PARIS BONNETs.
Among the many styles Of bonnets now
in vogue in Paris very few are without
strings. Linen ribbons are In great de-
msnd, particularly for young ladies' hats.
The s.PifferarO hat has small fiat brim,
slightly raised on one side, with high
crown shaped like q cone. This bat Is
trimmed with large cOckade OF linen
ribbon, shot with gold or with a cockade
OF colored silk. All bonnets are very high.
II the shape is not high, as, for example, in
the case OF capotes, flowers or aigrettes are
raised in the centre OF the bonnet. and all
kinds OF birds and insects fastened to fine
wires and intertwined with them to produce
an effect as IL they were flying among the
flowers. A new French round hat is called
- pave" shape. II has q square crown,
and straight, narrow brim. One OF these
Is of English straw. A deep galloon is a
large bunch OF field flowers and wheat. A
charming capote Is OF pink horse hair. Its
only trimming is bunch OF forget-me-
nots intermixed with grass. The ''Gil-
letten capote Il composed OF small herbs
and grasses, arranged i'm tiny punches and
placed like n wreath around the hat. The
crown consists OF rushes or cherry branches
cut in sticks and joined by herbs and
grasses. These bonnets are trimmed with
red velvet strings and punches OF field
flowers or cherries.
PICHUs HOLD THEIR OWN.
Fichus are rs much worn as ever. The
large Marie Antoinette fichu is reserved
for indoor wear. 1t is covered with lace
rllffles made over a double piece OF tulle or
gauze, and cut bias and rounded. 1t be-
comes narrow on the ends. Around the
border is also a lace rufile. These fichus
are white or black. Black tulle lace has
completely replaced Spanish lace. 1t Is
much lighter and more easily draped.
Fancy and elegant fichus for dinner and
theatre wear are flat, forming kind OF
pointed collar of old guipure or other
lace. The back is pointed and the front
terminates on the waist or over the
breast. There are alsO many pulled
plastrons made with lace collarette or
velvet officers collars. These plastrons
consist of an end Of tule lace or
of let tulle gathered on the neck and waist.
Officers parures are also OF lace and fine
embroidery, but these are not as much
worn as they were some time since. Neck
ties are no longer the style, with the ex-
ception OF flat mems scarfs. which are used
- cI.a Oh sx1n.
collars are still high and tight around tie
neck. The cuffs correspond. Many OF
these are OF colored linen. Young girls
incline much to dog-collars Of ribbon.
tied i'm FROM and fastened by two or four
gold pins with heads OF tiny flowers or
insects.
CAPS for indoor wear are very small. Ii
is necessary they should be with the pres
ent way of dressing the hair. They have
crowns of silk gauZe or even OF velvet and
plush. Lingeres have many methods o:
arranging these fabrics. Round "pay-
sanneo caps are trimmed with lace ruffies,
cockades, and ri. bon bows. Other caps
consist of "mauresque" fschus worn flat
against the head and plated to form a
small cape in the back. English Grape Of
every color is also very suitable for these
caps with the addition of punches Of small
flowers. AS 1t requires very small pieces
Of goods to make these coitl'ures, fashiona-
BILE women have them by the dozen, each
TO match particular deshabille.
A favoritc trimming for parasols is che
nile. Black satin parasols have deep lace
rufiies around the borders. Sometimes a
second piece Of lace is taken up over the
outside. and sometimes the lace is arranged
in scallops around the border. There may
be trimmings OF plated lace on each satin
panel. or the whole outside may be COW
cred at regular intervals with small, round
pieces of lace with chenille ornaments in
the centre. The tops Of the parasols also
have chenille tassels and ornaments or satin
ribbon bows. They have handles Of carved
wood. ivory, and light wood carved in
japanese designs.
