Novor In tlir history of fashion during rocent yea is has tlir.ro hcon no brtlltunt nn array And tho nit of tlio Idea Is that whin a bright color Is chosen It Is left thoro olono to ilo tho work by ltsel! and no other rolnr Is uddeil to tak' any of tho spotlight away from tin estahllHhed color noto. Tho leaded drens In tho Illustration Is nn apt example, of this Idea- - It is mnilo of the most vivid of green all -- ono of those Jndis tonus thnt shines out In a roomful of pooplo und Is hi, becoming when It Is worn by tho glil who can carry oil that shade, beading, then.

' You can use your imagination lu realize how bright and beautiful thi gown in greou can bu. It is ono long, strulght tone witli just spurkla cnoug.i to glvo It variety and not enough to ho called ornate. It Is a slnmlo enough gown, with only its color and Its crystal heading to mark Its Interest and its meaning. Ruff lings of Tulle. Tullo nifties, this season, nro don in narrow widths and in great Quan- tities. Thoy aro used to mako thi dresses of tho bouffant type whore only layors of flounces can bo loft to tell tho spread out fashion and still keep tho character ot the lightness and f lufflness which that sort of gown demands. Ho often when a skill Is nuffod out it becomes a cumbersome C thing Hut when tullo Is tho material used In its making thoro can novor bo placod any aerusatlon of heaviness of appearance. In tho plctrtiro thero is u veritable dress of a Hhophordess. It la tnado ot brightly dyed teilso tulle, and the dozens of tiny rufflings lhat nro used in tho making of tho skirt glvo thut look of freshness and charm which Is qulto tho most appaient feature of tho whole gown. With tulle, us with nil of, tho other materials used In the construction of evening gowns, color is tho factor. It is always bright und lnstieful. It keeps ono tono throughout tho design of tho gown, und Its wearer stands out is an ex pression of that Joyous noto of shnd- - ,nff which sho happens to h.ive chosen fr licr own. 4 ? 1 i's-.-- '4 \ . fir fir r 1 W' 'St i.; .r? 4' TOP OF PAGE.

That, at least. Is what tho ultra smurt womon are doing. Gone aro tho curls nnd fluffs about the faco.

The pictures of headdresses on this page Bhow tho manner In which lt is being done. Thoro aro more ears than over e. Thero aro more foreheads to bo seen. In short, the girls of tho smart set havo tried to show, lt seems, all that they can of their features In- stead of hiding as much as thoy could manage to do. If you have an In- tellectual forohend, why show 11. Now Is your chance. If your earn aro pretty nnd an asset to the modelling o? your face, why show them too, by all means. You can't bo called queer any moro becauso you do these things. No, you are right In lino with tho latest fashion nnd what Btnart hair drcBsers havo decreed to be correct.

Whatever ndds to tho of the line can be tho ending of tho severely brushed locks. Now, nil of this now idea In hair arrangement has a deeper meaning than might appoar to tho casual eye. For the display of earrings and hcud ornaments, for the better showing off of carved nnd ornamental combs, this nub fixing has everything In Its lavor. And you know that theso deco- rations nre ns much n part of tho modern evening dress nn any ono fea- ture of the dress itself. An evening gown of the present day Is as nothing without Its apportionment of head dressing, and when you take the plain hair and add to it tho fancy ornament you hnvn an effect which Is not only decidedly now but which curries ulong 7T- Winslow. with It u great ileal ol the leeling of present day atmosphere. Knrrlngn can be long, as long when they aro ndded to the soverlty of a classic manner of hair fixing. They can be colorful nnd fancifully carved without looking as though too much had been added to the general fancl fulness of the scheme. And, If you vlow any gathering of women, you will see how great Is tho tendency to wear theso gaudy and brilliantly con celved earrings. All tho time the; are seen In greater numbers, not s much as u decoration of character. but now thoy aro appearing In th handsomest of platinum settings wit Jewels of price beyond mention Often the whole color scheme of thi gown, not to mention the design, li sot by the earrings, and when the! droop from the limits of an unconv promising headdross they aro parties lnrly fascinating, and they take theli placo In tho scheme of tho whole de sign with an accent that would nol otherwise bo possible.
