REIGN or FILLETS.
Fashions Of Greece 4dopted,
1Cith q Difference.

Greek and Roman fashions reappear in
the hair ornaments Of to-day. but with
difference Hairdressers hold that few
American faces can stand the severity of
purely classic adornments. \ woman may
be ever so charming, but unless she has
Juno's perfect features she had better not
assume Juno's fillet. F'illets and wreaths.
though, American women Will have, ana
some go far as to crown their pompa-
dours with two and even three bands But
thy are bands such as the maids of Athens
never had-filets with attachments OF
spangled. sequined and jewelled wings and
cabochons Then, there are Wreaths of
grape leaves, with the fruit, made of a
lustrous tinsel fabric. eNquisitely light with
a sort of moonlight-on-the-frost effect.
Hairdressers aver that if the women of
old Greece and Rome. with their several
fillets. could see these wreaths they would
be green with envy, and as they aren't
here to deny the statement it will have to
be accepted.
Fea athers are much used in hair orna-
ments now. Great. dropping ostrich plumes,
attached to one side of a fillet, droop to
the wearer's shoulder. Osprey feathers and
aigrettes are used in this way. too, but they
are not particularly comfortable, for their
curving formation gives them a tendency
to tickle the Wearer's neck. Sometimes
these feathers are attached to Bacchdnte
wreath of gold, sometimes they fall from
bow of black velvet combined with loops
of jet. duh gold. silver or parti-coored
iridescent sequins, and worn on the left
side of the head.
Debutantes with loads of fluffy hair can
venture on wearing the simpler fillets of
gold or silver, jewels. rhineStones or, Sc
quins made without adornments of feath-
ers or bows \ beautiful fllet is of pearls,
simple bands confined at either side with
cabochons of the same gems. but only
very lovely woman can wear thIs-ought 10
wear il. at least. The debutante nowadays
is given 10 loVeOcks, careful little rIllS-
lets and floating WiSpS of hair which are
charming when they are artistically done
For the younger girl. who is not supposed
to require many embellishments, are rib
bon bowknots and loops and twists of silk
TO stick in her fluffy hair. Only for her
older sisters are the gold and silver poin
settias, the winged insects, the clusters of
golden fruit and the flmy birds. One ia
vorite ornament for older girls is a tuft
of frosted silver wheat, mixed with the
misty feathers of an aigrette and caught
to the hair with a silver white butterfly
The beauty of these ornaments depends
much on the quality of the tinsel. There's
an awful difference III tnsei,' remarked
one dealer in hair ornamets, as she laid
out two specimes. one most exquisite, the
other gaudy and nartistic Just because of
the cheap tinsel used in making it.
Two kinds of gold are fashionable in
making up hair ornaments. One sort is
termed pale gold and the other old gold
Neither has the decided yellow to be found
in Frenchy side combs and mountings fer
broad and narrow rhinestone badeaus.

HUNGRY FOR BEAUTY.
East Side Boys and Girls Cultivate Art
Aloug with Politics

The East Side Equal Rights League is
hungry for beauty as well for woman
suffrage. The members. who are boys and
girls not yet out of their teens. rcalize that
they can't get votes for women for some
time vet, but they don't see why they
shouldn't have the beauty right away.
They want their clubrooms which they
hope soon to have to be beautiful
those of the National Arts Club. and last
November 1t seemed to the young secretary,
Miss Henrietta Mercy. as if the thing could
lie very easily managed. There are great
many artists whose studios are stacked
with unsold pictures. There are other per
sons who have more treasures than they
know what to do with, and who are seek
ing opportunities to improve the condition
of those less fortunate. Why should not
these people give or loan some of their
pictures and other beautiful things To the
East Side Equal Rights League?
1t all looked very simple to the secretary
but her appeal to the owners of superfuous
art treasures brought only four responses
Miss Juliet Thompson sent picture. Mrs
Helen West sent another. A third was sent
by a sympathizer whom the secretary
naTvely described as mot an artst-iust
nice man., while bust came from IA
woman sculptor who prefers TO remain
anonymous.
Realizing that the world Of art was not
listening to its hungry disciples on the East
Side, the members of the Equal Rights
League reached the sage conclusion that If
they were going to get any art they mast
take more strenuous measures. In short,
they must earn the money To pay for it,
They were wise enough too, to see that il
wasn't necessary to work for this money
They could have some fun and raise money
al the same time. The girls wanted ball.

