Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-08-18

1t was made with a projecting front and
a long, white curtain reaching to the
waist, the whole finished with a narrow
frill, rolled and whipped with infinite
care, each tiny gather picked up with
the needle in way that is lost art in
the days of sewing machines. That was
q sunbonnet in fact. Simplicity is the
present craze and the sunbonnet is
restored to favor, but the fair maid of
fashion who reads of Marie AntOinette
and Little Trianon improves as she thinks
upon so ancient model and this is the
moderniZed imitation as exhibited quite
triumphantly few days ago.
1t was made of large plaid lawn, in each
block was an embroidered spot. The
lawn was cut on the bias, the front so
that the plaid formed points that were
cut out and buttonhole stitched around,
the top and bottom of the cape finished in
the same way. The sides of the bonnet
were shlrred in five shirrs over large
cord, the front set on the sides plain, the
top in box plaits, so that it sets up lit
tie and forming an inside trimming is
full plating of lace. The crown is set in
with large box plaits, which gives it high
effect and the top is finished by bow of
white ribbon and white ribbon ties. This
it was pretty and quite becoming, and
what more does a Nineteenth century girl
crave?
Well, yes, she would like to know what
kind of hat is worn just now in Paris,
and who can refuse so simple a
wish when the Millinery Trade
Review gives a hint of jealousy
guarded secrets? It says: among the
most striking styles was a large black
lace hat, the lace frilled at the edge and
trimmed with small bows of pale pink
velvet and two or three black ostrich
feathers. One in pale green straw had
a bow tied carelessly IN front and band
and small bow Of light spring green vel
vet. A black cTinoline hat, bordered
with an inch wide band of straw, resting
on a jet corOnet lined with pink velvet;
outside there is plume of pink feathers.
Pipings of green velvet are laid
around the edge of small,
close fitting bonnet entirely made of
narrow gold braid. Two or three white
ostrich tips were arranged as a coronet.
Another bonnet had a soft crown of can
vas embroidered with gold and edging of
black corn flowers, while in the front
were upwright bows of very dark green
velvet. Black hats plumed with black
were worn with RED ana Wnlte costumes.
A fat yellow straw hat, with the crown
shelving down to the front. had a semi
circle of black ostrich feathers laid on
the edge of the brim; and one of the
same material was lined with black vel
vet and ornamented with two groups of
yellow paradise feathers and a small
plume of black ostrich. The only
trimming outside of a yellow hat
of medium size was plume of
black ostrich attached to the front of
the crown and black velvet strings
to pass under the chin and fastened I'M
der the left ear. a brown velvet bonnet
had a double bow of white ribbon set in
front. A yellow Grape capote has blac K
velvet bow set between two yellow wings.
It will thus be seen that there are strong
reasons for believing that black velvet
ribbon and black feathers will be much
worn the coming winter. -
Although September days are near,
the Southern girl in southland knows
that for her there are yet muslin days
when she can wear pretty, inexpensive
costume, that it may be her own
pretty fingers have devised. A
sparkling brunette wore a few even
ings since, such a gown, which
she whisDeringly asserted did not cost
over five dollars. 1t was of cream mus
