brandt-green and old-gold, claret and
ecru, and black and garnet. Three
inches is the usual width for these hand
some ribbons, one side of which is satin
and the other gros-grain. In pale shades,
which combine pink Of delicate tint
and seafoam-green, an opaiescentis seffact
secured. Soft twilled ribbons with a satin
face are worn, and by many are preferred
to gros-grain and satin combinations.
Trimming silks, bias, will be largely used,
and are very similar to some of the dress
materials ofthe season. Changeable silks,
of a heavy quality, are used, and for
dress hats are in pale colors shot with
white, which imparts particularly sill
very sheen, and is exquisite as it catches
the light. The large polka dots seen in
the summer will not be as popular as a
smaller variety just introduced, which
are not much larger than pin head.
White or light-coored dots on dark
ground of blue, brown of green satin are
worn. Satin antique is new material
which is sort of fine soft plush, but
more nearly resembles the silk beaver
used for the covering of gentlemen high
hats. Plain satin in all the fashionable
shades will enter largely into the compo-
sition of bonnet trimmings. Plain velvet
will also be used, but a newer material
will be preferred, which has palm-leaf
figures in cashmere colors, brocaded on a
black or dark velvet ground. Everything

considered the most stylish in ribbons,
silks and feathers. Satin de Lyons or
satin-faced silk and plain twilled silk are
are used as trimming and strings. All
bonnets have strings which are wider
than formerly. When they are of ribbon
they are from three to five inches broad.
A novelty is strings of doubled silk with
cashmere ribbon sewn through \ the
center and plating of point
d'esprit lace across the ends The lace is
similar to Breton, but is covered with
small round dots. Other strings are of
twilled silk, six inches wide, finished at
the side and across the ends with a
French hem. When of wide ribbon Or
silk the strings are not secured abruptly
to the sides of the bonnet, but mingle
with other trimmings Oh the top of the
crown and gracefully pass down the side
They usually are of the same material as
the loops and twist which encircle the
crown, unless these are of too heavy a
material, such as velvet or satin antique
Shapes are as picturesque as hereto
fore, and poke bonnets will be one of the
most popular styles. 1t was predicted
in the early fall that the large shapes
: would give place to smaller ones fol
winter wear but the change is not YET
: effected, nor does it soon promise to be
Projecting brims with wide sides seen
to be feature of all shapes. Sometimes
. the front of the brim is intended il
Marie Stuart style, but always is raisec
, from the hair, and the arch is left with
out other face trimming than facing o1
velvet or other bias material. Smaller
bonnets are furnished for those to whom
: very large shapes are not becoming, bu
g are likewise arched at the top and very
e close fitting at the sides. Among more
r Youthful shapes is one with slightly
$ tapering crown and wide rolling brim
: This may be worn with equal prophet,
by either children or young ladies
Another shape has very similar crown
and brim which rolls up very abrupt,
all around. Both of these are to be worl
!; little off the face, just at tn
edge of the hair. Nearly all bonnets ar
e worn further forward on the head. A.
entirely new shape is called the Seventy

y nets have crowns of different materi

re sign. These crown-pieces are very el
OF CANT, and sometimes are accompanied
ne a bead galloon for binding the brim. Th
IN is often made with fringe of beao
er which fall over the hair. A very pret
