The first importation of spring bonnets.
says Harpers Bazdr, consists of soft Eng
iish stra~s, fine smooth chips, and rough
chips. In ivory white, beige brown, gray
and black. The shapes are quite large,
with ample square crown aud broad brim

were introduced last year for summer
eypsy-iike bonnets. and have been repeat

The small cottage and Alsacian shapes that
are now so universally worn do not appear
In these earliest importations. aud the ru-

they are so neat and becoming, and are so
easily made and trimmed at home. that
ladies will be ioath to give them up. The
new large shapes are TO have bows with
long nspping loops, strings that pass acros,
the top and tie the sides down cios-iy to
