One of the fashion writer's tells of a
bonnet of pale mauve in uncut velvet,
of the newest and most fascinating en-
oire shape, was trimmed above the cur
tain with a narrow gold band, fastened
on each side with costly and beauti-

the crown in puff, held in by cherry
velvet, tied beneath the chin with bow
and ends of cherry velvet ribbon.
