COronet Ornament
For Your Couture

The question of what is the correct
ornament to wear in the present day
style of coiffure is day by day becom-
ing more and more perplexing.
The choice has certainly never been
more varied than it is at the present
moment. Everything from ribbon and
tulle bands to whole caps >asEse of
pearls, of semi-precious stones, OF q
lattice-work of gold or silver cord or
lace effects, skillfully made of ribbon
flowers, are to be bought on all sides.
One shop is scoring a success by the
display of some particularly beautiful
Juliet caps, made of iridescent beads,
which are very effective and which have
the merit of being far from expensive.
Other popular ornaments are big tor
toise shell butterflies, which are worn
as a slide, the hair being threaded
through the wings under the body.
Large carved tortoise shell buckles are
also very smart when worn with band
of hair passed over the middle bar.
These buckles are being used for day
and evening wear
