SUMMER BONNETS,

SUMMER B0NNETS.
Summer bonn is are close shapes and real
capotes, with or without curtains The flaring
halo brims are not found among late importa.
tions A superabundance of trimming spois
some of the most expensive models. The Be-
notion or necklace, looped in front below the
chin. is about to be introduced for those who
do not like strings tied at the throat, and yet
like dressy trimming in front. This is made
of the:silk of the trimming, fringed with grass
es and flowers One very effective Benoton is
of cardinal silk, fringed with berries and gild-
ed leaves; the bonnet is the tylish rough straw.
Broad strings Of white crepe lisse edged with a
1uted frill are shown for the bonnets of very
young ladies, who Parisians think, should not
wear lace. Strings and streamers of cream
colored lace are beautifed by having band of
black Insertion down the centre. The Char
lotte Corday bonnets are also imported for
summer Rose pink and cardinal are associat-
ed together for trimming black chip bonnets,
Notwithstanding they are dark enough for win
ter. When white chip bonnets are not found
becoming, the entire front is faced with black
velvet and dark flowers of of-becoming color are
used for face trimming. The c.eam- coored
chip bonnets remain most liked for dress hats,
as they suit with any toilette. Their garniture
is cream-colored silk, two ostrich tips of the
same shade, cream colored ribbon hanging low
behind. Two soft puffs of silk inside the front
make pretty face trimming for travelling bon
nets,
ROUND HATS.
Fewer round hats are imported than former
ly. They are only used for second hats in the
city, but ladies going to the country supply
themselves with dressy hat to wear with
toll nd oil L..
med garden hat for general use. Manila is the
new material for shade hats. This is a fine
light braid, glossy, supple, and not easily in
jured by weather. IL comes in broad flats,
with large crown and wide brim woven all in
one piece. The front is dented to form Marie
Stuart point. Under the brim is stiff
band wrapped with ribbon, and framing the
face. The trimmings are ribbons of two shades
such as pink with cream, aud wreath of shad-
ed leaves, or else two short ostrich tips. These
are meant for Newport, Saratoga, or other gay
summer resorts, and cost $25 or $50. Very
handsome Leghorn hats of the same
large shape have facing of black velvet
around the face, ginning an inch from the
edge of the brim, and leaving that much of the
brim bare. Outside are black velvet loops,
creamy lace, and ostrich tips.
Round hats for city wear, shopping and
travelling are toques, the Rubens hat turned up
on one side, and turbans. The toques are more
shallow than those now worD, and instead of
coming close down on the sides, the brims pro-
ject there just as they do in front. The back
is turned up, though not closely against the
crown, and is indented in scallops. The trim
ming is massed below the back of the brim and
on top of the crown. The Rubens hats sent
out from Paris are made very dressy by having
face trimming under the brim and being
worn far back on the head. Those of white
English straw have roll of white silk and
black velvet OF face trimming; this roll has
clusters of loops on the left side where the
brim turns up, and in their midst is a crescent
of silver holding a white ostrich plume that
passes over the crown. The Prince of Wales
round hats have the brim slightly turned down
all around, and an open netted scarf is thrown
over and around the crown. Black ostrich tips
and gros grain ribbon, with ornamental
brooches, trim English walking hats and
Derby-shaped chips. The English walking
hats have rolled brims that curve instead of
being fatty pressed against the crown. Tur-
down on the forehead. They are especially
liked by very young ladies, and are worn with
the hair arranged very high in a small French
twist, or else with very short fluffy curls.
There are also round hats with high pointed
crowns, known as Centennial shapes. These
are eccentric, but are considered stylish, and
are very becoming to fresh young faces. The
rough satin-face straws also appear in round
hats, and are preferred to chip when white
hats are worn.
HOUSE AND RECEPTION DRESSES.
In modiste's room filled with house and re-
ception dresses it is inevitable that dresses of
black grenadine should be shown at this season,
when ladies are preparing their watering-place
and Motel outfits. Imported dresses of black
grenadine come in stripes, plaids, or small bro
caded designs, and when meant for the house
only, are combined with rich color, such as
cardinal red or violet silk.
WHITE MUSLIN SUITS.
White muslin suits are not very largely i'm
ported. Old colored ribbon bows are used to
give them an air of distinction, and the over
dress s!a polonaise shaped behind like those
already described, and cut off short in front to
how tablier rows of embroidered ruffles on the
