The uncertainty Of the weather fsvors
the Introduction of fall costumes, and
what Is going 70 be worn in q short time
OegiUs 40 assume a decided character.
Tartan costumes make their appearance
slready, aud even mixed toilets, COM
posed of = SKIRT Of light color and q tunio
of black silB, may be seen occasionally.
Phe latter Arrangement is somewhat ori-
ginai, and appears to show the regret at
having 10 pSrL with summer costumes.
have seen two of these toilets which
appe AIRED to me particularly charming,
and which are very becoming for fine
fall day.
One Of them is composed Of a fancy
skirt of foe peRch-blossom color, orns-
H anted with small dounces, trimmed
S, Ia taffeta IF the sans color. The up.
per skirt OF black taffets was looped up
en- pdniers by pink sash, knotted be-
hinu, and leaving nothing visible Of the
pink skirt but that part which is ornE-
mented with the small 1Junces. The
vast is 8 fichu, fastened in the belt in
front and behind, snd exposing nothing
to view OF tue waist but the tight fittilg
pink sleeves. The esp, of black lace, Is
interspeIsed with peach flowers.
The other costume is composed Of q
lower tatfets ski., with white ground
and msllOw-cOlored stripes, looking quite
spring-nke. Tue upper skirt Of black
latfata, embroidered with black silk, Is
looped up a Ia Louis AF by large black
rUssttes, aud Is eJmpieted by q black
silk waist, likewise embroidered, but
without sleeves. The round hat, of black
Euglish straw, is held up bT 9 long NAL
low colored festher, hanging down on
one side, and en- broidered with mellow
col0red silk. Toe costumes Just des-
cribed are merely temporary; let us
therefore pay some attention to the resI
Costumes of the season. The uasjoIity
VI the fall patterns are simplified mss
much as the upper skirt may as well be
replaced by the crossed bdchelich, which
is Surn good deal. The bdcheLich is
~ wide, takes the shape OF pointed
peleriyte beh nd, ami represents y hood
Illustrated with small knots, while the
front is cut IN shape of crossed fchn,
The wid fl 4ps of ~ lien fall back very
lOw over tue skirt and join again behind
U I'd sr 2 large KNIT, giving the toilet the
APPEARANCE OF . tguIc open il front and
behind, and cut Tt al al the sides. II Is
useless to cay that the piees OF toilet,
Ornamented with fringes and lace, cor
responds 10 cslOC with the skirt. For
this description Of costumes the chamel-
con m&terial-tnat is, the material COM
posed OF two chsngeG5ie shsdes-is gene
rally chosen, or the pekin, with satin
stripes, poplin, or other new fancy mate
rlsl, ghic' make very pretty walking
Costumes.
For dress costumes the preference Is
- -, NnF
with heavy silk there is nothing more
rich, aud E the same time more becom-
inG, than the following model OF that
style, A dark colored cashmere skirt
has large fods all round the upper skirt
of gold brown SILK is embroidered with
velvet RIBBONS Of the same color and with
a fringe. This upper skirt Is held up
Ia CamdrqO by velvet suspenders form
log big rosettes on the shoulders. The
cSSsOc5 is tight-6tting, lined with dark
cOlOred cashmere, ana Ornamented wits
geld brown velvet ribbons. It opens ia
front in facing lined with cashmere the
sleeve has likewise q cashmere facing.
Another pretty model Is that OF violet
cOlored skirt, Ornsmented half way up
with small pipiDgs OF founces. The
plush tunic, with violet cOiOred and
black stripes, is bor8ered with piping of
silk, and help up en- painters by violet
colOred saoh, knotLed behind half way
up the skirt. The skirt OF violet colored
tHffets has tight fitting sleeves, while
the 6GcheLich msntalet of striped plush
lie lined with violet taffeta and orna.
menIed all round with tsffets ribbons
and rich frnges.
AS for the rest, the costumes of Blar-
ritz prescribe the law at present.
The rich Spanish ladies who promenade
along the privileged sea coast will no
d0uut leave us something Of the pietuE-
ssQ1e style OF their costumes. Black
lace is already much adopted
for bachelor, sash, nantilla, etc, and
nov they talk about black silk stockings
with EN- uroidered corners. Let us flnaE
ly mention that the gay eolors bring US
likewise near the Spanish costumes,
which will be worn this winter. In one
word, II anything else counterbalances
the Spanish fashions, 1t is the Scotch
types, which are as picturesque as they
are interesting. There is, indeed, MOTH
ing seen but plated skirts, tsrtsnR and
Large squares.
