Another fancy i the scarf Of India
muslin, 70 be worn in the street a. lace
scarfs formerly were. II Is outside the
wrap, tied closely around the neck, with
. bow 10 front; the ends hang down,
have plated Breton lace across them,
and are tied with narrow ribbon to give
them the appearance Of tassel.
New mask wells are OF Breton lace,
and may be either black or white. The
net covering the face has tiny dots
wrought in It, usually two or three in .
group. and the edge II finished with
Breton lace two inches wide. Longer
wells, TO be crossed behind and tied un-
der the chin, are made Of black net dot
ted with gold thread. The newest gren-
adine scarf wells are Of tan color or light
blue, with . gay Roman striped border
on each selvedge.
New walking boots have pointed
rather than square toes, the tendency in
all footwear being to narrower toes.
Fancy cloth tops have had their day and
on ordinary occasions shoes are always
black, while for full dress 1t Is optional
with the wearer whether or not they
shall match the costume. A black all
wool material called satin FrGncais is
largely employed for the uppers OF the
finest French boots, and French kid is
used for the foxings. Another Atwood
material, not quite so fine, known as
satin laine, and the still coarser English
lasting Of prunella, are also used for the
purpose mentioned.
The modified Djrectoire bonnets,
with broad brim, flaring at the top, and
close on the sides, Is very distinguished
looking, and thus far proves to be the
most popular Of the large shapes. 1t
is shown in chips and in fancy braids,
that trim 90 effectively; also in the jet
embroidered bonnets, some Of which are
done on tulle, while others are wrought
on satin. Sometimes . soft crown is
added to the Directoire brim, but it is
more usually large, smooth and square.
Those OF beaded tulle are smooth on the
frame, and have lace strings, lace quilt
ing, and bouquet of roses or carna-
tons with the long stems showing con-
spicuously, placed low down on the left
side Of the crown. Jet balls like those
Of necklace edge the brim. Still 9TH
er embroidered bonnets have white mar
about planes on top, and elder bios
SONS, with watered ribbon for strings.
In some bcnnets the tulle is laid over
black satin, and the luster enhances the
richness; large thread lace barbe Is
passed below the crown on the small
curtain, is fastened on the sides BY cres-
cents Of Rhine crystals, and falls thence
rs strings. In the faring brim Of the
Directoire shape gold braid is some
times used for . facing, though shirred
sa'in or elk il most often seen. Anoth-
er stylish shape for chips and soft straw
bonnets has broad flaring brim that
Is quite soft, and is drawn back on the
left side BY trimming passing from
the inside. This 10 q graceful and
becoming shape for young ladies who
wear elaborate coiffures. The close cot
tage shapes with plain front or with
rolled brim remain most popular with
ladies OF conservative tastes, and are
commended at the best houses IS being
most suitable for city streets. The
Cabriolet bonnet, so like round hat,
will be worn at the summer resorts. 1t
has great many flowers fancifully dis
posed upon it, both inside and out, and
Is tied byribbon strings that pass across
the crown. The shot or changeable
ribbons, sometimes called glace ribbons,
are the latest novelty in millinery.
They come in blue shot with gold, red
with green, pink with blue, green with
cream color, and are usually sold TO
match the new costumes Of shot silk.
The soft brim chips just mentioned have
q rosette Of changeable blue and gold
ribbon catching back the brim on the
left side. and another drawing up the
chip curtain. The ostrich feathers that
trim the right side are also shaded in
these two colors. Rough straws with
satin luster are used in yellow tints like
the fine Tuscans for bonnets to match
costumes. They are then trimmed with
the brocade or satin used for the Access
series Of the costume, together with a
small cluster Of feathers, or some large
roses, peoples, or field flowers, and a
plating somewhere Of the inevitable
Breton lace. Mixed colors in rough
straws are also liked with costumes, but,
TO be trimmed effectively, ribbon or
satin OF = single color should be
used, and used very simply as
well. Thus the ribbon that
forms strings should make large
irregular bow Of four loops on one side
Of the crown, then pass around it, and
end in strings Rough black straw bon
nets have peony red satin shirred as a
face trimming. while outside two colors
Of satin ribbon are used; one is gem
darme blue, and the other peony red.
White elder blossoms are the flowers.
These brilliant contrasts Of color need
70 be carefully sclcsted, and are often
toned BY white flowers, or else she'll
plating, or regular jabot Of Breton
lace. For dress bonnets the daintiest
