The tulle turban is raging up and
down the land Just now. 1t Is 50
easily fashioned and the tulle is so, soft |
and becoming that we need not v on
der that It is so widely accepted. The
prettiest of the tulle turbans are
shown in the brown shades. Usually
brown satin Is used for the entire hat,
though now and then georgette Is en-
ployed. The tulle Of the exact shade
as the hat material Is swathed around
the crown In Turkish fashion, several
| thicknesses being rolled into a sort Of
scarf and drawn around the crown. A
variation of this treatment is seen in
the closing fitting turban with a soft
crown and no brin- At the sides a
circle of the tulle has been wired and
left outstanding to give q wide flare
around the hat.
Nothing Is prettier for the dressier
models than the wide brimmed trans
parent hats of tulle or lace or lierre
braid. OF course the lace is wired to
give just the right body and Is only
seen In black-Chantilly or Spanish
founcing. Metallic laces will be- used
in this way later on. we are told, and

are most in demand for this effect.
One finds the brims in some instances

At the recent English races much
paradise and osprey were observed but
no ostrich feathers. The paradise
swirls on most of the dressy hats in
thick sprays or again in a mere wisp
or two. There is a charming way OF
mounting paradise on a little cockade
Of feather which sets each strand up
In Just the way II should be done and
makes, Il possible to use ones dis

way. Indeed. paradise is worth more
than It's weight for hat trimming-it
suggests qnality and wealth, and even
the tiniest Bit Of 1t Is now available,

Many Feather Hats.
During the rest Of the summer We
are to see many feather hats-again
he small .toques covered entirely with
feathers leading all other shapes.
There is something about these
feather bonnets which suggest the
Indian head dress OF fearsome Co
lonial times-a suggestion which
would instantly spring into being II a
trailing bit OF feather were left at the
back OF the hat to rest on the Shout

feathers which swirl between the
shoulder blades In the most astonish-

which Ats the head closely.
/ have already spoken Of the new
Russian peasant turban. This is
shaped exactly like a tiara, tarcring |
away to a mere thread OF straw in |

given not only by the straw frame IT

standing flare directly In the front.
Paris 10 having a Juror over leather
hats--some made entirely of that ma
terial, others Just trimmed with 1t. II
is to be expected therefore that the
fashion will soon be shown over here. |
At any rate we may be sure some en-
terprising manufacturer will bring out
some fabric closely resembling leather.

hat of crocheted chenille TO be used
as a sport hat and again the sport
hats for early winter are being made

ribbon. In this connection let me
