Suits, as we predicted a moath ago,
will be more than ever worn this
season. In fact, short walking
ess-rarely looks well with aa- upper
garment of different eolora Sacks of
all patterns, and all deliberately trim
med, are to be seen ia profusion in
our stores. They are of medium
depth, and nearly ali either scolloped
round the bottom or trimmed with
fringe. One of the newest styles is
the mantilla paletot, which has the |
common sack form at the back, with |
long square tabs in front. Long ends |
of silk or ribbon, trimmed to match |
the sack, are often worn, falling from |
the middle of the back below the |
paletot. We saw very pretty black
beaver sack, trim med with inch-wide |
folds of heavy silk, which were edged |
with satin, and stitched on; another |
with five very narrow folds of satin
stitched on In the centre of the fold
and still another with rich trim ings |
of bead gimp Tight fitting outer
garments seem to be discarded for |
the present. Black is the favorite I
color for cloaks, as it bears trimming
better than any other, and just now
is the most important part
of the garment We saw some ele- |
CANT camels' hair and Paisley shawls
which for carriage and visiting wear
are certainly more suitable than
cloaks, however costly In fact, a
nice shawl is indispensab e to every
well-appointed wardrobe.
We always approach. the subject of
bonnets with delicacy, since they have
become such fair and fragile crea-
lures: Iu6nitessimal in size as they
are, they give the decisive air to a
lady's toilette, and are at once the
most difficult and the most important
part of her attire. The Autumn styles
differ fromethose of the Summer Just
enough to indicate their novelty. The (
Fanchan is still the model; but
the brim is turned up IN coquet-
fish way and the crown is more de-
cided. Most Of the trimming will be
p.aeedTon the front; fer example a
wreath of velvet leaves. the heaviest
part at the top, with sprays falling to
the chin. or bunch Of berries and /
leaves, with lace.G The milliuers' ?
rooms display a very rich assortment
Of trimmings, in ribbons, flowers, and
fea Tiers. A new style of ribbon is
of heavy satin with velvet leaves
Black grounds with bright, Persian
patterns, or polka dots. are also among
those lately imported. Flowers are
almost exclusively Of velvet, and most
have gilt or steel intermixed. Hats
are small aud close, usually ornament
