men are right IN this matter-there is
but one proper way for a human being to
ride horse, and that is O cGjjfOUrcbOH.
Here is a charming creation surmounb-
ing very shapely head and piquant face.
IL consists OF 8 crown OF several folds OF
ribbon velvet, with a low pOuf of French
crepe, the whole set off by two large Jet
butterflies. The velvet strings have no
bow under the chin but are drawn tight
so as to give an idea OfWOman and bonnet
being all one. 1t is one thing to be the
owner OF handsome bonnet and quite
another to know how to wear it. A bon
net to be becoming must have something
" clean-cut and natty" about it. A woman
doesn't wear bonnet to be picturesque,
but to be stylish. In a recent breach of
promise casein London there were several
ladies present with bOnuets of such
striking beauty that the learned Judge re-
marked that he hoped the owners Of the
beautiful bOnnets were not pre- sent taking
notes so as to be prepared in case they
should be plaintiffs themselves. What a
charming compliment to the taste Of our
English cOusinsi That Judge deserves to
be made chief justice for his discernment.
True, the law has a maxim which says
that 1t never gives any consideration to
trihes. But is a woman bonnet a tribe?
A certain husband complained that he
didn't object to paying twenty-five or
thirty dollars for a bonnet for his wife.
but he did hate worse than thunder
to quote him hteraliy-tO get o little for
his money. Pity about him! A bonnet
is a garniture, not an article of clothing.
The design and scope Of a bonnet is to
accenuate, set of, heighten. That man
ought to buy a fur-lined hood for his
wife, to keep her warm. No doubt she
makes 1T warm enough for him.
All, here's a dainty round hat Of plain
black neapOlitan braid, trimmed with a
broad band of twisted Grape, with bunch
Of pansies in front and wing on one
side; iaunty, natty, and altogether taking
when you put a young and pretty face
under it. You viii notice that this
demuTe little miss had cOiled her hair in
a knot low in her neck and fastened it
with q comb, thus producing an effect of
great piquancy. What nonsense men do
talk. Those who do the most preaching
about dress extravaganza at home are the
very ones who notice handsomely
dressed woman on the street. Brown
came In the other evening and began tell
ing his wife how he had Just met Miss
tleurette Finks, who wore a stunning
berstta Of wide green velvet gathered in
and nearly covering a hat brIm Of black
lace, with spray OF velvet heartsease
between crown and brim. in front and an
other at the back.

inquired Mrs Brown. calmly
Yes said Brown, meekly.

well. L don't know replied Brown,
unless 1t be that a man gets tired of the
same heading Try me on a beretta.
Brown was in earnest. He would have
been delighted to see the matronIy Mrs.
Brown IN a crimson velvet beretta. Not
one man IN ten thousand can help his
wife on her toilets. ReasOn2 Simply
because he doesn't give the subject any
thought. Let the young wife teach her
husband how to appreciate handsome
things, and he'll take more interest in
