ionsble style is in felt. having simply
band and either with or without . wing.

there are saucy booking felts having wide
brims. and these when bound with some
bright colored silk trimmed with the same
and finished by a wing, are jaunty and
coQaettish as possible. Turbans are quite
fashionable; sometimes being made with
