Early Fall Fashions-...Septem Styles
-BOnnets-Dresses.
From the n. Y. Post. 2dl
There is little change in some of the
STYLES for early fall wear, in others the
change is more marked; and the new
modes and STYLE of trimming are decided
" novel. Many of the suits for street
wear at first sight appear to be entirely
new: hut ON closer examination the novel
ty is found to consist principally in the
new and artistic manner of arranging the
trimming. Dresses are now trimmed with
cross.cut folds, corded with satin and edg-
ed with gimp; also satin gimp, pulls,
fiounces or narrow ruffies When only one
fiounce is used, it is placed at the bottom
of the dress, and is about ten inches deep,
headed by gimp, or narrow satin iold.-
The newest style in sleeves Is to have a
high puff at the top, and hall way rs a
wide ruffie that falls in deep point ex-
tending to the hand.
In dress bodices, the suTphce waist is
something new, or rather an old style re-
vived A plain front, which is joined for a
few inches above the belt, has an over
front plated in at the shOulder-seams, and
the belt and the plated fronts crossing
each other from a point below the neck.
Under this surPlice waist chemlsette or
underwaist is worn, composed OF the finest
of linen or muslin, and either Mechiln lace
or Valenciennes. Cluny lace is no longer

richer laces look well until worn out
Sashes suspended from the back of the belt
are no longer fashionable. Ii worn at all,
the ends are caught up on the skirt, form

the belt, both belt and bow being made of
the same material as @e dress.
The s'panneir" style has been slow IN
winning favor, as it was first introduced
last spring. though but little worn. Now
it is decidedly fashionable. and will be ex-
Uensively adopted, and if the fullness is in
moderation will be very becoming toa slen-
der form. Yet when made In the extreme
Of fashion, and worn by short or stout
figure, it is not attractive. The hustle will
also be fashionable and generally adopted,
as 1t will be a necessity if pannier skirt is
worn. Hoop-skirts are to be a trifie larger
at the bottom and about the same size at
the top as now worn, except the addition
of a hustle. Trails are worn shorter than
formerly, but long dresses are made full at
the back, gored at the sides and in front,
and deliberately trimmed with rich, costly
gimp and fringe.
BONNETS.
Bonnets have not increased In size, nor
very materially changed their shape. The
new importations are, if possible, smaller
than those of the early summer The
still reigns supreme, ruling out
all attempts TO make popular the crown
bonnet. The latest style of imported bon
of which are made of velvet
are pulled on the centre, with coronet, or
diadem, in front, adorned with bead coron-
ais, and trimmed with feathers and crystal
lied bugs, with lace strings clasped by a
flower, and long satin ends falling from
this lace to near the bottom of the dress.
A beautiful bonnet, dld Marie Antoinette,
has wreath of green leaves and iHmOrtel-
les across the front, with plume of feath-
ers on one side.
new style of round hat, which viii
make its appearance a week or two later,
has a high crown and long plume. The
new styles are IL the hands of the MILL
ners, and will be brought out at the COM
ing opening.
DRESS MODES.
Yesterday was the opening day of fail
styles at Madame Demorcsts, and there
was an unusual display Of attractive modes.
From among the suits exhibited for Sep
TENDER wear, a few are selected as particu-
laTly attractive. A suit of russell brown
chameleon poplin was trimmed with green
satin gimp Tie skirt has a flOunce ten
inches deep around the bottom, headed by
a narrow band of poplin, edged by green
gimp. There are three rows of these bands
around the skirt, and few inches apart;
Just above the fiounce over this Is a shorter
skirt, plain IN front and at the sides-in
form of a basquine-but quite full at the
back and plated IN at the belt. This over
skirt is short IN front, cut open at the first
seams about One-third OF yard from the
bottom, slopes down to a square corner
lower than the front, and thence so that
the back falls To the trimming on the I'M
der-skirt. A wide band, edged with gimp,
spans this open space. and is fastened to
the side breadths by bow of the same ma
terial The waist is plain and trimmed
with gimp, and a band like that upon the
Oyer-skirt passes from the front to the
sleeve, TO which it is attached by bow.
Belt of the material edged with gimp and
worn with bow at the back and one in
front
Another was of fawn-colored taffeta silk,
with dark purple gimp and fringe.
The skirt is trimmed around the bottom in
sections of the material, edged with gimp,
and with band of the same also edged
with. gimp. Over this is worn ''Polon-
lise." without much fitness, but fitted to
be worn over a hustle. This is in two
parts, the back is brought around the sides
and falls over the front. This is trimmed
with fringe, that passes up the sides. The
front Is shorter, edged with fringe and
caught up at the sides with rosettes, giving
it graceful scollopin front. Berthas pass
over the shoulders, above which is row of
fringe set on to simulate small cape.
A handsome gray chene poplin is trim
med with the new shade ''Sultane." which
is purple shade of red, that trims both
gray and corn-color beautifully, harmonic
ing with both. This suit has a wide
founce around the bottom of the skirt,
headed by a satin fold of Sultane. The
"POlonaise" is short in front. made plain,
and cut in points trimmed with satin
folds. The back is full, d Ia pdnpier, and
over this falls a short plain basque skirt
attached to the belt, to be worn or laid
aside at will. Berthas run from the belt
over the shoulders aud across the back.
The sleeves are plain, with three rows of
satin around the hand.
Something entirely new is the Capeline
overskirt 1t can be made of silk, to be
worn over dress of different material, for
indoor wear. Attached to belt are berth
as, trimmed with narrow rufiie and gimp,
scolloped out ON the shoulder with bow OF

this belt is attached a short skirt, plain in
front and deeper in the center than at the
sides. edged with narrow ruffie set on

gimp Just above the ruffie. Two rows of
gimp are set ON the front to simulate short
