For The Ladies

Har per' $ Bazar says: Spring bonnets trimmed ready to wear have arrived, and are a creamy white mass of chip, ribbons, lace and flowers, all of the one shade that is already becoming monotonous. The chips are very fine, and the preference for y ello white is marked, for although colored chips - brown, gray or black- are imported untrimmed, not one colored bonnet is found among the large importations of trimmed bonnets for models. The new rotigh-flnished yet glossy straw bonnets are very handsome, and are brought out m the best shapes. ' These are not the coarse rough-and-ready straws formerly used, but are fine satin-faced rice straws of ecru tint, yet with raised braids that give them a stylish rotigh surface. The new shapes are close at the sides, project above the forehead, are short behind, and those most in favor with the best milliners have square crowns ; yet there are many round crowns, and many pokebonnets of more or less pronounced shapes; the latter are rejected by leading dealers, butyoung ladieshave found out that they are becoming and are easily ;rimmfcd, henee those who do their milinery at home ■will select the pokes for another season. A few bonuets have the 'ront slightly rolled in coronet shape, jut the naring brims that now encircle ;he faöe like a halo are passé. The straw cnrtains described last week are not argelv represented.
