this known? Hadn't the man come to

this fastening the veil can be held OF

"A street hat is a soft, close-fitting
affair, made of one of the fashionable

pushes are more silky and more PHI

The small turban shown in the pic
ture is made of plush which combines
a suggestion of broad tail and ermine.
Over the body of the surface, which is
black, blotches of white appear in
which black points of ermine-tail are
simulated. The crown is an ample puff
