at the front of the
waist.
Jet butterflies do duty for lace pins
and bars fasten the Irish lace collars,
while old-fashioned cameo designs are
being reproduced in this fascinating
stone. Even jet shirt waist rings are
being sold, and from all indications,
unless a woman is literally provided
with Jet ornaments galore, she will be
hopelessly out of fashion.

, Jet promises to be the predominant
note this season. Jet trimmings on
gowns, Jet buttons on coats and Jet
ornaments on hats are only a few uses
to which It will be put. Jet ornaments
are even now extremely scarce. All
sorts Of neckwear will be worn in this
becoming stone. Long chains OF beauti-
fully cut beads in graduated sizes ex-
tend below the waist line and worn
with a pendant in carved Jet over
street and evening costumes. These
pendants are sometimes in the shape of
crosses, heart shaped or round lockets
and often a festoon of tassels formed
Of many minute beads. The dog collars
OF Jet are more popular than ever, with
the low Dutch neck gowns, and look

One good thing about the new hats
is the fact that they are not extreme.
No too lofty crowns and no extrava-
CANT mushroom brims. There is a de-
cided tendency towards the normal
and therefore the becoming type is in
evidence everywhere. MORE is a ma
terial which seems to have displaced
satin in the affections of the populace.
Large hats Of Gainsborough style in
white MORE have a brim faced with
black MORE and are rolled sharply on
the left side and heaped with plumes
in either black or white. This model
of a hat is universally becoming and
suits all contours. The trimming often
consists of a willow plume encircling
the crown with several large tips
dropping over the brim where it is
rolled. Smaller hats in bowl shape
with the round crowns coming nearly
to the eyes where a tiny roll does
duty for a brim are shown in many
OF the shops. They are trimmed simply
with huge bows or else aigrettes in

and said yes, I could give him that hour
and at that hour he came and l was ready
for him.
He kept coming, was my first regular
good client, and was a boon to me in many
WAYS. He gave me really a subs ant a
start far earlier than I might reasonably
nave expected it and one day he told me
how he happened to come to me.
He has been soinr for years to a dentist
who was high in his profession, but who
had so much to do that often he would
keep his clients waiting. And this used
to disturb my friend. In the first place
he liked to ave appointments kept and
IN the second place his time vas really
valuable.
one bill he got from the dentist was
for S115.5O, a perfectly fair and proper bill,
but instead Of sending, as was his custom,
a prompt check for that, he figured up
from memoranda he had kept and what he
counted his time worth to him in his bust
ness, what he considered he had lost by
being kept waiting as he had been in tho
dentists office, the amount being STA, and
deducting the dentists bill from that he
figured that instead of his owing the den
fist S115.5O, the dentist owed him $3.50, and
he sent the dentist a bill for that. amount.
"Of course this was only my friends lit
tie joke, this offset and counter charge and
later he paid the dentists bill, and still,
Joke as It was, my friends bill was in
tended as a reminder. But 1t didn't do
much good. After that he was kept wait
ing just about the same.
And then one day coming along the
block he saw my sign, and he came in
to me, and you know the rest. 1t taught
me a lesson, that experience did, on the
value Of punctuality."

The New "DagoIet" Slip

The under mrslins always follow
the general trend Of styles Of the gar
ments for outside wear. Now that
dresses have the elongated waist line
the undergarments have the same
characteristic Combination garments
of the two or three piece variety have
a quaint effect and seem but little
more than exaggerated waist with
some tiny ruffles added to the length.
Cross barred materials are not be-
ing Used in underwear to the extent
of last season, but numbers are being
sold. Batiste and uainsook play a
prominent part in the development Of
the very fine garments, but cambria
and long cloth is used for the material
of the simple, inexpensive kind. Com
binations on the Princess order are In
great demand. In some of the late
models, the cover is considerably
elongated, coming down to the ex-
LTeu6 6uB6 Vi the COlSVb anu JOlhOu
to the lower section OF the skirt by
means of a beading, through which
ribbon is run. This garment is made
with many cores and is fitted to the
figure, the cores being Joined with
veining to give the neat finish. These
Princess slips with the extremely long
waist lines are called the Dagolet,
after the gowns made In the same
fashion. One particularly beautiful
one is in nainsook trimmed with Brod-
erie Anglaise in several widths. 1t
a low, round neck, made chemise
and a panel front of fine tucked
nainsook in a horizontal design.
The gowns show some new ideas
in round or Dutch necks and there
is a decided leaning toward the revival
Of the old style OF ruffle trimming,
especially for a front finish. The
Empire style is still prominent and
decidedly attractive in the dainty Gre
shown this year.

jet or cut steel. The shapes all have

HAIR DRESSING STYLES.

Completely changed is the fashion
able couture; the pompadour is a
thing of the past and impossible to
wear with the hats of the hour. The
hair is worn flat on the top of the
head. but wide on the side and ex-
tending around to the back in a regu-
lar chignon. The chignon of our
mothers day was a bulky, unsanitary
thing, but we have progressed and we
have now all sorts of clever, light
weight, becoming arrangements which
give the requisite width without bur
dening the wearer. Even the omnipres-
ent rat, or hair-roll, is being displaced
to some extent. and transformation and
false pompadours have taken their
places. These latter are simply the nat
ural hair fastened to a webbing, which
is worn either over or under the wear

adjusted. There is n arrangement of
short curly hair, which can be worn
either as a cluster of puffs or in tiny
little curls, exactly at the back. Some
times this is varied to have both puffs
and curls. Single curls are moulded on
long h~airpins, and added just where
they will give the right touch. Long,
thick braids finished with a cluster Of
small puffs at either side are worn in
a filet-like manner from ear to ear,
just above the waved parted front hair.
These Grecian bands, by the way, play
a prominent part in the headdress of
