Before describing sBonnets it will be
necessary to say that there isa change
in the arrangement of the hair. The
new couture for day wear consists of a
single chatelaine braid on top. The
front hair is parted in the center and
brought down low on the forehead in
long ripping waves, which are far. more
becoming than the false frizzes and
fringes that ladies have worn so long.
BOnnets haye large. low, crowns, that
fit the head simply, and high,
broad coronets. Velvet laid smoothly
over the frame is the chosen material
for winter. Soft twilled silk, mingled
with velvet, is used for trimming. Near
ly all hornets have face trimming OF
silk and velvet puffs, or wreath of tiny
rose-buds mixed with lace. A few have
a band of feather trimming all around
The effect is very pretty, bus becoming
to bat few faces. Two demi-' ong
plumes are prepared for bonnets, while
q single long ostrich plume is used for
round hats FL .,.---.-.... H..
Shaded ostrich feathers have been in
troduced this season. They are very
handsome and very expensive, bat have
failed to find favor, as most ladies pre-

Bonnets are chosen to match the
principle costume of the weaaeF, or else.
black bonnet is selected which can
be worn with various dresses. -.
For evening wear the bonnets are
frightened with light ostrich tips and
fancifnl face trimmings. Some steel
and jet ornaments appear upon hornets,
but they require to be used with great
caution. .-....-..-

The short mask veil is again in favor,

last season - ..s e.- ............
Long gloves. fastenened with three or.
four buttons, are chosen in dark shades
to match the costume. To wear with
black and various dresses, shades of
gray and buff are preferred =:
Rufus are made Of the material of the
dress, lined with the same OF with a be-
coming color Another fancy is to
make them entirely of coloTed silk,
and use in the place of a rec1<tie. They
must be very full and pIeated either in,
side pleats or double box pleats In
side of the dress .Iff is a similar ruff
of muslin, lace, crepepelisse or tulle.
Small bows of i.bbon, or else of
double silk, are favorite ornaments this

the front or left side of the belt, and
also back of the neck, in Vatican fash
