FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.
TFrom lie Follet.l
Various novelties in material have been pre.
pared for the forthcoming season. We notice.
also, a few Of last years goods with new faces,
oy the difference in pattern and general char
acter We may mention, among others, the
poPilne de laine, in large plaids, or spotted
With petits pois; the reps, with wide stripes
downwards--grean and black, or violet and
black, are the most elegant colors for this ma
terial-printed foulards de laine, in dark
grounds, with small lunches of flowers: and a
new material called Turin velvet, perfect inn
ifation Of terry velvet, but composed of silk
and wool. .-.-s-. - ....
These fabrics are made with plain skirts,
but Tery full; and the bodies generally have.
tight sleeves. -. ~.
The corsage a plastron is very elegantly
worn, and is very becoming to some figures.
1t is applicable to almost all materials We
noticed very elegant dress of violet taffetas
antique made In this style. The plastron was
OF black velvet, richly worked with let beads
The sleeve was tight. At the top Of the arm
was full puff, cross barred with black velvet.
In each diamond formed by the trimming was
small jet hanging ornament. The skirt was
entirely without ornament, excepting at the
pockets. One on each side was defined by
black velvet, shaped and trimmed like the
plastron Of the body.
Though moires and Pompadour silks ara
worn, tafetas, antiques and satins seem at
present the favorite wear of toilette habillee.
VI these, the emerald green and the new shade,
worn.
Black moires are very elegant and their eff.
fect depends entirely upon the style, and of
the trimming by which they are accompanied,
For instance, We have seen a black moire with
bouilionee Of apple-green silk, and ruche
Oh oiack G2lpure In the centre. The sleeves
were tight and had two pufs of appIe-green
silk at the top. Between them was placed a
ruche. r
Some dresses are being made with the skirt
perfectly plain in front, the plaits CONNIE ncing
about two inches on either side of the fasten.

shgntiy wadded Some are edged with
quitting of silk Of the same color as ths skirt
with which they are worn; others are trimmed
with ehicoree ruchings, an ornament likely TO
Continue in favor throughout the winter.
Many dresses that We have seen have been
trimmed with pattes Of velvet We noticed
silk dress, couleur Havanne, which had email
pattes of black velvet, edged with narrow gui-
pure, placed down each seam in the skirt, and
three rows on the body, one on each shoulder
and the other between. s'-
The Macaron and Pierrot buttons are still
worn, and have very nice effect when worn
Win thiek dress, on which more elaborate
style of trimming would be out of place.
Indoor skirts are worn with a slight strain,
especially when made of fsatin. All kinds and
styles OF passementerie are making their an
pearance; some are extremely elegant. The
skirts OF some dresses are made en- pointe, and
embroidered en- soutacho, commencing yery
WIDE at the hem, and gradually diminishing
towards the waist
For evening dresses, light materials are

Illusion, Grape, &C.; the bouiIIonnees, or mar,

For married ladies, 50 simple style of
dress Is, OF course, not necessary Lace takes
the place of tulle, and jewels that of flowers,
Lace nounces should have under-iounces of
taIlatane, or they are apt to hang too heavily.
The paletot and the burnous are reproduced
With, very slight variations. They are made
OF velvet, cloth, tafetas antique. &c They
are often trimmed with a new STYLE of lace
which has made its appearance, and is called
llama lace, and with macaron buttons Pas.
