there is little variety when IL comes to
startling inspiration. The immense
oriental turban is the novelty and Is
worn by women who care to preserve
the eastern look in their costumery
whenever the occasion permits 1t.
The original turban is of|black satin
with sblack paradise in front and
a crystal buckle to hold the spreading
feathers. 1t is worn low on the head,
showing not a flicker of hair. except
a tab on each ear to fill in the hiatus
between the brim of the hat and the

sometimes using a black jet buckle in
stead of a colored crystal one. but
such women are daring and their fol-
lowers should be few.
One thing should be well fixed in
the mind regarding this oriental head
gear, which is that it should be kept
for ceremonial OCCASIONS, 1t Is not
the kind of hat to wear on the street
in the morning on windy day. II
may be worn indoors for any day af-

The Restaurant Hat.
The milliners are enchanted over
the prospect of selling more hats thru
the new custom, which calls for a COW
ering on the head, no matter how low
the gown, for evening usage in restau-
rants
This fashion has played hide-and-
go-seek thru the decades. 1t Is in, 1t

Long ago. we banished hats at the
play, to q large extent, altho IL is not
possible to ask the woman who travels
to the heater from long distances on
trains and trolleys to forego the hat.

1T HAS been said that women are

Knitted Trimming

Apparently we have all grown so
used to knitting that we just cannot
stop doing 1t. At least, one is justified
In such an inference from the number
of knitted accessories and the forms
of knitted trimming one sees nova
days in the shops. To begin with, the
vogue of the knitted wool sweater is by
no means finished. Women stop in
their war work of making socks and
mufflers now and then to knit
sweater for themselves of some gay
yarn.
Perhaps the newest thing is the
woolen coat with trimmings of knitted
yarn. Some of these coats are very
smart. They are expensive, too, for.
of course, the knitted work is hand
done, and they are also n novelty. One

belt or collar. cuffs and pockets Of
the worsted work and a good many

Some of the new blouses of geor-

various colors-quite effectively, too.
Another novelty Is the georgette
blorse with collar and cuffs of knitted
worsted. The collar is of the stand

their lines. He estimated that during
the ten years ended June 30, 1915. there
