asa Ptony and . single one in crep'
foliage Is sufficient to decorate bonnet
The newest cottage bonnets clasT
the head closely and have marrow
rolling brim, which Il covered with
gathered satin.
Very large bonnets with coal -scuttls
brims hive made their appearance
There Is an interior lining but no trim
ming on the inside.
-Colored silk underwear IL cut quite
close TO the figure and beautifully trim.
med with Iorchon or Valenciennes lace.
The chemises are somewhat high,
square, coming well over the shoulder
the night dresses are embroidered in
feather stitch on the bands in white silk
and trimmed profusely with lace.
-Dressy little kerchefs Of pink or Of
white crepe lisse are trimmed with
Breton insertion and edging, and are
used for caps, for cravat bows, or as q
pocket-handkerchief. Others, Of mus
lin, embroidered in colors, have the
center caught up in puff, and held by
cluster Of flowers. This may be used
either on the head or at the throat.
New silk bows for the throat are
without lace, but are made up Of the ma
terial of the dress and its trimmings.
Thus cream colored satin bow has its
jabot shape made partly Of this satin
and partly Of olive green, both Of which
are held by straps and loops Of brocade
in which these colors combine. The
ends Of the satin are cut in sharp trident
points.
Louis XIII. styles have made their
appearance, and it is thought will take
the lead next fall. They are quite So
we're, the trained skirt showing no
dounces or drapery, but having many
rows Of narrow gold braid, which Is
carried round the bottom and continued
up the front. Loops of ribbon trim
ming, deep basqucs and jackets, large
pockets, rich buttons and large collars
belong TO this era.
Trained underskirts are not now
worn either morning or evening. Even
with trained dresses the balayeuse rem
ders the trained skirt unnecessary, and
for dancing the short skirt, with the in
terror plaitings, are infinitely more con-
venient. The newest "dress-im prov
ers" are depressed at the top and pro-
vided with hounces at the bottom, w ich
button on, and can be taken of at pleas
ure.
The new parasol, writes Jennie
June, is piece of expensive absurdity,
as ugly as it is possible for q parasol to
be. Its size is awkward-too large for
q sunshade, not large enough for pro-
lection from showers. The shape Is
Japanese, low, squat, and divided BY l6
ribs. which destroy all elegance OF e.
rect, no MATER how costly the material
may be. To complete the list of its
enormities, it is made in zebra stripes
and dreadful figures, which are only
permissible when the latter are lost in
the richness Of the fabric, or what is
called " invisible" or match the cos.
tune. Now, no one wants one Of these
monstrosities to match every costume,
especially at 80 each, 50 that harmony
Is out Of the question, and all that is
necessary TO complete the harlequinade
is the cap and bells. There is consola-
ton in the fact that the plain, regular
sun umbrellas are simple, handsome
and ladylike. The most desirable are
of black twilled silk, soft and durable.
The handles are ebonized and the
frames are never divided by more than
the number ribs used in the construc-
ton Of the paragon frames, which Is II,
and they usually contain only eight
An elegant parasol, just imported, is a
very rich figured black silk, considera-
bly, larger than the japanese styles,
and surrounded by border Of hand
some Spanish lace, in which the prin-
cipal part Of the design is a sold leaf
The figure in the silk Is large, but only
partly in relief. The handle Is OF ebony,
with little inlaying Of pearl in the form
Of an insect.
Very small cottage-shaped bonnets
and the picturesque large shapes hsve
both been adopted, as milliners predict
ed they would be. Some Of the dressi-
est bonnets to be worn with various cos
tunes are small close shapes Of Tuscan
straw, or else ecru chip, trimmed with
loops Of cream-colored satin ribbon and
! wide Breton lace barbe that forms q
bow on the crown and also strings; in
side the brim is shirred satin, and the
lowers on top are either chrysanthe-
NUNS or roses. This is charming
bonnet to wear with elaborate costumes
black grenadinc, silk, and satin. The
beaded lace bonnets to wear with va
-ious dresses are either close shapes, or
Use they have Marie Antoinette faring
fonts; these are also most often trim
ned with white chrysanthemums, lily
buds, roses, and barbe Of Breton lace.
Simpler bonnets Of black chip are edg-
ID with beaded lace, or else they are
iaintily trimmed with . jabot Of India
muslin and lace on the right side, some
'aucy perked-up loops Of black satin
'ibbon on the left, bunch of white Ii
acs or Of chrysanthemums on top, and
our narrow strings, two of which are
