PARISIAN MOMS. —Black velvet bonnets become
every day more numerous. Some are all black, but
the turn-up of spangled velvet is a good contrast to
the plain black. Others are trimmed with a white
tulle plaited in round plaits. There are also round
the black bonnets roses and feathers. When a hat
is turned up it is generally in the front, but not in the
middle of the front. The feathers are worn flat, and
rather pliant than crisped. Some bonnets of deep blue
have, for trimming, bands of black velvet. Some
Modestes make hats of Merino, coquelicot colour,
and trim them with round plaited tulle. The silk'
stuffs, with which they make striped bonnets, have,
rather than bands, small fillets, green, orange, sky
blue, rose, or white. Almost all the spencers of black
velvet are trimmed with blond or black lace. We
have lately seen on the collar rvari (stretching-out
collar) of Merino riding coats, amaranth, green, or
carmelite, simple fillets of black velvet to the number
of eight or ten, instead of capes. There are riding
coats of which the pelerine is in velvet, of a colour dif-
ferent from the robe, but the doubleue is of Merino.
A band of velvet, doubled with Marino, trims ;be en-
.tournwrt of the sleeves.
