The New York Eypress gives the
following interesting notes for, the
ladies:
THE FAIL AND WINTER FASHIONS
are now settled. The styles in Fall
and Winter bonnets, cloaks and dress
materials are decided upon. and
everything is gay and SNOWY The
Post has been around among the
modistes, the milliners. &C., and thus
reports:
BONNETs.
Velvet and satin are the materials
most IN use for Winter bonnets.
Those made of satin have velvet trim
mings, and velvet is trimmed with
satin folds. The bonnets have no
cape, but differ from che style Of last
season in having narrow standing
front and something ola crown. They
have not yet reached the standing
crown, but rumor predicts they will
do SO sometime.
A beautiful opera bonnet is COM
posed of white tulle, pulled over white
velvet; wayy folds Of illusion cross
the front, amid which rests a wreath
of the lilyof the valley. The design
is chaste aud eEective. Felt bonnets
of light gray are pretty. If of the
incest material and tastefully trim
med, and they will be.worn to some
extent The fanchon shapes are still
sought after, and, in truth, are more
becoming to most faces than the
standing front. ( ef
The style Of the evening bonnet
was never. more elegant than now.
One composed of white velvet and
trimmed with points of white satin,
joined at the top of the crown with a
bright ornament, is petty A white
tulle, shirred over the frame, Ia trim
med with transparent leaves and
flowers. u
In round hats there is more than
the usualvariety. They have narrow
brims, low crowns, and are smaller
every way than formerly. A novelty
is the straight side Hungarian crown,
which has many admirers, and some
quite pretty ones Of this style In felt
are exhibited. They are generally
trimmed in velvet. =
DRESS FABRICS IS
There is no falling off in the dis
play of handsome embroidered robes
and elegant silks previously descrih-
ed,and new ipportatious for evening
dress and grand toilettes are con-
stantly arriving. but there Is nothing
peculiarly novel and unique. Pop
Inns are still much worn, and so pop
ular has the name become that half
the material composed Of silk and
worsted are called poplin. Among
the new goods~is Ottoman velour.
composed of silk and worsted, much
warmer than the silk velour, and in
tended for Winter wear The Japan
ese and Mosaic fabrics for the Winter
dress are something new. They can
behad In brown or gray grounds, with
unique figures in brilliant colors.
Large quantities of serge have been
imported, and it makes excellent
dresses for the street.nr indoor wear
in. Winter. and is said TO be very du-
rable, and not ito soil easily. But
there is a kind. of poplin nearly, if
not quite, as warm as serge, which
viii make handsomer dress, has
richer appearance, and acostS but
twenty-five cents more J4r1.
In mourning goods there Is varie
ty of Materials. Bombazine, soft
but not durable material, as it tears
easily, is still much used In full
mourning, but II is gradually giving
away to q new style of cloth called
imperial serge. This is a fin" fabric,
but wears we'll, and when trimmed
with Grape. appears exceedingly well.
NODES.
A pretty sleeveless jacket is desira-
BILE. 1t is fitted closely at the back,
extending slightly below the waist,
and slOping up, is quite short at the
| sides, from which it Fouads up to the
| throat, where it joins with brooch.
1t is tastefully trimmed with rich,
narrow velvet.
There is nothing decidedly new In
the manner of making morning robes
or children's dresses. A pretty dress
for boy three or four years old has
| the skirt plated and strips of bright
plaid of contrasting colors from that
of the dress running in the centre of
each plat the length of the skirt.

loose ones, except for full dress occa-

in vogue. For dress'the skirt is often
made double, the under one plain and
the upper one deliberately trimmed.
