FALL BONNETs.

FALL BONNETs
Bonnetsof regular shape, with strings,
are provided by French milliners al
most to the exclusion of round hats.
The strings are not necessarily tied in
front, but may DO fastened behind or
passed around the neck in the way tulle
is no v done. There is fancy for max
ing the bonnets of the demi- season of
velvet and silk, without flowers or
feathers. This is natural reaction af-
the profusion of flowers worn during
the summer, aud will not last after the
gay winter season begins. There are
other imported bonnets for autumn
completely trimmed with birds wings.
Sometimes six wings are on each side of
the bonnet. These are the email wings
of farks, stariings and blackbirds, and
are sold in pairs, AZ the right and left
wings must be placed in natural posi-
ton. Sill another capricious trimming
is wings a Ia Mercure-a pair of wings
arranged Mt the back Just as they are
on Mercnry's cap. Birds will also be
much used for trimming. These are
quite large birds. such ~ pigeons, the
bird. of-the-isles, the loPh0phore and
various others with brouzed shaded
plumage. French m;llihers poise those
moot fantastic ways. Thus a largo
bird is placed low on tho back of

Touffes or clusters of roscA il she new
floral trimming. This is three soft
roses crushed together and made the
center OF long looped bows of velvet.
The three roses may be all of one color,
or else blush rose, a. creamy tea rose
and a dark red damask may be placed
together in a touffe. Marguerites and
similar flowers are used together in the
same way.
Red is no longer used for accessories
of French bonnets. The fancy fos pop
pies has wearied every one with it, The
dark cardinal red is, however, still
popular here, and will continue so.
Brown, steel color, and navy blue are
the prevailing colors in milliners' goods.
Felt will be very much used for second
best bOnnets. For dress occasions will
be velvet bonnets trimmed with wings
and a toufte.
