BOnnets and Trimmings.

Milliners have for the first time in
many years imported bonnets especially
designed for the intermediate season OF
autumn. which in this country is so
beautiful and lasts so long that summer
bonnets lose their freshness when the
weather is still too warm for heavy win
ter bonnets to be comfortable. To
meet the wants of this half season there
are new bonnets and round hats with
the brim of dark straw, and the crown
entirely of velvet OF the same shade as
the straw. and put on almost rs smooth

come in the fashionable Partisan shade
Of dark green called both hussar and
rifle green, also in olive. bronze, NOR
dore, sapphire, wine color, and pea
cock blue. The bOnnets are small CT
potes, but have larger brims than the
Alsacian bounets of the summer, and
these brims have a rollel edge that
forms q slight oronet. The curtain
band below the velvet crown is of straw
about an inch wide. These are to be
trimmed with fancy feathers, birds and
velvet ribbon that is satin OH the wrong
side.
Round hats that have a velvet crown
and straw brim are very large. but are
not particularly new in shapes. The
walking hat, rs il is called. has a near
ly straight brim about four inches wide.

and q high square crown of velvet.
Other hats have only one side rolled up

The fancy feathers that have q real
birds head with some of the breast
feathers. and are fancifully finished off
with long cog plumes, are also stylish
trimmings.
Small birds are imported in great
quantities for trimming bonnets and
round hats and it is q sad sight to see
the meek ring-doves. with their sober
plumage, the sea-swaliows, merles,
pheasants, lophophores penguins, and
even the pigeons. quails and partridges,
that have been sacrificed for this pur-
pose.
