TIE FALL FASHIONS 1t will be grstiiy-
ing for the ladies TO learn than clOaks will
be worn much longer this season that last
winters STYLES foreboded. This Is very
sensible improvement for our climate. I'm
broidery will be great feature on elOaks,
and the rage for all kinds of trimming con
tinues undated Cloaks are now more OF
the loose fitting style, and there is decided
tendency towards the close sleeve. Many OF
the imported cloaks are plain, not pointed
and approach the circular form. At Mad
anne Brodie's, Canal street, We saw pur-
ple blue velvet cloak, called the Maintenon,
with hood falling on the back. and con-
sisting of two pieces tied loosely together
and .fringcd with beads raised trimming
was worked in curious devices on the back
and small coat sleeve and under jacket
plentifully adorned with bead iringes' COM
pleted this very becoming cloak. The lead
ing colors in cloaks this fall are black
brown and purple.
The coquettish Fanehon and other sum
mer varieties Of bounets have given place to
stately and elegant chapeaus, the distinguish
ing feature Of which is the diadem. This is a
very attractive addition to a bonnet, and can
be adapted to any style Of face. The diadem
may be set upright across the front Of
close fitting shape, or Will require shape
rising IN front to admit broad bandeas
which is generally trimmed with sprays oil
rich flowers, or satin. or velvet box plaits
Crowns are quite fiat and broad, and many
of the shapes are much larger than have
been worn for the last two years. Gold il
introduced Trofusely among the ornaments
of the carly fall bonncts, but will scarcely
retain its place very long.
The most beautiful hues Of the fall woods
convolvulus vines, branches OF oak, maple
and rose trees. sprays Of fern and drOOTrng
tassels Of willows, acorns and berries, form
arainbow over some rich shade Of imperial
velvet or SATIN. The reign Of amber has
passed away, and all attempts to introduce
it have failed.
There is very little change in dresses
either as regards shape or material. TIE
new red-brown Bismarck will be probably the
favoritc color this fall The skirts will be
OF course short for the streets, and as long
as trails can be made for visiting and cere-
monious occasions. Brocades will probably
be revived this winter, and some Of the pat
terms will be very pretty and brilliant In
one flower pattern at Arnold Il Constable's
we counted sixteen shades Of color, Irish
and french poplins, plain and embroidered,
imperial serge and crepe Eugenie, are among
the materials for TALL dresses. In black
silks the drdp de Ia RENE is very rich. 1t
| is finished on one side with INVISIBLE cord.
Holland satin also is Displayed for fall
dresses Gabrielles for morning wear are
loose and confined with belt Of same ma
terial. The trimming in many instances
takes the form of sack. Dresses are not
gored as small as they have been. A very
pretty novelty in infants robes is lace
medallion trimming. Jet trimming, satin
folds and plaits and narrow iringes will be
used on dresses.
The application of art in its highest form
to jewelry is very fitting thought of the
chameleon goddess: Some of the latest
styles in 5jOuterie consist of antique beads,
e1quisitely cut in smoked topaz, iIlumIn-
ated with small CLEANS OF diamonds, set IN
gold. as a diadem, earrings and necklace
Some of these are carved as miniature busrs,
with drapery over the chest or dead gold,
yeined with black enamel.
Burnouses in silk and wool have been
revived this fall, and the fur boa will be
very fashionable during the winter. Such
are the novelties that greet the eyes of the
the seaside bellies on their return from the
watering places. month or two later will
produce new developments in the realms of
fashion Y Herald.
