son advances, and flowers Of all kinds
are used even In greater profusion. An
evening bonnet much admired had an
open front, with an indentation at the
side of the brim, the crown rather
peaked at the back. The frame was
covered with ivory.white silk, pleated
loosely around the outside, but drawn
tightly over the crown. On the left
side 4 hugo bow secured the ends Of
three creamy marabout feathers Of un-

bouquet OF carmine and tea-roses, set
on how Mt the back, from which de-
pended two long, creepy strings. A
novelty is q new fancy glace braid,
which Is recommended AZ making ex-
ceedingly light hats and bonness. The
Normandy cap, which made for itself
such an enviable reputation during the
winter, has by no means 's'gone OUT
Many Of the handsomest bonnets, both
domestic and imported, are after this

do not seem to have gained the
anticipated popularity. Our Amer

we shrink from such Z conspicu-
Gus trimming for street dresses;
but the new importations are SO tempt
ingly beautiful, II is feared we cannot
long resist the Paris dictum. Galloon
has become the favorite trimming for
bunting costumes. A black one lately

cording to theshape for young children,
that Is, the body IL cut low. plain, and
somewhat loose, all the fulness Of the
skirt being gathered behind In deep
pleats. Awide ribbon bow confines
the waist, finished ut the left side with
double bow and long steamers. So

been made mostly OF plain materials,

long ends tied loosely In front, are
much in vogue for ladies who object to
appearing without an outer wrap. The
black ones are either Of light drap
d'ete, or have deep insertion of pecu.
liar embroidered French lace. Light
ones are more dressy, and exceedingly
becoming. One which we saw was Of
an ecru creepy material, finished around
the edge with light blue and ecru
braid. Huge punches Of dark red
aggripina roses and yellow marshal
nt lis, either natural or artificial, are
worn without foliage at the left side Of
the belt.
Many of the new black fans have ex-
quisite feathery foliage painted on satin
grounds, violets, mignonette, and
meadow grasses furnish designs which
are thrown across the cent re, instead OF
occupying but one side, as formerly.
For evening dresses, white fans
painted silk, satin. or kid, with land
scapes and figures In the Louis Quat-
ore style, are used. Fine embroidery
on satin fans is also becoming popu-
lar.
The newest neckties consist of Jap
anese embroidery, worked in quaint
colors on either black or white grena.
