The NazimoVa Coiffure-Return of Simplicity in Hair-Dressing--Elab b. crate Structures Go By.

I I was one of about thousand wo- men at the matinee of Bella Donna, every one of us watching in awesome wonder the marvellous gowns of Mime. Nazimova, the famous Russian ac- Iress-
 Now I am not going to write up those temperamenta1 togs, as every paper in the country has talked of clinEing fabrics bespeaking the men tslity of the serpent Or the grace and inEenuousness of the dove. The gowns of this actress are pressive. but what about her coiTure?
 Here to my mind was the supreme evidence of talent on the part of the woman, for I had seen her at close range and knew that her hair, thick though 1t was hardly reached her shoulders and she perforce had to de- wise some new way of tossing it into conformity with her shape1y head, which in itself was as much a feat as the self-contained, wordless and tragic finale which is one of the most won dsrful pieces of acting ever shown the theatre going public. h------,
 The Nazfmova coiffure has become a fad. But few of the women who copy this style really get it in it's ac Tual simplicity.

 To acquire a direct imitation of the $azimova coiffure the hair does not reed to be long. but thick.

most favored style for both street and
 evening wear has come in almost last
 in the race-the fascinating tiny cha
 peau, similar to those worn by the Ori-
 entals. being a later feature of Fall
 millinery.
 The small hat is a popoIar style in
 Paris. Velvet, plush or fur is equally
 effective in the development of this
 type hat, as the material is draped 'snugly to the head. A spray of par
 adise placed directly in the back of
 the model is all that is necessary to
 complete a most fascinating piece of headgear. A model made of tail1ess ermine shows d small tam crown. The white paradise is arranged in most hat. Two small black velvet hats make excellent Illustrations of the small hat, the trimming of which is comparatively simple One shows a draping of velvet and the other a bunch of coque al the back. Many of the new models follow this outline, coming to the average person, wider range of styles in fur hats is noted. Brims of furs with soft crowns of l brocaded velvet and paradise trim ming are characteristic of many of the smart fur hats for nid-winter.
 The elongated line, as we'll as round brims and medium low crown, is shown. The vogue for using band of the same fur on the hat as is used 1 and gives an excellent opportunity for 1 diversity of styles. This mode of 1 trimming is especially attractive when l used in the larger models, that for 1 formal indoor occasions is most at 1 tractive addition to the costume. Os- i trich is taking particularly well-those l of the defrise and curled variety Shar- 1 ing equal honors. Since the combina- 1 ton Of colorings in this merchandise 1 is extensive, the milliner has an ex- l cellent field upon which to work, and | there is no end to the different styles l in fancy ostrich bands and feather | novelties.

reds showing here and there are in the lead. Ta-upe seems to be quite favorite this season owing to the pop ularity of moleslkin, and taupe plush is noted worn with no1eskin and may
 be had to match perfectly in coloring:
 deeper shade of taupe is also noted and is preferred to the lighter shades:
 Ribbons are holding their own, and
 many of the smart street hats show a
 simple trimming of plain or picit- edged ribbon. The shades of French blue, gold and black and white, with
 black or white edges, are given the
 preference A clever idea in using ribbon is to catch it in places around the edge Of the hat and finish at the back with fiat bow. A single small flower or French bouquet at one side makes most attractive and youthful model.
 The vogue for wearing artificial flowers with the street costumes and evening gowns has accelerated bus
 mess along, this line, and the manu- lecturers report a most satisfactory season Orchids, gardeniaS, lilies of the valley, roses, any tiny French bou- tonnieres made up of a variety of very small flowers are among those fla vored, while large gold and silver and black and white roses are shown the preference for use with evening gowns.

OF ."SNfAIII
 READY-TO-WEARS IN PARIS

The secret of. a nilliner'S success very often resides in her ability to fssaion hat to the style of the GUS toTler for whom it is intended. Few of the leading Parisian m OdisteS will allow a model to be purchased with out making some slight modification for it-is very rare that hat will be equally becoming to two faces-a little 16---h fere and there is almost always needed either to the shape or the po- slsion of the trimming. ,H
 One sees lots of really charming looking hats among the ready-mades, vet how few women wearing them vrclid pass muster before a eonnoiS- S%ur. There iE almost always some thing lacking-a discrepancy between the hat and the wearer, unless she happens to be one of the few who can provide the magic touch themselves with the help of a looking glass.

BABYLON AS TT NOW IS.
(From the Christian Hera1d)

For miles out of Bagdad, not a hu- man habitation, a tree, or any living green thing broke the empty solitude of the dry. flat plain. Yet the whole desert was marked off like a checker board with the ruined, haIf-flled can als which in ancient times watered all Mesopotamia, and made it ''the cradle of the race and the granary of the world" Here and there, wind-torn mounds, glistening in the sun with broken tiles and fragments of glass, showed the sites of once prosperous cities, whose very names are now for gotten. In all the fOrty-mi1eS journey from Bagdad to the EuphrateS, we saw but one human habitation-the mud walled khan of Mamoudieh, built in- side a. desert well.
 It was late in the afternoon when a mira ge-like fringe of date palms rais- ed themselves from the western hori- zon, marking the banks of the Flu pirates and the edge of the Garden of Eden At nightfaH we reached the Arab river town called Mussayeb. Hungry jackals walled in the tumble down cemetery outside the village Redolent camelts and goats crowded the narrow bazaar streets; a tom tom beat and an indolent dancing girl amused a group of Bagdad Jews and Armenian wool-buyers. The muez- gins call to prayers awaked the town at sunrise.

Various Ways of Wearing the Pa

Q It is an sdaptation of those so much worn Ia st summer to winter requirements. For Instance a full crown can, be pulled put behind in a poke or caught down Rt the sides forage-cap fashion.
