Show PEARLS THE ONE ORNAMENT FOR THEDEBUTANTE JUST why pearls and girlhood are so associated in our minds is not yet fully explained. But we all recognize that pearls belong to the maid before she may wear other Jewels with any degree of fitness. Except for pretty hair ornaments of ribbons and made flowers there is nothing that looks quite as "fit" on the young girl as pearls. The ornament shown here is made of two strands of pearl beads ' strung on a fine wire. They are strung : in links joined by large barouque pearl beads, placed between the links. The band extends across the top ol i thfl head and terminates a lit'Je May I tne top of the ears at each side. It is fastened to place with hair -pins. At the left side there are three lojops of the pearls strung on wire and two hanging ends and a knot formed of pearl beads strung on heavy thread and set less close together than in the band, so that they fall easily. The coiffure is very simple even for a young girl. As in all the present pres-ent designs, the ears are covered. The front hair is curled and fluffed about the face. The back hair is braided in loose strands and pinned flat to' the head. This hair dress Is appropriate for brown haired or blond girls, but is not so pretty for the girl with very dark hair or for her who has the splendid j "Titian" locks. Although very dark hair, and what is called red hair, are so unlike, the same styles of coiffure are suited to them both. They must do the hair in soft masses, insist upon its being glossy and refuse to consider con-sider fluffiness or anything approaching approach-ing frizzes. But no matter what the hue of her hair or eyes or skin the maid may wear pearls. They look well and more than that on youthful heads of any color. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. |
