Spring Bonnets.
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.

The prettiest lining that we know of

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
