Birds are popular for trimming
both hats and bonnets, and they are
now, by way Of change, placed in front
as formerly they were fastened at the
side. The yellow and the orange birds
are the fa7orites.
1T is the correct thing to have ones
table linen ornamented with border
designed to match the china. Table

rage, especially at lunch time or tea.
Likewise it is proper to blend styles on
the dinner table.
There is no doubt whatever that
bonnets with brim are among the writ
ten facts of the near future, but it is al
so certain that we shall still retain the
square crowned half-bonnet, half-hat of
the past season, the picturesque hat
with the up-turned brim, and the En-
7 glish walking hat, with its brim which is
never exaggerated, and obtain several
novelties from the Soft-crowned caps
and turbans which young ladies affect
so much, and which have been among
the most striking of the winter novel
ties.
The best qualities of ginghams are
as ever in delicate combinations of blue
and white, or blue, pink and white, with,
perhaps, lines of gold or black which in
tensify or develop the latent color. The
trimming used for these consist of bands
of embroidery wrought in the colors of
the gingham, and so finely blended,
matched and adapted that they seem to
be part of the fabric. Suits of this
description for summer wear are quite
as pretty as checked silk, and more in
harmony with cultivated taste because
they are so much finer of their kind and
have not the gloss and display of COM
h mon silk

+ ruffles of lace and ribbon bows, and
loops in two or three colors, and tints
