81 epidemic IN Paris. Turbans
OF fur. Of marabou. OF tulle. OF
- beaver. OF velvet. OF any and
LE44 every material suitable for the
&A33 purpose are being worn by the
smart Partisan and are gradually gaining
favor here. as was evidenced during the
horse show season. but Il is the turban OF
fur that shows the most piquant develop
ments Of this millinery fad.
OF course. there is bound to be a certain
basic similarity in the models. Fur, espe-
cially Of the Iong-haired variety. Is not
easily draped and manipulated and since
the modish turban must be broad and
posed low on the head. there is little room
for vagaries OF line. but even in line there
are variations. and in detai there is a
world OF difference among the models.
Perhaps the shape most popular in Paris
IS the one very large and low. extending
far out over the bouffan side hair and rest
ing low on the forehead, yet withheld from
total eclipse OF the face by a soft. support
ing, invisible bandeau. The soft brim rolls
up closely against the big crown and some
sort Of rakish feather ornament sweeps
back from the left front or stands up in
brush fashion.
The ermine turban OF the sketch, with its
full White egret, is a fair example Of the

models are, like this one, in all white ermine
or fox. Two long, handsome quilts OF os-
trich. a graceful, sprey. Tyre bird plumage.
OF made quilts of stunning coloring may
trim this turban, or perhaps there is no
feather and the only trimming Is a cluster
Of flowers OF fruit or some handsome bar
barrie ornament OF gold tissue.
Combinations Of contrasting furs or Of
velvet and fur are sometimes seen in this
model, the latter working out effectively
ensuite with a costume echoing the color
Of the velvet.
other low, round turbans have no sem
blance of brim, being bowl-shaped OF mush-
room-shaped. but softened in line by the
n~uffiness Of the fur. All that has been
said OF the trimming bestowed upon the
roll brim turbans is applicable here also.
and these shapes are at their best in such
l~ong-haired furs as fox. lynx. marten. etc.
A clupster OF gardenias with their glossy
green foliage is often the only trimming.
and roses of gold tissue are much used
upon the darker fur, two or three of them
being tnoke into the fur at the left side.
one very effective French turban in err
mine was trimmed in a glowing bunch Of
velvet geraniums shading from brilliant
red to pink, and on another white turban
was posed one huge purple orchid.
In addition to the round shapes there
are many fur turbans slightly boat shaped.
though even these, while being longer
than they are wide. must come down we'll
over the head and so of necessity have a
considerable width Some excellent scarf
and bow effects are achieved in connec-
ton with these models-and indeed with the
round turbans also-and when they are
becoming these shapes. adorned with knots
or fatty applied bows Of wide supple satin
or metallic tissue, with probably pendent
ends finished in fringe or balls, are tre-

The model pictured in one of the cuts
and trimmed with a big. soft, flat bow held
by a handsome buckle has been extremely
successful as a costume hat. and one
