II would be impossible 70 wear, all thloueh
The winter, the small and almst invisible head
dresses which now go by the name Of bonnets
few of the leading miliners are already making
bonnets on o larger scale. The ENLARGED forms
all describe point on the forehead, while at
the back they are the Lambelle shape, only
heightened.
One fact is certain, which is. that wide ribbon
strings tied under the chin are out OF favor.
Milliners replace them with a benoiton OF
blonde, thickly worked with beads, and with
very narrow strings, which are tied under the
chignon. Many black bonnets are now pre-
paling for autumn wear; they are all pointed
n front a Ia Marie Stuart, and are covered Gith
"A shower of Jet beads. At the side there is
spray OF delicate flowers, so eXquisitely made
tBat 1t is difficult to believe they are artificial
Small Vatican hats are in vogue, and so
coquetish in their effect that they merit a
SPECIAL mention. They have low, fiat crown,
and narrow brim. The crown is trimmed all
round with n thick white tress of black velvet,
and IN order TO take away from its heaviness
small white upright feather is added NJ the
side. Thick piats are also made OF crepe and
OF SILK, but they are not so pretty as the velvet
ones. Benoitons OF flowers and beads are tre-
ouently ADDED to Vatican hats.
Chenille trimmings OF all descriptions will be
very popular IN the coming season. Chenille
embro deTed with beads introduced is a most
appropriate ornament TOR silk dresses. The en-
broidery should always contrast strongly with
the color OF the dress. For example pearl
grey silk dress should be worked with either
cerlse or blue chenille. Ribbon velvet under
cuny-lace is also very stylish trimming for
silk dresses. Where dress mas full trimming
OF clunv lace, the color and cuff should always
match. The shape of collars has materially
altered. Last autumn the straightest, narrow
cit, tiniest collars were sought after; 1t was
impossible to find them too upright or
too small and now there is every proba-
bility of the "Petruccon shape suTer5eding
all others. For very stout figures small collars
are found mos, inappropriate, the larger forms
Will be found lnnnitely more becoming, but for
slightly built frames the smaller collars will
ever remain the favorites. The "Petruccio'
collar is composed of three parts-the collar
itself and the two rcvers. 1t consists Of Cluny
and embroidered muslin insertions, sewn in
alternate rows, and edged with cluny lace. The
insertion is arranged in perpendicular lines for
the revers, and the rows meet in a point at
the back of the collar, from whence they diverge
to the straight lines in front. The collar Is
finished Off round the throat with narrow
cluny edginc, aud is fastened in front with
bow of ribbon velvet,

FASHION GOSSIP.

1t is still much too early in the season for any
Eall styles to appear, but the unusual GOODNESS
Bof the air. constantly reminding one of the APP
preaching autumn days, has already produced
Pamong the leaders of fashions indications OF
various changes from the light, airy styles of
summer. Close-ftting paletots have been so
Hong fashionable, it seems very probable that
&What Is called the sac, or loose shape, Will be
worn during the autumn months, for the sake
Df variety. The "RoXelane" paletot Is slight
variation on the sac and is principally remark
able for its quaint style of trimming. very rich
S"Roxelane" is made of heavy, black poult de
sole, with revers on the 'front.' at the sides, and
on the sleeves; the side revers turn tow ards the
back; the edge of the revers is a plain hem,
+ stitched in double low by sewing-machine;
4they are fastened back with oval let camel. The
collar IS peculiar in shape, as 10 Is arched at
the back, and is simulated with jet fringe. Links
of yulcanite chaius are looped across the back,
land terminate at the right side with long ends
and handsome let tassels. Similar CHAINS are
looped across the front Of the chest, and descend
with double row OF chain stitch round the edge.
The short sack, falling just below the waist
band, viii be very popular for outdoor wear in
the early autumn. 1t may be OF almost any
material but for very stylish costume, it should
be like the dress. We have seen very elegant
promenade toilette OF mauve poplin The skirt
lis gored, and the seams trimmed with white silk
pipings. At the back are two sash ends intended
Ior looping up the skirt Each end is edged with
the piping. The bottom of the short sack is cut
lin batilements, the edge finished to match with
s. |the other trimming mauve tulle Lamballe
|abonnet trimmed with Violets, completes this
Every stylish costume. Another promenade
toilette of the same general style is OF blue silk.
The skirt is trimmed with two rows OF deep
= chenille fringe, OF a darker shade of blue. The
short sack Is oInamented to correspond; the
fringe is laid on to simulate epauiettes and col
lar. straw bonnet, trimmed with blue chenille
and wheat ears; links of straw depend in double
festoons over the oblgnon.
~ The Paris correspondent Of the London Queen
Says:-"The leaders OF fashion in the courC circle
4have all adopted the costume called The Met
ternich.' Sometimes the 'Metternich costume
Is made with the skirt and paletot separate from
each other but more frequently they are cut as
one, and form single garment. A Princesse
dress, cut wide at the back, and buttoned in a
straight line down the 'front.' gives very fan
idea of this style OF costume, only remembering
that at the height of the knee the skirt il
rounded both at the back and front, and termi
mates with a long fringe, which falls over
simulated underskirt OF the same material a.
