cnrr-CraT ON FASHION

au0pU any VI tHo Huueo BI'oH A-
month, 10 the magazines. In Septem'
Der the Summer and Fall fashions meet
and the result is a conglomeration Of
both.
The styles in Fall bonnets and hats
are the contrary one already out, and
present some novelties.
The scarf veil, conspicuous feature
of the new bonnets, afford an opportu'
nifty for novel and lavish arrangement
of lace-a fact that delights the milliD-
er's heart. For handsome velvet bon
nets de veil is a scarf of black dotted
net, bordered with real thread lace. Ii
is fastened on one side, falls under the
the chin, is caught up at the other side
and mingled with the trimming IN mex
tricable loops aud knots, and is finally
pendant yard long from the back. 1t
is then left hanging, or is drapea over
the bonnet and face according to the
wearer's fancy.
Scarfs of colored gauze or grenadine,
draped in the most capricious manner,
will be greatly worn with round hats
and plain bonnets. On many hats a
feather and this scarf form the entire
trimming. A long and abundant scarf
the full width of the material is per
manently attached to the bonnet in puff
across the top, and sometimes a kind OF
bag is formed at the back for the low
braids of the coiffure, whence the scarf
is carried over the face to be fastened by
a jet pin on the left shoulder or low
down beneath the arm.
Abrupt coronets formed of wreath
of flowers are dispensed with, yet the
design of trimming is still to give the
appearance of height. The front edge
of many bonnets, as we have said, sim
ply frames the face; from thence the
trimming gradually ascends, and then
recedes over the low dropping braids of
the chatelaine couture.
A velvet bonnet has often revers faced
with shirred gros faille of the same
shade. On black velvet bonnets the
the revers facing is of bright color,
usually ruby or green. When the frame
is plainly covered with black velvet a
green satin piping edges the bonnet.
A maroon velvet bonnet, easily imita-
ted-for, though Fanchons are extinct,
ladies may still make their own bonnets
has high pulled centre, with shir-
red frill back and front, disclosing a
satin lining of the same color. A bow
of gros faille ribbon is at the left ear.
Maple leaves of shaded tints rest amid
the folds of the puff. A scarf vail
of dotted net is looped at the back and
pendent. Narrow strings tie under the
chin.
Another, of Lucifer velvet, has stand
ing revers back and front, and bow OF
gros grain in the centre holding tufs OF
feather A black lace streamer from
the right side passes beneath the chin,
is he'd by q bow on the left, from
whence the long scarf vail streams back
ward.
An evening bonnet of sky blue royale,
smooth on the frame, has receding
crown. A half rosette of satin on the
left side holds long Navarro plume OF
curled white ostrich, which crosses the
boonet aud droeps behind.
Few round hats are imported until
later in the season. Those we have seen
are of gray felt and black velvet. Ma
room straw hats are in favor abroad.
The shape is the Versailles and the tall
cavalier hat, with tapering crown and
narrow brim turned up at the sides, and
often behind. The brims are faced with
bright colored velvet or fallie, either
plain or shirred. A long, sweeping
ostrich plume, and a gauze scarf veil
the color of the hat are the trimmings
Wrappings for the autumn and the
cloaks of winter are round garments,
burnouses and casaques. The most dis
tiuguished looking garments are belted
nantes of satin-faced black cashmere,
steel gray cloth and velvet.
The Metternich mantle is handsome
model. 1t is circular shaped, fitted to
the figure by seams on the shoulders
aid back, looped behind and at the sides
by pleats, and held in position, back and
front by albeit. The sides are not belted,
and fail loosely over the arms like
sleeves.
Casaques are still boutdnt behind, the
back drapery being separated by a
broad fiat pleat beginning at the belt
and gradually widening below. The
sleeves are of the sabot shape-a coat
sleeve large at the wrist and gathered
into frill above the hand-or else flow
ing sleeves that fal backward, giving
the casaque the appearance of belted
mantle. Coat sleeves are on palmer
casaquGs.
Cloth burnouses of large plaids will
be wron for extra wraps with Fall suits.
Cashmere shawls and those of palmer
material will be worn draped without
cutting.
Black wraprings of cashmere, cloth
or velvet will be most in favor. Steel
gray cloth, maroon and purple are the
most desirable colors. Fringe will be
the principal trimming-not very deep
fringe, but heavy, with netted heading
and thick, pear-shaped drops.
The cape is open in the back, and cut
in two points; falling low on the basque
beneath. A belt from the cape fastens
the front. A three inch band of faille
pleats, all turned one way, forms the
trimming. Many-looped rosette, without
sash, ends in the back.
FALL STYLES FOR GENTLEMEN.
The changes in the style of garments
for gentlemen's wear is so gradual as to
be almost imperceptible TO ordinary OBJ
servers, and it is only when opportuni-
ties are offered for comparing the style
that is now worn with what was fash.
ienable at some distant period that we
can see how great is the difference in
character.
Milled superfne cloths and fine
dressed beaver cloths of dark olive
shades, will to a certain extent take the
place of the disgona l-ribbed goods that
have been so generally used, and are
much more dressy.
Velvet facings, sometimes brought
forward to the edge of the lappels, vii!
be used somewhat instead of silks, and
give very rich and elegant effect. A
round cord edging is preferred to braid
though pure mohair braids, which are
now made quite equal in appearance tc
silk, and are much more durable, viii.
be used good deal.
