Peculiarly Daring Combination

THE attractiveness of this most daring evening gown, one of the recent triumphs of Paquin, is accentuated by the Marie Antoinette albino wig. The wearing of colored wigs has not been taken up with any degree of favor by the leaders of fashion in Paris, but some undeniably beautiful effects have been achieved in this direction under the guidance of such modistes of genius as Paquin. Not for many seasons has such elaborate attention been paid to the coiffure as is now in evidence. Most of the designs are of real beauty, and nothing seems too daring for the costumer to attempt. Odd shapes and brilliant colors in long scarfs of gold or silver tissue are wound once or twice around the head and caught in the most becoming way with beads; rhinestones, pearls, etc.,

and are worn low to the top of the forehead with hair below. Cap-shaped bands are of pearls, rhinestones or imitation aigrettes in front. Geld and silver cords are the simplest of bandeaux. Velvet bandeaux are overlaid with a tiny band of rhinestones or iridescent jet. Bandeaux are also formed of spangles. A platinum band in three rows, set with jet and rhinestones, has a fluffy group bf white feathers on the left. A band of jet sequins, closely overlapped, is clasped on the left with an outspread jet butterfly of wire covered with spangles, with three white feathers above. A close turban cap of net, embroidered in Chinese design and worn pulled down, shows only a fringe of hair. Pink satin apple talossoms form a bunch on the left of the coiffure below soft feathers of the same pink hue.
