Small Feather Turbnns Much BE-
trimmed.
Among the pretty imported novelties
for the coming season the small feather
turbans stand out most attractiyely. In
form and color there Is infinite variety to
choose from. Pretty ones In white sew
eral shades OF blue, from the falntest
claire de lune, or moonlight blue down
the scale to the rich deep plum-bue
tones; all OF the pinks and rose standings,
some charming yellows, to say nothing of
the irldescent greens and browns, the
feather toque and turDun Is sure Of a
most enthusiastic acceptance. Just what
ever tint best suits ones hair, eyes and
complexion will assuredly be found among
the feather chapeaux that Paris has sent
over In such quantity.
While those fascinating little hats may
be worn just as one finds them on the
counter-plus n lining, of course-still,
there is more of an individual nir about
them when a touch Of trimming is added.
AS In the Illustration, for example. Here
pale flamlngo pink toque, with wings
at either side shading from a rose to the
fnintest shell pink, Is made to suit the
face better by the addition Of a huge
chou of velvet loops, a tint that serves
to enhance the complexion being used.
There is fair-sized bnndeau In the back,
this covered with the feathers, but a
ruche of mallnette, with velvet ribbon
loops caught In here and there Is further
supplied, in order to give the little hat
as much style as possible without at all
interfering with Its trim and trig lines.
with rundown Mushroom Brim.
The tlpsy tits and airy angles which
the hats of last season displayed and
which made even the most sober and
sedate householder look as though she
contemplated adopting a frisky and kit
tenlsh manner to match her hat has given
way to style OF ehapeau that Is demure
and sedate In the extreme. Not that
those new modes are at all dowdy; that
IL not what is intended; far from It, 1t
Is merely that where the spring hat was
raksh the autumn one Is demure. That's
all.
Just what is meant by the demure style
is delightfully."- exemplifed In the Illus
traton. This is a model hat, imported
from the atelier of Heitz-Boyer, a man
milliner, who originates about as many
charming things as anybody In Paris,
deep wine-red felt makes the shape, which
has a high rounded bowl-shaped crown
and a brim that measures about the same
oil around, this latter point rather a
rarity In present styles, be 1t confessed
in passing. There Is medium-sized
bandeau all around the head size to lift
the shape we'll OFF the head, so that the
turned-down brim does not take on the
character Of an extinguisher. The edge Is
bound with black satin, and the same
material trims the bandeau, flmy mass
OF malinette being literally Topped in the
back. One large rose centers the front,
and velvet foliage In all the range OF
tints known to the rosetree spreads from
either side towards the back. large
yellowish white osprey waves Its airy
plumes In backward pose, the tips curl
ing a trife under the brim.
The PIume-draped Picture style.
One IL more than a little tired OF hear
Ing that well nigh meaningless phrase, the
picture hat, and yet the milliners who In
vent the styles have failed utterly to
give us any adequate equivalent for the
phrase, should we elect to Danish 1t from
cultured conversation.
A picturesque chapeau, II nH exactly
what is known to the masses as picture
hat, Is the charming Georgette model pic
tured herewith. Georgette 1t was who
brought the huge hat into vogue. and the
romantic spread Of brim. the picturesque
pillng on OF plumes, the piquant fitting
made by a bandeau tucked In at one side
