The HouneI Era.

We are living veritably in a bonnet
era. The bonnet is donned on every
possible occasion. This statement,
made from close observation, carries
with il encouragement 10 the sensibil-
tiles Of the amusement lover who at
tends the theatre and opera, to enjoy
their merits and not make a study of
millinery. Luncheon toilets are no
longer complete unless supplemented
with bonnet; and one cannot but adj
mire the stole firmness with which
party Of ladies will chatter lightly
through luncheon Of several hours
duration, their pretty heads burdened
with the weight Of fashionable bonnet
Perhaps the blame should be laid at the
doors of the milliners, who fashion such
marvelously becoming headgear that
they are irresistible.
