FALL AND WINTER BONNETs.
As regards the beauty of the endless va
riety of shapes for bonnets for the fall and
winter, the less said upon the subject the
better, for even the milliners acknowledge
them hideous and that they must be great
| ~ modified to become popular. The hOrr1d
little foundations are however, almost com
| pletely concealed beneath trimmings of
rich fabrics of exquisteIy combined colors
| beautifully tinted feathers and flowers,
| bronzed leaves and fine laces. The head
covering, whether bonnet or hat, is placed
! very far back upon the chignon, leaving
the forehead and frizzed front hair quite
uncovered, and this fashion, milliners tell
us, Is universally becoming. High Tevers
coronets are ON almost all bonnetso but
capes are rarely seen Tong ends ana loops
| of ribbon and lace hang from the back of
the bonnet low down on the shoulders. A
folded band encircles the crown, and from !
the left side of this spring trimmings that
pass directly across the crown These trim
mings are usually two long, wide loops, laid
upward upon the crown a sharp pointed
wing, and two ostrich tips, that curl toward
the right side, giving additional height to
the crown. jet ornament is at the right
side, and sometimes a jet bandeau in 'front.' |
Bonnets and round hats are trimmed SINH |
larry, and indeed almost the only difference
between the round hat and the sailor bon |
net is in the strings of the latter and they
are frequently omitted
The Cavalier" hat, with pointed brim in
front and turn up at the sides, bids fair to
be the general fayorite in the line of hats,
and il is the most becoming shape for the
generality of faces.
BONNETs.
A black velvet bonnet was made with
plain velvet on the crown, and piped with
sky blue faille. Two great loops on the
left side show their blue faille lining; a
wing of bronze color and blue is placed in
the loops and a vine of bronzed leaves and
faded tea rose is pendant in lace scarf
behind.
A black straw bonnet Of soft fine straw
was trimmed with velvet coronet and wide.
black, watered ribbon, which, with reseda
velvet is twined about the crown A Jet
ornament is on the side and long black
ostrich plume curls over the crown and falls
on the chignon.
HATS.
A Nile green velvet hat has facings Of the
deepest myrtle green. Nile green watered
ribbons and willow plume Of pale and
dark green complete the trimming.
A fine black straw hat, cavalier shape,
had rose colored facing of pink faille, stud
ded with fine jet. A wide, black watered
ribbon was placed around the crown On
the left side cluster of pink roses and two
small black ostrich tips. On the right side
was a jet ornament ;
hat of fine lavender coIored straw
was trimmed with wide watered ribbon Of
darker shade of lavender. The ribbon ID r
wound around the crown with black lace t
scarf, and a cluster of roses with bronze
caves is placed on the left side, with two
black ostrich tips The hat is faced with '
pink. c
We notice a few of those bideous bowl I
haped hats trimmed, and waiting purehas- h
RS, at the milliners', but, ladies, please let b
hem wait there, because they detract so t
much beauty from your fair faces. To i
afely wear one Of those hideous inverted II
owls lady's face must be so fair that one b
will only be attracted by the face, and for II
ct to notice the head covering. We were e
realty amused the other day while stand
lg at the counter Of one Of our principal
anal street dry goods establishment. A r. r.
'dy came into the store with oneof those q
ideous inverted bowls on her head. b,

ressing us and himself at the same time, Y
she is not pretty enough for thatr' L
