TIE COMING BONNETs.

Notwithstanding the unfavorableness
OF the season for an early opening OF
the fall trade we have some reliable adj
vices in reference TO the millinery Oh
the future. Smooth felt for bonnets
and hats will come in for early autumn
and cut and uncut velvet will again OBJ
tain for both the making AMI the TRIM
minr of bonnets and hats. AS intimat-
ed, we shall have IN hats as leading
shane a modification of Henri ILL.,,
while distinctive idea involving the
wearing of the hat finds expression in
the brim projecting in front. Slightly
different from the Henri Iii. is shape
with the same brim and tall, broad,
square crown; with the same crown
there is a pleasing hat with a project
inc. rolled brim, after that of the Ok
ford hat, but with a greater circumfer-
ence; and with the same crown there IS
Il shape with the rim rolled and pro-
iecting in front and turned up square
at the back. A sort of compromise with
the bonnet is seen in large headdress
which not inaptly reminds the observer
of large truncated funnel, with the
mouth tilted in front and pared off at
the back-or, in other words, we have
modification of the Mother Hub
bard" bonnet which may become hat
at the will Of the modiste.
The new bonnets will be large. OF
medium and of small sizes, and in
many shapes. Some OF the large
shapes have tall, square, broad crowns.
and flaring coal-scuttle brims, and with
similar brims there are shapes with
scmi-conical or funnel-formed crowns;
and we are not without suspicion that
there will be revival OF favor for
large bonnets. However, there is little
doubt that small bonnets will continue
In the more decided favor, and the ca
nOts will take on almost as many ca
prices in shape as there are models.

q bias fold of turkey-red terry velvet
drawn sharply back over the front hair,

From present appearances narrow
ribbons or those of medium width will
have the preference over the wider;
there will be determined run on I'M
cut or terry velvet, in both the piece
goods and in ribbons; and, because of
their superior beauty and quality, all
their artistic intermixtures and ar
rangement, unusual importance will be
accorded to fancy feathers. They are
no longer mpotent rivals of those OF
the ostrich. Brown is mentioned as
