New Patterns. .a---.,l.--r-Io
The beginning of this season presents
quite numerous changes In the modes O
uresses,r basQnes, talmas, ETC., as we'll as o.
bonnets, already described; but many so
theisfeatures of the spring aad summer
styles are retained. There are to be'mort
variations In trimmings than in shapes
Gored skirts are still Dtbe prevailing style,
butthey are more elaborately trimmed than
heretofore In rich material. i.
To-day Nine. DemOrest's exhibition oi
patterns for the fall of almost all varieties
of ladies' dress, took place. On no pre-
vious occasion have there been so many
attractive styles. The peplum, or pointed
basque, which is very pretty, is made short
and pointed at the back, open at the sides,
and is pointed in front. The back is close
Z lifting, and the front loose. A belt is worn.
( The basque is trimmed with passementerie
and jet ornaments, and may be without
sleeves, but later in the fall sleeves will be
necessary for warmth. In suits there is an
ingenious way of initiating pepluIn bas-
que tor warm weather. 1t is to attach a
basquine to a belt, to be worn over the
skirt. The body of the dress serves a double
/ purpose--a dress for the house and basque
for the street. l f. 81 % -J s i.g.t
Sleeveless sacques for outdoor wear are
quitenew, and are designed particularly for
very young ladies. They are loose, of me-
dium length, and the right side of the front
is drawn to The LETT shoulder, where it but
tons, and thence slopes gradually to the
center. 1t has a rather graceful appear
ance. rar- aTrIsysIe
Talmas will be much worn during the
Init n q vvn no fbop haQ QnTfa..c
colderlsaeques will take their place. A new
pattern for talma, either of cloth or vel
vet, is on exhibition. When made of vel
vet and trimmed with fringe aud passe-
menterie, with jet, it is elegant. 1t is cut
in points, one at the back, one at the back
of the arm, and the other in front. .It
A beautiful evening dress is of canary
colored silk, the skirt goring and with small
plalts. Marrow scarlet velvet ribbon, In
diamCnd-shaped squares, with parallel
lines between them, forms part of the trim
ming. Within these lines white Cluny lace
is sOEgiVing a pretty effect. The jacket
is narrow at the sides, square in front, and
just double the width of the sides-the
back being square and One-third deeper
than the front. The coat sleeves are trim
med to match the skirt-the lace being mar
rover.
aoQlGcS VI Silk Is bTlInuDeu
with white satin an inch wide, with very
narrow black velvet running through the
center. One row of this runs around the
bottom, above which three rows are in half
squares, and the entire front breadth is
trimmed to the waist. Each seam is cov-
cred from the belt to the line of the trim
ming, and finished with a small tassel -
The waist and sleeves are trimmed to
match. The buttons have a jet center and
white edge.
A neat and elegant style of trimming a
dress of peblum basque and gOred skirt is
with three rows of velvet, the middle one
of contrasting color, white on light silk,
and the others of the same shaee as the
dress. The velvet extends around the skirt,
and medallions are set on the white, about
two inches apart.
A Gabriel dress of rose-colored silk is
trimmed with black velvet ribbon, in forms
resembling somewhat pyramid. There
are eight ofthese, at equal distances, on the
skirt each finished with three tassels. The
sleeves and waist are trimmed in like man
ner, the sleeve having three small tassels
at the top.
Belts viii be made of the same material
as the dress, and trimmed to match the
dress.
Coat sleeves are almost universally worn,
some quite full at the top, but all small at
the hand. There is, however, great vari-
ETY. of styles. A pretty sleeve Is very full
at the top. and the front is cut in three
pointsAone at The elbow, one above and
the other below it, each being finished with
tassel! Another sleeve is full over the
back of the arm, and the inside is plain.
For evening dress, a. sleeve consisting of
two puffs, with narrow bands at the TOP,
elbow and wrist, is quite pretty. There Isl
a prospect that loose, wide sleeves will be
revived before long. rs
Morning dresses are now made with long
flowing sleeves over a plain coat sleeve.
The seam of the loose sleeve is left open
and fastened with single button at the
hand, aud falls away In long, deep point.
There is new invention for looping
dresses. It consists Of a short chain or SILK
cord, fastened to clasps, which can be at
tached to any part Of the dress, either OUT
side or inside---1f on the outside, the dress
canlbe lowered on entering building al
most instantly, by slipping the dress from
the lower clasp. The skirt can be lOoped
again very easily and quickly on passing
out. The clasps are made id silver, steel,
let and silk cord. ~ q a.,i tf ll9lf I lF
In children's dresses there is no great
chaogezs They are sometimes made with a
double skirt and all are much trimmed.
