The crown looks like a cloth thrown over a
tentpcle Many of the new bonnats are in
this shape, and they eally do not look SO
ou,andish as they ~ hit be expected TO-
The Patti is trimmed rs shown, with gold
lace, ribbon bow, and spray of roses high in
front and dropping back over the crown.
The bonnet is made upon foundation which
may be covered with silk, embroidery, lace
Or anything to suit the taste. The above are
among the most popular of the shapes shown
by Worthmgton & Smith, the great New
York wholesale millinery house.
Lord Il Taylor, New York, also kindly
permit newspaper people peep in advance
at their choice Easter bonnets. The public
in general must wait until opening day,
March IS, with this firm. Opening day in
the spring is great occasion among the New
York milliners
Hats will be worn square upon the head,
and not back off the forehead.
We have headed this "Easter Bonnets" be-
cause the new spring and summer shapes
make their appearance at Easter, and just
before. The shapes here given and the hats
described, however, will be those worn all
summer.

Scarlet is still used in trimming, but not to
the extent that it has been for the past year.
Lord & Taylor exhibit some jaunty hats
and exquisite bonnets in their Easter display.
The hats are largely of fine English straw,
and the English walking hat, with one varia-
ton of shape or another, is the favorite.
The straw is of various colors, black, brown,
yellowish, and tea-colored. Gold braid is
woven in with the straw with fine effect.
One of the hats shown was brown straw,
faced with brown velvet and edged with gilt
braid. 1t was trimmed with one Of the can
vas-meshed or etamine scarfs already men
toned. The handkerchief draping, as well
as these scarfs, will be popular This pretty
hat had looping of brown velvet high in
front, with cluster of humming birds.
No. was an English turban of the high
crowned new shape round in front, and turned
up slightly behind. 1t was made of black
satin covered with jet, and faced with gold
tinsel and black velvet. A broad band Of
dropping jets passed around the crown. Front
trimming, an exquisite looped gauzy scarf of
the new dark salmon shade, ends Of scarf
embroidered with gilt thread and silk floss
A little to one side were stuck two or three
black and gold hand-painted quilts. Very
stylish. Painted and gilded feathers are some
thing quite new. They are frequently seen
in the imported hats. The style of adorn-
ment for hats is band or scarf around the
crown, with high, full trimming in front.
Another shown was handsome calling
hat. 1t was baize-colored straw, with roll
ing brim, plain around in front, slightly
peaked up behind. 1t was faced with the
new shade Of emerald green velvet, hand
some tint. Lace enters largely into the dec
Grafton Of head-coverings This hat was
trimmed with baize-colored Canton and gold
lace. The Canton lace is quite new Chinese
lace and trimmings are the rage for this sum-
mer. Baize color is a kind of gray. The lace
was fastened upon the hat with gold pins.
The hat was a striking-looking one The
front was trimmed with wide loopings Of
