Gayiy Trimmed Hats.

made gowns with feathers and ribbon
chou trimmings. or draperles Or straw
net with large handsome ouills thrust
through the folds For dress she will wear
iace and tUlle and chiffon hats Many Of
the crowns will be composed OF small
chiffon Tuches and the entire brims o.
gathered chiffon or mousseline For fSm-
ming. these airy creations have masses o.
flowers, or drapeTies OF lace by the yard
or white lace wells used as draperies. And
then there are the new feathers OF pluat.
ed tulle, with firm Guills down the center.
The thin material is edged with narrow
silk ribbon or velvet. and the effect Is
wholly charming. Then lhere are hats OF
black tulle trimmed with black ChantiIly
lace, and d single large pink rose or a
clump Of violets.
Here are TWO delightful hats: the frs
a tOque Of bright blue straw with a huge
blue poppy at one side These immensc
blue popDies half of satin ana half o.
velvet, are the veTy latest craze, and
should have felt badly had | omitted to
mention them. The other has was a
dark red straw. with the crown entirely
covered with a single rose in velvet and
satin and draped with a scarf of cid lace
tied at the back, the ends falling en- the
hair. There are very many all red hats
shown
Now for the evening gowns Of Madem-
oiselle, 1889 They will consist mainly OF
transparent materials, and she will BE-
sure to have one of black spangled net
made up over white. with long unlined
sleeves Of the net. IL she is anxious 20 b
very swell indeed, she will also have one
or black lace which shan trail itself over
layers OF HOUsseiine de sole. which MAY
De either white or m3uve. or course the
accessories and the twist OF chiffon In
the hair must correspond. Lace whether
white or black, looks better lined with
mousselinc de sole or chiffon than placed
directly over satin. / wonder how many
yards of this frail material we shall use
during the season.
Ribbons Galore.
Miss 90 will wear lace neck scarfs Isng
enough when tied 10 reach 10 the waist
and from seven to nine inches wide. These
scarfs are made in needle-run lace, and
also with Gppliques of Duchesse sprays
and are of a light cream tint Even a
more important part of her neck toilet will
be the velvet and silk collars and stocks.
Most Of these she will have made very
high with a point under each ear. They
are attached 20 a band which fastens
round the throat. and generally have a
regatta tie I'm front For more dressy
occasions small turned-dOwn collars bar
