The Latest in Turbans, TOQues, Round
Hats and Flower Bonnets.
AS the season advances, milliners
talk less of toques for morning hats,
and commend round Spanish turbans
for wearing with tailor gowns and shop
ping toilettes. These are not the gem
uine toreador hats, but are modifica-
tioRS of them, with the box brim closer
against the crown; and instead of pom
pons and grelots for trimmings, there
are half-wreaths of some very small
flower, with upright loops of Grape or of
ribbon. A black Neapolitan turban
with a wreath of forget-me-not or of
mignonette or Of arbutus is not consid-
cred too dressy to wear with the sim
plest wooden gown in the morning.
The ribbon hats worn last season are
also made again OF gros grain satin
egged ribbon to match wool dresses.
The shapes vary, some Of them project
ing slightly in front, others being mere
ly turban shapes; but all are compact
and close, and the ribbon loops of which
they are made come forward from the
back, and are usually higher there than
in front.
The tendency is toward such snowy
flower-laden hats that even the tailors
and hatters fail to supply simple de-
signs for conservative tastes. A COM
promise ordered by women who dress
quietly is the slender tOque of black
Neapolitan, with a twist of crepe de
Chine along the edges, and wings or a
bird for trimming, or else the tOque is
- az ~
braids chosen by the wearer, and
trimmed with two rosettes of crepe de
Chine or Of satin directly in front, with
some pointed ends of velvet ribbon set
upward from their midst, and narrow
velvet ribbon strings brought from the
back of the crown to tie in a small bow
on the left side. The rosettes may be
alike, or else one of becoming color,
and the other black, as aubergine loops
OF satin ribbon with a rosette Of bias
black satin drawn round and round; or
else there are two shades of Grape in
the rosettes, one of ecru, the other dark
brown, or one of pale green and the
other dark myrtle green. Tho velvet
ribbon strings match the darkest shade,
or else they are black, and only An inch
wide.
The boat-shaped hats OF last year are
the favorite English walking hats for
young ladies' and are made of open
Straws or of thin Neapolitan braids for
morning and travelling and Of shirred
tulle--black, green or brown-for dressy
afternoon wear. Gold ribbon an inch
and half wide, more flexible than
GALLON, yet of woven metal threads, is
the trimming for many Of these hats; it
surrounds the crown close at the back,
and is brought forward to the front Of
tho peaked brim, and tied there in a
small bow. Ribbon loops are added at
the back on morning hats, but flowers
trim those of tulle for afternoon, as u
few long-stemmed pink roses laid along
the front, and hold by the bow of gold
ribbon.
Flower bonnets are still very fashion
able, the newest being of two wreaths
lying fat on the head, like bandeaux or
hllets, with open spaces between. 9th
ers have a coronet of jet or net next the
face, with wreath of yellow or pink
roses browning the open center, and a
high black aigrette. Black velvet pan
sizes, violets, or daisies with yellow cen.
ters form fat wreaths on dark bonnets,
and are considered very elegant garni'
lures. and not elderly looking. When
flowers are used to cover the whole
crown, those OF unusual coloring are
selected, as sweet-pea blossoms thai
look we'll with the stylish pinkish pur
pie velvet ribbons, or nasturtiums o.
varied tints with brown velvet strings
or else dark gilly-flOwers are massed OF
the crown, with lighter velvet quilted
along its edges and tied in q bow il
front holding some green leaves erect q!
an aigrette. These with bonnets o
green rose leaves are now preferred t.
the familiar violet and rose petaleC
bonnets. -Harper's Bazaar.
