\ There is loose, goOd-siZed mantle, with

Lace shawls and thin b,rnooses are In
high vogue, with light toilets. Lace shawls,
especially since the introduction of Llama
lace, are considered indispensable to a
wardrobe, by ladies of almost all classes.
The so-called French lace, an imitation
OF Chantilly, make cheapand nice looking
shawls and other articles while they are
fresh; but French lace is entirely destitute
of any element of durability, and shrinks
into nothing if touched by water. In ap-
pearance, and in all serviceable qualities,
Llama lace, or dentele des modes, as it is
sometimes called, is greatly superior.
BoNNETs AT SIMMONS HEADQUARTERS.
Looking over the immense stock of this
great fashionable millinery emporium, we
find but little change of style to report.
This is proof positive that there has been
no change. for we would find all the latest
styles at this house. go ~ lsii5
= Just now the small bonnets have reached
the minimum of littleness. OF straw there
is only narrow strip, which serves as a
foundation for the garland of s1owers or
leaves, and as support for the lace falling
at the back and crossing in the front as
ornamental strings. ise. l.ri - s.lof,.
This style has been common in silk, tulle
and straw all the season. New and fresh,
1t possesses q certain grace, particularly If
worn in conjunction with an elegant toilet;
but the lace soon looks u:tidy and stringy
with use, especially il it is of a common
quality, and then the bonnet looks shabby
and spoils the entire toilet. 'tae iIa
The fashionable straw bonnets are of
beautiful qualities of Italian and other
fancy manufactures. The favorite method
of trimming is with black lace and gar

SO becoming has been worn in their place.
For carriage costume and morning visits
little pouf bonnet of white tulle is worn,
with tulle lappets, which tie under the
chignon behind. A wreath of white lilac
is generally carried across the front, and
forms a necklace.
The fashionable chignon now forms
mass of ringlets. III
The new diadem bonnet is very different
from the diadem fanchon of spring it is
more strictly in accordance with its name.
1t matters very little>of what the diadem3
may be made-tulle or Grape, crinoline, rice
or fancy straw-for it is extremely small,
and entirely covered by diadem of flow
ers, at the back of which is placed a droop-
ing aigrette of flowers. The bonnet is
bound round the edge with a srouleau of
satin. -, = 49, 80 ytsisssg sec 4. !
The present tendency of the bonnet is,
to rise higher and higher above
the forehead. 1t is mere baudeau, coro-
net or diadem, which leaves the, head and
ears completely uncovered. The strings
are as often as not tied under the achignon,
and the question of streaming ends at the
back is also left TO choice.
Whatever flowers; are chosen for the dia-
dem the leaves are metallic, more frequent
ly of q golden brown color than green
Feather flowers are also very, fashionable.
We see perfect collection of insects, es-
pecially flies, bIuebottles, bees and beetles,
swarmed once more within the domain of
fashion, and sporting upon the flowers
which adorn our bonnets and coiffure.-l
These are no limitations; ), they are the real
insects dried, prepared, painted and var
nisbed. 3-.
Hats are. some of them, larger than bon
nets s--not the Vatican hat, however, which
Is extremely small. As the very last nop-l
Dedste, we have to mention some Marie Am
toinette hats entirely composed of ruches
Df lace. The lace is begun in the center,
and then arranged in circles to form the
hat. Long, but not very wide ribbon
strings are left to stream down loose at the
back. A bunch of field flowers is placed
On one side. Sometimes the hat is made of
,Olored Spanish blonde, with flowers and |
ribbon to match. Another pretty hat is |
round, with turned up brim-like wings on |
