The Question of Bonnet Strings.

A perfectly kind but perfectly firm
stand has been taken by the milliners
on the question of bonnet strings. By
coaxing their fashionable customers,
using little sternness with their coun-
try patrons and by fibbing Industrious
ly these artful milliners hope to inocu
late women with the notion that strings
are really the mode. A really sweet rose
and bow bonnet that can't be worn save
with the aid of strings has done more
to help the milliners in their crusade
than anything else. This bit CT perfec-
fion consists Of two airy wired loops of
tulle,or lace Joined in the middle by a
big silk rose or carnation or orchid, and
planted conspicuously on the very front
of ones head and supported by the hair
combed high and forward. The wing
like loops jut far to right and left and
are held ostensibly in place by very
narrow scarfs of tulle that pass down
under the chin and knot in a tiny tuft-
like bow under the left ear. These bon
nets promise to have a conspicuous
place on the heads of spring and sum
mer bridesmaids. New York Sun.

in such way that the fullness may be
taken up by darts around the hips and
the top finished by a straight strip
stitched down to hold the edge firm.
This idea is now adopted by every
body, and all possible means Of insur-
ing slenderness are now sought. The
best way to have the skirt of the gown
lie smoothly across the hips is to wear
the corset outside the petticoat, over
all the rest of the Underwear. This
gives an unbroken line and abolishes
all folds.
The petticoat, like the gown skirt, Is
tight and plain as far down as the
knee, being fitted by darts. Below the
knee it blossoms out into luxuriant
ations-innumerable flills, plait-
ings, ruflies, puffs, ruches and bows Of
ribbon. AS the flare of the gown must
be sustained by the petticoat, no crino-
line or other stiffening being now en-
ployed, all this exuberant trimming is
q fashionable necessity.
