For walking costumes we see grea
many cloth dresses, with under skirt ant
paletot to match, trimmed with fine blacl
| silk braidwork patterns.
Cotton velvet of good quality, called vel
veteen or patent velvet, Is also much uSet
for the costume, both in black and colors
especially dark blue and violet, and OF diff
lferent shades of brown ISTISOqOdq
III We have noticed. complete costumes o
cotton velvet, double skirt, and paleto
scalloped out and bound with. strip o
gros-grain silk, above which was placed |
marrow plat of satin, the whole being o
the same color as the velvet.ira ss4, ts.i d,
As double skirts are heavy, it is nov
customary to have but one, and II the ap
pearance of second is desired, to simulate
1t with the trimming.
The new metallic tissues are so called be
cause few threads of gold and silver ART
woven i'm with the wOolen material. There
is just enough to throw glow over the
dress without giving it too glittering an ap
pearance. The handsomest of these metdlli,
tissues are the dark blue or brown witt
gold threads, and the deep crimson Ol
violet with silver ones. ygt} caa3nI ,r,V
Complete walking costumes are made ol
these materials, and, are very simply trim
med with crossway bands of the same
piped with silk or satin, and with large or
namental buttoEs. azs1gds.1i'i ofoI -I0G
The redingote is tight-fitting paletot

as overalls or carriage wraps, or else in

The fashion of wearing paletots of the
same material as the dress, which seems
| likely to prevail through the winter, brings
! with it that of throwing some more ample
! and warmer garment over the toilet. This
/ is especially convenient with pretty walk

sufficient to protect one from the cold in

round the waist a simple bow at the
back, and a small bow at the bottom of each

I waistband passes. through the first ring;
the second and larger ring holds one of the
loops; and through the third, which is
/ placed iii the center, the two sash, ends are
passed, and are arranged to puff out slight

: fancy articles are now commencing to re-
place the third ring with large anchor,
almost as wide as the sash ITSELF and in the
middle of the first ring small anchor is

gold or oxydised silver, with the anchor in
darker silver, also in ebony set in silver

The sash for evening wear had round
