HATS WORN ON SIDE OF HEAD
Women Of Paris Take Up Notion of
Actress-Evenlna Dresses for Girls
Are Being Made Distinctly
Greuze in Their Outline.

PARlS.-In Paris there is distinct
tendency toward reviving the styles
which were in vogue when Vatican
painted beautiful women. One finds
this tendency in connection with mil
inery as well as dress.
The leading Partisan milliners are
showing models which are distinctly
Watteau-small, very coquettish. and
intended to be worn very much on
the side OF the head; IN fact so much
on one side that it seems as though
they must fall of. One of the pref
test actresses in Paris recently made
a sensation on the stage by appearing
with her beautiful hair swept off her
forehead and with little Vatican hat
perched on one side OF her head. The
hat was made Of dark blue velvet and
trimmed at the upturned side with
two high. very harrow wings.
The effect was startling. One side
OF the forehead was absolutely bare

seemed like the forehead of a Botti-
Celli model At first every one was
inclined 10 smile, but little by little
the charm worked. Before the eve
ming came to an end great many
fashionable women had reached the
conclusion that the exaggerated Wat
teau type was full of distinction.
But even outside this Vatican craze
it becomes more and more the fashion
to wear the new velvet hats with
turned up brims very much on the
side of the head In the accompany
ing sketch there is no real exaggera-
ton; the model represented might be
worn by a woman of the most refined
taste, but the change of outline is
cleverly indicated Six months ago
every woman of fashion was wearing
her hat TANNED down on her head.
forehead and hair being almost en-
tirely hidden We are rapidly getting
away from that style, though it is still
in favor with the majority.
For Ordinary Wear.
Some OF the new evening dresses
for girls are distinctly Greuze in out
line. There are the dainty fiounces
OF filmy lace and panniers of flow
cred silk, the latter being confined
at the waist by a shaped sash which
molds the figure. An exquisite model
recently created by Premet had short
flounced skirt composed of beautiful
old lace and quaint panniers of Louis
Ky broche silk. These panniers were
gathered at the waist and skillfully
draped over the hips; in front they ran

made of broche silk. Over the shout
ders there was demure little ichu
of lace and the short sleeves were
finished with frills OF the same ma
terial.
Il really looked like a fancy dress
tall costume, but it was intended for
ordinary evening wear. Premet is al
ways in the first row where affairs
OF fashion are concerned. When
new style is launched by this firm
it is worth while to pay attention.
Some of the best Partisan dress
makers are introducing curious com

panniers being rather fiat and the
TUNES distinctly Persian in outline.
have seen this style exploited with
considerable success. For instance, a
dinner gown OF orange colored char

train.
On the draped fronts of this skirt
there were some fine Japanese en-

Exasgeratediy High Hair.
The very latest style OF hairdressing
is exaggeratedly high This change
has been Indicated in several recent
sketches but In Paris they are rapidly
approaching extraordinarily exagger-
ated styles. l have already seen on
the Partisan stage headdresses which
we're almost as extraordinary In out

the forehead and pulled out over I'm

worn by the Engssh guards. They
were curious; almost comiczl, and yet

correct thing is 10 leave the forehead
