DoSNETS AND HATS.
With the sprlng costumes of cashmere and
silk which are now 30 fashionable, dressy bon
acts of silk or lace, or OF silk and lace com.
blnpd, are worn Streamers, however, are
rapidly being donned, and are In great variety;
puy for tnOse who desire 1t, and grave for
IN ,se of quiet tastes In shape, bonnets aud
hais are In many cases almost Identical, and
pair of strings may not uDtrequently transform
q round hat lntO bonnet. Two styles OF
trimming are seen, both equally fhshlonaotei
the ornamentation placed In front, or the front
plain or encircled by band only, and the
trimming massed at the back, both flowers
and ribbon. This later style seems most prev
alent, and is especially true In regard to the
round hat. COronets Of daisies and other
fayorite flowers are frequently seen placed on
the high front of spriug bonneis, or large
rose on zone side, with trailing spray or
grasses falling behind. Wild flowers are again
10 vogue, owing probably To- the influence ol
goods Ia the rage at present. The Dolly var
den hat Is much worn by young ladies: It Is
q kind of gussey, the brlm lined with silk and
turned up at the back. II Is trimmed with
loops of ribbon and long ends. A spray of
Eiglish roses is placed on one side; sometimes
another smaller one under the brim.
OTHER NOVELTIES.
The flowing sleeves and dresses worn open
at the throat, which are now 40 much seen,
have given rise TO sume novelties in the way
OF ornaments for the neck and wrists. A
necklace and wristlets OF black velvet are fas-
tened with small gold buckles brought out for
that purpose. They are In sets of three, an
inch and half long and an Inch wide.
CoIsretes of black velvet are also seen
slightly embroidered, and ornamente6 with
white gr,oure lace. They are cut open
at The t.ck and extend to the waist in
front, where they cross and terminate IN
the pointed tab, set OF by a DOW. Ihey
NAV be worn with plain dresses, OF cash
mere goats hair, or serge, but will also give
style to co o.tumes of thin material, particularly
whites. Fancy aprons are very fashioD" lie,
made In the liner qualities of white Ids
and prellily trimmed, or Of black silk em0roi-
dered with chenille or floss elk In natural
colors.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE HAIR.
The hair Ia usually arranged simply 10 chat
cline braid, for which, on dressy occasions,
flowing clrs may be substituted. Again, the
hair may be brushed OF the temples and rails

the back by large Tor olse shell comb. Young
