NOVELTY IN TURBANS

CORRESPONDENT WRITES OF EXCEEDINGLY PRETTY EFFECT.

New Idea In Trimming Is Sure to Find Favor—Fringe of Hair for the High Forehead a Pa- \ risian Idea. When you are not looking for it you are apt to see something new. So it was the other day at the tea hour, writes Anne Rittenhouse in the Washington Star. I cannot see why anyone should be surprised at meeting new or startling things in clothes at the tea hour, in Paris, especially pear the Rue de la Paix, which, of all short streets in the world, is the most crowded with smart clothes in and out of the shops. With us, in America, the women take the morning for their shopping as a rule, but over here they take the afternoon. This fashion makes for a smart display of afternoon gowns that are elaborate enough for the theater at night The hat I saw was worn by a charming little ballerina from the opera whom one sees at the smart restaurants and for whom the dressmakers design the newest hats and gowns. It was a turban without eccentricity of line, and that, in itself, is a startling fact this season. One welcomed the simplicity of line in this hat for that reason. The novelty was in the trimming, which consisted entirely of natural colored cock’s plumage arranged in a straight hand around the hat. The red, yellow, black and bright brown plumage was deftly mingled and formed a close circle of waving>fronds in, the air. Not a strand of hair showed except two acoroches coeur at the ears. This method of arranging the hair is still in its Infancy and still unbecoming to those whose faces are not

marked by youth and freshness. However, there is a strong feeling that a way will be found out of the dilemma that now faces women to whom the new coiffure is a trial and a sorrow.

The straight bang across the center of the forehead is also back in favor and it provides a little encouragement to those whose brows need a covering. The sketch shows a turban which is intended to be worn with such a fringe. It is made of black horsehair with the top of Jhe crown covered with white roses and a few green leaves. These are fastened on a plateau of , varnished straw, the kind that has .made friends with the world of fashion.

Whether it will last we do not know, and unless a woman has paid an extra price for her hat she is not much concerned- She realizes that wind and

sun destroy the value of any straw hat before changing fashion has made much impression on it. That queerly shaped hat introduced by Suzanne Talbot as a fantasy has many admirers, but few followers. It should prove admirable for the land of hot suns because of its lightness, its cool color and its shading brim that protects the face, the neck and the ears. She makes it in the usual straw that we get from the East in its natural color, and at the top of the crown, which is a miniature sugar loaf, she mounts three tan and pink feathers. This garniture is too conspicuous for the average American, but the shape is good.*
