BONNETS.
Bonnets still are rather small than otherwise, and, in opposition to the hats, are simple in style. Some very pretty ones are made entirely of pearls, either yellow or white, Of moderate size, with rows of very tiny ones to divide them. And I notice a most elegant one made on a very small shape with white satin strings, its only adornment being a white ostrich feather, which covered the front, and beneath which only a narrow fringe of pearls falling upon the hair could bo seen. Bands of pearls very prettily ornament lace and chip bonnets, with fringes of the same edging the brim. In very bad taste are some bonnets composed entirely of fruit, as they have been and now are of fiowers. I have seen one entirely of red currants, unrelieved even by foliage, and another of blackberries, but this had certainly a good deal of bramble and blossom mixed with the fruit.
