Picturesque Bandeau
Adorns Milady's Tresses

The bandeau is now, as usual, in
the fashionable costume as the neck
lace or the fan. Novelties are shown
almost weekly. Some of the new
bandeaux for evening dress are pic
turesque in the extreme. They have a
fairy princess" look, and are Of suffi-
cient significance in design to form
an important item of dress. The me-
tallic note is used in bandeauX in a
decorative and becoming manner. A
slender fillet of tinSel ribbon, lightly
wired, is the frame for row of bios
SONS, ordinarily single roses, sewn on

made Of metallic cloth, very sheer;
gold, silver or tinted, or of metalized
ribbon in some flower shade. They are
conventionalized. with no attempt at
blossom, and are appliqued fiat. The
fillet ends are tied in a little bow at
the back Of the couture
Other regal bandeaux are formed
Of pearls, sometimes combined with
brilliants, in designs that reproduce
the diadems of royalty. They are al
most as impressive. Some are wide
and rather ponderOus, although made
Of imitation jewels on the slenderest
foundation, with exceedingly delicate
workmanship, fiashy in effect. Very
different are those bandeaux of very
small silk flowers, sewn on a single
narrow silver tinsel ribbon, or the
single row of pearls or brilliants. Each
of these is fashioned to fit a certain
style of head dress and costume. The
tiara is for the formal couture and
the plain band for the various 'bobs."
Some bandeaux Of metalized gauze or
ribbon or jewel-sprinkled tulle appear
like swathing bandages. For Occa-
sional daytime wear pretty silk scarves
are wound about in turban fashion and
bands Of needlework and passemen-
terie are seen on some chic bObbed
heads. Fancy combs are individual
and some lovely, enormous ones of
Spanish origin are worn with period
gowns.

Scarf to Match New Bag
With Drawstring Top

A hand-woven bag with drawstring
top and scarf to match is shown for
winter sports. The long scarfs with
long fringed ends come in all the new
colors and combinations. The bags
are light and large enough to carry
the necessary articles. Because they
may be hung on the wrist they are
preferred as a sports adjunct. Bags
carried in the hand get in the way
and make it necessary to expose the
hands. To give an added touch of
color a bright contrasting motif is
woven in silk on one side Of the bag.
Sports frocks with tailored neck and
sleeves call for special cuff links this
season. Fancy enamels and chased
gold are discarded for the jeweied SET
For sports outfits, in all the new colors,
nothing could be more appropriate

centers, emeralds, tOpazes, amethysts

Coat Of Crocheted Silk
Is Used in Many Ways

A brilliantly colored novelty coat of
crocheted silk has many uses. 1t may
be worn over light dresses, and also
in the house as a lounging robe. It
has no lining, trimming, buttons or
bindings, only a short narrow collar
Of grosgrain ribbon in neutral shade
of beige. Straight lines and a wrap
around effect comprise the silhouette.
The color scheme is the important fea-
ture of the coat. Modern art is the
theme, depicted in vi,Sl floral designs
on what appears to be a futuristic
background.
