Spring Bonnets.

OPEAuE D0uueGSe
Further importations of millinery
show pokes of medium size for carriage
and country use, with rather small bon
nets for full dress and for general wear
In city streets. The fsh-wife poke
pinched into point above the forehead
is very largely imported for ladies'; this
shape is said to be the popular one with
Parlslennes at present, but it failed to
ind favor here this winter except for
children, misses, and very young ladies.
1t IS now made more becoming by full
frllls of lace that are on the brim both
inside and outside, and may be better
liked as 3 summer bonnet. Gold lace.
black lace, and the new cashmere laces,
as well as those of leather color, are fully
gathered or pleated around the brims Of
many bOnnets. With the substantial
much used for trimming, and it is the
within of the season to use yellow in
nearly all black bonnets, either in gold
cords, gold lace, tinsel pompons, or an
aigrette, or else in bright yellow flowers
-dandeliOns, marigolds, button daisies,
chrysanthemums, marguerites, golden
rod, and Marshal Neil roses.
Black lace bonnets are of black net
cut from the piece, or of many rows of
black lace made up over yellow silk or
gilt gauze foundation, or else they have
some frills of gold-lace among the black
lace frills. Some large Jet beads and let
buckles are also in these black lace bon
nets, and there are bows of loops of black
velvet ribbon all perked up in a defiant
way, or as if blown apart by the wind,
and to these are added ends of the ribbon
cut in forks or notches. Shirred crowns
of gilt net or gauze Fittings are very
handsome for small bonnets with lace
crowns, and there are tinsel nets wrought
with cashmere colors for making large
pouf crowns. A puff of the silk gauze
and another puff of black velvet edge
these small gilt bOnnets, and iabot of
white lace is on the brim, with gilt wheat
amid the lace, white marabout panache
is on the left side, and the strings are of
narrow black velvet. For other
light dress bonnets there is
covering of pearlbeaded white net
over pale stem green silk on the
crown, with puff of strawberry red vel
vet all around the edge, while the high
cluster of flowers that nearly covers the
brim has many pale green velvet leaves,
with few pink roses among them. There
are also very dressy new flower bonnets

berries and the crown with strawberry
leaves, and the strings of narrow red vel
vet ribbon; or else there are Marshal
Mel roses on the brim, with the green
leaves of these roses covering the crown.
The cOronet wreaths of small flowers
thickly clustered on small white straw
bonnets are especially pretty when made
of lilacs or forget-me-nots. There are
also made up flower crowns of small but
ton daisies in all the new pink and red
shades, with a row of green leaves around
them, to be used with lace brims.
Dark-colored straw bonnets will be
most used for general purposes, and are
easily trimmed by full bow of velvet
ribbon on the top, and bands around the
crown, or else, more dressily, with a high
cluster of flowers on the top or toward
the left side in front of the crown. There
may be one, two, and even three pairs of
narrow velvet or ottoman ribbon strings,
or else a single pair much wider, varying
from an inch and a third to two inches
in width. Very pretty small bonnets of
straw are made to represent striped
grasses, and the basket bOnnets initiating
tWigs, OsieTs, etc, are in several varieties,
some of which are meant for midsummer
use in the country, while others of hol-
low straw cords OF very hne quality are
for city and carriage bonnets. Basket
bonnets are worn without lining, and re-
quire merely large velvet ribbon bow
on top or a bunch of flowers for trim
ming.
Large English styles are seen among
round hats, and there are also small
shapes like combination of the Derby
and English turbans, with a round crown
and very high rolled brims. Feathers
are still used on round hats in great pro-
fusion, and many milliners protest against
using flowers for them; still, many of
the imported hats have both flowers and
feathers. Bands of velvet ribbon high
up around the crown trim these hats
stylishly, with large bow and ends on
one side, and ostrich feathers on the left
and down the back. The brims are lined
with velvet and bound with galloon in
which there is gilt braid, or else there is
a velvet cord on the edge twined with
gold cord.-HGrPer'8 Baz0r.
