display of individual taste in the selection of
a spring end summer outfit
The tints and colorings that have been de-
ciied on are. first of all, steel color, which
will be the color par excellence when mixed
with scarlet. The coaching drabs will also
retain favor in the thrse principal tints, the
highest being almost cream, and the darkest
nearly slate color.
Gaze au lat and ecru bronze, sage and
bottle green, sulphur and lemon, yellow,
amber, Vandyke red, reseda (nignonette red),
navy blue shading, more toward indigo than
purple; lilac, condor and the olive tints.
These are seen in all the new millinery and
dress goods.
The patterns of dress fabrics are principally
plaids. Stripes will also be much worn,
especially the bayadere or horizontal stripe.
These and the vertical striped fabrics are to
be used for trimmings, as sashes, waist trim
mings, h0unces, etc, in combination with
plain materials OF the prevailing color.
The plaids will be made up either without
ether material, or with the same combination
as is used with the stripes. The groupings of
colors in these plaids and stripes are Roman
colors and combinations of the new shades

a sash, in fancy stripes, for skirt trimming.

SPRING BoNNETs AND MILLINERY.
The size of bonnets for the coming season
will be both very large and very small. The
" Capote" of last season, which now comes in
Tuscan braid, or open patterned straw lace,
will have a short reign during the spring
but all indie .tions point to the large . Poke
bonnets, and picturesque large, round hats in
porcupine braid, as most likely to be the
greatest favoIites.
The introduction of handsome face trim
mings make these very becoming styles,
especially for young ladies.
Large Leghorn and Tuscan straw hats are
bent in all shapes, and mixed with various
laces, straws and braids, for crowns, edgings
or other trimmings.
A aPrincess" poke bonnet, in Milan straw
and chip, is meeting with decided favor. A
bunch of large, crushed roses is placed on the
left side; the crown is trimmed with wide
fancy ribbon, which is continued under TIE
chin, and tied in large, donble bow, with
ends.
For picnic and shade hats, the "Tahoe,
in black brown or mixed straw, o modified
gypsy shape, will be greatly worn; it is
trimmed with ribbon bows, and has bunch
of flowers, in shaded tints on the left side.
1t is to be worn without strings.
The latest Partisan novelty is bonnet,
with fan to correspond; and other bonnets,
with fancy pockets for holding pocket book
or handkerchief to be carried IL the hand or
attached to the belt. These pockets and fans
are made of the silk or other material COM
posing the bonnet, and trimmed to correspond
with flowers, silk embroidery or ribbons.
BONNET TRIMMING, ETC.
The principal trimmings for sll spring and
summer bonnets and hats viii be flowers,
especia lily roses. They are in wreaths and
punches of three or four distinct tiats or
colors-for example, a deep claret, Cardinal
and pale scarlet; red, orange, lemon, etc.
The leading colors will be steel and scarlet,
with pink and olive or sage for evening.
Some bonnels are composed entirely of
flowers they are of lilies, apple blossoms,
etc. For the small bonnet of Capote, Fan
chon or Aplatir shape, the crown IS composed
of flowers and leaves, and the same or smaller
flowers are brought down in long strings on
either side and fastened under the chin. They
are for street or evening wear. Steel balls,
Marabou5 feathers, small pearl Plus, combs,
turtles crescents and owls are the newest
ornaments, with the Spanish bull in place of
the dethroned pig and elephant Also, vari-
Gus designs Of antique and Spanish origin
will be used.
Plaids, in the soft silks, will be extensively
used for trimming. The material. however,
for which the greatest popularity is pre-
dicted, is the satin Marveilleux and Ombre
patterns. These come in very dark, rich
colors, OF strange combinations, that are
very handsome for trimming creamy yellow
braids.
A very pretty shaded effect is given by
having the shades extend entirely across the
fabric, thus fir IN selvedge to selyedge many
shades are used by the manufacturers.
There will also be used wide, plain and
fancy colored ribbons, straw laces, steel
dotted and threaded, fancy straws Of all kinds,
plated laces, and the favorite Spanish lace.
