mow hair?)
MADAME MERRI.
Wraps Made From Shawl.
The season for short evening wraps
is the psychological moment for the
woman who possesses one of the hand
some fringed Chinese crepe shawls to
get it out and have It Made into a
stunning wrap. The priceless shawl
need not be cut to do this. All that is
necessary is to take a loop in one
edge to form a Capuchin hood or sling
drapery, and the shawl will then ad
just itself most gracefully- on the
shoulders, falling in just the right
way. If it is a very large shawl, turn
down one edge several inches be
fore making the sling loop, allowing
the fringe to fall on the outer side
of the wrap, of course. A clasp of
some sort should be set at the front,
high on the left front, the opposite
side of the shawl being lifted to this
fastening in soft, graceful manner.
ribbon flowers or silk fruit are used
perched flat againg the brims.
Crocheted flowers and ribbon flowers,
a single rose and leaves usually, are
applied in this way, no more raised
than a heavy embroidery. Nothing
can blow about except the veil and
that only at the will and pleasure of
its wearer.
Most of the bonnets have a crown
sufficiently large to protect the coif
fure without tousling the hair. That
shown in the illustration is a good ex
ample of the mode. It is of satin braid,
made without wires. If carefully
packed it will take up little room in a
suit case as it is flexible enough to
fold up.