Ways of the Uorld

lots of ways. is horrid when she goes away
to stay for any special occa sion and just
spois every ones fun. The other night
she and l were asked into the country to
go to a bridge whist si"en for charity,
and some nice men went down, too. One of
them she had never ret before. but she
knew he was well off and she started IN,
right Oh the train TO fascinate him. 1T
began to snow a little before we got there,
and I heard her saying something about
lungs. After dinner when it was almost
time TO go. Emily began to talk about that
snow, and finally said she could not pos
sibiy go although our hostess had
limousine and everything else perfect. 50
Mrs. Blank telephoned and tried to get
girl in Emily's place. Then the man, who
was by now very epris. said he played too
badly to be Of any use. and if Mrs. Blank
would get couple he would entertain Miss
Beals for an hour or so and just join them
for supper Mrs. Blank finally got two
girls-no men were available-and just for
Emly's whim there was almost hen
party at one table. and every one felt cross.
So did Emily next day, when Mrs. Blank
said, My dear l hope you did not lose
your heart to John last night, for he Is
going TO marry a Washington girl next
he left this morning! &"
A young woman. who is an unusually
good judge O, antiques, has hit upon
clever scheme by which she may support
herself and get much actual excitement
and plea sure at the same time. She takes
a house in some smart neishborhood. al
WAYS in the country near club, and by
June has il attractively furnished and
ready 10 rent for the season. After the
tenants have left she has an auction OF her
furniture, which has all been picked up,
and includes nothing that has not some
merit OF course she reserves enough to
be comfortable with. for she lives in the
house herself during the winter, and in
dustriouslv does over with the aid of
skilful mechanic. the Old pieces she has
bought during her summer in the real
country With these she lPfufnishes for
her next renting. Her knowledge of the
practical repairing of furniture is vast
sa wing, and the task is one she really en-
Joys so all is clear gain. Every year she
has laid by a neat little sum. and now she
is considering the formation OF stock
company TO buy up and restore abandoned
farms and farmhouses. She herself will
do the remodeliing and furnishing. for she

I mean to make thorough study of the
English Industrial revolution, as the start

THE DAUGHTERS OF SPAIN.
Mcnotony Ages Them Before Their
Time, Says Senorita Marcial.

There are no mannSh women III Spain,
saws Senorita Carolina Marciai, instructor
in Spanish at Wellesley College The
charm of the Spanish women lies in their
extreme womanliness. They are petite and
vivid. and nothing besides home duties and
womanlike pleasures. such as housekeeping
and sewing, appeals TO them. They do not
indulge in athletics i'll games of any
kind, for this would be considered most i'm
proper and unwomanly. The Spanish won-
en- go to bullfights less frequently than in
older days, but they still attend these
events from a desire to be loyal 10 the
Spanish festivity: also perhaps because
they like to improve every opportunity TO
he seen in the national head attire. the
white lace mantlla.
Women of Madrid and other great
cities are frivolous and gay. They thor
oughIv enjoy all kinds of amusements:
they attend regularly the opera and thea
tre for there is nothing they enjoy more
than good music and fine acting During
the winter society in Madrid takes a daily
drive in the afternoon through the Retro
and Paceo de la Castellana, while recep-
tions and balls a court. dinners, small
dances and fancy dress parties at the for
eign embassies at the homes of the
arstocrats are the great events in the life
of the society belle.
when the winter season is over the
Spanish arfstocracy reappears in London,
Paris or Biarritz. while the weli-to-do peo
pie go To Valencia or TO San Sebastian and
other summer resorts, and there they con-
tinue the same frivolous life.
''In.the small towns the life of the women
is very dreary and dull. In no country of
Europe do women lead more monotonous
and uneventful lives than in the lesser
places of Spain. Early in the morning the
Spanish women, with black lace mantillas
covering their glossy hair and piercing
black eyes, make their way TO mass-this
is the only place where they may go alone
and as they offer their prayers inattentively
in the shadowy nave of some old church
they indeed resemble the type of Spanish
hcauty that dwells in the imagination Of
most people After they have gone TO
church and have attended to their house
hold duties there is nothing left for them
tn do They seldom make calls. and take
no pleasure in visiting. They sit by the
rratings and pretty balconies full of bright
flowers and 81 end their hours embroider-
ing. singing as they sew. sweet and senti-
mental Spanish songs.
$50 they dawdle away the weary hours
and become old long before their time
saws senorita Marcal. Their lives are
often unhappy. for their husbands. often
susnicious and Jealous, keep sharp look
out ON all their actions and never recognize
that they have any rights or acknowledge
any duties toward them. They enter life
tho most beautiful. charming. joyful Great
,.res in the world, and they leave II worn
ont. weary, disappointed women.
