Silk Net In Orchid coIors.

silk net In orchid colOrs Is again in
PRODUCED for evening gowns. 1t does
not appeal to the world as anything
original but women are eagerly accept
ing gowns of 1t when they present n
combination of six or seven cOlors OF
tulle arranged in panels or superim-
posed in layers. New dance gowns,
however, are of silk net arranged in
voluminOus drapery over excessively
narrow satin skirts. One of the sue
cessful gowns Is of white tulle over
pale yellow satin, with the barrel eff
feet got through puffs of tulle which
support immense, but fragile, pockets
of yellow crystal beads which are sup
ported from the shoulders by neck
laces of the same beads, giving almost
the effect of the baskets IS flowers and
fruit carried by the Italians, which are
swung from their shoulders with gayly
cOlored ribbons.

COUTURE TO SUIT FEATURES
individuality In Hairdressine Is Be.
coming More Pronounced-Modi-
fled casque New Style.

Individuality in Embarrassing grows
more pronounced. Some really artistic
coiffurcs. enough on present lines not
to look odd. are curiou1ly In character
with the faces they frame. If a girl
has one or two slightly eastern fen-
lures. she seeks To acccntuate them.
Has she large. dark eyes, Il Spanish
comb matches up. No longer is the
Marcel wave kept In its pristine Sc
verify. One has the hair waved. to
he sure. then proceeds to comb 1t out
Just enough to lose the artificiality.
There Is no henddrcss newer than
the modified casque. rising bit higher
on the top of the head rs 1t Is drawn
toward the back. The tendency to n
thin waved forehead fringe and to
little tcndrils which wave into curls In
front of the ears Is an addition to the
Embarrassing of those who go In for
more elaborate coiifures. These are
so unaccentuatcd that they are not
noticeable ut n little distance. They
are very far from the exaggerated
curves of hair sometimes seen, and
serve to soften the face and also to
show Il bit of hair below the hat
crowns, which are pulled so far down
over the forehead.

A blouse of black georgette crepe
over IN underblouse of white crepe Is
an elegant and mutronly model. de-
signed especially for elderly women.
1t is made with the popular epaulette
shoulders. to which the back and front
are gathered and joined with hem
stitching. The front of the blouse Is
prettily embroidered with u scroll pat
tern In black silk floss and above this
an outline pattern In black beads adds
style feature Of the season to Its
attractions.
The sleeves are plain, finished NJ the
wrist with two tucks, and they are cut
short enough to allow the sleeves of
the undcrblOusc tn extend three inches
beyond them. This brings n deep culf
of the soft, white crepe well over the
hand and corresponds with the treat
ment of the neck. II Is much more be-
coming than unrelieved black mt the
throat and wrists.

PAPAL HAT Is NEW DESIGN
erim 10 Cut Into Two High Points In
Front and Back-Tendeney Shown
Toward Exposing the Hair.

The papal hat. called the inter, has
been launched In Paris. 1t fits the head
snugly and the brim Is cut into two
high points of even height, back and
front. One Is In Vatican purple satin,
heavily embroidered In OXidiZed silver
thread: another Is In black satin, en-
brOidered In dull gold threads, with a
fiat bit of ruby-cOlOrcd velvet embrOid.
cred In the front brim.
All-white hats have been launched
for the early spring season. High
shapes of white straw, trimmed with
irregular groupings of stiff white wings
are favOritcs. White satin hats
trimmed with black wings have moder-
ately wide Trims.
All hats are worn straight across
the eyebrows; the tilt has almost dis
appeared. The headband Is small and
shows the hair ut sides and back. The
new millinery shows tendency to-
ward exposing the hair, after seasons
Of covering 1t.
Gold and OXldlzed lace Is arranged In
butterflies and bows on evening hats.
The wearing Of n picture hat with a
low gown at a public place In the eve
ming has returned to fashion.
Sport hats are made of cOlOred felt
with rough surface, trimmed with a
crOss-stitch In black wOrsted thread
usually running up the high crown In
straight lines.
Stiff wings are taken up by the mil
liners for high turbans.

Although Easter comes early this
year midsummer millinery has been
FULLY launched, rs the group of lovely
hats shown above will indicate. Mil
liners must anticipate the needs of
their patrons long before they are
actually pressing, so that spring styles
make their advent while the snow
flies and those for summer arrive with
the early spring. 1t Is wise woman
who makes her choice early--for the
first hats are really the best hats. The
summer outfit in headwenr might as
well be bought at the beginning of the
season as later.
An outfit in hats will include tai
lored model for street wear sport
hat and a dress hat, anyway, and may
be supplemented with II special hat
for motoring. The tailored hat Is re-
lied upon for early wear and Is al
ways In the vanguard of new season
millinery.
Many of the styles for midsummer
are very wide brimmed and many of
them are of lacy materials. Swiss
hair braid, mallnes, chiffon and lace,
in combination with straw braid, or
worked up without them, make up
these airy models. Workmanship on
them is difficult and exquisite and
women who demand the best in mil
llnery art must be willing to pay for
the patient labor required To produce
Il. Since this is all done by sister
wen en-, the high price of high-class
millinery will not be begrudged.

Mendinq Neatly.

Always mend your stockings on the
wrong side. and do not begin too close
To the hole. Use small stitches and
ut the end of each line leave n loop
which will allow for shrinking. Make
each line of stitches a little longer
than the preceding line until you reach
the center of the hole, when the num-
Der of stitches should be decreased. In
this manner you will have n diamond
shaped darn. Pass your needle under
and through the frayed loops of the
stocking and bring them to the wrong
side. If done correctly nothing should
show on the right side of the stock
ing but the woven stitches of the darn.

sands OF Needleworkers

There is rumor that France and
america in combination will present
rbhon Us substitute for embroidery.
Il is possible that America is the Ia
:her tn this thought. The manufacture
ers in this country have ardently
wished for definite fashions from Paris
that would feature miles of ribbon
used in any way possible to cover the
surface of clothes. The demand for
.ibbon has been worked up in Paris
TO some extent through American OK
porterS who represented factories that
could turn out ribbon in this country,
but 50 far all attempts have failed to
produce Il real call for this kind of
ornamentation.
France is the land of embroidery.
Her women know how to do 1t. and
they ask little for doing It. As long
as Paris keeps embroidery in fashion

work Is expensive. Therefore our dress
makers and shopkeepers do not want

mills would like ribbon to he used by

The Americans say that this latter
will be done before the spring Is over

quite marvellous ribbons copied from
antique designs, usually with gnrlands
of roses printed on colored silk. There
are also gold stripes ut the edges OF
colored ribbon, with roses printed OF
the gold.
