The EEw YonR FAsHIoNs.-The Metropoli-
tan Record gives this entloiug account Of tho
fall fashions: "The prottiost fashion we have
had for many day is tho universally popular
and universally becoming fashion OF wearing

winter as far as practicable. White cloth cloaks
aud whito plush sacks will on,iyen our promo
nades, while white jackets aud basques will
give July aspect 10 tho frosiest day IN Janu-
AIRY. Fall dresses, Like summtr ones, are made
With overskirts, tight-Gtting baeques or POLO
naise. Capes loo ped up ut tho shoulder arc still
worn. but not 80 much affected lately. SO, also,
are skeleton bnsqucs, but tho cold weather
will neoessitate change in outside garments
soon. Ladies' cloth will be much worn for
suits this winter; the favorite shades will be
brown, olive, invlsble> green, d biue EN-.
press cloth and volours Will find many pur-
ohasers, and waterproof ls becoming almost
indispensable. 1t is too soon to say anything
positive about furs, but il is ated upon good
authority that tho furriers arc coming out with
something original in their line. Brass but
tons will be worn in ladies' cloth dresses. In
expensive dresses haYo sashes OF the same
material. Feathers will be much used this fall
and winter, IN every conceivable form aud way.
Fur hats will be worn this winter. 'Lucisr' is

Scotch paIds is coming In 10 stay. English
water proof should be laid past for a rainy day.
Peaoochs' feathers will be used for trimming.
Frills and founoes are st,ll IN favor"

We are inclined to hunk that tho number NJ
citizens is larger than is made out by the oen-
