has been greater variety of styles from which
to choose in outside garments, as well as In
costumes, and bonnets and hats. Dame FASH
ion seems to be saying to her votaries, "My
children, use your taste this season and see
how becomingy you can attire yourselves. l
set but few restrictions on you; for once you
shall please yourselves. You may wear hoops
or 90 without them, you may choose shawls
or cloaks, you may be equally diStingae with
a bonnet or hat, and you may make them
so nearly alike as to puzzle novice as to
which it is that adorns your brain-house.
SUITS.
We quote from Madame DemoTest: "Suits
are more fashionable than ever-they are last
becoming national costume. There is q
universal recognition of the excellence and
adaptabity of such dress for outdoor wear,
and the strong hold it is taking will, we hope
and trust, crit permanent institution.
The new suits for fall and winter wear are
very handsome, and extremely well ADAPTED
to the thicker materials now in vogue.
Velvet is largely used on all sorts of fabrics.
and will probably be the most popular trim
ming of the season. . a.-..-
Capes are still worn with suits, but they are
round, and often made double and triple, with
plain or vandyked edges. Very few are loop
ed up, either at the back or upon the shout
ders. ..D-
A large line of velvets in every variety OF
color and quality may be found at the Cogla
Hassan store, the proprietors of which have
just returned from New York with new and
choicely selected stock, opened to-day and Of
fered at from so cents per yard up. 81 -s Cd
OF FALL OUTSIDE GARMENTS
Madame Demorest says: "Bue and scarlet
flannel sacks for house wear are made in the
plain sack form, simply and preltily trimmed
with two bands of plain flannel of different
widths, one black, the other the color of the
body part, but both notched out upon the
edges, and stitched through the centre with
black silk" "a good article of opera flannel
may be bought of Cogia Hassan for So cents
"a yard.)
The demand for breakfast shawls will be
| large this fall One dollar each is the ruling
price at Cogia Hassans.
The new waterproof cloaks are made with /
sleeves, small round cape or hood, and are
buttoned all the way down the front. The
price for good waterproof at the above store
is S1.OO yard. u ....... ...r,1.. .... ...
'"The black velvet coaks of the coming sea-
son seem inclined again to take the form Of
basquines There is no other style in fact,
so handsome, or so well adapted to velvet,
which does not adapt itself to folds, and is
quickly spoiled if laid in plaits. .s-.a
Velveteen is taking its place among the
useful materials" --------.
(Velveteen Is offering for from rs cts. a
yard and upwards, at 90 Exchange street.)
NEW FALL BoNNETs
There is no change worth noting in the size
of bonnets, and there is no longer any great
distinction between hats and bonnets. Hats,
which were formerly considered NegHge,
demi-toilet, and only fit for country wear, are
now exhibited upon al occasions-are worn
in the evening, for visiting, at receptions, and
upon the promenade, indiscriminately, and
are really more protective, and have more the
appearance Of a covering than bounets them
selves. -as.- st14taE fr slals-ss4E
Feathers will be used largely this season, at
which we rejoice. There is no other orna- Z.
ment as graceful or appropriate for a winter
bonnet"
The largest stock of bonnet frames, hats,
frames, made-bonnet and hats, bonnet-yelvets,
ribbons, flowers, feathers and all the par,
aphernlia ola first class millinery house ever
brought into Portland is BOW opened at Cogia
Hassan's 90 Exchange st. bought in immense
quantities for cash, they viii be sold at prices
that render competition impossible, and offer
an assortment from which to select what will
meet every taste. VI 10 81 CT
The fact that they have now orer t,oo hun
dred different new styles of bonnets and
hats offers an attraction that would insure
rush to their store even were their prices not
known to be from 25 per cent. to Is per cent.
lower than those of any other house in
Maine. 90 ~ -rs 81 e.
