Turbans Wide in the Crown.
In order that the stout and the

milliners have given breadth and dig
nifty to the crown. Here is where many
of the hitherto undiscovered angles
are revealed. !.
The crown is so deft1y shaped. SO

agreeable form; and by the manipu-
lation of fabric above the eyes the
clever milliner can make facial de-

open.
This is the work that r SoeS on.
Naturally, the woman who has slim
face with a pointed chin can take the
turban to herself as her own peculiar

she can wear the daring, new kind

This is the turban that is at the
height of fashion, but the overpopu-
lar Blue Devil cap gave rise to such
a demand for millinery somewhat like
it that the voluminous turban, twist
ed and draped into alluring lines, is
as fashionable, if not as daring, as its
