[New York Suu.] • • Bonnets grow larger and smaller. Neck lingerie grows mote voluminous. Loose-wri-ited Bernhardt gloves remain the most fashionable. Dolly Varden muslin handkerchiefs appears among new neck lingerie. Hat and bonnet ornaments are in better ste this season than for a) long time. Neckerchiefs in Quaker gray shades are affected by ladies of conservative tastes. Christmas ca-ds come in better dosigns and finer finish for the price this season than last. The gilt dagger with jewelled hilt is the favorite bopnet pin; it is thrust through the large bow on one side of the head, and requires artistic taste to give it the correc angtle *of incidence or reflection to the base of the bonnet or hat crown. A pretty fancy for a Christmas card has a small hand-made pocket or bag of old gold or satin attached to it at one end; the card is simply a fine, bevelled and giltedged, oblong slip of Bristol board, the pocket, which is intended as a port cadean for a gold thimble, or any other bijou, and a tiny bouquet, is finished at the bottom with a yellow nutshell, and has draw strings of gold cord at the top.
