accomplished fact, however; the days of
the steady, solemn, old "cottager' straws,
are over, and in theirg place we have the
most elaborate little specimens of tOr1a-

Very dressy and not expensive bonnets
are made for young ladies, of silk, with

Very narrsw quillings of black lace,
blonde, or satin ribbon, have taken the
place of inside ruches, for which the
small brim affords no space. The addi-

top, with pendants hanging over it, or

with long, sloping crowns.
Vails are altogether small and round,
ADAPTED to the size of the bonnets. The
latest styles have borders worked with
fine bteel, crystal, or jet beads, in place

The first was of heavy black silk, spot

of black taffetas, put On as loops with
ends, in a white silk embroidery stitch,
and seemingly fastened with small white
mother of pearl buckles. These orna-

sleeves, trimming for the cuffs, and were
repeated, but in diminutive style, down
the front of the waist. -.

Spring CLoAKs AND MANTLEs. ......
The size of the cloaks has diminished
with the size of the hats, and both are,
now as small as it is possible and pre-

long circular cloaks, and basauines. have
ouite disappeared, and in their place we
have scolloped talmas. trimmed with.
festooned cords and tassels. short sacks

and fancy little coats. with lapels open
on the back, and rereys, which Just show
