high appointed or square crowns bound
with velvet, bow tied in the front.
a NOVEL BONNET


A novel bonnet is made of gray vel
vet, OF the shade resembling an cle
plants fur; the crown is covered witt
silver braid, gradually shading off to tho
same coloring as the velvet; the front
stands up very high, and is. decorated
with large bunch of pink azalcas,
strings of tullc the same shade IS the
flowers.
A stylish bonnet is made of black
beaded tulle, with very high coronct;
in front high bow of red velvet, with n
large bunch of red and black cherries
and foliage falling over it; beaded tullc
strings, fastened with handsome ictpin.
Steel, gold and black beads arc fush-
lonablc i'll fringcs rs well as embroidery
gold beads especially are in favor for
dresses and small vcstmcnts. One Of
these, of gray cloth, has the collar COW
cred with n fringe of fine gold beads,
and the whole of the plastron is covered
with gold-bcad fringe. Bead embroidery
is used for everything, the plain and
colored beads both being used, the effect
in many and i'll fact most eases being
gorgeous. PasSCmcntcric corsclyts are
to be feature of the coming season;
these arc cXQuisitcly beautiful, and cor
rcSpondlngly cXtravagant i'll price. Rib
bons form an important part i'll trim
ming; bows arc used upon everything,
and an entire trimming six inches wide
is made to edge evening and dinner cos
tunes, formed of very narrow ribbon,
IKE bobbln, loop upon loop, making II
thick mass. RoscttcS are made Of the
Same ribbon, to correspond.
DRESS TRIMMINGS.
Bands of ctaminc, embroidered in
cross-stitch with silk, are employed in
trimming matinee and morning dresses
made of surah and foulard; rcvcrs col
lars and cuffs arc embroidered to core
spond with the bands and form very
pretty trimming. Lace of all kinds is
extensively used for trimming. Lace
embroidered with gold bullion is very
elegant to trim dinner and evening
dresses of black lace, silk or satin Vel
vets for trimming arc strewn with tiny
flowers in bright colorS.
Galloons and braids Of all kinds arc
the most fashionable trimmings. They
are plain or heavily beaded. Complete
sets OF the beaded ornaments are made
to correspond for trimming panels, vest,
cuffs and collar. The Weight Of some of
these, if elaborate, is truly appalling.
Natural fir cones, very small, are intro
duced as pendants on jet galloon; gold
is also used with jet. 1t, however, must
be of tho very finest quality, or it has IL
common, tawdry appearance. tringcs
OF sllvcr-gray seeds mixed with steel
beads and ornaments to correspond arc
shown to use upon gray wraps. These
arc new, stylish and very expensive.
Large steel, gold or jet balls are worn on
the ends of ribbon bows.
Suede gloves still continue fashiona-
bic. When will glacc kid gloves return
to favor? Suede is very well ior morn
ing wear, but certainly glacc Kid looks
better for drcssy costumes and evening
wear; but fashion is a stern autoc.4t and
must be obeyed, SO 10 change is yet to
be made. The tan color OF the kid is
yet the first choice, but black and vari-
GUS shades, matching the costume with
which it is to be Worn, are shown for
those who prefer match to contrast.
Four-button gloves arc the length most
used for general wear. For evening thc
length of the gloves and number Of but.
tons is regulated by the purse of the
owner. There is a slight disposition to
use some of the pale tints SO long dis
cardcd, as well rs the tan shades. Stitch
ing black and colors is seen Oh many of
the new gloves.
