Turban from Picture Hat.
A picture hat built from mousselins
folds and straw braid can easily ha
whipped into a cavalier turban, which
is becoming to the young face with
hair softly parted and waved. The real
cavalier turban has only a long sweep.

trying style of trimming and requires
tall and stately carriage. 1t is bet.
ter in the case of a made-over hat to
use a rosette of asters where the roll
ing brims meet and let a spray of as
ters, with their buds, fall over the back
of the hair. Asters come in beautiful
fall colors-a deep, rich heliotrope, an
autumn pink. wine color and rioh
yellow, shading to orange.
The white mouSSeline or chiffon hat
is the hardest of all to utilize for fall
and is used only for the first visits to
the theater or the restaurant dinner.
Strip the hat of all its lace draperies
and bedraggled feathers, it's soiled rib
bons and faded flowers. Turn the brim
up in the front until you have almost
a sailor effect and bend it down in the
back. Outline the Shirrings of the fac
ing with rows of cherries in various
shades of red, with leaves of a silvery
green. Trim the crown with bows of
red velvet ribbon which will tone into
the cherries and let loops of the ribbon
fall over the back of the hat to hide
the many marks of the hat pin, which
no amount of busting or cleansing will
eradicate, and you have a hat such as
the wealthy woman is ordering from
her exclusive milliner.
Don't Forget the Spring Turban.
The spring turban is not to be- for

chiffon choux and the faded wreath
of button roses. If it is a straw that
will stand water, dust it and brush 1t
off lightly with water to which a few
drops of ammonia have been added.
Buy a wreath of leaves that will tone
with the shade of green. and dot them
here and there with single rose pods,
cherries, gooseberries or wee crab ap-
pies. Substitute for the chiffon choux
fresh ones of ribbon in three shades
of green, which will combine well
with the shade of the straw.
These various methods of making
over a summer hat are not recon-
mended for their cheapness alone. No
hat will look we'll if refurbished with
cheap trimmings, but if a summer hat
has cost from $40 to $40 it will pay
better to invest IS in giving it a certain
air of fall sprightliness than to invest
in bargain counter hat little less di-
lapidated than the ones which have
been worn at mountain or shore. In
trimming these half-season hats It Is
well to remember that fall tones should
be studied. Delicate flowers pale
roses and daisies are distinctly out of
place.
