Leaves in the Hair.

It is eminently correct to wear leaves in one’s hair, and apparently many women are forsaking their tiaras and crowns for simple green leaves. At the debutante dance of December these small chaplets were extremely popular and Mrs. John Jacob Astor has been seen with her brown hair clasped by white leaves, tipped with brilliants. The jewelers who followed closely the approval of the fashionable women are manufacturing silver and enameled leaves, but the simpler silk bits of trimming are in better taste. Flowers pre not worn in the hair this winter, although the holiday season brought forth the use of holly, and, with some women, sprigs of mistletoe. Begonias are enjoying popularity this year and some headdresses are made gay with these waxy flowers. Pink, however, is not used this year and begonias suffer in consequence.—New York Press.
