Odd I’limiga Worn by Women. Americans are appropriating by degrees the'fondness of European women for supplementing their coiffures with decorations of feathers, ribbons or jewels. Well arranged coils of hair may be a very pretty thing, but the exigencies of an evening toilet demand that something more elaborate and fanciful shall overtop them. It was with the most dressy of evening gowns that the headdress described here was recently worn. It is now acknowledged to be absolutely the latest and most correct adornment for evening coiffures. Highstanding plumes, drooping flowers, and masses of jewels are out of date beside this very striking novelty. It is composed simply of two long, • heavy aigrettes, caught by a knot and bow of velvet, both being of a color to harmonize with the gown. The velvet knot is cleverly designed to give height to the coiffure, while the drooping aigrettes form a complete frame for the face. No evening gown will now be complete without its accompaniment of soft plumage for the wearer’s head.
