From the November Paris n Fcllst
Il is nov time 10 begin 20 speak definitely
d winter fashions; and coming first under
our nOtice are the materials most In vogue
poult de cole embroidered certainly is one.
They are no longer the same patterns as last
winter, 0It sre nov embroidered IN black
and white Initiating lace, forming sort OF
waved band Oaing over stars, wreaths, OF
bouquets Of flowers OF an kinds. This PAT
TEN may BE- seen on blue, light brown. or
violet, as also upon black bat then eli the
embr idery is white. These dresses need
no trimming.
Although many ladies' have adopted the
fashion Of plain skirts, i must not be sup
posed that trimmed skirts arc not well worn.
Indeed, We have only 10 cal cur readers az
tention % the variety Of very elegant passs-
menterie, to convince them this is By no
means the case. The novelty # the mo
meut consists in placing above the hem
vide band Of passementerie, forming a. 80 q
pattern up each breadth. We have zen
ihis in black sud gold, upon velvet satiB,
and black and silver ppm blue more.
We must still record that gold sad silver
are greatly in favcr Other passsmf utsrie
trimmings are made in a ssries oil rings, or
palm leaves intsrlsced, and put on IN dis
tinct orn 'meuts upon each breadth.
As 10 the plain skirts, they are generally
