MIXGs-THE NEW RIBBONS.

Bonnets run to extremes. For instance,
q tiny capote, more like head dress than a
bonnet, covered with plush leaves, shading
through green and garnet, with humming-
birds and brilliant beetles, and strings OF
double-faced ribbon, Oriental on one side,
plain garnet on the other, and wide Gains
borough hat OF sea-brown and wood-col-
cred plush, almost covered by mass OF
brown and old gold pluDes dropping low
on the left side over the hair, where the
brim is turned up. Midway between these
are oke-bonnets OF moderate size, and the
same turban shapes which were worn all
summer rtappear. Plush is TO be the lead
ing material for millinery, and besides the
plain qualities, many novelties are shown.
Tiger plush has golden-brown and black
streaks similar TO those OF the animal; an.
other variety Is interviewer with golden
hairs; third style has stripes OF plush on
matted surface, indistinetly visible be-
tween; fourth Is creased or marked at
regular intervals OF about half inch, and
vet another has strips OF gold glistening
through the web.
MANY bonnets will be OF velvet, but the
bandsomest are OF these fancy pushes
Shaded browns, dark rife green, old gold,
prune color, pheasant brown, and great
deal OF dark and of viyidly-bright reds are
the favorlte colors.
All black bonnets continue fashionable
and the lady who can afford but one hal
wisely chooses black velvet, trimmed with
let aud oslrich-plumes, a touch OF colOi
being sometimes added, sometimes not.
Fur beaver hats will be worn later in the
season, the nap being very long and re-
sembling plush.
Gold beads, mixed with chenille, are useC
for embroidery on the crown OF bOnnets II
the style introduced last winter. Lea
trimmings, also OF chenille and gold beads
which have the effect Of fringe, droop OF
some French bonnets. An odd'lookint
ornament on a small bonnet Of tiger plusl
Is A bunch OF fur, with gold-tipped bird
claws projecting from it.
Small capotes of yellow Tuscan straw
lined and trimmed with cardinal or Ole
oold. will be worn far into the autumn
Other demisaison bonnets are OF biaci
straw or chip, trimmed with much blacl
| lace and Jet.
Tiger claws are something brand-new 10
bonnet OrUdlUthts, duu eiO "'Pi"I'
used on tiger plush. The fancy for feather
shows no abatement. Whole turbans o
Impeyan, pheasant, or peacock feathers ar
seen, with the head Of the bird on the sid
and the wings meeting at the back, Mercur
fashion, for trimming. Velvet strawbei
ries, chenille flowers, tinted autumn leave
of plush, and small sun1owers, or larg
daisies, with silken pOmpons for hearts, ar
among the new flowers, but birds and lei
theirs will be the ruling idea. Feather floN
ers OF great beauty are included in recer
limportations, and there are also diadems
fancy feathers that will trim bat-iove'
feather pompons, buckles, acorns, cone
and leaves, with breasts or wings, an
sometimes the entire bird is worn. SON
golden plumes OF the Bird OF Paradise al
also shown.
The new ribbons merit chapter to then
selves. They come in designs to match IL
new dress gOods--satin grounds with raise
velvet figures. Oriental effects, Gobelln ril
bons, rich plushes, and, newest OF all, u
doubed.faced ribbons, which are PLAIN Q
one side and figured on the other. Thel
are also bands OF gilt ribbon, to be wor
below the crown OF the bonnet, and formt
into clasps to hold soft strings OF Sura
satin in place. Large beetles and bugs
gilt or green and gilt are stylish ornament
and many gold-headed pins are seen Q
French bonnets.
