The Fashions Paris Modes for October

The FASHIONS Paris Modes for October
| lRrom Lo Folst1
Now that the autumn has decidedly made Id
appearance among US, all our thoughts and en-
ergies must bo directed to the study Of the mos
becoming aud appropriate styles Of dresses fo
the season. Notwithstanding the absence from
Paris Of the several leading queens Of fashion
many of the principal houses have been active
ly employed in devising new styles for the ap-
probation Of their customers on their return "a
the capital, or to forward 10 them direct at theil
different chateaux or the most fashionable re-
sorts at this time Of the year. -s,,,s.-s
g In the production to which we referred neu.
tral tints would seem to be more In favor than
they we're last month; but require relieving by
some decided color--suoh as cherry, mauve, OF
tapple green. The narrow cravats worn In.
doors will be found very useful for this purpose
as, though go small, thoy are quite sufficient To
relieve the moHotony. We do not advise the
trimming Of dtess'of one color with another
and moro striking self-color; 10 is only In yery
exceptional cases that this produces an elegant
effect. Black, for instance, may always be
trimmed in this manner, and 4here are some
grays, though very few, which look we'll with o
contrast. -.,.. -e .- .-. -4 --. -
We have recently seen very pretty dress
of two colore, intended for autumn wear. The
effect was 90 very novel and distingue that our
readers may probably wish for a description.
A plain long gored skirt of light stone colored
silk, with high buttoned body and very small
open sleeves. Over this was worn tunic OF
royal blue elk, also gored, reaching down 70
the knee 10 front, but longer behind. A low
body. pointed at the top and bottom, without
sleeves, With q position baaque, completed this
very elegant toilet. This style is likely TO come
into great vogue; but will never be in danger
Of becoming common, as no lady with any pre-
tension to good taste would make it In any but
rich msterials--such as silk, poplin, etc. The
tunic and low body made of black silk would
have very recherche effect, and might be worn
with any colored silk or poplin skin.
The new akirts are made from FIVE and fivs
and half to six and half yards round tho
bottom, and are trimmed with ribbon, braid, or.
naments in point d'Espsgue, or guipure, pasae-
menterie, with or without beads intermixed-
the latter being made in en- immense Variety
| Of styles.
Sometimes sack skirts are trimmsd round
with chenille fringe; but this would probably
appear more suitable for CANALS of piuab In.
deed, for them, 1t is almost Indispensable sa
finish. Chenille fringes, both wooden and silk
is expected 10 he fashionable ss a trimmino
during the winter, and on thick material. has 4
very coed effect. g - '.-''. ''''' :
Plaid, although, perhaps, rather common as
trimming for out of doors garments, ia e1-
eeedingiy fashionable for trimming silk or nom
lin dresses, especially self-colored or black
WOODEN plaids, both for dresses and cloaks, NAV
decidedly be considered Ia mode this season.
The plaid talma, with or without hood, and
trimmed with chenille fringe to match The tar,
tan, is very pretty. Robes and CANALS will also
be made of plaid, plush or velvet
lb 10 yet rather too soon to speak defnitiyelv
about Bantles, but We will Just describe one
novelty prepared in a rst.claHS establishment,
which appeared ton ms In very good taste. Il ID
an immense collet of black velvet worked In
rich bouquetsof of flowers, graduated In size, and
covering the mantle within rather more than a
quarter of yard of the bottom. This space
left is ornamented with ovals of ChantilIy lace,
ma6o expressly for the purpose, and edged with
a wide insertion composed half of lace and half
of pasEementerie.
The talma and caasque, trimmed With guipure
or lace and passemenierie, will be worn. Tai.
mas, camails, and raletots 70 match the dress
es, slightly wadded and lined with silk, will be
used for come little time to come.
Tho Louis XV.v vests, cut after the model of

body, with round bseque-is In such favor at
the present time that Ii is more than probable
many of the warm dresses for the coming sea
son will be nade In the same form. In velvet,
lined with satin, 1t will have very charming
effect; but, Of course, only admissible as on
sat home" dress.
Bodies are atill made with points, or position

Paesementerlo, as we last month prophesie1,
will be the trimming par excellence. The FL
garo epaulette Of paseementerie, terminating
In fringe, 10 very graceful and becoming, and
just now much adopted. G sifhtF1 NEs !
The body veste, or with a Waistcoat, is
more than ever in favor. The waIstcoat is fre-
quently made of white cloth, ,or silk cloth and
WIN be much worn, both IN white and In coIors.
For example, with q cream colored taffotas.
Waistcoat of white kerseymere; or with oho-
colate dress trimmed with violet, q violet waist,
coat. With Havana brown greseilleor ponceau
forms pleasing contrast. We advise, how
ever, when the waiatcoat is colored, that It be
not too bright, as it would produce decidedly q
vulgar effect. rv.
Wide ribbon sashes are sill much patronized;
but are no longer eeen with such great amount
Of trimming as formerly was fashionable For
instance, IL ia not carried up 30 high aa the
waist, but merely round the ends, and to about
elk or eight inches up the sides. Some of the
ribbons made for this purpose are truly splen--
did. 1t must, however, be confessed that il ID
Q very expensive fashion, as it necessitates a
esgh to match each dress, unless lady Ia eco.
.nomical enough to content herself with 0 black
one, trimmed with lace or passemenlefIe, which
10 in very good taste, and looks well with spy
drets,. The ceinture position is made in black
velvet with plaston of white moire antique, on
which Ia placed silver buttons. This produces
very stylish effect. l15
Dresses, when looped up for. out. of-doors
wear, have fewerfestoons than form erly-four
being the fashionable number. One In front,
another at the back, and one on each side.
Colored stockings will be worn this winter
Grey will DO the fsvorite color. Different
ahades of grey and drab will aleo be In good
taste, butno striking color such al scarlet OF
mauve. The latter would look intrinsicalIy
vulgar, though Ii Is not improbable that ch erry
color will be worn during the season.
2 Among the following toilets will be found
some suitable for travelling or country veal, as
we'll as for visiting and Of balls:
One was dress of brown taffetss, trimmed
with two rows ofblack guipure rosettes, placed
at equal distances, but the rosettes of the sec-
ond are placed 60 as to alternate with those
above. The body was made with waistcost,
and merely one row Of rosettes.
