RUSSIAN
TURBANS
More Popular than Ever
this Season-Fur Trim
mings Used Great Deal

IF one can say with accuracy that
there Is any dominant note at ali
In the millinery styles for this
winter, this note is the Russian. II
anything, it will be more popular even
than it was last season. Turbans
there are on every hand, some Of them
look, at a distance, like the headgear
of the marauding Cossack, some like
a Hussar's shake.
But, to be precise, it is hardly cor
rect to talk of a dominant note. For
the principal feature Of the winter
hats is that clever woman can wear
almost any style that suits her and be
very fashionable. To be sure she can
adapt her favorite style after the
Russian manner and give an added
chic touch. For the Russian vogue
comes not only in the shape of the
headgear but In the trimmings.
Fur Is used more extensively than
ever. This, Of course, should match
the pelt of the Jacket or paletot II
worn with plain tailor-built
it should harmonic with the general
color scheme.
More Revivals.
It is good news to almost every
woman that the three-cornered hat of
last season is to appear again, as this
shape is one of the most becoming.
It is modified and changed little, Of
course, but in general outline 1t gives
the same effect Some three-cornered
hats show a very fetching new treat
rnent in the covering of the crown
and upper brim in black and white
striped silk. Such a hat. faced in
black velvet with a black aigrette
catching up the b-im as it turned back
against the crown, was very smart in
sdeed. A clever woman who chances
to have a shape OF this kind faced in
black velvet can cover the top of the
hat with black and white silk and
make for herself a most fetching win
ter hat.
Cockades are still in high favor, not
only for three-cornered hats. but for
many plain walking shapes, and are
excellent trimming for the morning
hat;s their stiff and trig outline being
exactly the thing for the smart tailor
made.
Taffeta or louisine silk is seen in
many models, especially those for the
nlid-season before actual winter
weather sets in. A lovely French hat
Is covered in heliotrope taffeta put on
perfectly plain over a broad, round
crown and wide brim; the only trim
ming is fiat banding of the silk en-
broidered in a conventional design of
self-tone soutache which IS laid
around the crown and manipulated in
to a bow so plain that it is tailored
in it's effect. The braiding appears
again on the edge Of the brim.
An absinthe-green toque in soft
beaver had a turned-up brim faced in
velvet of the same tone; slanting of
to the left there was a fancy yaigrette,
also in absinthe-green, held in place
by a lovely jeweled ornaments
green turquoise matrix.
Magnificent Trimmings.
Gold and silver laces are more
sumptuous than ever and make gor-
geous combinations with velvets and
silks of winterrmillinery. One very
charming black velvet hat, straight
and broad of brim and with rather
fiat crown, has, as its only trimming
a scarf of silver lace brought around
the crown and manipulated into
beautiful bow at the side. This bow,
by the way, unlike most examples
does not fare upwards, but spreads
out wide and close to the brim.
The earliest importations of French
hats for autumn wearing are dominat-
ed by the element of distinct pic
turesuueness. This effect is obtained
rather by the set of the trimming and
the way the several parts are as
