The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-12-18

the best frocks of the season are
composed of series of scarfs, while
scarfs for the shoulders are in greater
demand than ever, these little acces-
series make one of the most appro-
pirate and appreciate gifts of the
season.
Some of the hair ornaments which
the large stores, as well as the spe-
cialty shop are displaying are the
prettiest things seen in ages. Quite
novel conceit is composed of fine
plating of tulle mounted aigrette fash
ion in a small jewelled sheath. OF
course there is no law which compels
the use of real jewels, hence one finds
the same idea copied in brilliants, tur-
quose matrix, fresh water pearls or
any of the imitation gems. The orna-
ment is designed to be worn just at
one side of the front with the tulle
aigrette pointing off slantingly to-
ward the back.
Before leaving hair ornaments here
is another. 1t consists of a narrow
band of black velvet outlined on eth
er side with single row of rhine
stones with a damond-shaped orna-
ment catching an aigrette just at the
front.
The velvet neck bow made of inch
wide ribbon with somewhat long loops
and ends and buckle with some pref
ty stones in the center over the knot
is another novelty that will prove q
favorite with the woman who likes
dainty things.
Never has there been a season wher
so many dainty aprons were displayed
for the gift season. Nor are they de
signed for the maids. This time the
needs of milady are catered to and one
. finds lovely little aprons of black sill
