LIE Follot brings us the following latest fashior

LIE Follet brings us the following latest fashion
gossip, which will be of interest to the ladies
'The cold weather we have had lately has been
the signal for the appearance Of thoroughly winter
toiettes so that their form, material and style may
be considered as perfectly decided on. AS tar as
indoor dress is concerned, the materials are much
the same as those worn last month; but the walk
ing costumes have much more wlntry aspect than
they presented even few days ago. Both woollen
and silk reps, serges, cloths, poplins thick silks,
satlns, moires and velvets are much worn.
The relours Anglais-or, as we say, yelveteen-,.
will be much worn, but only In hrst-cass quail
ties. No material is more suitable for short
Dress and perhaps no costume can be prettier
than a short black veveteen skirt over colored
silk peticoat with plated founce. Black velvet
pdtetot, with long hanging sleeves lined with SILK
like the petticoat
No one will, OF course attempt to wear an out
of-door Dress either short long, without small
crinoline. For ballroom wear some Few ladies
have multiplicity OF white founced muslin
pettcoats though in most cases these are only
worn to disguise the very small crinohne which
is worn to support them. With short dresses a
perfectly round crinoline is worn, while tram
skirts require long and trained crinolnes; but In
all cases they are very much diminished In clrcum-
ference, being now worn merely TO support anu
not distend the skirt.
The large open sleeves will be very fashionable
in rich materials, but are considered only suitable
FOR handsome dresses For others, the small coat
sleeve, or even the quite tlgnt one cIoseu Ut Ino
waist will be preferred. sane
The high bodies are made quite plain and fitting
to the figure; some few have basques, but sashes,
of which there is an endless variety, are more IN
favor ut the presenG moment. These sashes nave
generally small button or hook underneath,
which serves to fasten up the SKIRT Tor outdoor
wear. ,
The long skirts are still made with very decid-
ed train, and so gored as to be nearly, If not quite
plain at the top The front Is always quite plain,
the back sometimes put in large gathers, though
this style is hardly suitable for velvets, MORE,
sauns, or poplns, as it is for thinner materials.
Some Of the short skirts touch the ground, others
are little way from it, but no one with the least
pretension to good style wears them SO as to show
the top of the boot. -
Mantles are worn in an endless varity OF forms
and sizes, fitting or loose, with tight or loose
sleeves.
Bonnets are much the same size as those lately
worn, but several new shapes have appeared. 1t
Is as vet too early to speak decidedly as to the
form likely to be preferred. The 'Fanchon"
shape is the most becoming; it has not increased
In size, but generally has fall OF lace or net scarf
over the back, which is brought round and fas-
tened under the chin. This Is considered more
suitable for the winter season than to have the
back hair quite exposed
There is very little variety in the form OF win
ter hats; they of course, do not require the wide
brims necessary in Summer. The bronze hats are
grey straw, with feathers to match, completed by
a bunch OF scarlet berries or holly leaves.
The crossway bands or roWeauC are still In
great favor for trimming dresses, and are made
either in the same material or IN SILK or satln.
Many silk dresses are trimmed with Toutedur OF
being quite sufficient to produce very good effect.
Handsome fringes are also very much worn, and
the temperance Of hounces will trlng broad
laces into fashion again.
