FAsHIONS For SEpTEMRER.

From lie FOllet
The fair fashionabes have now all fed from our
cities, and, in acquainting readers with what
| is a la mode we may appropriately commence with
description of ladies' hats, which are worn more
than ever, both in the country md the seaside
and in shapes and colOrs infinitely varied.
The ''HrianOn" hat is very pretty made in white
chip trimmed with a wreath Of acacia roses, with
soft velvet leaves, and tufts of roses fastened by
black velvet bows placed rather forward under the
front This same shape is also made in Panama
straw, and in rice straw; the former is very ele-
giant, ornamented with bouquet of fierd-fowers
placed on the front of the crown, and with long
maize ribbon strings and bouquets of flowers inside
the tront-the latter simply trimmed with a wreath
OF MauVe towers, and strings OF mauve and black
velvet.
The most elegant rding-hat now worn is the
"Milanas," in chip. 1t is very much turned up at
the sides, bound with white tafTetas, and ornamen-
ted by long, white feather, spotted with black,
hanging quite on the shoulder.
Brown straw hats generally bound with black
velvet, and trimmed with tufts of coz feathers, or
with long black or brown feather, reaching the
shoulder
Drab straws are pretty trimmed with a willow
plume, drab spotted with black
The same style of feather in white or green is
worn on white straw hats. Pheasant feathers are
also frequently adopted.
Among the prettiest hats we have seen this sea-
were two of white and black mixed straw,
trimmed with narrow black velvet and white cog
feathers.
Straw bonnets will shortly cease to be in vogue
Those made of Grape and trimmed with velvet are
exceedingly stylish.
White chip and Panama plat bonncts are still
worn; these are mostly trimmed with rich ribbon,
black or dark coors, embroidered in POmpadOur
bouquets, field flowers, or saue feathers.
For evening cOiluTes Ceres wredths in great
favor. Those formed of field flowers and wheat
ears are generally becoming, and form pleasant
contrast with white tarlatan dress.
We have seen a charming head-dress, composed
of china-asters and gold wheat-cars; in frontit
formed a small diadem, and passing under the hair
joined large bouquet Of similar flowers, which en-
tlrelv covered the back OF the head. NreathS OF
black and green grapes, with gold skeleton leaves
are exceedingly elegant, as well as those made with
leaves of colored Grape, vened with gold or silver
Lace is still much used in cotues, and will ever be
in request on account CT its being so generally be
coming.
Ribbons are used in trimming every part of the
toilette from the slipper to the coitlure. A very
narrow ribbon is often placed on the edge of the
hem in tiounces of thin material. This ribbon is
sometimes quite plain, at others it is edged with
black lace, white guipure or blond.
On very pretty laurel green dress lately made
in one of our first houses seven hOurces, each
dyed with 1uted ribbon of the color as the
dress.
A handsome, yet quiet looking walking dress, we
have noticed and admired, OF light brown tafe-
tas antique, with a single ski set in very large
plaits Plain high body, ornamented on the front
with brandebourgs, and fastened with buttons of
silk and velvet of the color the dress. Small
bishop sleeves, with wristbands and epaulettes,
trimmed to match the body. With this dress
worn beautiful black ChantillY lace shawl, and
white Clipped bonnet, simply trimmed with
b Dad maize ribbon straight across. with long
strings; small but rich Chanty fall being the
only other ornament.
Another less rich but gayer toilette of taffe-
tas, of light drab shade, with pattern of bright
colored bouquets of flowers This was made with
two skirts, each Ornamented with huted purple
ribbon. The body was cut square, and open in
front; the sleeves open and rather short. A
Pompadour mantle of white muslin, trimmed with
bouillonnes lined with purple ribbon, with a s:ai
hood, was thrown over this dress. The bonnet was
rice straw, edged with purple velvet and trimmed
tn bouquets of flowers and fruit. The fall was
| blonde, figured with small purple flowers.
The most fashionable ball dresses at the watering
places composed of tarlatan trimmed with
gauffered AOunces.

THE Work on THE SAULr CANAL.-The Detroit
Tribune says the repairs this canal are going
forward rapidly, and all that can be done till win
ter sets in will be finished the present week. The
long wall and embankment on the river side is com
| pleted and the space between it and the old
| bank filled in with stone and earth. As soon as
this thoroughly settles it will render anv soaking
through and unsettling from the canal impossible
so that no danger of break need be apprehended.
The stone comprising the wall is taken from the
piles OF rock that were excavated by the contractors
who built the canal and is the redstone of that sec
ton. The wall is very handsomely laid and the
Improvement gives the canal a much more finished
ana workmanlike appearance than it had before
Inc work of putting in the pier and the new lock
If to be done this winter, when the proper excava
tlons will be made and the Job completed The
stone for the lock will all be cut and prepared for
the place designed for each particular block so that
the work of laying up the walls will occupy as little
time as possible. By this arrangement navigation
is not interfered with at all.
