fashions are concerned, are the won-

The feather fans. which are sig

America that they do not make a
strong appeal to us as a novelty. In

them a new flip.
The average woman is a bit sensi-
tive over adopting any type of sem
sational headdress, and whatever is
Egyptian is bound to be sensational
to our modern eyes. Yet one can
not fail to get ideas, more or less
lovely and artistic, from even these
conspicuous ornamentations that are
only fit for the theater.
There has arisen among us
smart set of women who like to be
judged as theatrical, and these are
the ones who wear the most extreme
headdresses, no matter from what
country they come or by WHAT play
they have been inspired. The pub
