Summer BOnnets.

THE leading milliners find the yellow
rough straw bonnets and the rough
threaded gauzes very popular with their
most stylish customers. These take such
new departure from the smooth sur
faces so long in vogue that lovers of
novelty cannot resist them, yet fine
French chip bonnets and English spit
straws with plain silk or satin trimmings
are by nc means abandoned. Among
the most unique bonnets are those
trimmed with berries, currants, or other
small fruits, and the combination of
colors on some of these could only have
been harmonized by an artist in cclors.
One from famous French house is a
rustic straw capote, with the crown
banded with three kinds of satin ribbon
folded together, viz: bronze green, pale
blue, and cream color; and to brighten
these fade shades are clusters of large
red Strawberries, with some of their
white blossoms and green leaves. A Sec
ond rough straw bonnet of dark navy
blue shade has for its tri-colored ribbon
bands navy blue with currant red and
straw color, while the fruits upon it are
large punches of red and white currants
Grapes of purple and brown shades are
used in the same way on black lace bon
nets for elderly ladies, and cherries
red, black and yellow-are still popular
on black and round straws of creamy
white.
Some very dressy bonnets of white
chip are cr0wnless when first bought, but
are effectively trimmed by filling this
crown with flowers. In one of these the
stylish combination of pink and DARK
damask red is shown. Roses without
foliage, of pale pink and dark Jacque
minot red, fill up the crown; the face
trimming is pink crepe lisse pleating, ant
the satin strings are dark red. ColoreC
lisses are seen on the newest bonnets, no
only as pleatings in front, but as bands
around the crown and for the scar
strings that are fastened on the back o.
the bonnet. Another novelty for these
strings is linen cambria edged with poin
duchesse or else Honiton lace. Thes'
are in keeping with the French chip bon
nets that are trimmed with pale blut
gros grain and clusters of lilacs or wis
tarias. Velvet strings are also seen OF
Partisan boDnets.
Black net dotted with gold or witt
straw is used for trimmings and string
of black chip bonnets. When gold
dotted net is used, there is a little gil
braid for binding the edges of the bon
net; in some cases there are corone
brims entirely covered with rows of gol(
braid; similar rows of gold braid alst
edge black satin ribbon, which is held il
thick clusters of loops, and passes aroun,
the crown. Black Spanish lace, witt
dotted center and scalloped edges, is pu
on dressy black or white chips for strings
and also as support on topf for cluste
of pink coral roses; yellow wild roses ar
used in the same way. Gay India rib
bons and lophophore breasts are on othe
black bonnets Ladies of quiet taste
and those in light mourning have fold
Of silk gauze in small armure figures, o
else roughly threaded chenille gauzes
] for trimming their second, best bonnets
Mixed ecru and brown rough straws il
plaids or bars are stylish for travelling
bonnets; they are trimmed with brown
blue or green velvet folds, a cluster 0
game feathers in olive shades, and
large smoked-pearl buckle. Bronze-col
ored and olive-tinted chips are chosen t.
match handsome travelling costumes;
wreath of mignonette and birds wings o
kindred shades trim them tastefully
Other bonnets of old gold color hav
thick loops of satin ribbon of the sam
shade relieved by interinings of pom
ceau or navy blue ribbon.
Many young ladies provide themselve
with variety of round hats for the sum
mer, and do not take bonnets to the coun
try. Large rustic straw garden hats ar
shown in exaggerated toque shapes
trimmed with wreaths of rubber grasse
tied with loops Of ivory-white ribbon
that are edged with silver braids. Other
have punches of field flowers tied il
knots of blue grenadine scarfs. Thos
dressy hats of white chip have the brln
faced with black velvet, and slightly rollet
on one side. A scarf of yellow crinklet
Grape is around the crown, held in plac,
by black and yellow flowers. A brown
rustic has has an armure gauze scarf o
brown caught up with cherries-red
black and white. The novelty for gren
adine wells, especially scarf wells, is but
tercup yellow grenadine, with tap,
border on each edge. These are care
lessly wound around the neck. TIL,
cheap flats that are covered with muslin
or tarlatan ruches are very pretty whel
the white tarlatan is pulled all over tn,
hat and studded with DAISIES, or els,
with bows of black velvet ribbon. Other
have bouquets of scarlet peoples and o
field flowers in the center, with loops anC
ends of black velvet ribbon extending
from thence to the edge of the brim
Very dressy scarf wells are of bacl
thread net, edged with two or thre,
stitchings of floss, or with narrow threaC
lace; others have gilt dots and gilt fringe
White arabesque gauze is also used TO
bonnet-strings and for scarf veils.-Har
