TuRBANs AND FANCHoNs.- .-Turban
bonnets are the favorite shape for young
ladies. They consist merely of large
round crown, with or without dropping
fringe or quilting in front, but invari-
ably have strings of satin ribbon that
fasten under bow of long loops and
short ends just behind the left ear. The
bonnet is worn quite far back on the
head, and 6splays the front hair. IL
may be simply soft pouf crown of
satin, black. garnet, dark green, or
gendarme blue, edged with two tiny
box-plaitings. and completed by the
great bow on the left side, or else it
may be embroidered with jet beads. and
edged with fringe of beads. Other
turhans are made Of dark satin plain on
stiff frame, and softened by a care
lessly folded bias scarf of oriental silk
in gay combination of colors. Still
others have a band of feathers around
the crown, made up of small bits OF
breast and neck feathers, while another
fancy is that of having the head of an
owl stuck on the left side, or perhaps a
small parrot lies there as IL asleep or
dead. The fur-trimmed turbans intro
duced last winter were so becoming
that they will find favor again, especial
ly when used TO match dresses trimmed
with fur.
The Fanchon, or Misunderstanding
bonnet, is again revived, and Is liked
because IL is so universally becoming.
and IL Is so simple that n lady can make
it without the aid of milliner. The
small frame is pointed in front. lies fiat
on the top of the head, and has no
crown. 1t is very pretty when covered
with red or black satin. across which
rows of black beaded Breton lace are
slightly gathered. Some large loops
of black satin or of garnet ribbon form
n bow on top quite far back. which is
partly covered by the beaded lace The
strings are then of black satin ribbon,
edged on the lower side with lace or
with the new curled fringe, or else they
are made of doubled net similarly
trimmed; these strings fasten under the
chin, not on the side.
