Oh IONS.

There is no greet change in the style of
cloaks or dresses for ordinary street wear,
: but dinner and evening dresses were never
richer or more elegant than now. They
are made fuller at the back, with very long
trains. Hs2
In bonnets there is a slight change.
though they are as small as ever, the latest
importations having medium front in the
form of roll. and low crown rounding
from the front instead of straight one
more attractive than the fall styles of bon
nets. AA iii -s

r eorange-colorcd satin, with wreath of gol-
: den wheat. The strings are of orange sat-

For evening bOnneJs the Fanchon shape
has been and will be more worn than any
other. 1t is so generally becoming, and
SO much more tasteful than the raised
q fronts and prominent crowns that it is
likely to continue in favor Among the
styles noticeable for chasteness and ele-
: Qance is white velvet, with satin strings
and fall of narrow lace on the edge, the
only trimming snowy plume. Another
of uncut velvet, the color being beauti-
full shade of golden Bismarck, is trimmed
with folds of the same material, having a
large bow at the back, with long ends. A
ynche of blonde lace, of the same shade as
the velvet, Is set on the edge of the back,
passing over the bow where it is attached
to the bonnet, so that the ends fall from
under it. FG8
