SAUCY WELLS.

One thing that will add charm to the
high crowned or brimless hats is the large
assortment of wells. Among these by the
way. is the short complexion variety
which the French woman has adopted for
her own. This veil terminates just below
the nose. on the girl with the retrousse
nose a covering of this sort is really clev-
er. OF course. the complexion veil is still
fashionable.
Not long ago women were compelled
TO adapt themselves as best they coulo
TO the hats, and many ,nartistic-even RI
diculous-sights were 10 be seen. But this
coming spring there promises to be so
many creations that any woman by N
telhgent selection, may increase the charm
Of her particular individuality.

AND ITS
POSSIBILITIES

once more there seems good reason TO
hone that lace may speedily come into
its own again, for on many of the Paris
evening gowns, prepared already for the
early spring season, founces, scarves and
draped tunics Of lace play prominent
part. In one model the chief charm lies
in the graceful and becoming way In
which it is draped. with two broad scarves
Of fine Alencon lace. The skirt is Of pale
pink crepe de chine, closely pleated at the
waist, and there is an underbodlce of
pink chiffon TO match, completely COW
cred by the ends of the lace scarf, which
cross the figure like fchu back and
front. and which are arranged also TO
form a short basque below a very narrow
waist belt, composed OF pink satin ribbon.
The two ends Of lace then pass over the
shoulders in the form Of sleeves. and
cross each other at the back, coming
around afterward to the front, where
they are Just lightly caught together,
across the pleats of pink crepe de chine.
As a good idea for utilizing those broad
lace scarves, so often given as wedding
presents. and not always adaptable as a
skirt trimming, this effective design is
worth remembering. IT might also solve
the problem as to the best way In which
to arrange heirloom scarves Of lace
which are sometimes very difficult to
drape satisfactorily, when it is out of the
question naturally that such precious
fabrics should be cut in any way, or even
sewn together more than is absolutely
necessary.
Fascinating tea gowns may be sue
cessfully arranged with long coats of
lace, which can be worn with complete
under-robes in soft silk. satin or crepe
de chine. These coats are useful alike
in white and in black, as well as in vari-
Gus shades Of ecru, and when they are
chosen in lace of a sufficiently substan-
tial kind they can be made to do duty
for several seasons, and can be worn in
turn over tea gowns Of various kinds.
Some Of the most effective of these coats
are boTdered with a finger width of dark
fur or Of mara bout, a distinctive touch
which brings them up 10 date and adds
not little 10 their attractive appear

charm I'm arranging her tresses, for the
French headdress has not always set on

driven to display initiative, at times very
effectively. However. the French styles

universally becoming.

HIGH COUTURE.
The high couture is very much on the
lines of the hairdressing in vogue in the
early eighteenth century, and therefore the
pictures Of the fair ladies Of those days
are being eagerly searched for sugges-
lions that can be modified for present
dav usage One mode that has been re-

the headdress favored by Mile de Fon-

For the woman who delights in French
knots It will be welcome news that mono
grams and initials in solid French knots
are now used. Old English letters, says

the idea is one which lends itself to
clever modification, and some very sue

Gar FRlLLs IN The 6OUDo;H
Dainty and Feminine Are the HUI
fles Just Now Being So Generously
Made Use OF.

AS ruffles become more and more
fashionable on feminine garb they be-
gin to make temperance in fem
mime boudoirs. Ruffled window cur
tains, bed-spreads and pillow covers
are replacing the straight bordered eff
fects of the last few years and MI
lady's room promises to become as
gayly frilled a sanctum as it was a
half century ago.
Ruled pillow cases are especially
dainty and feminine and they give the
final touch of luxury to the bed. If
one does not desire to sleep on the
beruffled pillows they may be ex-
changed at night for smaller pillows
in plain linen slips, or the ruffled slips
may be removed and put on again next
morning This takes but a moment II
the slip covers are roomy enough to
go over the pillow without tugging
Two or three snap buttons sewed
along the opening under the ruff1es
will hold the dainty covers smoothly
in place and may be unfastened IN
twinkling at night.
Rather narrow ruff1es give the best
effective and half inches should
be the limit of width-and the hens
should be very narrow also. Make
the ruffle full enough to be luted by
the laundress and the effect will be
very crisp and smart. Such pillow
covers should be square, rather than
oblong, and the pillow may be stuffed
into the square, the snap buttons
holding it in place. Of course the ruff
fles must go around all four sides of
each cover, and the bed thus dressed
will need no pillow shams, bolster roll
or other device to hide the sleeping
pillows from view.
