FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

(Frogs Le Foliet.)
Same of oar Most nOtte Modistes, who t the Min-
menrement of the season woke of a revolution in the form
lot otiose., have arty determined to mantas the style so
maw,. in favour with all ladies, and, at the same time, so i
cluveuesat. Bemuse, then, wilt still be worn in walking
and whin dram; while in dress the bodies will be ,
without haulms sal bascsasee. The skins very full indeed
when not trimmed, and stringed in double or triple plaits,
smordirg to the knew
At this intermediate lassos' too cool for the elegant little
mantelets whin refried daring the sammer, and not cold
enough for white: asseteass. we see Mehl tort' putty
hemlines of black taffetas, sad sometimes of this cloth.
They an worn hug, and fitting to the figure. When
mode of cloth they are frequently oily bound; whoa of
taster, they may be trimmed either with velvet, lace,
niches of tithes, cr soy of the gantry peasementtries, or
galore of ti it, nod velvet broth's, now so esquisitely
aide. The burnout, however, which promises to be a
favourite a the approaching writer, has already made its
appearance oa some exit evenings.
Pontoon are still mach wore, thovith some'skirte
are
trimmed an tablii r. It is said that gmffend diocese will
be very behlooabie; alio ruches es the edge of deep
flouseea B,m. b doe of dresses ere trimmed on the back
se well as es the hoot, en *cholla, forming a bind of psi-
feriae. It has a vary good effect in pompons gallon of two
There is nothing ',uncanny new is the form slaloms.
Some are made wit lo brood revers at the bottom, and reach
nearly to the wrist. They are equate, and not very wide;
toe; are warmer than many sleeves, but are only saitsble
for demo-todette.
A few uneevenaful attempts have been made to sitar the
style f bosseta, hut the taste for Is petit caveats is so '
universal (at least with the fail sex), that we suppose we '
mast sot at present expect soy greet chem. The fronts
an still wore small—the cowrie toned and flat—the corals
very large and onamented—the strings wide end long.
Toe season is Ott yet sufficiently &dreamt for bassets of
right material end nine to be laid cold.; so that rice
strew., crape, fear, strawy, and even tulle, trimmed with
outgoes dorm, ate still ten. Bosun of silk and crape
wised will. so doubt, very ens. reeppear. Ivy is very
much adopted as ea trimmest for rise straw bonnet,, either
in wreaths anon the front, cod hanging over the curtain, or
la bunch's on ells side..
We have very mob admired • new dower, In great de-
mind et the -rarest seams, celled "the autumn roes." It
Is more a limey them than a production of nature, sad is
made in 'arose colours, almost alwaya wised with black,
and forms s handsome ornamest for either • velvet, blonde,
or black lam bonnet. Yellow of cerise 'nuked with black
velvet
made in bright coloured velvet, also form a favourite and
Onset trimming; for initiate, a spray shaded from cerise
to the pellet pick, or from very dark to very light blue, hoe
a charming effect upon a terry velvet bonnet trimmed with
blonde ; indeed, almost all Omen us worn, only they an
/11•40 in bright colours with annum I shaded.
We must not, however, make ourselves to geueralities,
but proceed t e the description of some anklet and fandoso
able bonnets. One of tulle bouillons**, trimmed with •
wreath of email sprigs of 1131 Vere plated round the frost
edge, sod the curtain so arranged that put of the wreath
fell truth. Wet, mingling with the fall blonds which
surrounded the fat.
Another of rice straw; scrota the top was en assemblage
of violets pined quite close together, having something the
appearsom of a broad ribbon. It was narrowed cff at the
sides under • bow of rice straw with long ends, sized with
fancy grass and violet.. The inside of the front was
trimmed with dowers to match, and wide white strings,
edged with vicver, Gobbed this novel and recherche bonaet.
A light sal pretty crape 'menet *max trimmed with pink
and white terbps. A deep blonde fell over the curtain, as
which were placed lure and there a tulip with leaves.
Small half-open tulips and blonde orsomeated the Melds of
the frost.
Ono very elegant bonnet en ban noticed was made of
lilac taffetas, covered with a spotted white tulle, the front
edge being trimmed with a ruche. This ruche was ended
on each side under some carelessly placed branches of lilac,
fastened by for g floating brides of tulle, edged with a small
ruche of blonde. The curtain was trimmed In a corn-
spading maser with the brides. The effect altogether
produced was one of charming simplicity.
The Veiled' beanie, which we will eadeevour now to
describe, is an originslity which will have a place amongst
our most striking atveltiee. The West is in shape similar
to thtt of other bonnets lutenist under the chin, bat shove
this front is a kind of pail, formed of one piece, either of
black velvet cr any other matseial. Towards the rides this
puff, or seemed puff, is coquettishly 'made& The tl3llll IS
plain and ping. The hearth formed of several rounded
plaits, ending under a wreath of fra'here which edge, the
bonnet, sod j des behind the crown. Very full blonde, with
a long spray of El .wen on one elle, and small separate
bluetits cm the other, ornament the inside of the front
That which entopletes the elegance of this bonnet is a broad
guipure, black or white, semordiag to the colour of the ma-
terial, tallies gracefully round the puff.
The list we will mention Wee no less elegant, though of
a warmer material—white terry velvet. Tuo mows flea
and covered by a very rich patterned blonde falling over
the cartsia. 'Open one of the sides of the front, almost at
the edge, was a wide blonde rocks—on the other, a spray
of white willow, the stalk futened by the ruche ; the only
ereament inside the front being a full trimming of white
blood*.
