worn at weddings and ceremonious calls,
the white bonnet which was considered
essential, is now completely abandoned,
and bonnets to match the dress are u
dopted in the highest G1l,s. II even the
toilet is dark one, the bonnet matches
it. but is rendered more dressy by trim
ming it with point dAnglete'Te or 6inch,
and adding feathers Of Light hue.
Felt is decidedly the fashionable mate
!: rial for hats, and the Aguew is the fa-
vorite shape. The crown is encircled
with a torsade partly Of velvet and partly
OF gros grain, the brlm is lined with BLACK
velvet, and turned up ut the sides; the
feather is often bird of paradise. Wher
ostrich plumes are used, two very full
5 ones are fastend in front with a large bow
= and are crossed ut the back On the top o.
the chignon. This looks well, especially
