Hats are decidedly more in favor than
bonne.S this season, the shape of the
honncts not being adapted to the pre-

The fact is, the shade of blue or
green in straw rarely matches the
shade Of blue or green in dress, and
il thev are different, the harmony i
destroyed. Then there is the trimming
to match, aud the glove, and the par
asol. and twenty little details, all Of

The most dressy STYLES of the season
are decidedly the round high, pow
bonnets. made of corded silk, the color
of the dress, and facel with a standing
ruche of lace or the same design in
black hds ornamented with heath,
miruionette or a bunch Of tea roses
Qulte new and very distinguished
diadem shaped hats and bonne.s are
composed OF crepe dc chine. that former
" favorite material which has lately
been revived and Is now working its
wav into more than the favor it once
snjoyed
The Pompadour Is the bonnet par cr-
ccleHce in this material 1t is diadem
shaped. full or putfed over the crown,
shirred upon the brim, and ornamented
with crimped silk, or marahou fringe, or
white Nallenciennes lace We have
also seen some trimmed with ruChes Of
the Grape feathered out white daisies
laid through the centre. and a fringe
formed OF trailing grasses.
We should advise careful judgment
in the selection of hat or bonnet
when the STYLES are SO mixed and varied
by those who can only afford one or
two. Black lace or white straw can be
worn with anything; but the colored
straws and delicate bonnets of crepe and
crepe de chine require toilets correspond
ing to them in costliness and elegance.
The fashion OF wearing bonnets made
of the same material as the dress has
greatly injured millinery as n distinct
branch of trade Nearly all dressmak-
ing establishments now keep one or
more first class milliners TO make up
the bonrets yi slGts with dresses and
