are the snug princess shapes, trimmed
with velvet brim and loops Of velvet
ribbon. These are always appropriate
and servfceable, and look consistent
with any style of dress adopted. Most
of these bonnets have narrow strings,
and are usually accompanied with
short wells, generally white or cream,
either dotted or beaded. As many
women wear their hair dressed very
high, pins to keep the bonnet In place
are required besides the stridge, and
many fancy devices are designed for
this purpose.
Coarse straws In mixed colors or In
monochrome are just now more fash.

blue and deep red, gold and blue, and
