Fall and Winter Fashions for La
dies.
Stepping aside from Broadway, where
brilliant shop windows expose at
glance what promises within, we peep
iRto the more exclusive domains, where
find their way ths latest and most re.
chci Gle adornmeuts. The most elegant
French dresses we saw we're not gored,
but very full ia the skirt, aud Joined to
the waist Ia plies Of piaits at the hips,
the front and baci, Of the waist and skirt
being cut ia one piece. In heavy ma
terial, however, such as velvet, cloth aud
very thick silk, gored robes wili soon
be worn relieved at the seams with
quilting, piPag or plating Of some
bright, contrasting color The trim-
ming will commence broad round the
bottom Of the skirt, add will follow Up
each seam as it ascends, being graduated
narrower toward the waist.
Small Hounces, in groups Of three,
will be popular trimming for dresses Of
thinner material. Little change has
occurred in the shape Of the sleeve
they still being finished with a small cap
and cuff, opened or loose at the wrist, as
the wearer may desire. The OOly no
ticeable change is the richness Of the
sleeve trimming, in embroidery Of silk,
worsted or cotton, which is employed as
a finish to other trimming, or is the sole
adornmeut. The small cape Of the sum.
mer is enlarged, and made perfectly
round back and front
The corsage in all except evening"
dresses, is very high ana finished at the
throat with a tiny collar and small bow,
with ends edged with black lace
The "Garibaldi Jacket will assert
itself a favorito with all economical la
dies, as it has the advantage Of being
suitable TO wear with skirts whose asso-
ciate body has become a thing of the
past. 1t is made in red white and blue
flannel, and is gathered full iut0 a hand
at the neck as well as the waist, viii
will make it a redoemiag feature to ma
ny a lean form, while to plump shoul-
ders it will be de.trop. The neck is Ga
ished with a small collar, aad the sleeve
closed into band or left open with a
reversed cuff. About the waist or
across the shoulders, at option Of the
wearer, belongs a scarf one-eighth Of a
yard in width, and about two yards
long, made of a similar material with the
jacket.
Cloaks will, in all cases, reach far
down over the dress skirt; some We saw
will envelop the figure entirely. The
circular, in various notifications, will
prevail The trimmings will be velvet,
IN different widths, heavy box plating
Of same material, and embroidery in
silk or worsted. Madame Jaubert, op.
posite the New York Hotel, has just re-
oeived q style called the "Paletot i'm
perial, which will be suitable for light
cloth.sil or merino 1t is closed at the
throat and neck with embroidered bands
and ono deep frill Of lace.
Brodie exposes two exquisite circulars
one Of black cloth, trimmed with box
plaits Of the same, and another ofzobra
cloth, which, besides its graceful flow
is natural curiosity Of tasteful design
In It's trimming. The most striking
feature is beautiful imitation Of en-
broidery, made by cutting gray cloth il
form Of flowers and sprigs, which, as i
is seen against the dark brown color Of
the cloak has the effect of the richest nee
dle-work. The hood is not so much il
vogue for cloaks aud mantles; as th'
heavy box plaits by which the shoulde
ft is secured, are richly ornamented
and have superseded its use in dress
cloaks, although for travelling and util
ity, they will always be in demand,
In bonnets, the enlarged front is al
acceptable change, but the mass Of
trimming piled up within and above tn
arch is stupendous. Planes whioI
once waved to the breeze ouly upon tn
outer works, and we're considered NJ
company for many-hued exotics, noy
fall gloomily over the brow Of beauty
we're not tho shadow frightened by sau
cy knots Of gay blossoms-all sorts OF
colora mixed up--foF Il seems the "Ted
white aud blue" has reoonciled our eye
10 forbidden contrasts.
