Fashions for scnte.uber

Fashions for September.
The new dress goods have scarcely
made their appearance yet, but most ,oi
the fall silks which have been opened
have either double skirts, forla single
skirt trimmed with two wide feunces.
Three and four hnunces are also worn,
but are not of as new a style as the
former, though to our taste they are
much prettier than the two founcess.-
When the founces have not, woven
borders, they are frequently edged with
pufings of ribbon. or silk of a, pretty
contrasting color with che dress. - 80
The Raphael body is still very pop
uiar, u for more common wear the
corsage cut high to the throat is most
liked e.P Pointed waists are more fash
ionable: than round ones, and the points
on the hips as we'll as at the back and
in front, still continue in favor.
Sleeves are in endless variety, only
they must not have the effect Of TT
EtiBg too closely arm, fuliinc of
some kind from ust below the shout
der down, is necessary, for the present

u'Trimmings'in ehequered andatartan
patterns are at present much in favor
with the Partisan ladies. In dresses
with side trimming, those trimmings
are formed of some material different
from the dress, and in q chequered
pattern. Double skirts are bordered

one, OF two bonnets have been made
with the crown composed of chequered

Avery pretty and simple style of
Canezon is made of plain, clear muslin,
in the following style: EyS+Roundthe edge,
up the front, and round the throat, there
is a putting with running of colored rib
beps. The whole is finished byifa
pldited frill of muslin in the hem of
which there IS a running of ribbon
Green and lilac are the favorite colors
for trimming these muslin canezous,
sleeves, &c. Sometimes both colors are
ropBined with admirable effect An
other very elegant canezou, suited to
evening dress is made of embroidered
tuHe. 1t has rounded ends in front,
crossed, the one over the other. 1t is
low in the neck and is edged all around
with very fine guipure beneath which
is ran ascolored ribbon. This canezou
should be worn with short sleeves of
the same material, made with two puffs
and a frill, trimmed with g%uipure and
ribbon, corresponding with the eanezou.
The effect ofthe fine guipure over blue
or pink ribbon, is exquisitely beautiful
For a palmer style of evening dress,
a canezou and sleeves of precisely the
same pattern may be made of embroid7
cred musli ), with insertion and trim
ming Of sValencienaes lace.
In riding habits there is no material
change of fashion. Several of those re-
Gently made have long basques. The
corsage is high to the throat, and trim
med with rows of brancebourgs of the
same color as the habit. this trimming
also extends down each side of the
basque. The sleeves are rather loose
at the top, and gradually widen towards
the lower end, where they are slit up
a few inches at the under part and fin
ished by a rercrs. The under sleeves
consist Of pufs of white nansauk ~fasten-
ed on bands at the wrist, and oyer the
band may be worn wristfets of black
velvet. IA small, square collar of lawn
or cambric completes tbs. dress. The
riding hat IS usually Of" colored felt or
brown straw, ornamented with a fea-
Ether, and a colored gauze we'd may bel
worn. In Paris the riding hat of the
old form the (chapeau d'homnae) has Of
late occasionally been adopted in cques-
trian costume. s . . |
Bennets are made more in the Marie
Stuart shape than formerly. They are
beginning to fatten on the top, come
forward on the forehead and spread
more at the side. To most faces this
Will be a very becoming fashion. A
beautiful new fall bonnet is made offine
split straw bordered with eherry-colored
ribbon, and ornamented with punches
of black grapes, arranged with an APP
parent negligence which is the very tri-
umph of art. Ha
Mantillas and talmas continue to be
madelqrite large. and covered with
pointed hoods.
