The' coiffure 'of -the' mother ipiccn and Alfonso's ai's-lcr.s ai's-lcr.s arc not unlike Qiioen Alexandra's, who has over worn a frizzy bang of ringlets that come down well over her forehead, which is said to be very high. . ' The tall coiffure requires not a little hair, as there riiust be a graceful curve extending from the nape of the neck to the crown of tho head, where Ihc hair is massed fn soil pulfr, and to which may be added a bunch of the fashionable curls. KUOEXLE "CURLS THE 1'AIX Empress .Kugcnip made Greian . knot the accepted ac-cepted mode dining her days, when she ruled not onlv ab queen of the French, but as past grand mistress nnd autocrat of fashions.

You l:rP,w this beautiful woman in her youth was celebrated for the velvety texture of .her skin that vasbkcned by poets of the day unto alnb'as'ler.

Dull gold ornamentations look best on the bril-linnt bril-linnt shell combs. These in combination with varicolored vari-colored gem are .-ecu in' beautiful designs. The classic laurel Icavoa m the form of wreath dec- orations studded with tiny seed pearls, diamonds and emeralds represent the acme of refinement, lany Spanish combs arc massively mounted with jeweled tops, and in some eases are too heavy to be worn with comfort. Very elegant combs arc mounted with miniature minia-ture cameos and hand-painted miniatures. All sorts of ornate decorations aic employed for the fashionable coiffure, real and artilicial loses being a characteristic embellishment. Some very handsome ioch of gold and silver tissue are tucked under the eur or worn high on the coiffure to the .one idc Very 'effective, too, are the bows, roses, wings of black silk gauze Studded with equina in gold and silver.

Spanish braoclcts arc mostly very massive, , broad lmnd affairs, in odd contrast to the nnr- jj row Nethersole ones. Those of hand cut old i ivory touched with gold and gems make one jH of the glonea of Eugenie's court. Spanish neck-laces, neck-laces, brooches and rings arc envied possessions. u The toreador's turban is being very success-fully success-fully developed in black , cream and ecru, leghorn and Neapolitan straw. The trimming consists W of a high dceoralion on the left side of roses massed together, and a sweeping heron plume or cluster of aigrettes.
