HE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE MAGAZINE PA Tre New MEap-Dresses By LAby Durr Gorpon Above Is an Unusual ‘but Effective Head-Dress of Poster-y Effect: for Strect Wear—But Sparingly. On the Right Is a Curious and Interesting Type of Head-Dyess, With Visor, Suitable Only for Little, Extraordinary Occasions, Below Is a Charming Head-Dress for. Evening Wear, Along the New Lines. ADY DUFF:GORDON, the famow “Lucile® of London, and foremost creator L of fashions in the world, writes each week the fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women, Lady Duff-Gordon's Paris establishment brings her into close touch with that centre of fashion, Lady Duffi-Gordon's American establishments are at Nos. 37 and 39 Went Fifty- weventh street, New York, and No. 1400 Lake Shore Drive, Chicago. By Lady Duff-Gordon “LUCILE” HAVE often said that it ie just as pos- sible to dress.the hair 8s it is to dress the body. And it is even a little more difficult because nature made the halr itself as & head-dress, All we can do is to harmonize with nature's gift or to use it as part of 8 scheme of decoration. The fault you must avold is exaggeration, and yet sometimes the truest beauty lies in exag- geration. 1t is intelligent to exaggerate—if it is done intelligently. It raises things out of the commonplace. It gives them the aspect of interest that they ought to have. It is imagination. ,And intelligent Imaginative éxaggeration s the highest truth. Who can say that because a thing or a fact appears in one way to a million dull eyes, and be- “cause one bright pair of eyes sees it differ- ently, that the million are right and the one 8 wrong? Personally. I think that the million are wrong and the one is right. The picture in the upper left-hand corner is an example of intelligent imaginative ex- aggeration. It is really a hat and head-dress combined. The big, plcturesque plumes carry out the note of the furs. They are an efflorescence of femininity. They are defi- ant and yet coquettish. Above all, they are pleturesque. 1 would not advise such & hat—head-dress—for dally use. But now and then it would harmonize with an occa- sion or a mood. And, as I have said before, we ought, if we can afford them, to have a dress for every mood. The large picture shows a very interest- ing’ combination of head-dress and visor. It, too, is unusual and for unusual occasions. It is an experiment, but in it lie the germs of many a charming idea. And, finally, below we have a perfectly proper but picturesque head-dress for even: ing wear, Here, then, are three types of new head<resses well worth your study. And they are well worth adaptation or sim- plifying in any way that harmonizes with your wish or taste Copyright. 1916. by the Siar CAmnany. Great Britals “Lucile” Models. w
