Tea roses with autumn foliage, which trim one

chantilly lace. Two pairs OF strings are at

Evening bonnets, which are very lovely, are
made OF black and white real blonde lace
They are trimmed with costly flowers clusters
and delicate sprays mingled with feathers and
tips. More costly bonnets are made of more
expensive lace. Some of these deliberately
trimmed with point or chantilly are marked al
so and Slo0.
In hats there is every variety from the high
crown and broad brim to the pretty and becom
ing turban. Many OF them are so elaborately
trimmed that the material which covers the
frame is, with the exception Of the brm, en-
tirely concealed. One Of black velvet is adorned
in front with large spray Of jet, and loops of
gros grain ribbon. Black ostrich feathers which
are mingled with a cluster of roses OF variable
colors. cover the hat. Wide ribbon forms bow
at the back, with the ends falling over the CHG

The manner OF dressing the hair, to be worn
with hat or bonnet, is a matter OF some con-

which are worn with full dress, are composed of
medalions, ovals or stars, set with Jewels.
Wreaths OF exquisite flowers, which are mounted
in diadem forms, and which rest lightly on the
waves or curls of the front hair, are exceedingly
pretty. of course natural flowers are always in
vogue, and nothing is prettier with ball or party
costume than the fragrant blossoms which adorn
the front or the sides of an evening couture.
Ribbon bows, which are attached to rings or
pins. remain in vogue, and the heavy wreaths
which were at one time worn above the bridal
veil, have been replaced by small birds and
flowers.
MISSES AND VERY YONG GIRLS

generally tied together with a ribbon. Little
