tlrtlY ucaUCn SOUND tnCN make SOUNDS TO
seem in different directions, and they come
out SO far over the face that the eye cannot
catch a half backward glance u, an ap
proaching danger Besides they are any
thing but pretty
had private view this week of some
models of fall and carly winter designs. l
must pronounce them the uglicst creations
Of the century Those for early fall are of
horschair and straw mingled in fancy open
work patterns, with notched and scalloped
edges, and with similar edge projecting
all around the crown and setting upward
at an angle of about 40 degrees. Around
this crown a plain ribbon is drawn and
1t ends on each side with Il small bow
without ends The ribbon is then carried
OH forward and ends in strings to tic be-
meath the chin. Directly on the top is set
n small bunch of flowers. sometimes of
one kind and sometimes of several kinds,
among IA series of loops of ribbon. Inside
the brim is II putting or elaborate stirring
of illusion or crepe lissc. The whole bon
net is lined with ncapolitan silk in the
same color as the puflingS, and this shows
family through the opcnwork
have been thus particular in describing
this bonnet, as the form is the model for
nearly all the bonncts for next season,
though there will naturally be some modi-
flcations. Shrred bonncts made over q
foundation will also he seen, but made in
this form, which is called the Marie
Louise. These are of surah, china silk or
satin, and they are shirred over bamboo
reeds i'm fanciful pattern, such as clusters
of stirring Hat or with one part raised
like a ruflle. Clusters of four or five mar
row shirrs with reeds inside are set to-
inch wide, but they are all arranged 50
that the edge shows double rutlle. Some
have capes, and some have none.
There will be velvet bonnets made shir
red, folded and plain. In the latter case
the velvet is drawn smoothly over a stiff
foundation, and the edges are finished off
with pipings of satin, sometimes as many
as five cOlors or shades being represented.
The inside is sometimes smoothly faced
with silk or satin and sometimes shirrcd
or pulled. Much good Judgment should
be used in the choice of this face trim
ming, as the color comes so close to the
skin and in such an uncomprOmising
plainncss that it would be fatal to beauty
if a wrong color was chosen. Turquoise
blue is always becoming to blue eyed la
dies, and pink in its flesh tints as well az
maize to bruncttcs There are also several
brown shades and one or two greens that
certain compilations can bear, but white
will prove becoming to all, even the most
sallOW. These bonncts cannot he graceful
nor yet beautiful but they will he worn,
and we cannot help it. but though l may
| often he called upon to describe them my
fountain pen shall dry up forever before |
will call them anything but ugly things
There is another style of bonnet, which
we might call hat if we We're charitably
disposed, which has a very wide front
brim and narrow back, with IA medium
crown. This is trimmed and will be all
through the fall, with brocaded or cheney
ribbons in large bows and twisted drap-
cry. They have strings which bring the
sides of the flexible brim down to the ears
when tied under the chin, and this throws
the front up poke fashion. These two
shapes are the models upon which al v.
the new fall and winter head coverings
will be made Try to reconcile yourselves,
my sisters, for che fat ha, gone forth,
and we must accept tho dispchSatiun.
There ar among the women OF today
two classo THOSE who follow blin!ls cv-
cry new style, no matter how outre it nay
