NOVELTIES IN MILLINERY.
The bonnets worn at the Lcngchsmps
races decide the French fashions tor
summer millinery; hence, the last i'm
por,a,ions receiYed since the races, show
novelties that had not appeared when
the Easter bonnets were sent out. One
thing TO be noted is, that these bonnets
are no longer made to match SUITS
throughout. One conspicuous feature is
the revival of velvet, and OF velvet rib
bons for trimming the fine Tuscan
,trsws and chips. The rich velvet rib
bon is satin on the other side, and in.
stead OF being merely the black velvet
SC long used, it is in the new delicate
colors, such az till,ul, bu'tercup, old
gold, olive, maize, HoIbein green, moon
light blue, pink, coral, mandarin and
Vesuvlus. The width known IS No. l6
is used for trimming the Tuscan straWs
in winch Partisan mlliiners delight.
The bonnet is first faced OF lined with
velvet, and the ribbon is put around the
crown IN very plain bands, with loops
below. Short ostrich tips, flower clus-
tiers, and Renaissance polished gilt
brooches, bees, or butterflies are the
trimmings. The plain corn color
(malze), Holbein green, and old
gold are the cOlors most used in the
velvet ribbons, rs indeed, in all trim
mlngs.
For black bonnets, jet is sent out in
more finely cut small heads than were
ever before imported. II Is sewei on
fine black Brussels net to form iringes OF
slender quiyering leaves to be worn
dropping on the brim of the bonnet, in
Insertions dotted with fine small beads,
in soft lace crowns, with loops OF the beads
sewed on at int rivals and in simple
fringes made of straight strands jat.
Another novelty is black lace bonnets
with long wide lace strings that form
mantilla or fchu. wnich crosses on the
bosom, and is fastened on one side with
rosette. This is very handsome in
thread net dotted with large spots, and
scoloped on the edges. For trimming,
mandarin yellow sa,in is made in large
rosettes to complete this Spanish bonnet.
Colored straw bCnnets IN p'stache,
tilIeul, bronze. and ever mandarin IN
yellow, are shown tor young ladies'. n
cottage shape OF pistache straw is beantl-
| fully trimmed with satin ribbon that 10
olive on one side and pistache on the
other; Two pis,scho plumes curl back on
the crown. Young ladies also like the
pure white chip bonnets trimmed with
delete cclors.
Among thin fabrics the novelty is the
revival of ld-fashioned thin Grape,
crinkled ard transparent, like the
Eng ish Grape worn tor mourning, but
used in maze, tileul, and all the new
,ints.
