caprlclous, One Va NJ
least, is to be approved of; it is that
which has put down the toquet of
what use to lady was that small, flat,
round saucer; slanting over the nose,
hiding the eyes-the best of all features
in the feminine face-and leaving the
lower part of the face quite unprotected
"a trying ordeal to many faces, espe-
cially after the first bloom and-rounded
contour Of youth have vanished.
II YOU want to see something really
pretty, try on your best-looking Gus
toner the Marie Antoinctte hat, with
wide brim of rice straw, bent down both
in front and at the back, with a crown
of blue crepe de Chine, trimmed with
white lace, and scarf of blue Grape
forming a torsade round it. The hat is
turned mp on one side, with a large
pinked out bow; on the other side a
smaller bow is finished off with long
tassels. The rice straw brim is lined
with blue Grape.
Should this hat seem too large to
lady, try the Lavalliere-a fine Leghorn
hat with brim also lowered, and very
high crown, trimmed round with black
velvet and with bunch OF varied roses
at the side, whence springs a black
aigrette. ,.
The Fontanges hat has most d.s-
tinq,te air; it is copied from portrait
1t is a white straw hat with a high
crown, and brim turned up with blue
crepe de Chine. 1t is trimmed with a
large bunch and trailing sprays Of wild
blue flowers, and with long curled
blue feather.
The Bohemien chapeau, Of Italian
straw, will certainly find favor with our
STYLISH bellies. We noticed one which is
a perfect bijou, the brim bound with
rich scarlet velvet, adorned with jet
ornaments on the left side, beautifully
arranged, with full ruche of scarlet
crepe de chine, the veil fastened in front,
dropping over the right side of.the
crown, where it is iastened with a bunch
of French flowers, wide strings, tied
carelesslv on the left side.
Plush hats, are trimmed with velvets-
colors, rich emerald, deep scarlet, and
stylish brown. The high crowns are
coming down, flowers and gros-graIn
ribbons, are in vogue.
Bonnets are little larger than those
worn last winter, and for the fall wear
thick straw of all kinds will be fash
ionable. The most beautiful among a
number Of rich bonnets was one made
of black thread lace, ornamented with
French flowers, wide ribbons, to be tied
on the side.
Some very pretty morning toilets
have lately made their appearance.
One is made with skirt of white foul,
ard, and is bordered with plated
flounce of mauve silk, headed by two
mauve ruches. The tunic and bodice
are of mauve silk; the former is edged
with fringe, above which there are three
bias bands of white ioulard. 1t Is
looped up on one side with a white
and mauve bow; the sleeves are white
trimmed with mauve.
Another is made with a blue skirt
trimmed with three flounces, gathered
at the top. There is plating above
the third flounce, which forms a head
ing to it. Black silk tunic and fchu
both edged with a plated ruche. The
fichu forms a pelerine at the back, and
crosses in front 1t fastens behind un'
der blue bow and ends. Blue bodice
and blue bow in the hair.
Some stylish model nantes have
been lately exhibited. One style is a
short paletot of light grey cashmere
it is loose in front and tight-ftting at
the back, with wide open sleeves. This
paletot It's entirely covered with grey
silk braid work, and is edged all round
with tassel fringe of grey silk. There
is a narrow scalloped-out collar, edged
with grey satin round the neck, and a
cord and tassel Of grey silk gimp to
fasten the paletot in front. This model
is made in various other colors, and
also of black cashmere braided with
white.
The polonaise for street wear, will be
readily appreciated and adopted by our
stvlish bellies and tasty danes.
Tho fashion called the Versailles,
Just suited to a graceful figure, has a
Vatican back with a square yoke,
which is continued over the fronts in
deep pelerine tabs. The fronts are
halfftting, confined by belt, which
proceeds from underneath the plaits in
the back, thus forming an arrangement
bv which the skirt can be looped in q
Camargo puff Another sample, yet
having a peculiar grace of It's own,
called the Ethelind
Overskirts are now in vogue, and are
very long and full, simple in construc-
ton, paniers and fanciful shapes being
very generally discarded. Among the
countless beautiful designs we can but
notice the "Henriquez, especially in
tended for evening toilet, and bewltch-
ing it is, as its name implies; the
Nilsson graceful enough to be worn
by the lovely cantatrice herself, and
the Fernando which will as surely
become a leading favorite as did its
namesake, The designs for waterproof
cloaks and suits bring to our minds the
dreary winter approaching, and bid us,
while it is vet afar off, prepare for its
storms of snow and rain The desi gns
in children's garments are appropriate,
stylish and so varied tina it is almost
impossible to select the n ost beautiful.
The Media dress will just suit the miss
of fifteen, with its jaunty overskirt,
open in front, a cunning little pocket
on each side. The wv eston' suit will
be the pride and ambition Of boys from
six to ten, while for mammals darlings,
still Younger, are the Scotch suits for
bows, and. cunning little dresses and
jackets for the girls.
In jewelry several novelties have
made their appearance, and we are glad
