line is a shaggy brown felt fecked
with very light tan. The brim is faced
with a fancy silk to match the lighr
shade in the hat. and this is brought
over the edge of the brim so that it
forms a sort of putting all around.
Around the crown is velvet of the
darker shade; interlaced bands of vel
vet run down from the crown on the
right side to the band of the brin1
at the back, with long golden arrow
twisted through. This gives a pretty
finish to the back of the hat where il
meets the hair. Under the ftarins
brim on the left side is fastened
fiat braid in a dark shade of brown.
There is absolutely nothing on this
hat which the fall winds can tear or
rumple. 1t is sufficiently simple for
wear with walking suit, while the
light-colored silk facing makes 1t DOS
sible as the accompaniment of a more
dressy costume. Later IN the season
the light silk facing may be removed
and the darker shade of brown sub
stituted, with perhaps tiny line of
fur on the top of the brim.
The TUrban.
The beauty of the turban is the wav
it fits to the hair. At first glance tha
well-fitting turban and the carefully
groomed and waved hair seem to pos
sess subtle unity. The turban which
does not fit the head well, which
leaves a gaping space between its
brim and the hair, causes harsh lines
and makes the wearer look old. The
turban demands a liberal showing. of
hair around the face, and 1t is a great
mistake for one who dresses her hair
tightly and severely drawing it away
from the forehead, to don a turban.
Ihere are two distinct models in

A Striking Thing in Velvet.
A striking example of the velvet tur-
pan shows champagne colored fab

a decided point in front. On either side
OF the turban, almost covering the brin1
ana meeting in a point at the back
over the hair, are two coque breasts
IN self tone; on the right side a bold
color effect is obtained by the use of
copper ornaments, which blend oddly
but tremendously with the paler shades
of the hat. A brown velvet hat with
the regulation hussar coque breasts
IN the changeable shades of green and
brown is equally effective and more
durable
There can be no greater mistake than
the purchase of cheap coque feathers.
They go down before the first wind
storm and are not to be repaired
Even the small hussar plumes which
irreverent shoppers selected with care
and one that costs less than SIPS rep
resents a sheer waste of money, as the
feathers are merely pasted on a can
vas foundation and yield both to mois-
ture and wind.
