The dignified nnd picturesque cos
tume of black taffeta and chantllly
lace, worn with a poke bonnet shape
of Usenet braid, was designed for an
older woman than the model on which
it is pictured. But the design is ono
of those that appeal to the matron of
elegant and reserved taste even if
youth still smiles from her eyes.
A wide chantilly lace veils the un
derskirt in three scant flounces, the
luster of taffeta proving the best of
backgrounds for the fine net and In
tricate pattern in the lace. A short
panel of the silk, at the front and back
of the bodice is extended into a
crushed glrdlo about the figure, fas
tening at the right side under flat but
tons of cut jet. Dut the details of
this particular combination are not
so important as the suggestion it car
ries for the use of lace and taffeta
in combination for black gowns. There
are many good styles which may bo
followed with splendid results in mak
ing up equally smart nnd dignified
and dressy costumed, ,
Just the headwear for such a gown
has been chosen hero. The bonnet
of black straw is faced with pale pink
crepe georgette and trimmed with a
ruche mallnes with sash and hanging
ends of broad black velvet ribbon.
Half-blown garden roBes, in natural
pink shadings, glow vividly against
the rich black of the velvet girdle, nnd
the airy tulle gives the requisite light
ness. Two roses aro tied with a spray
of their foliage itto the streamers at
the back of the bonnet, one near the
waist line nnd one not far from the
brim edge at the back.
Something of olden times is ex
pressed in tho poke bonnet, something
of the heart of summer and gentle
ladyhood in the fine lace and the gar
den roses.

Coiffures for Youthful Faces
vV
There is a number of pretty and
simple styles In coiffures that are to
be recommended to youthful wearers,
and to everyono elso to whom the
plainer arrangements of the hair are
becoming. The hair In nearly all of
them Is unwaved, but If It have a nat
' ural ripplo so much tho better for the
' coiffure.
Most demure, and a favorite with
artists, the coiffure in which the singlo
parting divides the hair over the mid
dle of tho forehead is among the re
vivals that have come along wltlj wide
skirts and poke bonnets. In this coif
fure tho ears are covered and the
back hair arranged low and close to
the head. This is modified, when the
hair Is straight, by pinning it in waves
or undulations about the face, with
small invisible wire pins, and wearing
a plain band of velvet ribbon about the
head to help keep tho hair in place.
Sometimes the back hair is arranged
in a small "chignon" at the base of
Ihe crown.
Hather hoylsh-Iooking is a hairdress
m which the hair is combed straight
back about the forehead and bound
down with n band of velvet, It Is
loosened by pulling It forward a lit
tlo until it stands up in a small pom
padour over the forehead. At the
sides it Is pulled forward and pinned
in a loop over the ears. The ends at
the back are tucked under a small
French twist
Ono of the prettiest of these sim
ple coiffures is shown In the picture
given here. The hair Is not wavy,
but is abundant. It Is parted at the
right sldo ana pinned Into waves
nbout tho face and over tho ears. A
lock Is brought down in a dip ovqr tho
forehead, and tho ends are arranged
In three short puffs across the back.
Many of these pretty arrangements
must bo hold In place by a hair net,
and never was there a greater help
to this end than tho plain band of vel
vet which Is JuBt now so much In
vogue.
