If of American origin there is variety enough to assure one that American designers do not lack initiative or good taste, Large hats are increasing their popularity. Milliners assure us that they will soon equal the smaller shapes in public favor. Hats suggest- ing the Gainsborough, with its sweep- ing, gracetul lines, large sailors and many showing flaring brims varying in width are triumphing among those models designed for dressy or evening wear. Many of these are in black with simple but brilliant garnitures in fancy ostrich or metallic trimmings. Fur plays a conspicuous part in shapes, both large and small. Black and dark rich tones of brown, green, blue, purple, and occasionally the deepest of reds, make ideal back- grounds for the posing of the brilliant | trimmings of the season. Silver and gold braids and ornaments, jets, fancy ostrich and ribbons, many fancy feathers, and curious flowers, which suggest mother-of-pearl and metallic effects, combined with silk and velvet, promise a season unsurpassed in beau- tiful millinery. Three pretty models shown, in the HE classic hairdress of the Greeks That goes without saying. It reap- pears perennially, each time to com- mand our admiration. Fair women of today adopt it and adapt it to their requirements. They will look long before they discover,anything in coif- ! fures so beautiful and so dignified. But the classic coiffure is not for everyone, although it comes as near to being universally becoming as any so far discovered. It requires a cer- tain “balance” in the face of the wearer. Certain types require more piquant arrangements. However, it is worth while to experiment with the Greek coiffure and to use it occasion- ally by way of variety and to match up with correspondingly beautiful and dignified gowning. To dress the hair as shown in the picture is not difficult if the hair is in the right condition. It muset be fluffy. This can be managed, if the hair is perfectly clean, by dampening it slightly and braiding it in small, ltlght braids or crimping it by some other means. The front hair is parted off, while !the back is brought up to the crown | and tied to hold it there. The front | hair is then combed back and pinned | at the sides and on top near the i ecrown. The bands are then adjusted about the head to hold the front hair in place. In the picture given here the back hatr is shown rolled into long pufts and pinned dawn in a small flat chignon. This is as good an ar- | A Classic and a New Coiffure . picture given here are examples of graceful, well-fitting and tasteful semi- dress hats. They are designed with reference to the styles in afternoon gowns of cloth and are fine types of the “all-around” trimmed hats. That is, they do service with a variety of toilettes. A close-fitting turban of velvet is shown which serves to support a band and wing ornament made of feathers. This particular band emphasizes the vogue for fancy feathers. There #re many varieties, from narrow collars of brilliant foliage to those as large as that pictured in quieter plumage. Spanish coque, pheasant, and pea- cock plumage are those best liked. The second hat is a turban of black velvet with brim widened at the left. It is bound with silver braid and trimmed with a single plume of white ostrich. The clever mounting of the plume is worth studying. The stem is wound with silver braid and the point in the left brim is included in this winding. This is a delightful hat, which will harmonize with almost any costume, A hat in deepest violet is shown, having a velvet brim and crown of brocade in which glints of silver ap- pear. In this, too, the brim widens at the left side toward the back. A bow of rich moire ribbon at the back and a silver filigree rose and foliage at the front make this an enviable model of quiet elegance. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. The rangement as the knot or coil. needs no extolling of its beauty.|ends of the front hair serve for two of the required puffs, The second coiffure pictured is strictly up-to-the-minute. It is beau- tifully finished-looking and among those variations of the casque mode which is destined to remain in vogue. It requires careful waving of all the hair. After the hair has been waved it is combed toward the top of the head and arranged in a long French twist. By pulling the twist forward the hair is brought down at the center of the forehead. A shallow part is made at the left side and the hair pinned into position with small invisible wire pins. Long combs, made for the purpose, are thrust into the head where the hair {8 turned under into the twist. The coiffure i¢ a failure when the twist is hard and rigid looking. It must be soft looking and merge into the rest of the hair. All short locks about the face are to be curled and pinned down, as neatness is the main requirement in this particular style.

The blouse arranged in fancy cream net had a narrow fold of black velvet defining the V-shaped decoHetage, to- gether with a plisse frill of delicate ivory tulle, while at the back, from beneath the sash, there fell a short, full basque of the net.
