The first importations of French bon¬ nets show the large Clarissa Harlowe shapes, with brims that flare above the forehead, the and are tied down closely at clcse sides, bat also small bonnets with brims like those popularly worn during the winter. The soft crowns now worn in caps and turbans of velvet or satin are so much liked that they have been produced in chip and straw bonnets. ThLe have close fronts and are with apt large to be trimmed bow infklsacian There style also a on top. are soft crowns of satin, either plain or striped, or else of damasse silk in Per¬ sian patterns, used with chip biims. Fanchons, kerchiefs or three-cornered half hand of white satin embroidered in colors, and edged with Breton lace, are also used on the crowns of chip bonnets. A peculiar novel* y seat over from the best French milliners is the wine-colored obip ior the entire bonnet, or else braids of wine-color alternating with white chip in rows oa the entire bonnet, A great deal of wine-colored satin ribbon is used for trimming the eoru chips that will be worn early in the spring, and this is often combined with cream-color. The bonnets with flaring brims have nt face trimming, but are lined with shir¬ red satin of a becoming color. A wreath of foliage or of grasses in the new rosean or reed-green shades passes aronnd the crown, and satin ribbon of the same green shade is passed plainly over the crown, tying down the sides, and is m^^Sk^the^pposite knotted under the chin for atrings. nSvofvSe ‘ faience-blue, or it may be the new ore un tint called Satsuma. Pink with blue in Pompadour combinations is also seen in the new ribbons, and there is much gar¬ net with ecru. The satins for millinery are the soft qualities spoken of in Mad¬ ame Raymond’s letters as the foulard • finished satins. India muslin edged with Breton lace trims some of the finest French chips. The brim has a wide shirred binding of the India muslin that shews at least an inch in breadth both inside and out, while beyond this, inside the brim, is a bandeau ot velvet either black or bottle-green. The top of the crown has a soft crimped white ostrich plume held by some veined leaves of dark green velvet. The strings of double India muslin, edged with plaited Breton lace, cross the crown, droop on the back, and are fastened under the chin. In direct contrast to this is the dress bonnet of black Spanish lace made of a broad barbe more than a fourth of a yard wide, which is tied in a large Alsacian bow on top, passes down the sides, and is tied under the chin ; seme green foliage made of transparent crape in roseau shades is placed on the sides, and a chased arabesque ring of gold holds the Alsacian bow in place. On plain chip bonnets are many very small pipings of satin placed inside the brims, while others have silk with cords stitch ed in on the ontside. The ronnd hats for dressy wear at summer resorts are very picturesque. Some of these are made of white China crape, with the broad brim turned up directly above the forehead, and filled in with crashed roses or artemisias in pale ecru and pink shades ; two large white ostrich plumes cover the crown. Broad-brimmed Leghorn hats have each side caught down witL square bowa of cream-colored satin ribbon, and a bou¬ quet of field flowers. Gray chip round hats have high brigand crowns, and the brim is turned up on the left side. Persian damask silk is tied like a hand¬ kerchief around the crown. The black , chip ronnd hats for city use are of Eng ^.peo, “d in »h. .tjte taxm. brf year as equestrienne. Home of these are trimmed with brocaded gauze in colors, and others with black satin striped gauze. Ornaments are shown in imitation of silver set with brilliants that glitter like diamonds; these form anchors, daggers, crowns, buckles, tri- dents, arrows, darts, with many dragons, beotles, Flowers butterflies and even turtles are used in very great profuf sion, as wreaths for crowns, ball wreaths for the forehead, and above all in bouquets of long-stemmed roses of field flowers.— Harper's Bazar. New* and Notes for Women. The princess of Wales sets the fash¬ ions for Paris and London. The prettiest lining that we know of in a bonnet, is a smiling face. Miss Mary Jane Wadleigh, of Sutton, Mass., has one hundred pet cats, and when one of them dies she has it bnried and its grave marked by a neat monu¬ ment. New York women present each guest at their kettledrums with a miniature Dutch teapot filled with sugar-plums. A Jewess and an Irish girl are manag¬ ing a shoe shop in Cincinnati, and man¬ aging it well. Both are daughters cf widowed mothers, and each aids in the support of her family. “When I wath a little boy,” lisped a very ‘‘all stupid soci&fy man to a young lady, my ideath m life were thentered on being a clown." “Well, there is at least one case of gratified ambition,” was the reply. An English lady named Wigglesworth makes paper artificial flowers so won¬ derfully true to nature as to deceive flowers even gardeners at first sight. These are used for decorating ohurches and dinner-tables. San Francisco has an Infante* Shel girls war. about e?ghfc U yeanj ag<J°and sL daily gives a home to fifteen children, besides charge protection is to as many more. No made for simply taking eare of a child, and three meals a day are famished for ten cents. The princess of Tanjore, who has not only made her appearance in public, but permitted the governor of Madras to invest her with the insignia of the Star of India, is the most highly-edu¬ cated princess in the Orient. She owes her intellectual culture to the aid of an accomplished young German lady, and has made considerable progress in Eng¬ lish. The Knave Bible. About two centuries ago an idea— par by originated by Falier—was cur¬ rent that in some rare editions the apos¬ tle Paul designated himself “ Paul, a knave of Jeans Christ.” No such Bible really dale, existed; and the duke of Lauder¬ the well-known Scotch viceroy ot Charles II., having in vain endeavored to procure one, it occurred to Thornton, a worthless fellow by all account, that he could, by a little ingenuity, gratify his grace and serve himself at the same time. He got a Matthews Bible, dated lation MDXXXVII., and by careful manipu¬ the he erased the XVII., thus leaving date 1520 instead of 1537—fifteen years earlier than the oldest English Bible extant, that of the Cover dale. Not content with this dayring im¬ position, the he in a similar manner rubbed out word “ servaunte,” is i. 1, and substituted “ kneawe,” up of letters cut from other part* of xbm volume, so that the verse read, “ Paul, kneawe of Jesus Christ,” imbmiM “ Paul, a servaunte of JaattsfT the duke, who guineas for it.
