a certain black lace bonnet is like the one
previously described as being similar to a
lady's morning cap, except that the corners
are rounded, leaving the hat saucer shaped
The foundation is wire and is covered with
three rows of black lace thickly plated.
The rows are fastened together with gold
bands. On the front is gold ornament.
AT the back is bunch of white lace and a
cluster of yellow feathers with gold orna-
ments at the back are used 30 fasten on a
pair of yellow strings.
One of the wide brimmed hats to which
allusion was made as being suitable for
morning weddings and other dressy occa-
sions, is of black and cream straw in alter
nate rows of each. The straw is in open
crochet pattern. The outside brim is black,
Next comes the cream, then another layer
of black and then the crown is reached.
The brim is caught up at the back with a
great sprig of lilacs. huge black lace
bow forms the background for the lilacs
and the loops and ends of the bow extend
far down ever the brim. This is extremely
becoming to all faces as the daintiness of
the material takes away all the harsh effect
which tends to make large brimmed hats
unbecoming to certain decided types of
beauty.
Young matrons about to launch them
selves into society as staid married women,
are finding becoming hat in tulle com
bined with flowers and jets. The staidness
consists in the hat being all one hue. The
tulle is twisted upon a wire frame so as to
make heavy roll at each side. The bon
net is .crownless. At the front if the tulle
selected be pink, pink hyacinths stand up
right and punches of the same flower are
seen at the back. Pink ribbon velvet
strings are fastened under the chin.
The loosely tied bonnet strings of year
ago are scarcely to be seen. The strings
must be snugiy drawn under the chin and
fastened either with a conventional bow or
with the stick pins previously described
The plate and platter shape hats come in
every conceivable variety. One style is
raised in the front In a slight peak The
hat is left untrimmed. except by large
bow upon the back, so large as to cover
what would be the brim in another hat. and
the greater part of the crown.
Women of an economical turn Of mind
can preserve the material in their purses
by buying very plain straw hat of the
platter shape and ornamenting it them
selves. The hat should be as small as pos
sible so as to leave plenty of room for toe
bandiwork which is to be put upon it.
Around the edge must be scolloped braid
of some fancy sort. Gold tinsel, silver ga
lon or any of the bright, gaudy tinsel
braids are suitable. Jet is also pretty anC
can be obtained for small sum. Sew the
braid on closely so that it forms the outside
of the brim.
All over the straw fasten on jewels tt
correspond with the dress to which the hat
is to be worn. Or, if so please the in
tended wearer, the jewels selected may b,
assorted" which gives a pretty variety
capable of being worn with any costume
Next comes the ribbon bow, which SHOULD
be preferably of gold or silver braid. Vel
vet ribbon is suitable and is in accordance
with the latest fashion, for this is ribbon
season, but the silver and the gold are NOR
modish and will be found to harmonic bet
