Fashions for November.

We publish the Fashion item from the
November number Of Peterson, especially
for our lady friends:
DINNER DRESS OF BLUE S1LK.-The skirt
is gored with only sufficient fullness to adj
nit of one large box -pleatin the back. One
width of the silk is so arranged as to lap
over the front width, and is cut out in FIVE
places, so as to allow of the white stripes be-
ing lattIeed IN .and,out. These pieces are
edged on each side with fat, white braid,
and have tassels on each end. The edge of
this front width is pointed, and in the mid
die Of each point is one silk button. IN
derneath this skirt is worn Que of black
silk, which is embroidered in white. The
waist is cut with revers, and has underneath
a chemisette made of lace. The sleeve is
coat-shape. The hair is arranged in ths
newest style Ia fact this toilet is entirely
new. designed at great expense by French
artist.
1--WE think this would also be an elegant
evening toilet, particularly for blOndes.)
CARRIAGE Dress OF GRAY SILK, FIGURED
WITH BLUE.-Skrt and waist plain. Span
ish waist of black silk, trimmed with lace
and buttons. White felt hat, trimmed with
velvet and feathers.
Very becoming, except the waist; we
may lack in taste. yet the Spanish waist is
one of the articles of ladies' attire that we
do not particularly admire.)
WALKING Dress OF LEATHER CoLoRED
PoPLIN.-Skirt composed entirely of gored
widths, and made quite short to admit of
being easily looped. The peticoat is of
white alpaca, and is cut out at distances of
six inches to admit Of piece of the color
ed material laid underneath, and is trimmed
all round with three rows of scarlet velvet,
the pieces underneath being edged with
ball fringe. The waist is made like basque
in the back, and rounded in front like the
Spanish jacket. The velvet is laid on fiat,
and extends to the top aud middle of each
scallop. Around this is fringe like that
used on the petticoat. Coat-sleeve.
(Tbis we think at least one of the most
sensible styles extant. A cloak, however,
of Ladies' gray cloth would, we think, be
more tasteful than the basque. besides be-
ing more comfortable.)
The above is the description of the fash
ion plate, hence, it is not essential to have
the identical goods mentioned. -
Skirts which are Topped up, are frequent
ly fastened at every festoon with large dais-
les, initiated in silk, pinked out at the edges.
Front and back are looped up with separate
drawings; the front is drawn up in the us
ual manner, but the back is tied up in two
parts only, so that it falls on the petticoat,
as if it were only the two white ends of the
sash. The style of fastening up the skirt
at the back does not look ungracefu, altho'
it reads so.
Waists are invariably made with either
basques, or else plain and round; sometimes
they are cut with revers, which are rot
suited, however, to all figures.
Jockey Jackets, as they are termed, are
still much made in silk and lace.
Sleeves, for the street are made narrow
and long. House jackets are occasionally
made without any Some new garments
have come out with wide sleeves, but are
not popular.
EVENING DRESSES are so varied that the
best we can do is to give single desorip-
ton The following will be found at once
novel and effective: A white tulle dress
with tunic cut like neanteau de cour over
it, also Of tulle and trimmed with two rows
of small, we'll curled white feathers, and be-
tween the rows with large. white daisies
studded at intervals on the tulle. This dec
Grafton is carried up to the waist; another
tunic, ornamented to correspond is added
in front, and the trimming Of daisies and
feathers, crossing at the sides, looks ex-
tremely we'll. The bodice is peplum of
Oriental silk, of any becoming color, fitting
close at the waist. and falling on the skirt
in two pointed and separated basqaes. each
Terminating with tassel; the peplum takes
the same form in front, only it is some
what shorter.
BoNNETs are being made larger.
A very cunning" dress for a little girl.
is made of colored alpaca. Waist cut with
little basque at the back, and trimmed
with silk cord and buttons. It is cut
square in the neck, and is worn over a
chemisette.
