on round hats. New Jet orna-
ments for bonnets are oval pendents an inch
in length. They look heavy, but are really
lighter than the balls Of last season. Ooronets
are higher and more branching than ever,
and terminate at the left side in an aigrette
of trembling stems of fine jet. The frou-frou

favorite materials for evening and dinner
dress. The draped front breadth is novelty
that must be seen to be appreciated. The
presiding genius of one of our leading houses
has been for many years designer to the court
