Woman Interests.

Our lady readers will be interested
this evening in the following from
..Milady's" authority on head gear for
ladies during the coming spring sea-
son:
Turbans will be worn this spring.
That is one fact to tie to. The
statement is not CLEANED from Vogue
or the advance Paris sheets. either,
for everybody knows that the Paris
ian publications are one vast jig saw
puzzle of turbans foot high and hats
yard wide, lifted at one side.
Rather is the turban idea secured
from the wholesale houses of the west
and from the local milliners who are
spending the between seasons in look
ing over the advance styles. Straw
turbans, with draped crowns will GER
family be worn. There will be larger
hats, but turbans there will be.
This can mean but one thing-hair.
Not spuffs, but hair, and above all hair
that is long enough to braid and place
all around the head. Those who pur-
chased the braid early secured the
same at nominal cost. The wise
virgins are always just little ahead
OF the procession. 1ne foolish vir.
gins will pay and pay well, for hair is
scarce and very expensive. Said one
! local hairdresser: Where hair is laid
1 directly against ones own head GOV.
ering, it must be of good quality and
ninety-eight cent braid, marked
down from dollar won't DO
A visitor to the wholesale houses
in the east this week says that the
supply appeared to be one long coro
net braid, and that the statesmen were
responsible for the statement thai
there was nothing else in sight. i
must be remembered that the draplns
of the hair about the head. or the
wearing of the coronet braid, mean.

price of these is limited only by the

number of Vogue secured an idea o
the money which might be expended
upon these pins and of the varie'

exclusive shops,
To sum it all up, with turbans il
