She may find the inted crown of the empire suited to her face or prefer instead, like Cleopatira, to place a diadem upon her brow. Few of the all around crowns are seen, and one of the handsomest of these is worn by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. Lifted back from the soft pompadour it quite covers the ton of her head, fitting over the high knot of fair hair. The de- sign, fleur de lis, studded solidly with dia- monds, is somewhat higher in front, slop- ing gradually at the sides, and the tips curve gracefully outward. The ecrown has nothing of the tiara effect, as it is quite as high at the back as on the sides, and even from the front there is no mis~ taking this royal looking ornament. Of quite a different style is the tiara sometimes seen upon the dark hair of Mrs. Clarence Mackay. Rather high and not diminishing at the -sides, this glitter- ing band of diamonds only half encircles her head. Large turquoises tip the points of this very beautiful jeweled ‘ornament, Mrs, George Gould owns a magnificent crown like decoration, broader in effect than a tiara and quite high at the sides, though it does pot go entirely around her head. Studded with exquisitely cut dda- monds, there are upsfanding diamond in- crusted prongs, each tipped with a large and costly gem, Mrs, Drexel is the possessor of a head ornament resembling a crown in that it nearly encircles the head, though instead of paseing stralght around it curves downward at the sides.

The tiaras worn by women of fashion, each alone a thing of beauty and bril- liancy, dwindle into apparent insignifi- cance when the eye is confronted by these more elaborate crowns, yet many of these smaller ornaments are exquisite- ly designed and extremely becoming. Mrs. Vanderbilt’s Crown. Mrs, Alfred Vanderbilt wears one, a pointed tiara of beautiful diamonds, with one stone of unusual size at the very point of the center. Ancther quite worthy of being men- tioned in the same category with these famous and magnificent crowns fs a hand- some affair designed in sparkling curves and delicately wrought leaves, while the top displays several very fine emeralds of remarkable size. Pearls, too, are considered very fashion- able for such ornaments, though seldom are they seen unless combined with glit- tering gems.

The exquisitely wrought band was thickly studded with diamonds, while pink tinted fresh water pearls were woven in with the elaborate pattern. Rising from a regal looking forehead was 2 curlous small crown, the stralght part resting on the halr being fashioned in an odd design of overlapping circles. Pigeon blood rubles marked the centers of these glittering curves and formed the tops of the surmounting prongs. It is said that some of the young mat- rons have a coquettish way of tilting thelr crowns just a wee bit to one side; not enough, of course, to produce a rakish effect, which would certainly spoil their appearance, but to give an alr of individ- uality. ; Tiaras, however, must be worn Wwith mathematical accuracy, and with the soft, full pompadour of the fashionable coiffure and the low knot somewhat far off the forehead, the tiara naturallj follows these lines and rests on the very top of the head, The sides fall a trifie lower, which R, WORN WITH A POINTS ENCIRCLING HEAD 16 THE HANDOOMES T QF ALL 9, 000003002 000008000000003d¢CGAEC@310, & QO 9573909, ) d, D tX EEOIDOOOOR @ Q.
