Horsehair Turban.

Among the comfortable haas that

especially when travelling or motor.
ing, is a turban of colo7ed hoisehair
The French call this material by the
name of erin, and it is woven out OF
such silken threads that it las prac
tically no weight.
The form of these turban4 is East
Indian. They are wrapped or swathed
around small frame of nilliners
wire and lined with white Caina silk
They are excellent for steamer wear
because they have no hrim, and one
can lean back against the chair with
entire comfort. OF course, for the
woman who must have her eyes al.
ways shaded from the 1ight these tur.
bans are impossible, but for the ordi-
nary mortal they are both stylish and
comfortable.
