The New Tulle Scarf.


The sort of scarf that is smartest at
the moment, by the way, is the wisp of
silk net or tulle that is worn in the
evening. The tulle is of all sorts of
bright colors. chosen to harmonic with
ones different evening frocks. With
rose frock. rose tulle is worn. With
a mauve frock the tulle might be
mauve or it might be golden yellow.
AS it is not expensive, different
length of tulle is used with each frock.
Two yards for each scarf is cut off
and the ends are left raw.
AS for the wearing of the scarfs,
they are wrapped high about the
throat. sometimes, to form a high.

Then there are net scarfs covered
with spangles and bordersd with them
and all these scarfs are suggestive

more stately Velasquez portrait.
Again the Fan.
Fans, like scarfs, are another fem
mime Spanish vile that are returning
to fashion.
The shops are already full of them,
some of regulation Spanish type, and
many others of every imaginable sort.
One new fan is made of white ostrich
feathers held fatty against the frame,
with their little curled tips fiuffing
softly all over the fan. The long
handle is of polished wood, with a
small rosette at the base Of the fan, of
silk. in vivid colors.
Another is long-handled fan of pea
cock feathers. in natural colors. The
handle is of pure yellow tortoise shell,
set with rhinestones.
A third fan is of quilts. with little
decoration of wool embroidery worked
on them, and sticks of tortoise shell.

Combs for the hair have been re-

They are not all Of true Spanish

Then there are earrings. There have
been earrings for several years, to be

Reddy Fox found the meat tina.

NEW FASHION IDEAS
COME FROM SPAIN

1t is to Spain that the Paris dress
makers have turned for inspiration.
And for this we ought to be thankful.
For if the Spanish influence is not
too much altered in the borrowing. 1t
ought to be one of the most virile notes
that has been struck for long time in
the world of fashion.
There have been evidences in the
clothes that have already reached this
country of the working of the Spanish
motif; and it is supposed that the
French openings, soon to occur. will
show the strongest sort of influence OF
Spain of the time of Velasquez. or
course, bits of Spanish fashion of other
days will appear, too. and all will be
blended as only the great designers can
blend a dozen and one different influ-
ences to make an effective whole.
Lace, of course, must be in fashion II
Spanish ideas rule. For Spain has ever
been the land where the correct use of
lace for feminine adornment was un-
derstood. Spain, too, is the homeland
of the scarf-that charming adjunct to
feminine apparel that has been rather
neglected for several seasons. So we
have already before US in the smart
shops a most interesting display of
lace ScarfS, and smart women every
where are learning. before their mir
rors. to adjust these same scarfs most

Wings Like Aeroplanes.
wings is made more unique by the
manner in which the edges of wings are
now shaped. This irregular outline
takes away from the sharp severity of
a hat; ii makes it bit more wearable;
but before adopting any of these fash
ions a woman should make sure that
her face is small enough and soft
enough to stand their harshness. This
advice will be thrown away probably,
because women take to wings as they
take to sequins. Ribbon is more mall
