Bonnets for strictly theatre wear are
more minute affairs and are promin-
emily Powered. A bunch of bewilder-
ing millinery that might be worn by
/ either maid or young matron to the
play, begins with a wreath of tiny
/ pink crush roses that are drawn to-
/ gether until they form one unbroken
line that lies fiat over the head from
ear-tip to ear-tip.
/ Next in evidence comes a narrow
white lace barbe of misty fineness.
! This is stretched plainly in front OF
the roses and is punched delicately al
the sides, at one of which. rears a
black feathery' aigrette. giving tone to
the whole. Back of the whole affair,
to be seen from the front two great
rhinestone balls with hairpin ends.
fasten the side wings to the hair.
This dainty little conceit was de-
cidedly Dutch.
Theatre bonnets for oldish women
show fewer flowers and more Set.
Trimmings are flattened and put on
with a sedate air.
Braided Stravvs.
In the matter of her street bonnets,
the oldish woman can choose from
many curious shapes never seen before,
and many of them demonstrated in a
fine straw braid that is as delightful
in tone as texture. Mild browns and
tender moss greens are most pleasing
to this braid, but a particularly capt.
waiting bonnet has a triangle in ivory
white with trimmings of black lace,
black velvet and white satin rosettes.
Other braid millinery Is in the shape
of turbans. whose two inch brims are
dented in places or often tied together
over the top with ribbons or velvets,
after the manner of soft baskets for
sailors and gypsy country hats. Flow
eTs are invariably the chief trimming
of these last and never were big-hat
flowers more charming than now.
The Vogue of Field Flowers.
Orchids and other weird hot-house
blooms have given way to all the
sweet things of the old fashioned posy
garden; to musk roses and spice pinks,
daffodils, nasturtiums, rose leaves and
sweet mignOnette; even the dear old
blue larkspur we have known in our
school days and fashioned into wreaths
and crosses, is seen.
Ribbon Novelties.
With great masses of these, large
hats for country and sea shore wear
are made further big and beautiful by
vast knots of ribbon that has a taffeta
finish and often a Towering border or
corded edge in a different tone. The
though smallish, and brims are waved
slightly to a perceptible cock a. the
left side. Trimmings are put on to have
an extreme width effect. 4 monster

New Black Hats.
Another, of black wired tu'le, had
great windmill arms starred with jet,
comprising entirely both front and
sides. The first was picturesque and
becoming; the last distinctly ugly A
hugh Maud Muller out-of-town affair
was particularly ravishing.
The crown of this hat which. TO
gether with flower boa and a fl wer
parasol that matched it, had beea de-
signed for a we'll known New York
beauty, was of black straw. The brim
or rough green straw, showing an I'M
der CLINT of fame, lifted slightly at the
left: two great fy-away bows of moss
green taffeta ribbon widened it, and he
remainder of the trimming was an eX-
tensive wreath of moss rose buds in
flame satin, Nesting in abundant foil
age.
The throat length boa of the rose
buds and foliage had ends of the tat
feta ribbon, which also tied the handle
and tops of the parasoI, that was made
of black gauze scattered heavily with
the flowers.
