The Fashions Of the Day.
NJ NINE. IA vIcoMrEssE DE REESEvILLE.
PARIS, October 1.-The annual programme
| for autumn and winter novelties has not yet
| been drcreed All Ghat can be positively said
is that long coats and coverings nave trl-
mnphed over short ones, and that no kind OF
Jet ornament is any longer endured. None
whatever Jet is completely dcthroned. How
many blonde and lovely women will regret
This let has no doubt been abused, but
when people understand how to distribute it
with tact and taste, it makes Il very brilliant
| ornament. Now that jet is no longer worn, 1T
is replaced by trimmings without gloss, such
rs satin folds mixed with folds OF SILK or wool,
according TO the elegance Of the garment.
For the autumn opening we have as yet only
the outer garments for the early part of the
season and for promenade in the park. The
most fauciful of all is the .iSpirnnt, in black
cloth, trimmed with astrakan, and with seve-
raj rows of cords on the border and on all the
seams. The ASpirHt costs 30 francs i'll black
cloth, and II francs i'll cclors. $685.. e.-.
y great many cloaks in plain velvet are made
Us Russian tunicS, or pelisse, or phiondtse
shape \ beautiful and very elegant garment
can be had i'll silk velvet, with or without
trimming, for from 100 TO 49, francs.
One of the haudsomcst dresses in an elegant
rousseau, which has uSt been gotten up, is Il
| travelling dress of gray Lyons poplin. 1t is
composed of I; petticoat, trimmed with mar
row 1lounce of fonr inches, gathered as the
old fashioned ones used 10 be, and headed
with three rows Of blue braid, speckled with
little gray flowers. y tiSht-titting p0londfSc
forms the upper skirt. and is held by IN ele
CANT belt, entirely new, trimmed as well as
the UoionliSe, with the anne laces.
Since the suppression of Jet, satin is employed
in most of the trimmings, either III pIplngS or
i'll pllts, or i'll ,louble-f;iced aud ribbed satin
rbauds We also find satin used for the
ground of the riband, embroidered with flow
crs in relief, with palms or with cashmere
patterns.
A great many sashes are made of satin lined
with f,up The sashes have a great run plated
ANA passed through rings OF dull gold, which
separate the tie of the sash from the waist,
leaving the latter exposed. Little chains or
gold support the Gasp of the sash, which Is
trimmed round with little she'll patterns in
satin. ...a.. -... ..,.
Since Jet is dethroncd, gold is going to shine
more than ever.
As for hats, we hardly know what TO say.
Are we really going 10 wear veritabc little
hats, orare We simply 10 preserve the fr"cto"s,
which are so pretty and so becoming?
Madame HersL, who has always protested
against these ridiculous and eccentric head
dresses, is about to give MS hats 10 wear. We
shall find them charming, because they Will
help to make us look younger. All the head
dresses of Madame Herst have this prestige
of grace and elegance. Madame Hersf, lin Civ
ing us bounets with fronts, crowns ana cur
tains, has 10 intention OF making us ugly.
Far from it, What has established her repu-
ness of cut and of ornamcntation, which ;aEes
ten wears at once from the face. A pretty
woman Of forty comes out Of her hands only
| thirty years old.
w, are returning TO founcrS. This ought
| "a be. We only allow one for beginning
hui before long they will reach up to the waist t
| as of old, exactly as they used TO do. Fash
| ions which disappearl come back again after Z
certain time.
| 0The fctus Maria Antoinette, with long ends
| tied behind, are much III vogue; Ihey are
| not ONLY reproduced III white and black gpi.
! 7,uye and III muslin trimmed with yaleucl'
ennes, but they are also made of beaded vel
vet trimmed with rich fringe or lace, for out

wool and OF colorS which are now coming
out, and which are called gailare d'etonne aiid
yttiptlre Orlehtdte.
Of tap1strv quipure, such rs is used for up
holsiery. The bands of Gobelin guipurc are
made 10 alternate with wide strips OF reps OF
velvet.
The capstan r"$se is a sort Of large paletot
serving as an upper skirt, and gathered at the
w,;st by a sash tied behind. This capetdn
which was introduced only few days ago by
visitors 10 the Exposition, bids falr TO be soon
unruraljZad 1t is very ugly, but very conve-
nient. If it is adopted, IL Will be "Aadea lof
winter use. -
This wear has not been fruitful one IN IN
tallireut- or graceful Innovations. The only
hing really TO be remarked IS the appearance
of the pa,,tot- -mUntett and Q! The .Tct" Marie
Antoinette for town wear. These promise 4
