AT sIMMoNs' HEADQUARTERS. "
At the millinery headquarters in the
Opera House, can be found the styles des-
cribed In the New York fashion reports.
In this Mr.. Simmons keeps up with tn e
head gear are exhibited, and to, his place
we are compelled to go for the latest styles.
These styles show no remarkable variation
| from last year. Black velvet hats and bon.
nets trimmed with golden green of the most
| brilliant shade with shaded crimson or
white, will be the choice for the winter
Few colored velvet hats are seen, and these
are the Sultan, bears ear garnet, or the new
Regina purple, and are designed for ma
| tronly ladies. But the black velvet hats
! are by no means sombre in effect, for
facing, twist and pipings are devised to
give the relief of the most brilliant and
striking contrasts. Large roses of deepest
blush, shaded exquisitely, with pendant
sprays of their own foliage and buds are
favorite adornments, and are worth an ar
lists attention for the skill with which they
are brought to life.
The fashionable red is no longer scarlet,
but crimson, without tinge OF brick red
about it, softening and shading into lovely
rose pink-the most blissful color in the
world. This shaded crimson suits blonde
and brunette alike, and is chosen for garni-
lures in flowers, scarfs and plumes.-I
Wreaths OF marguerites, chrysanthemums,
and large rosebuds of many colors, make
gay, admired trimming for black velvet
hats. Plumes are all small, but several are
worn on hat, completely hiding the ma
terial. Black, white, or garnet are usually
oh NM hofc hoy oh mil
be of the same shade. The aigrete is sindis-
pensable on fashionable hat-a little tuft
of skeleton fibres starting from small
curled plume, giving spirited touch to
hat trimmings.
The Fanchon is reduced in size to the
Fanchonette, and is composed simply of a
puff of velvet, which sits high upon the
head and is richly ornamented with lace
and feathers. IS ats ss4-
Jet has revived, and is used largely, both
as an embroidery upon velvet, and also as
bGndeatt1 and ornaments.
Bonnets being so small, high, striking
colors are admissible, and many are made
of the brightest scarlet, marigold or GRIM
son velvet, subdued with black trimmings,
lace, jet and feathers.
Many round hats, and a little close bon
net named the "FeZ," appear In fine drab
felt, and are tri@med with satin and feath-
ers OF the same shade. This light drab and
a beautiful shade of pink form one of the
prettiest combinations. In several in
stances, scarf ends are attached to the back
of the hat, lined on the outside, or, rather,
faced with the satin trimming, the under
side being drab silk. ef.f-7 7a..5a =.
The Fee bonnet fits close to the head and
Is not very becoming, but has quaint ap-
pearance, with its simple shape and short
plume of elegant ostrich feathers curled up
closely on one side.
The "Higblandn bonnet is one of the most
fashionable designs in black velvet, and it
Is also made in colors and trimmed with
black. 1t consists of full crown with a
rim, the rim covered with band of feathers
and fastened back with a jet ornament
holding Scotch plume on one side.
The Alba bonnet is composed of high
puff Of scarlet velvet, with rich thread lace
vail attached so as to fall over the clignors.
This vail is brought round to the front, fas-
tens under the chin with an ornament, and
falls square upon the breast.
