Hats and Easter Bounets.

The claque hat has been accepted by some
noted leaders of fashion in New York; in
consequence its reign is assured.
1t is said that the coming Easter bonnet
will be trimmed with vegetables instead of
flowers. There is an evident tendency to-
ward putting the most of the trimming on
the back and side of the hat, and this
fashion has been quite extensively used on
many of the spring hats.
The new spring bonnet is a many-sided
and, figuratiyely, very elastic production.
Literally, if you have the money to pay.
you can take your choice of what there is
The difficulty seems to be heterogeneous
commingling of qualities.
There is roughneSs without simplicity,
quantity without adequate result. much
high color and savage glitter. when the sea-
son demands low, tender tones and a sense
OF refreshment and awakening life. Dead
birds, impaled insects, beaded butterflies
and metallic frogs are all out of place with
the sweet spring odOrs in the air and the
recurring miracle of grass and flowers
springing up by the wayside.
Among them this season are pretty cot
tage bonnets of matched straw, with up
right, pulled trimming of soft tissues in
tinted silk or crepe, fastened with dainty
little pins, hay forks in miniature, and
a bunch of field daisies or buttercups, and
clover as finish.
One charming bonnet of this shape was
laced with black velvet and trimmed with
upright puffs of soft ivory silk and mixed
bunch of white roses half opened, and lilies
of the valley.
Embroidered crepe is much used in the
making of dressy little bonnets, not as
crowns alone, but for the entire bonnet

Fresh Fashion Nnfes.

Sashes of black and watered silk ribbon are
worn with dark wool. velvet and yelveteen
dresses. They are placed at the left side of
the back, and the ends reach nearly to the
bottom of the dress.
Elegant sunshades are of glace silk, shot
OF two shades of colOr-blue and garnet
red, pale blue and cerise, green and GRIM
son, blue and gold, seal brown and blue,
and so on-with pretty handles of carved
olive or orange wood.
Bonnets are made of light, coarse straw.
loosely plated with fine strips of velvet of
all colors, or else of plated rushes. with
binds OF gold, white or colOred beads.
There are also capotes, with crowns form
ing network of black, garnet or other
beads.
A mourning novelty is a fine English
Grape with applique figures in 6ne bOmba-
zine or drap d'ete with black silk embroid-
cry. 1t is cut out between the figures and
leaves asemi-transparent fabric of great eff
fectlveneSS. 1t comes in full-width goods
for wraps, and in several widths of flOunc-
ing for edgings and trimmings.
Long pins, with heads ornamented with
jewels and pearls, are still some of the prin-
cipal adOrnments of the couture. There are
others of light-colored tortoiSe-shell form
ing dainty Spanish combs, which are ex-
eeedingly pretty, but rather expensive.
They are put on ObliquelY, with perhaps a
bow of velvet at the side, for dinner OF
evening cOiffures.
The long, arm-concealing glove is still as
fashionable as ever, always of unglazed
kid-light for the evening, dark for the
morning. The glazed kid glove, however,
may De worn in the daytime for walking oil
visiting. The silk glove. or, better still,
the unglazed kid glove, with an embroid-
cred openwork cuff, will be adopted with
light summer toilets.
The newest models of summer mantels
ar the casaque and the very short mantelet-
visite, tight-ftting in the back, with the
sleeves taken from the back and losing
themselves in the puff; very often there is
a tight sleeve coming out from under the
wide open one; long lapels in front, the
whole more than ever loaded with en-
broidery, beads and paSsementerie.
For young ladies, pretty walking-cos.
TUNES are made of wOOllen etamine, and
consist of plated skirt and tunic of some
dark shade or color, trimmed with narrow
fancy braid, woven with gold or silver
braid. The skirt is arranged in fiat treble
plaits, and is trimmed with braid, put on in
series of seven, five and three rows. The
tunic Is open at the top in two large revers,
edged with braid, over plain plastron,
striped across with the same. This tunic i:
arranged into short drapery in front and
limp puff at the back. The belt is entirely
covered with braid. The sleeves have fac
ings to match.

The other designs given do not need par
ticular descriptions, as their merits appeal
directly to the eye, and would be the same
in any good combination of materials.
Another pretty little coat seen here was
of heavy quality of white jersey cloth,
made plain and tight fitting and trimmed
with border heavy with gold embroidery,
the braid being stood on edge. 1t was fast-
ened with hooks in front, and the finish
ings of heavy silk cord and white satin fac
ings were delight to the eyes of any lover
of dainty garments.
An equally dainty affair was a jaunty
little REFER made of Isle of Wight cream
white serge, and lined with white satin, to
go with yachting costume. 1t was tight
fitting in the back, while the fronts were
loose. unbiased and double breasted. the
buttons being so arranged that both sides
could be folded back, or fastened one over
the other as preferred. 1t was edged en-
tirely with very pale-blue braid, and in
the corners, at the front as on the collar,
cuffs and pockets, were anchors, hand
someiy embroidered in dark blue Instead
of the anchor, the initial of the wearer. of
a yacht or yacht club, flag or any other
design is embroidered when preferred.

The second coat is of coachman's drab
serge, with dark terra Gotta velvet trim
mings, embroidered wish heavy copper
braid, which was not laid fatty in position,
but stood on edge, so that the design was
brought into relief. The effect of this COM
bination was exceedingly rich. while quiet
and tasteful. A hat to go with this coat
had tall, round crown. covered with cloth
with pipings of the velvet near the top, and
upturned, embroidered velvet brim. In
front were large standing loops of velvet
and surah, the latter of the same color as
the cloth of the coat.
Another coat of coachman's drab had a
graduated vest. high officers collar, pockets
and cuffs of very dark, dull lilac color, a
real lilac blossom color, and not the laven-
der shade which is sometimes called lilac.
This, too, was embroidered with the cop.
per braid, which is new thing in metallic
trimmings. and very handsome indeed.
