Private millmers, says Harpen c Bazar for the current week, havo had tlieir full openings of bonnets, aiid t tled the matter of shapes for the season. J Fashionable French milliners have i ready moditied the extremely. large I nets sent out at the beginning of the j season, and now inake a gracefvil bonnet f of admirable proportiona and smaller i size. The flaring aureole brim is , tained, but the crown is smaller, and the cottage sides iit the head so closely that J the bonnet scarcely needs au elastic for i holding it on. The ribbon strings that ] j we recorded as a sensible fashion, it i , seems are not to serve their natural ] t poses of tying the bonnet under the ] chin, but aro to be crossed behind the , head and passed around the neck as a J drapery for the neck, instead of the , black lace scarfs [lately worn. Black tullo and lace are used for tuis purpose as well as ribbon, and this is the only way in which black lace appears upon the bonnets. Ecru cashmere lace is seen in all the best millinery houses, but i is most sparingly used. Very full face i trimmings, usually of velvet, chiffonne - that is in regular loops, knots, halfbows, rosettes, that are placed on one side, and in many odd curves a la Renaissance - are all in the new nets. The stylish flowers are full soft tufts of roses, "or carnations, ov artemisias, with brown íoliage, mossy buds, piue cones, burs, and unblown buds. J?elt hats will be worn bcfore the velvet ones are put on', and many of them are so handsome that they will be worn on dressy ocoasionsthrougliout the_season. GLOVES. There will be less matching". the glove with the shade of the dress than formerly. Sooh dark shades are now chosen for costumes that light-eolored gloves of some harmonious tint ave used to brighten the toilet. Tlms with myrtle green, plum, or navy blue dresses the gloves are of the neutral shades of mode color, wood, drab, or cream. For those I who prefer a monotoned toilet there are i dozens of sliades of each of the stylish I colors, slate gray, blue, green, and brown. It is Baád that gniy will be the '■ provalent color for gloves to wear with I various dresses. Brown is ehown in all the "beige" huos, and tl:e blue-black ! gloves of last year reappear. The safest Í purchase, however, is the demi-shades : of brown and gray, sueh as the natural I colors of undressed kid gloves, as these are worn with any dress, and espocially ! with blaek costumes.
