FASHIONS FOR NOvEMBER.

From the highest fashion authorities of
New York, as well as from the styles dis
played by our milliners and merchants, we
modes for the approaching month of Mo-
vember:
Ladies who revel in snowy textures and
bright, gorgeous colors, will find them
selves well suited this season in the beauty
fabrics.
The tartans in cloth and poplin exhibited
by Headley 6 Co. show the most brilliant
cOlors, while the rich embroidered and
changeable silks, the self-colored cash.
meres. Saxony cloths and plain Irish pop
lins. display tints which rival every shade
in flower or rainbow.
Out of all these, however, black, lit up
and Illuminated by gold and crimson or
scarlet, in embroidery or trimmings, looms
up with wonderful distinctness and also
with theRreatest distinction. Black velvet
suits, black silk richly embroidered in col
ors, black poplin also embroidered in
brocaded flowers and leaves, and black
cashmere enriched with superb India shawl
patterns, constitute the fabrics par excellence
of the season.
In self colors new bright garnet and
green predominant, and these are the favor
ties in empress and Saxony cloths, in
French merinos aud all wool rep goods.
In silks, everything is chaDgeable, the
rich colors blended closely into the thick
groundwork, and forming ribbed, satiny
surface, which has superb effect.
Winseys and water proof cloth, of which
latter we have now variety, in new colOrs
and mixtures, called English" waterproof,
are reserved mainly for winter walking
suits. for which they are especially adapted.
A Winsey or waterproof suit will stand

injury, and. with the addition of tartan
wrap, is sufficiently warm for the coldest
weather. taa-f
Walking suits of this description are,
however, very fashionably made with a
pelisse, or polonaise, to which stylish lit
tie pelerine cape is attached; and these are
complete with muff of the same material,
trimmed with narrow bands of Astrachan,
and a little boa or collarette for the neck.
The trimmings now constitute the most
important, and often the most expensive
part of the dress but there is, certainly,
less need of them upon the thick and SER
vieeable winter materials than upon the
light textures or fiimsy silks, which b0r-
row all their beauty from the contrast of
color and taste displayed in their decora-
tion.
Knotted silk fringe has taken the place of
lace, to a great extent, in the trimming of
rich silk. satin and poplin dresses. and is
very effective though less rich, and not so
permanently valuable. It is principally
and sash giving sufficient style to the skirt,
especially If the material be costly.
Double dresses or SPompadours' are,
however, very much worn, punched up at
the sides so as to produce a panier, and
these are always trimmed with fringe to
match the waist, and with straps which
divide the fullness; and four longitudinal

and short dresses, and are made very use
full in black silk, for wear in the street, or
with trained skirts of different colors.
For trimming reps, linseys and water
proof cloths; there are heavy ribbed silk
braids, and for more fancy textures, water.
ed ribbons Of different widths and in all
the various shades of color.
For merinos, wool delaines and empress
cloths, there are pretty pointed trimmings,
heavily brOcaded in coiOrs, and ribbed silk
braids of splendid quality and infinite va
riety OF width and coloring, the inch wide
being the most generally used. Alpaca
braid is serviceable and always more or less
employed; but 1t sinks into the cloth, and
is only effective in contrasting color upon
children's clothing.
Gloves for the season are imported in
very high colors. For street wear, there
are sultan reds, marigolds, rich purples,
ciaret browns, mulberry, garnet and other
warm shades. They are ornamented by
eight small gold studs on the back, and
crimped tasseIs, with gilt mountings. Small
movable studs are used also for fastening.
For parties, white gloves for ladies are SUI
perseded by colo red, of faint, but distinct
hue, with two butrons-pearl-grays pale
primrose, or canary.
CHILDREN'S STYLES.
For winter school wear, high dresses of
Scotch check, or plaid, are best and most
useful. They wear clean and last long;
two are sufficient for the entire season;
and then they can be made over for
Younger child If necessary.
A plain Boulevard" skirt is excellent
to wear under them.
Every little girl should be provided with
A waterproof cloak, with round hood,
which she can draw up over her head.
Thev are more necessary than for grown
r,eoDle, as children more frequently catch
