NEW ORLEANS FASHIONS
SUMMER MILLINERY.


Large bonnets and still larger round
hats are seen among the late summer
novelties. The bonnets have large
Haring brims, indented In Vatican
style, and broad fat crowns. mercy
able is the name given to this shape,
and the design is modelled after the
bonnets worn during the French Revo-
luton. The crown Is square, the brim
wide, and the strings cross the crown,
pass over the brim, holding 1t down on
the sides, and tie under the chin. The
trimming is cluster Of flowers on the
top of the crown, or else bunch OF
short feathers that curl toward the
front. The stylish jacqueminot red,
darker than cardinal, is much used for
trimmings Of satin or Of ribbon. The
inside OF the new bonnets Is merely
faced with velvet or satin, and has
classic fillet of velvet or Of gilt banding
the hair close to the forehead.
Another novelty Is that Of having
THE FLARING BRIM OF DOUBLED CHIP,
making the inside precisely like the
outside, and requiring no trimming.
White and cream color rival jacque-
minot red in trimmings for the new
bonnets. All strings pass over the brim,
beginning somewhere on the outside Of
the bonnet instead of inside, as for
merly. A cluster Of from three to six
short, slender ostrich tips, punched to-
gether, is used on bonnets that are 20 be
worn in midsummer. Sometimes these
are allowed to curl over the brim high
on the left side as face trimming, but
they are usually placed further back on
the crown. The Alsacian bow has also
receded from the top Of the bonnet to
the middle of the crown, whore 1t is
posed just above the curtain band.
ANOTHER NEW FANCY
is that of putting gilt ball ornament.
representing the top of comb, just in
side the faring 'front.'. and another at
the end of the crown above the curtain.
An elegant incroyable bonnet Of white
chip, seen at Madame Willis, on Char
tres street, has the brim faced with
Jacqneminot red satin, in which IS
thrust gilt ball comb. In the middle
of the crown is large four-looped bow
Of iacqueminot satin ribbon, from which
come the strings that tie the brim, down
on the sides. Six small black slender
tips of ostrich feathers In bunch pass
upward from the top and curl on the
brim, Another of the same shape has
the brim of doubled chip, and flares so
widely that 1t is exposed back to the
crown. A black velvet fillet Is in front
of this. and there Is no other face trim
ming. Wide white ribbon crosses the
crown and forms strings, while two or
three white ostrich tips curl forward on
the brim,
More youthful bonnets Of the same
shape have pulled satin inside the brim,
and the ostrich tips coming far enough
forward to serve as face trimming.
LEeHoRN BoNNETs OF DEEPEST YELLOW
TINTs
are in regular Vatican shapes, with
the brim fndented on each side as well
as in front and behind. The brim Ii
faced with velvet, such as pale blue, OF
else olive bordered with row OF gilt
beads, and the trimming Is an Alsaciar
bow and strings OF watered ribbon
either pale blue or cream color; bunch
of rosebuds is placed low down on the
crown, and the stylish panache oil
feathers on the top. Colored dress bon.
nets are less used than white ones, anC
are mostly confined to beige and mastiC
shades, A novelty for these is plain
silk gauze, instead OF the figured gauze
once so popular. This Is handsome fol
soft pleated crowns of beige color
while the brim is covered with q ruche
of ostrich feathers, or else wreath Oh
beige colored foliage. Pearl beads FOL
edging such bonnets are also OF beige
color.
THE FINE MAsTIo GRAY CHIP BoNNETs
are also trimmed in self colors, witt
mastic satin ribbon outside, a mastit
gray tulle ruche inside, mastic beads
and mastic ostrich tips, while the only
touch Of bright color is bunch OF pinl
and red strawberries, or else bouque
of iacQueminot rose buds. Bonnets o
black chip have light silk or gauzt
folded earelessly around the crown
and bunch of damask red roses on tn,
top, Some pleated black lace falls Owe
the curtain band, and @ ruche of the
same Is inside the brim. This design Il
easily copied by ladies who do their OWL
millinery.
For young ladies, for driving, and TO
