VERY HANDSOME HEADDRESS FOR EVENING WEAR

ONE hardly knows whether to call the many elaborate head-dresses designed for evening wear by the name of ‘‘turban’’ or not. They are turbans in reality, but developed in new ways. ' Some of them cfiVer the entire head —most of them do but others leave the crown uncovered and swath themselves about the foreheads They are extravagantly rich and immensely becoming. A modest one so far as fabric and ornamentation are concerned is pictured here. It is of black velvet with rich ornament in passamenterie, having colored heads and gold spangles let in. This is placed across the front and the velvet brought up in folds at each side to the top of the light frame. Here there is the simplest of simulated knots. Above this is poised a very gorgeous butterfly in exactly the position that butterflies never take naturally. We may therefore assume that this is a butterfly of fashion. Natural or not, she is very brilliant and beautiful, with long black antennae of chenille and a curious body of wound braid. „ This head-dress, without the butterfly, makes an entirely suitable turban for street wear. With the butterfly it will pass muster as one of the most up-to-date of new head-dresses designad tor the coming season. If all the

signs of the times mean anything, this is to be a winter in which the fashionable bead will be clothed with a covering, morning, noon, night and bedtime. The bare-headed fad —never very strong—has passed into oblivion
