These are some of the striking fea-
lures OF new styles for women, accord
ing to advices from Paris. Early re-
ports that colored hair would be fash
ionable were dlscredited, but now with
their first actual appearance at a big
social function In London-Mrs. George
Keppels dinner party for her daugh-
ter, Miss Violet Keppel-it is stated
that this eccentricity Of fashion has
come into wide favor abroad. Hair Of
every shade of the spectrum has re-
ceived London's o. X, and a few men
have been brave enough to act as pio-
neers for the wearing OF mems wigs OF
vivid colors.
Paris authorities on dress
that the styles which will prevail this
year will be a great variation from
those which were popular last year.
Grotesque Effect Of Tilted Hat.
The women OF Paris lately have been
covering their ears with their hair.
| The new hats tilted on one side, quite
covering the eye, makes the wearer
appear as If she has no ears and only
n eye.
AS to gowns, many full skirts are
included. Much brocade is used, too
heavy for the American spring climate.
There are minaret TUNES and evening
gowns I'm vivid colors with black lace
trimmings.
TUNES are long and iaring over mar
row lower skirts, on the same lines
as some of the aprons Of last season.
| There are Roman stripes and plaid
over solid colors.
The coats are long. cut away from
the hips and fiaring at the back.
Printed grapes and gabardines are used
for the majority Of the frocks and
suits. Thin frocks are made of linen
and poplin In calico designs. and Nea-
politan capes are a feature. With
evening gowns. transparent capes will
be worn.
One of the favorite color combina-
| tons is Spanish range with brown.
According to one authority on dress,
the general idea In the new fashions
is the 1880 style.
There is a tendency to Huffiness, and
the idea Of bouffancy has been used to
a greater degree than ever before.
Fan Shaped Skirts.
Later In the season, 1t Is believed,
there will be differences shown In
skirts. Sits have a tendency now to
stray around at the back instead OF
the front. Some of the skirts are made
with a fan shaped bottom, to give
what is called the tango" effect when
dancing.
Jackets are to be short and loose and
mostly Of silk. Roman stripes and
plaids combining plain colors will be
much used. There will be many
changing taffetas. some with gold or
silver handmade embroideries. Then
there is the spiral rep. which gives a
twisted effect.
Among the novelties are clasps and
buckles OF jade or lnpis lazuli In orien-
tai style and a peasant collar which Is
set away from the neck and Is made
OF organdie.
Bright colors seem to predominant In
everything. Most are tropical shades
tangerine, tango, lemon and lion.
A pompadour effect given by flowers
Is a new note that will conform to the
fashion Of powdering the hair In white.
The latter will be much in vogue In
America this season, as may also be
the extreme of high colored wigs just
