AN ELEGANT BONNET
Of this color and material is strikinglv graceful
and worthy Of notice. The crown is Of green
velvet aud the brln Is smoothly covered with
the same. The edge has narrow cord OF silver
sewed on. Around the crown are loose folds Of
velvet lined with silk Of pale, delicate sulphur
tint, which shows slightly here aud there. The
face trimming is bandeau OF this same silk,
with clusters OF dainty pink azeleas with dark
green velvet leaves. At the back are fastened
three ostrich tips, one Of like color with the
bonnet, the others OF the exquisite sulphur hue,
tipped with green. One falls towards the back,
the remaining two over the crown. and the end
OF one droops o little over the face trimming.
It is altogether q most elegant little bonnet,
and always attracts host OF admirers. Velvet
hats and bonnets will take precedence as dress
affairs, but those, who have worn the soft, ele-
gant felts are 10th to give them up, hence there
is much rivalry. Fine French chips will be
worn all through the fall, and, protusely
trimmed with velvet, are quite as pretty as we'll
Us appropriate. They come in every desirable
shade and shape. A very pretty one fits close
TO the head, and has hign, tapering crown.

navy-blue silk and dark-red velvet, which ter

Of d8rk-red velvet just inside the brin is gar-
nshed By cluster OF French pinkB aud some
ie,y-hued blossoms. A handsome bonnet Of
the modified cottage shape is Of black velvet,
the high, s1oping crown garnished with pleatcd
folds OF soft, messy plush. The back has nu-
merous loops OF cardinal velvet and two white
ostrich feathers, one curling forward over the
crown, tile other falling down over the velvet
loops. The font is filled in with massed car
dinal velvet. Strings to bc tied under the chin,
satin on one side, gros-grain on the other, conf

Among the last importationk comes most
Indispensable garment known as
. THE FRENCH ULSTER,
and so elegant and stylish is it, as we'll as con-
venient and comfortable, that it has achieved
immediate popularity. It is long, ha1f-t;gat
sacque, gabrielie-shaped in the back. The front

Of medium-sized horn buttons. Jacket1 fronts are
