TL
IFrom the n. Y. Evening Post, I'd
1t is too early to decide as to the
styles of bonnets which will be gen.
orally adopted, but it is settled that
the bonnet of the coming season is to
be smaller than those of last, with
little trimming at the sides, and no
strings. A beautiful evening bonnet
of white tullo has point applique lace
crossing the back and falling in front;
the ends are joined by a bow of tuile
covered with fern. Vines of green
fern cross the front, with tendrils
running over the entire bonnet.
Another is made entirely of folds of
c~orn-colored and brown satin, and
trimmed with jet marguerites. A
Neapolitan is trimmed with pufings
of white lace and orange flowers, with
q fall of lace at the back. A bonnet
of black lace has a h~alf-opened rose
In front, with trailing vines falling at
the side. a white satin bonnet is
trimmed with pufhngs Of white lace
and a wreath of sweet peas and green
leaves. a fancy straw Is trimmed in
fashionable green. with sprays of
wheat across the front.
A new style OF round hat, called
the Rosalind, is of fancy straw; it is
without brim, somewhat in the shape
Of the TOque, high In the centre. with
a loop of green satin on one side, and
white lace. edged with green satin
ribbon, falling at the back.
Very pretty paper bon1ets are O n TX
hibition, prepared expressly for MILL
ners as patterns and costing but a
trihe, while a real pattern bonnet
costs twenty OF thirty dollars. These
designs have been found to answer
the same purpose as models. A very
pretty design for a bridal hat, with a
wreath OF orange flowers, in paper, is
attractive.
DRESSES.
An elegant dress of lavender pop
lin is made, hcskirt goring front and
sides, the back breadths full and
trained without trimming upon the
bottom of the skirt. a putting of
satin, the same shade as the material,
commencing at the belt on the first
side serms, slopes down a half yard
across the first side breadth, then
curves to the seam Joining the back
and sides, and is finished with a small
bow bound with satin. Satin putting
made In reversed plaits-is set on

pointed at the back and rounded in
front; below this putting is a row of
heavy fringe. A single row Of putting
around the hand was the only trim
ming upon the sleeve. A cape, to be
worn with it, if desired, is trimmed
to correspond; the front passing
under the belt, extends a half yard
below it; the back has two or three
plaits at the fall of the shoulder to
give it fullDess, and is cut round. and
caught up above a fan-bow. with lone
wide loops at the belt.
A gray m9rino wrapper is cut Ca
brielle; the lieams of the back breadth
covered with folds of the anne. edged
with satin a shade lighter, the same
band slopes from the seams of the
front around the back; and those
covering the front seams extend over
the shoulder. Large satin buttons,
with loops, join it, and there are six
rows Of satin folds across the lower
part Of the front breadth.
SUITS.
An elegant suit Of heavy black
silk, trimmed With satin and fringe,
attracts much attention. A pretty
