One of the :pretticst designs is corn

velvet, v hich opens ont in front. Ont
side is filled in with short blue and white
feathers, the other with white figured silk
lace, which serves as sapport TO a goi

lace, crossed with network Of blue vel

narrow frill of rich white blonde is 0

behind. Wide hlne strings, striped with
a white velvet cord.
Aoreally lovely. bonnet in pink velvet
is.ornamented round the crown with q
fat wreath of white feathers tied at the
back with wide bow of white tulle, the
ends to which hang down behind. The
face trimmings consist of pale pink roses:
covered with crysta'ized snow.
Another simple, yet elegant, bonnet is
of uncut velvet, with thin lace front, and
crown dotted with gold, and ornamented
with wreath. of ivy and gold berries,
most naturally initiated in velvet The
ivy extends down upon the narrow lace
.clrtain behind, and in conjunction with,
some white lace and berries, form very

ed With the :" empire" which makes them
look like: old women.
But We imagine there is no ground for
the rumor that they viii be used for dress
hats for evening and opera wear. In this
respect, they caa never fill the place Of
the soft lace and tulle bonnets, which are
so exquisitely becoming, and surround
the homeliest face with sort of illusion
,{no pun intended) which renders it attrac.
tive.
1t is not unlikely, however, that the

charming French bonaets made in this

tied. Small brilliants, set in the form Of
stars, of butterflies, and various other dc.
vices, are also used upon lace .bonnets as
g. centre for the face trimming, or an up
parent fastening for the folds of blonde
barbes.
Fine white straw bonnets with embroi
dered edges, and velvet, or satin, crowns
are considered the best style forsautumr
wear. Very little ornament isrreauired
for them: o couple Of small ostrich hitips
or 8 few velvet leaves and flowers.
Silk, however, is always the most pop.
ular, as it is he.least expensive of mate
rails for spring and fall. bonnets, and this
, season forms not exception to the general
rule.
DRESSES, AND WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF.
- The difficult task would be to tell what
they are not made Of, for just now, every
material that was ever knows. seems to
be in the market, and all find purchasers.
Rich silks, of course, take the lead, and
strange TO say, are sold in much larger
quantities shan ever befre, notwithstand-
Ing the enormous advance <on the prices
of a.teS years ago.
A novelty In trimming, for black silk
and poplin. dresses, consists Of. designscnt

white silk in the Grover b Baker stitch.
