GENERAL 011+ERVATION3 ON FASHION AND DRESS.
TIN: termination of the mourning so late in the month of
September, has resented the autumnal fashions from be.
ing su decided as they in g I are at this season. we
herr done our utmost to ascertain what is likely to be worn
during the ensuing month.

Nothing Las as yet been made for morning dress bat
muslin. We have reason to believe that dinner dress will
consist chiefly of silk: at present, there is nothing novel
either in the form or trimming of indoor dress.
The colours likely to be most in favour are ponces.,
Pomona green, lavender, chestnut, and raspberry red.
