A rough-and-ready black hat, having the
brim faced with yellow Tuscan braid, is oIna-
mented in front with long, vertically placed
bows of black ribbon with Leghorn colcred
edges, and of Leghorn colored satin striped
gauze ribbon, the different ribbons forming
two distinct series OF bows.
Another type is a fancy straw bonnet of
fawD or ecru tint trimmed with embroidered
dull rose hued ribbon in bows starting from
the crown and covering the top. Tied among
the ribbons of the left side land being erectly
upheld as If carried in the HANDY is bouquet
of violets lilies of the valley and moss-rose-

is laid a cluster of pale pink roses, over
which is an umbrella formed point d'esprit
lace.

Hsse showing beneath it a triple row of pearls
surrounding the edge. Three yellow roses

Old-fasbiOned ribbons are revived to hold
rivalry with new fabricatiOns of the class in
many varieties. Those with pompon and
fancy edges are most favored. Yellow and
green are not supreme colors, but hold a fair
and desirable place. The latter is seen in
innUmerable shades of moses and bulrushes,
and the eucalyptus is another fancy of the
season. The effect of whatever may be
chosen is chiefly due to arrangement. All
the difference between art and ignorance is
illustrated in the manner of tying a boy,
and even more certainly than the fact of a
man at q dinner party being proved a bar
barian or a person of refinement by placing
his fork on the plate with the prongs point
ing upward or downward The latter Cir
cumstance might be traced to introspection,
which is inc6nceivable as connected with
ribbons.
