into three hundred and fifty different varie-
ties, among which are shapes and styles to
suit every face, though some were descended
from the Gorgons and others from Venus |
herself
This multiplication of forms possesses
great advantage over the that or none,
fashions which prevailed some years ago.
Features long or round, broad or narrow,
bands curls or braids, all had to be hidden
under the scoop or shovel, the narrow crown
and the enormus cap, which flared above the
head and laid low, upon the neck, and bid
not protect the face.
Being woman and wearing chignon,
say, decidedly, long live the little bonnets.
BY far the larger proportion of bonnets
| on exhibition are made of fancy straw, but
| we notice some decided novelties. One of
these has crown made entirely of White
marabout feathers, and narrow brim of
pufled white Grape, divided by routeauG of
satin A large pink rose, placed low at the
side forms the only ornament, with the
exception Of the crostie dropes, and rich
blonde barbes for strings, were crossed in
front and fastened with rose.
The Marie Antoinctte is new shape,
odd, almost grotesque in the hand, but not
unbecoming upon the head. 1t has flat
crown, a small flaring brim and no cap
It lays close to the top OF the head and the
narrow brim perks up with sort of coquet-
tsh daring which is Irresistible when the
face beneath is young and pretty.
The Marie Stuart Fanchon is found very
becoming. 1t is deeply pointed in 'front.'
and point is formed at the back by a lace
: scarf, the centre of which falls over the CHG
non, while the ends are brought forward ant
crossed under the chin.
The Bergere hat has low crown and {
r narrow somewhat rolled brim, which extend
r all the way round and forms sort of cap
g behind. The brim is sometimes bent to form
e a kind of Gypsy" and it nearly Away

~ A simple yet pretty design was compose

il enlarged by double putting of white Grape

Is velvet This putting was inserted betwee
is the crown and brim of straw, the latter edge

re The Castilian, a variation from the Cat
lane, is pointed upon the front but squa
behind. One model was in blue Grape, dt
