open.work patterns known as "laccstraws" There
are few bonncts or hats of q single material; II the
brm is of open straw then the is velvet or OF
plain lace transparent enough to show the mar

yelled With velvet ribbons and loops. There are some
dainty little French toqucs which arc merely ban
deaux of flowers and lace the space where the crown
should be left open Just enough to display the
couture.
Another feature OF the coming Easter bonnet IS the
use Of velvet ribbon. This ribbon appears rs bows
and ties in various widths In a twolnch wlhth inc
ties are not bowed under the chin, but merely twSied
together and pinned on either side with jcwelled
pin. Other bonncts and hats are trimmed with
slender bows composed Of many loops OF narrow
velvet ribbon and are completed by ties of the Same
width, which are left long to be tied by inc "eirer

oqucs-for all bonnets toqucs short at the ears
with strings from the back-whch made OF dark
blue and brown lace-straw trimmed with blossoms
in harmonizing colors and coronet effect. stl other

Even the crowns Of large hats arc often open to

ous for anything. but carriage or country
wear and are worn more by women Of the Lady Gay

picturesque hats also worn 10y young, far girls
