LATEST MILLINERY.

For the present, high effects in headges
are still the rage. But it is limited ths
their reign is nearly over, and this con
sumntiou to be prayed for. Their toWerint
and absurd shape have proved unbscominG
to any type of face or feature. But, nj
matter, it is the fashion. and one must en-
dure it for a time at least. The bonnetE
are most of them very pretty, but the style
of trimming is monstrous. 1t gives ones
head the appearance of drum-head cab
bage, and going to seed at that. The CO.
quettish little fsh-wife poke appears again
in straw of every shade, and also made Of
wire with penthouse brim aud Normandy
crown, covered with soft putting of China
crepe or silk-wrought net. Nuns caps and
French priucesse bonnets are sold, made OF
jet beads strung On wire Some OF them
are worn IS they came, without even facing
so as to show the hair through the open
meshes. A very pretty bonnet is OF white
tulle, with border of white beads around
the edge. The drsped tulle forms sort
of cockade over the border, this cockade
is fastened with sprays OF pink and white
heather.
Another bonnet, also Of white tulle, is
x,th natuJnFk nj hna
pearl beads. 1t is trimmed With light
cluster of hedge-roses and lilies OF the val
lev. A canchoise bonnet is OF tiue white
Brussels straw. The border is quite plain,
lined with pale pink satin, and hes Hat over
the hair. The crown stands up high and
stiff, like that of the caps of the peasant
women in the Pays-de Csux. A deep Dor
der of black velvet goes round it and 10
Tied in front in bow. Over this is placed
q small bright-colored bird. Strings OF
black velvet proceeding from the border
round the crown are tied in front in bow
with short ends.
A new style of trimming is to take
long piece OF ribbon and lay ii over the
bonnet from border to curtain IN close rows
An algrette Of flowers placed at the side
completes the trimming The strings are,
of course, of RIBBON to match.
Dressy bonnets are made OF black or
white lace trimmed with beads and with an
aigret'e of flowers. An elegant model OF
this kind is of Chantilly lace, with border
of large cut-iet beads. 1t is trimmed with
q beautiful aquatic bcquet composed OF
two wster.lilies mixed with msiden-halr
fern and lovely tinted foliage.
Although the hats are much like those
worn for some time past, yet there ls
greater variety. Some ara very high, with
a tiny brim; others, on the contrary, very
wide brim, turned up on one side. The
Muller hat, worn by the actress OF that
name, is a great success. 1t ID OF lichen.
colored straw, with moderately high crown,
the brim dropping quite low on the right
siee and turned straight on the lett, lined
with moss velvet. 1t is fastened with an
aigrette of loops of moss.greeu ribbon. An
enormous cluste of pink moss roses is
placed in front
Round hats are very high in the crown
aud have the brim wider on one side than
the other and slightly rolled upward. Some
hats have little if any brim at the back OF
the head, it being cut up to the crown, so
there is no projection whatever at the back.
1t is more fashionable to trim this style OF
hat at the back than at the front Long |
plumes are 30 set as to fall over the back
of the head and relieve the "cIt oil ap- |
pesrance of which many ladies have com

side with loops OF ribbon or large bunch !
of fowersf or short hait,loug ostrich plumes,
Many hat frames are covered with lace or
Grape and thickly set with beads A few
large round hats have Jersey cloth covers
under q net work Of beads or knotted cord |
or braid, but although some OF them are
im portations Of the present season they ore
not considered strictly fashionable.
A very desirable shape has crown Of
medium height and a rather broad brlm,
rolled back on the ,ide and in front There
is facing of velvet and trimming OF
loops of ribbon of graduated leugths, those
nearest the crown being quite as long as
can be supported by their strength; indeed,
some of them have ribbon wire folded IN
side and caught By stitch; those mex IN |
front are about an inch shorter, and the
third row but little over finger long
These are of rather narrow ribbons, bro 4der |
ones nsed.ug more than two rows, and very
wide ribbons requiring hut one row as they
ill the hat out too much if they are too
abundant.
Some new hats are trimmed with the 70
settles before spoken Of, aud with several
colors carefully selected the effect is very
pretty. A moss green hat, with the loops
shading from a moss green outside to a
Chsrtreuse and then clear pale yellow, is
rather s,rising, but reminds one forcibly of
a vegetable market and heads # salad
