Fashions for October.
From the New Monthly Belle Assembled
The approach of autumn has as yet made bat
little difference in the in door toiletes of the fair
soJoufners at the watering places and tAe seaside,
for Paris is now perfectly deserted-i mean as
residence, though, thanks TO the railroads, ee
gGntes return now and then for the sake of the
opera. But before speak OF the costumes adopt
ed for il, must give ance at things as they are
at present, as well as the changes that are grad
ually taking place.
To begin, then, with the watering places, par
tcusrly Spa, for which at present there is quite
rage. There are two different styles OF dress
adopted for the morning promenade, according as
the weather Is warm or cool. For the frst II Is A
pignoir OF dimity, coul, or pique blanc, trimmed
with deep ilounces, and pardessus OF the same
material, decorated either with Hounces or en-
hroidered festoons, disposed il several rows
large straw hat either of the form described in my
last letter, of the cleaners SHAPE, the brm very
wide, the crown round and very low, is always
adopted, and almost invariably lined with rose
colored tssieta, and decorated with full knot of
ribbon with floating ends on one side, and broad
brides, both TO correspond with the lining.
Ii the morning is cool the dress Is a redngots OF
NankIn or grey coutil; the corssge is made high
and close, the sleeves u three-quarter length over
cambria ones Some Of these dresses have no
trimming; others are decorated, but in a quiet
style. with brandebourgs or fancy silk buttons to
correspond; or else an embroidery in brading, al
ways OF darker ade than the color of the dress
The chapeau may be large straw hat; but il Is
more generally one Of paiile chine in black yellow,
or green; the trimming is generally composed of n
mixture OF ribbon Ut one of the colors-l mean
that which is in the chapeau with black velvet.
There are neither flowers nor feathers; but the
exterior n very full trimmed with a mixture OF
ribbon and velvet; The interior is decor ited with
velvet only. A black talieta mamie, bordered with
velvet cut IN deep sharp dents, generally completes
one OF these toilettes; but sometimes casaque a

HABITS are composed OF deep blue, pain brule, and
vert antique cloth; the corssgc is very long, and
forms point lilte rounded before and behind,

widen IN the funnel shape as they descend about a
hreequarter length, displaying the rich emhrode-

The sleeves are half length, with very deep cults

lace or embroidered Gamble, cores undng with
the cbemisette.
During the very hot weather several habits were
composed OF cOuul and Valencia; the coiors were
always grey, felt, and ecrI. AT present these hl-

Pardessus for public promenade dress are either
those OF summer or autumn, according as the day

The few aufumnal chapeaux that have yet APP
peared, are still very open in the bnms, but close
upon the cheeks the trimmings begin TO assume
en- antumnal character; rich ribbons IN full colers,
colored velvet, and autumnal flowers, particularly
dahhas, are employed to decorate Italian and fancy
