panied BY wool lace to be put on plainly or
IN ~fouDces, or to represent 8 full skirt by be-
ing q single deep f1ounce. The mohairs and
allapacas that English tailors and fsshiona-

gray, and ecru shades have appeared in the
large dry-goods stores. where they are also
shown in white grounds with black. red,
brown. or bin cia mond-shaped figures, or
with stripes. The Colo-ed mohairs are meant
for travelling and walking dresses to take the
place OF cloth tailor suits, but last spring.

NOVELTIES IL JERSEYS
present some patterns that sre noteworthy.
These are the ~fantail, the Fedora front. the
evening dress coat, which is very similar In
cut TO a gentleman's full dress coat. the COM
bination coat and vest. the latter either to
match or of q d fierent color. and a few 9th
eTs. The trimming used for these useful ar
ticles is broad and narrow braid or gold and
silver cord, put on In military style and Civ
q dashing appearance TO the garment. Jer-
seys are made not alone OF wool, but also OF
anew material known as "lisle thread jersey
cloth" which is OF wonderful strength and
has a finish and fneness approaching silken
fabrics. This new material is likely to be
very populsr.
THE COMING SNE
The coming bonnet is the small cspote;
the coming hat is high OF crown aud narrow
of brim- Infinite variety is, however, built
up on these general lines, ard the shapes
are more numerous than ever. Some of the
c are peaked. some pointed, Others
fat, oval, or rounded. There are rolled
bTims, straight brims, hattered brims, fat
brims, and brims tip-tilted back against the
crown. There are nuns bonnets and tur-
bans, peaked pokes, close caps and the wo.
man who, amid al this abundance OF de.
design, can not ind something TO suit her
style must be hopelessly ignorant as to her
own requirements.
The bonnets, for once, show more divers
ity than the hats, and it appears as though
the French manufacturers had turned their
designers loose, with the general order to pro-
duce ell the novel shapes possible in straw
or net and crinoline. The new shape is a
veritable hemlet with spherical crown and
visor brim; another has an oval crown, like
q melon rind cut l~engthwise; and yet anoth-
er has the same effect, with the ends of the
melon sliced oil. Another vagaIy in crowns
has evidently had for its inspiration the ga
bic end OF q Pennsylvania barn, and the
Breton camp. With short wings standing out
at the back on either side, is the motif Of an.
other. Several OF last years shapes reap
pear. the high square crown being especially
noticeable.
The close cspote, with either square Ut
round crown, is the usual choice for cloth
honnets TO match suits, the brims being COW
cred with plain or shirred velvet. a c0cssde
cow of velvet ribbon forming the trimming.
Many Of the new shapes have the wn at
the back slit up or notched out TO show the
hair. The general drift is for the accommo-
dation of hair piled on the very top of the
head, although fashion, in a less exacsiDg
humUr than usual, allows a few models with
which the HAIR may be worn low.
Some charming bonnets for the demi
taison are shown of black lace, embroidered
III either gold or silver. Piece lace forms
the crown, and q double row OF luted lace
e6ging the brim. A row Of gilt braid di-
vices the two and no trimming Is needed
beyor d a cluster of flowers or leaves on top
J in jront OF the crown.
Among the late winter millinery are
shown some pretty DO NETS sui able to We II
until warm weather, which are made of
many shades of brown cloth, the coIors rang
ing from palest doe TO dark wood bro wn. The
cloth is cut in small. pointed leaves pinked
at the edge, each leaf being laid over its
predecessor without any special or set ar.
rapgement of color. The strings are of DARK
brown velvet, with narrow satin ones above
Of q pale shade of cream. Black velvel
bonnets are shown with the crowns covered
with a network of fiue amber beads. aud al
tie side are immense punches of shaded vel.
