HEAD-DRESS IN NEW STYLE

Parisian Milliners Have Evolved ■ Variety of Evening Caps—Aigrettes Not the Real Thing.

Parisian millinery also includes a. variety of evening caps or headdresses. which, while they do not obviate the necessity for a quantity of hair, certainly hide the greater part of the coiffure. Some are mere hollow upright bands, twb or three inches in depth, covered with gold embroidery but without a crown. Others have soft silk or transparent crowns that cap the head softly. One such is of silver tulle with a' band of gold and silver lace. Ai the ljgft side, droopover the hair J jet behind the ears is a big blusb-rosP.

These head-d r esses are not reserved for the opera cr theater, be it understood. but are to be worn with dancing frocks as well, with which they are very coquettish. Some are like skull caps of gauze, studded all over with the tiniest of baby roses. An occasional cap of this sort shows an aigrette or sparkling ornament at the side, tipped with diamond dust or with gold powder. y Let me Add, for the reassuring of bird-lovers, that the smallest possible percentage of the so-called aigrettes are the real thing. Rather they arc skilfully contrived out of the stems of discarded feathers which otherwise would go to waste. —Harper’s Bazar
