No less a personage than Madame
Flore Revallle of the Russian Ballet
is pictured here wetring two of the
combs and one of the headbands that
are fashionable just now. They adapt
themselves to either the high or low
toilfure, the combs looking particularly
well with a high hairdress.
The headband shown is of silver set
with rhinestones, and it bears a crest
at the front of silver filigree, which also
sparkles with small brilliants.
Silver and rhinestones have the ad
vantage of other more colorful things,
because they look well with hair of
any color. Raven locks and those like
snow, and all the shades between, are
set off by their keen sparkle.
One of the back combs shown is
especially good looking with blonde
hair. It is of anbter with gold tracery,
and smnll inset rhinestones make it a
spirited hair ornament. The other is
of chased and filigree silver to Which

With no sensible reason for flourish
ang in midwinter. and with the incon
sistency of things feminine, fans are
just now in the zenith of their popu
larity. They are bits of splendor that
give the finishing touch to winter toil
ettes. and they become especially en
ticing just before the holidays. Just
now they are more in evidence in the
shops than they ever will be in the
hottest of midsummer weather.
The prices asked for the pew fans
are rather outrageously high, but,
measured by their beauty, money is
sometMng to forget. All the corners
of the earth are called upon to furnish
the materials and the art that produce
them. They are limitless in variety, I
and most of them sparkle and gleam

Many of the newest fanus are of quills,

and the richest ones are still of fine
lace with mother-of-pearl sticks.
A luxurious lAug for a fine fan is

with spangles, gold lace and gold braid,

with a snap fastener, and gold cord
provides the hangers.
All That Glitters.
A tam-o'-shanter of black velvet
with a crown of solid jet spangles is
an innovation surely. It but emphasizes
the renewed interest in jet for all parts
of the wardrobe.
A chemise entirely of silver lace

A new metal cloth with a dull silver
sheen shows stripes of color. The
stripes are very wide. One could ima

Attractive Blouse.
Most blouses have "a bishop sleeve,
whether they are in linen or silk or
chiffon. A good model in linen, with a
high collar opens down the front. The
loops and crocheted buttons start at
the neck, but are not buttoned till a
low decollete is reached. The blouse
fronts are outlined with several rows I
of soutache braid. Black silk ribbon,
which runs under the waist over the
shoulder, emerges to view in front and I
falls in a long tasseled end below the
waistline, passing under the belt. A t

make baskets, and if you have ever
n happened to examine any of.their work

- and wonder how such tiny children, as
some of them are, could weave the bhas
- kets so perfectly. The little children
in this country have begun to do some
y work of that sort with ratlia, but they
f do not equal the children of the islands
in desiugning and making baskets.
eThese are of all shapes, and it is said
that no two are alike, and yet the de
sign is so perfect that it can he nmes

Sthe children who make them, and then
they are sold in this country.
