FOUND ABOVE HER GROWING
GLORY
CRy United Press.)

New York, Nov. 9.-Instead of the
leaf bandeauX which were so popular
last season for evening wear, the
fashionable misses and matrons are
wearing wide velvet bandeaux stud,
ded in beads of amber, jade and coral
shades.
Some of them are peaked in front,
like coronets, with loops Of beads
falling at the sides in earring fash
ion. Others are merely brilliantly
colored brpcaded ribbons wound
about the head in turban style. This
latter type IS particularly chic on the
girl whose dark bobbed locks curl
forward on her cheeks.
For occasions where formality IS
not essential such as at restaurants
and theatres, the evening turban OF
tinse, cloth is almost indispensable
this year.
The dance hat which is worn with
the elaborate gown this season usu-
allv follows the trim of the gown and,
as many Of the lovhest gowns are
studded in rhinestones, the diamond
hat is becoming the latest rage. The
stones are not used too glaringly,
however. They are studded here ana
there throughout the drapery of
black satin turbans, used in front
cluster effect combined with other
colored stones on metallic cloth, OF
used as brim outline on narrow
brimmed hats Of bright colored vel
vet.
