TURBANS REMAIN IN FAVOR

Innumerable Smart Models to Select From, and Almost Equal Variety of Materials. Turbans continue, if anything, more popular than ever. Russian effects, Scotch effects, various notched and cornered styles and very long, severe, boat-shaped models are smart. Large sailors are worn for knockabout, and huge, flaring Gainsboroughs are among the dressy models. Fur-cloth is much used in the making of smart turbans, combined with dull, soft tinsel, panne velvet and satin, also frequently combined* with felt. Tinsel ornaments ahd tinsel braids are used to bind brims and edge novel fancies. Bandings of various widths, edgings, cockades, bows huge loops, tassels and rabbits’ ears of fur are all used as trimmings. Frequently a single flower is used in combination with fur. Metal roses are favored for this purpose. Some of the newest flowers have fur petals or fur centers. All sorts of tall trim fancies of peacock, ostrich, coque and burnt novelties are used for trimming small turbans/ Beaded and spangled birds and ornaments continue to be popular.
