MAKEUP OF THE C0IFFURE
ORIGINAL Effects Sought After by the
Smartest Women Who Set the
Fashions of Paris.

This year there is little absolute
novelty in the matter OF hair ar
rangement to chronicle. yet the
changes, though subtle, are none the
less potent-a frequent experience as
is demonstrated when one puts on
an old hat carefully cherished, even
when no distinct change in fashion
has taken place.
The most important aspect OF the
couture nowadays is the silhouette 1t
produces. fact in union with the
whole spirit of dress. And this IS
the first point to be carefully no
ticed and attained. A low, frli out
line is the one most generally sought
after. and attained quite easily by the
aid Of many clever frames and ad-
iustments provided A decidedly
Eastern effect is one of the most no
ticeable features In the new dress

OF these combinations are equally

These rich hats, are particularly
good from one standpoint. They may
be worn with almost any gown or cos

lasts for many seasons, in fact almost
indefinitely and may be used again
and again.
In millinery many cheap furs are
used that are about as effective as
more costly ones, but have not the
same durability. They are called by
the names OF sealskins which they are
made to initiate. and answer the pur
