Woman's World for September: How
much woman's fates are influenced by
the milliner! The universal wearing
of the green" "a hardly be said to be
becoming, pretty as prevailing styles in
dress certainly are. The lightest Char
treuse tones suit only very young, fair
skins: and yet, nothing daunted, blondes
and brunes, women of all ages, all
forms, and all compilations, have ac-
cepted it, with the confidence of utter
ignorance as to the disastrous results.
1t harmonizes only with cream and
black; but a pink rose nesting in hat
or bonnet goes specially we'll with apple
green, the pink being of the tone of APP
ple-blossom. Palmerston defined dirt
as "a thing in the wrong place." and
many colOrs good in themselves and
beautiful in nature are altogether ill
placed and ugly IN dress.
Steel trimmings have come to the
fore, either in or out of mourning.
Sleeveless jackets, composed entirely Of
fine steel beads on an invisible ground,
have had loops of larger beads to fall
over the shoulders, and these have been
worn over green and black dresses, with
panels of the same fine work on the
skirt, and cuffs and collars on the bod
ices. Many of the coats have been Or

the pockets deliberately worked to
match.
Yellow is the color which seems best
to accord with late summer and early
autumn, but the yellow worn this season
with white gowns is of a deeper one
than the light corn-color, which suits a
dark skin so well, and accords with sun
shine. Yellow roses of all colors crown
the leghorn hats, whose broad brlms
are now twisted into fantastic forms
very unlike the old hats of this kind
worn by the Miss Kenwigs Whom Dick
ems immortalized), tapping down we'll
in the front and at the back, the long
plaits of hair tied at the end with rib
bon visible beneath.
A wag described the latest fashion in
head gear as a Home Rule" bonnet,
because it had no crown, and some of
the newest models, literally, have 10
crown at all, only an aperture bordered
with a wreath Of roses, the back hair
showing well through. 1t requires an
education to tell a hat from u bonnet
now, or certainly a bonnet from q toque.
Most of the newest bonnetS have nc
strings. The toques may be a little
closer, and, without standing up in a
point over the face, show the fringe of
hair, which makes them becoming.
They are often composed OF plain un-
plated straw of rose wigs, and other
unusual material, spring being quite
the newest. The kind used is of a very
light shade; the bonnet is made of it in
a fancy plat, and the aigrette of loops
to match. The dress to wear with such
a bonnet could be trimmed with coarse,
well made strings, edging the velvet
cuffs and collars, and this forms a happy
contrast. Feathers have yielded the
palm to ribbons and artificial flowers,
which are used in such profusion that
the entire crowns Of hats and bonnets
are hidden by them. This is a step in
the right direction. A superabundance
of f athers has been worn of late, re-
calling the story of a certain Lady
Cork, who, a century ago, wore so large
a plume in her turban that the critic of
her day said she resembled a Shuttle
cock, all cork and feathers
