| Charming Bonnets Designed by Ameriea;s
Foremost Artists
Tulle bOnnets, in emulation of En-
| ..lish STYLES, are now worn all winter
or theater and dress bonnets. and
.oses and other flowers are their gar
liture- Pale straw-colored tulle is
nd in small folds along the crown of
me model with yellow roses down the
middle of the crown and a full putting
If moss-green velvet along the brim.
The Manor bonnets of poppy red tulle
ave knife-plaitings extending back
| ward from the front, and forming a
full frill over the forehead; black
watered ribbon is then used for the
| stylish ten-end bow on the left side,
with tulle rosette that covers the
right, or else the bonnet is outlined
with narrower black MORE ribbon on
which are set cunning little butterfly
bows in front and on the crown.
Gobelin blue tulle is similarly made
with creamy ribbons, and pale pink
! tulle with mOss-green ribbon and a
high aigrette. There are also large
round hats for evening with the brim
of shirred tnlle, and the entire crown.
! without lining. is made of soft surah.
or velvet, or else of wide sash ribbon
laid ON in large folds and loops that
are graceful and understanding.
Very dressy bonnets for light mourn
ing are made of black watered silk
shirred on cords in cone-shaped
crown. edged with two torsades or
twists along the brim. one of the silk
and the other of China Grape, and
trimmed with a crown bow of black
watered ribbon. or of gros grain with
watered edge, and strings OF the same.
Black tulle b0nnets are made in the
plated Naron shapes. and trimmed
with an aigrette and watered bow.
There are also dressy mourning bon
nets made entirely of pointed loops of
narrow watered ribbon. each pointed
end finished with a bead, while other
transparent bonnets are made Of silk
cords joined with dull beads or by gilt
tering, polished jet beads strung to-
gether. English Grape bonnets arc
made with the long soft puffs fashion
able in cOlored bonnets, instead Of the
severe plaits and folds formerly
used; thus Grape Nanon bon
net is trimmed with an Alsacian bow
of wide gros grain ribbon, or u capote
of English Grape has the brim tucked
and shirred, and the crown (without
lining) is gathered and pulled in long
soft folds. The vail Of Grape is much
less used than formerly. many ladies
finding it unwholesome, especially
when worn over the face. and very
heavy when draped to hang behind; in
some families it is interdicted alto
gether, while others wear it over the
face only at the funeral. having it
Immediately afterward draped to hang
behind, arranging it in high folds as a
trimming on the bonnet. instead of in
the fiat smooth folds lately used. Walls
of silk-warped nuns vailing are made
up with stitched hens. and many pre-
fer them to Grape. Face walls of Brus-
sells net or of tulle are now worn long
enough to cover the whole face. The
widows ruchc of crimped white lisse
is no longer de rigueur for the bonnets
of young widows. as they find it con-
spicuous, though it is retained by old
ladies.
Large poke bonnets of felt with nod
ding plumes. oows. loops and strings
of watered ribbon are worn by little
girls; these may be white for very
small girls, but for those from eight
to twelve years of age they are usu-
ally OF dark color to match the cloth
cloak with which they are worn.
Gobelin blue felt pokes with gray os-
trich tips are worn by little girls in
their walks on Fifth avenue, with gray
blue cloth cloaks made with tie cape
entirely Of plating. Terra-cotta pokes.
and also large round hats of felt. are
trimmed with gray Astrakhan or with
natural beaver and worn with long
cloth redingotes of the same color by
girls of twelve or fourteen years.
