perfectly plain Empire bonnet, with square front,
hard round top and fat crown, finished off with
ridiculous little chip Of Il curtain, is now impossible
to be found in the showroom of any well-regulated
fashionable milner But the improvements upon
its stiffness are wonderfully pleasing to any eye that
loves TO dwell on lovely forms Greyous to state, the
unsshty waterfall continues to hold its place in de-
spite Of all that has been said in its dsavor; but re-
liable authorities state cmphatcally that before next
summer bonnetS will be made to cover the back hair.
Looking in yesterday ut several of our prominent
millinery establishments, we were much pleased with
the new styles. which, to our mind, well calcu-
lated to please the most astidious tastes. The new
est and most beautiful bonnets which have been made
may be described as follows:
An evening bonnet of white tulle, covered over the
top and crown with bands of white velvet, the
tulle putting out between out between the bands and
sprinkled with little golden stars. The curtain and
lower part of the crown covered with grape leaves of
pale waXen description, in white silk, and bound
with gold; the tcndrels Of Golden thread and long
straws of gold string with white crystal beads lavish
ly mtcrminged, producing startingly novel and
beautiful effect. Across the front, and inside the
bonnet, the trimming of the has the great ad-
vantage Of being equally suitable to all complications
AT one establishment we greatly admired an ex-
tremely handsome bonnet in black and golden vel
vet The crown and curtain were lightened in effect
by puings Of tule. showing daintily through the
velvet folds and contrasting well with both colors of
velvet. The outside trimming consisted of two large
pale yellow roses and one half blown but forming
almost the handsomest cluster of flowers that could
be made. Inside were face trimmings of the same
set above band Of black velvet; the strings of black
ribbon.
4 bonnet of pale mauvc in uncut velvet, of the
newest and most fascinating empire shape trimmed
above the curtain with narrow gold band fastened
each side with costly and beautiful clasp will prove

and extremely rich: tiny humming bird may hold
the long floating veil clasped on the bonnet The
face trimmings may be half blown pink rose, and
delicate cluster of pale leaves Sprinkled over with
golden stars. Strings Of mauye ribbon. perfect
little evening bonnet may be made of handful Of

the front a braid Of cherry velvet, and white tulle
strings, long. wide and full tied beneath the chin
with bow and ends Of cherry velvet ribbon. We
cannot fancy anything more simple pretty, elegant
and becoming.
First-class authorities declare that there are only
ihrco forms of autumn mantlcS. The casaque, which

about to be made to shorten the dresses for prone
