ladies WHO are trying to Introduce the fiat Ma
RE Stuart fronts. LsSies havets very often
to introduce the Marie Stuart, but must yield
to fashion and console themselves with the
thought that the MarIe Stuart bonnet is only
becoming to young aud handsome faces, and
that is the reason they will not take. Tho
new shape for the season is worn very high,
close to the lower part Of thetacc, and slopes
very much from the "tip" to the crown. At
Madame Harris's, in Broadway, some Tcrr ale-
CANT ones may be seen. One Of lavender eiIk.
with white 1aco front and cape Of rIch
blonde, WIS very charming. It--had simple
trimming Of pausfes and lilies half buried in
folds Of tbs aottest Iace: Ruches viii be worn
still, bnt not general]y.s Thehair will be worn
in cur1s and in braids in the buunets as vas
the fashion before ruche4 came in yoene,
They will, however, still be worn in some Of
the most stylish bonnets. The trimmings for
the bonnets will be slmple-laee and small
flowers, In clusters and loops on the ton. or
as nearly on the top Of the bonnet, ~ It is Dos
much worn this spring and summer. 4 great
