In thla 'tween .aeaaona, when w atlll

though the 'ehopa be full Of ' aummer

fancies are 'not without Intereat Borne
of them. It'tnuat bo admitted, ara al
. moat too extreme to be adopted by our
countrywomen, though othera, I ven
. ture to predict, will be taken up wita
entliuaiaam. . '
For lnatance, ean you imagine anr-
thing having greater chlo than the little
collar of fur with butterfly bow of
aatln fastening It at the back or under
one ear? ' .
I told you about It when first It made
ita appearance In Parle eereral montha
ago. but It la quite worthy of a eecond
mention. By way of contraat, this bit
, of a collar la worn with a muff of quite
glgantlo preportlona. and the effect la
certainly atrlktng-

the fashionable collar, and far, far out.
almost to the point of the chin. And
although this sounds uncomfortable, In
reality it Is not, for much boning la not
necessary the secret lying In the cut
Of the collar. ,
Madame Naslmova. the gifted Rua
slsn actresa, wore a wonder-provoking
collar In her laat play. The whole gown
was a marveloue creation of folds and
lines, made of queer, earth-colored stuff.
Hot the Interest of the gown to the
feminine portion ef the sudience lay in
the wonderful collar. It awathed Ma
dame Nailmova s long neck to the ear-
' tips and ran out quite to the point of
her chin. Now, this actress Is noted
for length of line from chin to collar
bone. How on earth did that collar
stand upf .
The mystery was solved when the
actress hesd dropped weartlv back
ward and the collar stood alone! It
must have been boned nd canvassed
to within an inch of Its life.
Quite In keeping with this fashion of
hlah neck covering are tne black satis
ribbons which Paris belles bind arouna
their throate and tie under one ear. the
ends fluttering at their own aweet will.
You may sea the effect In the sketch
lettered "A." Sometimes the ends are
very lortg -quite to the skirt hem; but
the more onservatlve women cut theira
off at a'length of several inches. The
Charlotte Corday hat worn by thia flsr
ira ie worthy of notice, for you will
see many of them on the Easter parade.
They ara made of tulle or net. puffed
up- into a high crown, with a brim com
posed of narrow frills of net. Caught
In around the crown are little nosegays
of wee rosfhuda and forgeume-nets,
while directly in front nods an ostrich
tip, caught with a velvet bow. Over a
pretty face these hata are lrrealstlble,
bo sort and becoming are tneir outlines.
Of very different effect is a new the
atre headdress adopted by the women
of Paris aa a compromise between
"really-trulyM hats snd the required
hated hatlesa condition. It is nothing
more nor less than an orientsl turban
of softly rolled tulle or chiffon In deli
cate colorings. Sometimes strings of
pearls are wound around the chiffon,
sometimes It ends In a heavy gold tas
sel dropping over the 4eft ear. Its ef
fect is ntrtklnaly eastern and quite in

These scarfs are now worn with dress
'stilted to any period of the day. In the

French women are Industriously pur
suing the fad of collecting scarfs that
have st some period of time belonged
to famous women. Europe is being
ransacked so the madams may have tha
attraction of Baying, "TeaT Tou like,
my scarf? It belonged to the Pom
padour." With evening gowna these
scarfa are arranged with a careful eye
lor artistie effect and form an import
ant pert of the costume.
Speaking of evening gowns reminds
me that the opera on a gala night in
Parla looka like an animated bed of
lilies of tho valley Just touched, with
frost. Poor flowers, they have come
out too soon and Jack FrOst has caught
them! There Is a perfect furore for
these modest little blossoms for coiffure
adornment, but always frosted and
sometimes combined with a glittering

Grecian filets, made of red gold and
studded with pearls and gold cabochoua,
are worn, binding the hair at the back,

Quite In keeping with the plctnreaque
ness of women's sttlre are bldck bands

forming a bracelet. Novelty watch
guards are of black watered ribbon,
caught with a tiny diamond claan.
