Ofchinchillas, beavers, meltons, and pilot
cloths but the latest novelties decidedly are
the Elyslan beavers. They are exceed
ing'y warm, dressy, snowy, and subst an
tial. but what renders them totally differ
ent;from anything we have seen, is the
fact that they are chamsleon. So inge-
nsusly have the French contrived to make
these clothes, that they deserve to be call
ed changeable quite as much as the rich
silk imported for ladies, once more in
style, excepting, of course, the glossy tex
ture which adds 80 mach to the chameleon
effect produced upon these materials when
exposed to the sunlight But they are
changeable nevertheless, and so cunningly
and ineeniously are tie varied colors in
shat what at first Sc. to be Of one solid
color, beautifully shades, and turns from
blue to gold, brown and geld, green and
black, purple aud brown, and many other
eharmingly contrasting colors. These
changeable beavers are certa nly a novelty
and will, therefore be largel y sought for.
Very few surtouts or bangups have yet
made their appearance in Wa shineto al
though they have been much worn in New
York, especially blue and fancy colors.
The neltons have been all the rage for
fall wear, and the meltons now come in so
many different grades that they are quite
we'll suited for winter overcoa Is in this
locality. Nearly ali the fall oyercoats have
been short sa acks, beautifully lined with
silk serge, and faced with the same. A
very short sack, or box coat, manufactured
from heavy Elysian beaver, chiuchilla, or
melton cloth, double-breaste,l, aud faced
with serge, faps on the pockets, velvet
collars, and immense buttons. is particu-
larly worthy Of the name of knobby. 1t
is splenaidly adapted for business or the
promenade, and particularly for skating,
where long coat is sadly in the way.
Thes. short sacks are lined with warm
material, flushed nicely, and altogether
very useful and desirable. We have seen
