The newest bonnet is the Gainsborough
or the Vigee, SO called because it is the
copy of the bonnet-or rather hat-of the
well-known fan GUS portrait of the Ouch
ess Of Devonshire by Gainsborough, and
also the half of the portrait of Madame
Vigee lie Brun, painted by herself. It is a
large, broad Italian straw, placed sideways
and rather turned up on one side, with long,
white feathers, and is very original looking,
elegant and becoming. Bonnets are made
very much of rice straw, of Indian and Ja-
panese stuffs and gauzes assorted to the
color of the dress, and the last fashionable
ornament is the Indian bird of Paradise
fol these kinds Of bonnets. The gauzes
are striped with divers, gold and transpar-
ent bands. The parasols are either quite
small, with sticks OF cherrywood, made SO
as to put the sunshade sideways, or very
tall, like umbrellas, quite plain, without
lace, ruches or fringes, and match the skirt
of the dress. Foulard drssses are much
seen; they are cool, and, If they get creas-

skirts are made plain, and the polonaise of
the same colored ground, with with
design such as flowers or the old bird 's-eye
pattern, which is much seen. Then all
kinds of gauzes, such as Algierenne, with
with satin and chenille stripes; Georgienne
glacee or camelleon in all shades; Indian
and Armenienne, damasked, figured and
striped: organdy mousseline- and
and bareges are quite the fashion; these
last over transparencies of silk.
The leading colors are white, black, pink
and bln', in every shade that tt g chemist
can produce; the three puances Of ivory,
creme aid blanc mat are great favorites
and becoming to all compilations. | went
