PRETTY TURBAN

YOUTHFUL FACE

nESIGNED for the daughter in

faces, this simple turban is a splendid
example of fitness in millinery.
Mourning silk-that is, silk in a
special weave having a rich but dull
surface-makes the band about the
head. 1t is laid in a triple fold over
a support of buckramette. The baret-

On the foundation band of buckram-

a bias fold of Grape is stretched. At
the under edge similar fold of silk
is placed and over this the triple fold
of mourning silk.
The smart crown of Grape has final

GRACEFUL enveloping coats of fig
" ured and brocaded fabrics, espe-
cially those of satin, are luxurious
beyond all other garments except
those of rich fur In these figured
satin coats the design breaks up and
enhances the sheen of surfaces. Their
high luster forms playmate for
color and light and the three dance
together upon them.
If one is looking for the luxurious,
1t is to be found In these garments.
In the new, and what are termed
fancy" colors these coats are only
suited to high occasions. Oftener
they are developed in gray, or taupe,
or In some rich brown shade and are
more generally useful Perhaps gray
is the happiest choice OF color for
them; 1t is at home everywhere and
it isfvery elegant andy comparison
quiet. The figured satin coat does
not pose as quiet, however--it is a
snowy garment.
Innings are in contrasting colors,
but they must be chosen carefully.
Nothing conspicuous will do for them.
For trimming, fur and marabout
come into use. Both these, this sea
son, are dyed into all sorts of colors.
They are, after all, best in natural
colors and in black and white.

Brown fox, martin, skunk and fitch
are among the most fashionable furs
and favorites as finish on satin
coats. Marabout, next to fur lin the
natural COLOR, looks well on them.
The coat of figured satin looks luxu-
rious and comfortable and when made
right, its performance is up to its ap-
pearance. 1t is expensive, but it ex.
cuses this characteristic by unusual
beauty
Similar coats of figured crepe cost
less, but cannot be classed as mex
pensive. Mattelasse makes beauti-
full coat much like its prototype in
satin.
In spite of the vogue for shorter
coats than those worn last winter,
there are plenty of examples of long
coats in satin and in fur. Robert. OF
Paris, shows model in sealskin
trimmed with martin, much longer
than the coat pictured here Max
shows one in moleskin trimmed with
pure ermine considerably shorter. So
the matter Of length need not deter
one from choosing coat longer than

means achieving long, graceful lines

than it contributed in 1911. Tnis rep

The growers received nearly

factory and field profited in even
greater ratio
Enough sugar has been manufac.
tured in the state this year to sup
ply all demands of more than 5000, 900
people for an entire year.
THE value of the sugar produced
this year is S20,7S2, 991.51, giving the
output value no greater than that
of the average factory price for the
last ten years. In 1911 the sugar out.
