may be more or less wide, smartly
short, and coats are safely cut ON
straight or fiaring lines.
An attractive suit is pictured here
made of dark brown broadcloth of
silky finish and sheen. The skirt is
draped and further elaborated with q
pointed tunic. 1t is worn with waist
of deep cream-colored net and lace
The coat is quite an elaborate affair
when compared to the usual tailored
coat in cloth gowns. 1t is short at the
front and heightened at the back,
where the short portion is laid in a
wide flaring box plait. A straight
panel of the cloth finished with tassels
at each side falls from beneath turn
over collar inlaid with velvet.
The sleeves are roomy and set into
wide, turned-back cuffs finished with a
piping of velvet and covered buttons.
Two large buttons provide for the fast
ening at the front, in which the right
side oyerlaps the left.
This is an excellent model for .
dress which is to do service both as
a street and visiting toilette, and is
equally charming for either.

IN coiffures. as in other things, this is
= the day of some uncertainty. The
diminutive demi-season hats, many of
them merely elongated caps, called for
nothing in the way of hairdressing ex-
cept small fringe of curly locks about
the brow. Their day is waning and
larger hats are replacing them. Just
now those on the sailor order (and
these are legion). and shapes with
curving and rolling brims indicate that
more attention must be given to the
coiffure, since more of it is in evil
dence when these brimmed hats are
worn.
A coiffure designed for the opera
and without reference to millinery is
shown here. 1t is made up of waves,
a coil and many short light curls, and
designed to show the art of the hair
dresser, which must make the opera
coiffure take the place of the art Of
the milliner. since hats are forbidden.
The hair is waved about the face
and neck for this coiffure, and parted
at one side. The waves lie close to
the head and are evenly and neatly
arranged.
The remainder Of the hair is brought
up to the crown and arranged in a
coil which forms a foundation for the
short, soft curls that distinguish the
opera couture. These curls are pinned

They are very light and easily ad-
justed and they stay curled. Their
use makes the dressing of this couture
an easy matter when compared to
dressing coiffure in which strands of
the natural hair must be curled
Narrow bands of small pearl beads
are used as a finish, wound twice
about. the head, in the style of the
classic Greek hairdress. Bands of this
kind. sometimes strands of rhine
stones or narrow bands of plain velvet
ribbon, look better than any, other
kind OF ornament in their elaborately
curled cciffures.
The pinned-in curls come in short
lengths and are easily arranged into
puffs or fastened in so that only very
short curls, or rather ringlets, peep
out from the curls or puffs into which
the back hair is arranged.
