When / have finished arranging my
hair in the turban style the most diff
ficult and bothersome part of dressing
is over" fran L. declared a friend of
mine, who had succeeded in turning
out a very creditable turban couture
after laboring patiently for more than
ha f an hour.
No doubt this opinion comedies with
nearly every woman's experience who
is endeavoring to follow this new style
of hair dressing. While the effect is
simple, it's very simplicity is mis-
leading to those unfamiliar with the
process of building up this smart style
of couture Not little ingenuity is
required in effecting a becoming and
nicely arranged coiffure, whether we
possess luxuriant hair or our own or
have resorted to false pieces.
In accepting this new mode we must
exercise Judgment in choosing a style
individually becoming. Many women
forsake their own looks in order to
follow this style, and, consequently,
we see weird and absured results.
At a matinee the other day 1 heard
a woman exclaim to her companion in
the box, after looking critically over
the audience: We'll, there is some
consolation in knowing that one does
not look any the worse for having adj
opted the turban dressing than many
other women. I am sure, for example,
that I do not appear so impossible as
the woman with light hair near the
end in the fifth row."
AS a matter of fact, while the "tur-
ban torsade" of the one in the box
had a decidedly professional air, it
was far from becoming and did not
harmonic with the contour of the
face.
If you are DESTROYS of attempting the
turban style do not re'y upon your
own hair unless it is not only long,
but thick. There is nothing so hope
less and forlorn-looking as a woman
with thin, struggling locks, having a
miserable little twist or braid around
her head, which calls attention to the
meagreness with which nature has be-
slowed her gifts.
Should you adopt any of the various
Greek or Roman adaptions, buy the
necessary false pieces when these are
required, even though you only occa-
sionally dress your hair in this man.

False Hair According to Your Needs.
For the woman with scant locks
there is a sort of semiwig, a beauti-
fully arranged turban complete, with
to be adjusted, a sort of cap affair ov-
er the fatty massed hair of the wear
er leaving but little of it visible Here
the turban frame is supplemented by
a Roman twist, swirl, coil or braid, as
one fancies, effecting a complete trans
formation. In fact, this is the name
given them by our English cousins.
In some cases a turban frame cover
ed with wavy hair is all that is re-
quired, the wearer twisting her own
around in a coil or swirl as she pleas
es. Turbans, covered, are available
from % cents to SIS, with natural hail
for the latter. The numerous false
pieces may be had for as low as $2.5(
TO $50, even $50 for the long brands
and twists of hair, which measure
from AZ to so inches. So you see, 4
is possible to invest quite a little sun
of money for ones glory crown.
The Desired Effect.
In arranging a turban couture it i.
essential that it produces a soft, be-
coming effect around the face TIL,
hair is taken low over the forehead
temples and ears: in some casts al
most hiding these. as in the case o
the hair being parted in the centre AM
drawn over the ears in la Merode
This style is more favored by Frencl
women than by American women.
