By Mme. Frances The Famous Creator of Fashions E headdress is a very important feature of the evening toilette. The . popularity of the *'hohbed" coiffure and the dressing of the hair to simulate that effect even when the hair has not been cut has brought about a youthful sim. plicity in hairdressing and hair | ornaments, i A diamond bowknot fastened to the front of hair parted on the side is being worn by many of the debutantes, especially on bobbed hair. Older women also wear a bowknot or other small diamond ornament whete the part begins on the forehead whether the hair is dressed high or low, A Bacchante Suggestion Flat bandeaux spanning the front of the head and completed with small bunches of flowers over the ears are also very at- tractive. Even gold, silver or vivid col- ored grapes are used on metal ribbon or Jewel bandeaux with Bacchante suggestion that is very charming. Metallic turbans in eastern lines sprigged with the soft fronds of paradise are worn by many women, especially at the theatre and supper afterwards. These turbans are delightfully becoming and make exceedingly comfortable hats to dance in. With the all black 80WN, s0 popular, whether developed in lace or Jet or in net, a bandeau of jet is most often observed, though a filet of silver ribbon is sometimes seen with a black gown, especially if silver Appears as a trimming on the dress, A magenta band, held by purple, cerise and silver grapes, makes an effective headdress for wear with a black costume, Unless a woman strikes just right note in her hehddress leave beauty unadorned, especially if her coiffure is becoming. Elaborate heag. dresses make a woman appear older yn. less she has frankly reached the dowager age where certain ornamental headdregges give great dignity to an evening toilette, There is nothing more youthful than 5 'simple coiffure, and whereas the fresh radiance of youth is enhanced by a head. dress that is simple, it is she who walks the years between youth and middle age who must be wary of her headdress, - The Metal Turban The metal turban is extremely becom- ing to the aged woman, provided her face is not too round. The close turban that seems to hide nearly all the hair seems to 'add plumpness to the face, so Jook out for this if your face is full! An effective metal cloth turban is worn 2?

Tiny folds of gray charmeuse are set in a right angle design on the front and back of the blouse and on the tunic' The short sleeves and tunic are edged with chinchilla. A fine. milliner's wire is set in the minaret tunic to hold it out. This bodice and tunic gives the impression of being embroidered in silver in one piece. The girdle of char- meuse is faced with silver cloth and the ends are weighted with silver ornaments. Worn with silver slippers and silver gray stockings this gown with its silver headdress makes an exquisite costume for dinner, the theatre and the dance after. wards. A Black and White Gown The diamond bowknot that accents the parting of bobbed hair is illustrated on the girl in the white and black gown. Some- times these bowknots are rimmed with black enamel with good effect. This black and white gown is particularly striking, being made of white charmeuse and an in. teresting white lace that shows a black lace border threaded with white. ~The bodice of white charmeuse wraps becomingly around the figure, striking a bias line across the front that runs around almost to the waistline in the back and continues toward the front in the girdle that ends at the left side under a bow. knot and ends that display the black fac. ing. The bodice siiows a Furngver piece black charmeuse that gives impres.- sion of a facing. This black charmeuse continues into the girdle, giving & wonder. fully becoming line. Over the shoulders the lace is run 'in short kimono sleeves, With the white lace next to the neck and Vowmpupw Bute Servos. 1200 Black and White Lace Is Woven for the Tunic aad Sleeves. The Foundation Is of White Charmeuse. the black lace completing the edge of the sleeves. There is a draped skirt of ivory charmeuse, running in slight cascades around the front, starting at the left side. The tunic is unusual, being made of vary- ing depths of the lace which are set around the waist in separate sections. The split edges of the lace, instead of being picot fin- ished, are bound with white charmeuse, This costume is especially successful. A bandeau of black jet is worn with the picturesque black frock, made of jet- ted net embroidered in a distinctive pat- tern that carries festooned loops of black beads. The camisole bodice of black char. meéuse is quite low and the jetted net reaches to a point deceptively high be- cause the neck shows through the thin meshes of the net and the embroidery of black beads picks the pattern right out against the flash. In this dress there is a narrow dropskirt of charmeuse and over that a gathered skirt of plain net. The rounded panels of jetted net lie flat back and front. They are open &t the sides and full ruffles of net, graduated to nothing at the ) lower edge, Stain the bouffant line very effectively and are exceedingly grace. ful in dancing. Black satin slippers and sheer black stockings are worth with thie frock. The slippers may be the short vamp French last tied on the instep, or the slender long American vamp completed with a jet or rhinestone buckle. A Costume of Pink Charmeuse A delightfully girlish coiffure is bang. : ed with turquoise blue ribbon held by bunches of pink. roses shading to orchig and coral. The gown with which this headdress is worn is pink : slightly turning toward orchid, with g sj). ver sheep in its weave. The wrong side of the silk is darker than the right. The trimming of this lovely gown consists of ruching of the material, fringed out or rather raveled to form a fringe about one inch deep on either side of the ruchings which are gathered in the centre. A nar- row fold of coral colored charmeuse runs through the centre of the ruching. In this dress there is a straight cami. sole of the pink charmeuse reaching to the underarms. Over this on one side only is -draped a sleeveless little bodice of the ma- terial outlined with a ruche. The other shoulder carries a garland of roses like those in the hair, some of which match the dress in shade and others are coral, are not hand-made; but are roses, such as are used on hats, The skirt of this 80Wn is very attractive and shows an overdrapery of the material turned over at the hem. hings are run on the overdrapery and the girdle is orchid, geranium pink and turquoise biye, [ The Fashion F. orecast The round neckline running a little beyond the base of the neck on the shoulders will continae to fing favor in afternoon and street dresses for early spring wear One-Pifty-Siz West Forty-Sixth Street, New York L
