There u something Of . revolt against
eccenticties, a. shown in the remarkable
shapes in which bonnets and hats anne out
at the peginning of the season and the adop-
ton Of the simple and more generally b.
coming ones brought out. Large bonnetA,
save for shading the face. and worn instead
of the shade hat are rarely seen. Small
bonnets prevail, and some are 30 diminutive
as scarcely to be seen more than the trim
ming with which they are decorated. The
little English capote is still worn, but it has
been supplanted to q great extent BY modi'
fcations of the little French cottage bonnets,
and these notifications bring on al sorts
Of cspices in both the brim and the crown.
Hats with higt, slanting crowas and mar
row brims sligtely turned up on each side, or
on one side only, are seen in the models i'm,
ported from Paris. Anew, with crowns not
exceeding fourinches in height, have appear
ed as . novelty. The country and garden
hats are Of the poke or granny shapes, aud
o~vershadow the face more or less, Some.
tunes they are semitransparent; but even
then the brim only is lined, except when the
straw brim is made double, in which case the
lining is not required. Swiss straws made
in this form have very much the appearance
ofinverted baskets. City hats are generally
lined with smoothly stretched velvet, Of the
same color as the straw. White straw, how.
ever, is almost invariably lined with black
velvet. In most cases the lining does not
reach to the edge Of the turned.up brim, but,
rows of straw are left uncovered.
Gathered Innings are mostly reserved for
the coronet hat, and they, likewise, do not
necessarily cover the brim, but have an edg
ing Of straw above. A scarf wrapped around
and Tied in two long bows, which are secur-
ed with the ends against the crown, either
by lacking or with gilt pins, is one Of the
~favorite ways Of trimming such hats, with or
without the addition Of tinselstrewn goose
feathers and ribbon bows. II q 6chu is
used instead Of q scarf, bows are almost q
necessity, as the fchu is not sufficient, form.
ing merely q pouf in front, with two Of its
en6s drawn up in a point.
The norm quantity of lace used this
season has introduced q great and exquisite
variety OF small lace pins as light in weight
as the beautiful flowers they represent
One Of the most delicately beautiful Of these
elaborate specimens Of handiwork is double
Parma violet in shaded purple enamel, the
stem ard leaves wrought in yellow gold; Q
dew.drcp diamond is on the stamens Of
gold. OF the same description are apple
blossoms, pansies, lilies, white alder, q wild
single leaved wood ~violets, a spotted orchis
with foliage Of dense shaded green. There
are bpsides sprays Of tiny f~0rget-me.nots aud
daisi,s 5, white ~violets, gold and purple tinted
pansies, q branch Of exqulsitely shaded lilac
blossoms, each mounted on o longer aud
he yier pin. Radiant butterti e. o Q like
carcopets Of glirtering gems and emamels
set in s-st esques Of gold. These are sui.
fcien ly long to be thrust through the hair
as well as the lace at the throat.
Among quantities Of other charming
devices are the short gold watch chains
The little watch is thrust in the cordage and
the three or tourinch chain hangs out with
pendant ball attached Of gold, with flowers
applied in exquisite colors Of enamel, or
they are wrought in three or four tints Of
color and glitter with rubies, sspphires,
emeralds and diamonds. The late caprice
OF the mllliners demanding innumerable lit
tie pins 10 decorate the bonnets, has penetra.
ted the jewelers. %atellers, whence come for
the exclusive ones all manner Of devices and
horalieweled pins, insects OF elaborate
enamel, diamond crescents. rosebuds, small
daisies, starry jasmine, yellow buttercups,
each with a diamond sparkling like dew in
the heart, she little pistils and stamens fine
as gold wire covered with dead gold. Some
of the tiny insects are sown with jewels.
