She said that an immense amount OF harm may be
done to delicate skin by net lace veil which lies
close against the face In the first place, the fragile

dull shades of red blue and green, and in front the
cein-ure was fastened by beautiful silver buckle.
The skirt was exaggeratedly short and full; it was
bo-d.r.d with opossum and it poised over a petit
coat made of navy blue velvet. Round the neck OF

which accompanied the costume was fashioned like

A very pretty novelty OF the present season Is the
long pointed wing covered very cleverly with rides
cent enamel varnish. Wings OF this kind are to be
seen on many of the latest models and they form
excellent trimming for winter wear, as the enamel
varnish does not easily spot in the rain.
In some cases thes. wings are used in pairs and
crossed on the front OF the hat crown Sometimes
only one wing appears and this is almost always made
to stick out at side in sunty fashion. The wings
are made in shades OF irdescent blue green gray and
brown.

pretty girl can adopt And toques OF this kind are
more fashionable than this winter.
Some of the attractive models are made OF
mink, with jelly bag crown OF nut brown velvet
and little bunch of Parma vioets nestled into the soft
fur at one side the front
Another style of fur toque is very like, though the
form is modified the cap by Russian peasants
This toque is delightful when made entirely OF mus
ouash or mink, and the only trimming needed is a
long Quill at one side or short brush sigrete, made
OF horsehar and held in place by paste or jet clasp
Todues bordered with fitch in the natural tint are
also popular; indeed fitch is having all its own way
this winter 1t is quite the most popular OF the less
expensive furs In Paris they making delightful
little neckties OF ftch-one skin in each tie and fussy

Utter simplicity marks many OF these new youthful
hats They have band about the crown, tiny ribbon

often nothing else The under brim, long in shape as
are the new ones of dark blue straw. The upper
part and the sides OF the were OF dark brown
