wear. They nre generally puffed
lengthwise, and ornamented with tulle
scarfs, which we have already de-
scribed, and very rich flowers, with
frosted or icy foliage. Falls of silk
fringe are also employed with good
effect. The strings generally com
mence at the point Of the waterfall
and are thence brought down under
the chin. So shallow arc the shapes,
that the strings almost form the sides
of the bonnet.
Grape is very ,nuch worn, fulled or
folded over silk. When the bounet is
thin, the front rs generally bouud an
inch deep with silk matching the
Grape. Grape, and Grape liese, match
ing the bonnet in color, are both ems
ploycd for inside ruchings.
At the same establishment we find
the greatest variety IF crystal and
fancy ornaments, which, however, We
will not bo able to enunerate, AS we
must say a few words about round
hats.
One of the newest styles is Scotch
cap with a lnelou. shaped crown made
OF light, scalloped-edged straw, the
'ndeuture in tho crown beng very
deep. Another shape, termed the
Cracovienne, tas q square crown. An.
other shape still is full, round crown, ,
with narrow brim, the same size all
round. The cap-shape, however, seems
to DC the most popular with young
ladies. There are, OF course, many
other very graceful shapes, but those
we have mentioned we think will be
,'e most fashionable, as they are made
az III all sizes, from babies to ladies'
A novelty, however, consists in cutting
away one.half the crown. and filling
in the space With black lace finished
with ribbons and flowers. Another
variation Of this style has quite d long,
dropping crown of lace; this we do not
like. 1t is kind of compromise
between bonnet and bat, and not
very pretty.
Another fat, called the Havelock,
the crown cut away AMI u very long
bag crown Of colcred silk attached, in
which the hair is arranged This is
more novel than pretty, but would
answer very we'll for travelling hat,
as the waterfall would be protected
from the dust.
The most elegant trimmings are
black and white ribbons, brocaded or
the edge or down the centre, in a rich
cashmere pattern. Heavy ribbons
with scaloped edges fringed. Scarfs
Of black lace, Jet, straw and enamel
ornaments; flowers and feathers, also
Brazilian beetles, in their peculiar bril-
liant shade Of green. This shade of
green has ;.lsp been introduced in a
few ribbons and feather ornaments for
round hats.
The new color known as "mcon or
the lake" we think very poeticaI
but inappro orlate title. 1t is a very
rich, lovely shade of pearl color, and
nothing more. This shade is extreme
ly fashionable, and can be had in rib
bons, silks, crepes, feathers and flowers.
AS Mr.. Brodie's speciality is wraps,
we found at his establishment, in Canal
street. near Broadway, New York, a
magnificent collection Of elegant and
graceful models, which cannot fail to
| give univerSa! satisfaction.
Among the less costly are the short,
!nose cloth sacks Of almost every hue.
They are made with straight collar,
coat sleeves and pockets; breast pockets
are frequently simulated by trimming.
Some are Of a lovely shade of pearl
colored cloth with diagonal cords;
Others Of Chinese grounds, with soft,
