The Fall Fashions.
MATERIALS FOR SUITS.

Cloth is coming more and more into fa-
vor for winter suits, and, il of good quail
ity, there is nothing that is half so salts
factory.
A light all-wool ribbed ladies' cloth is
among the new and admired fabrics Of the
season, and is especially adapted for SER
viceable suits; it is s2 per yard.
English waterproof cloth achieved n
high degree of popularity last season, and
the favor accorded TO IL will undoubtedly
be increased this season. It is so smooth,
so durable, 80 light, and 30 warm, that
ladies generally accord il a decided prefer
ence over American waterproof, which
soon loses its color. and Is altogether
rougher and coarser in appearance. The
price Of English waterproof is somewhat
higher, (t is very scarce just now, and we
cannot tell the precise cost but we pre-
sumo il will not be in advance of last sea-
son 1.-TWO dollars per yard, yard and a half
in width) and the difference is more than
made up in quality.
The 'Janns" cord or English rep can
now be bought Tot 81, % per yard, empress
cloths for seventy.iive cents, Rlpacas OFF
very nice quality for fifty cents, very good
black silk for SO. Sitins for trimming
from SO 60 So, and vclvets from SO TO s12.
Velveteen Is taking its place among the
useful materials, and is especially employed
for childrcn's outside garments.
But the high style for the 'girl Of
tho period" this Winter will be the gayest

velvet.
'HooPED SKIRTS"
Crinoline IL not dead yet. II seems des-
tined to live forever-at least 10 long as
skirts are worn. A few ''girls of the
period" discontinued IL for n while, but tle
Inconvenience and sickness of the cling
ing skirts in warm weather proved too
much for even their Quixotism, and they
were glad 10 adopt the small hoop that has
obtained so great n vogue.
During the past year seventy-fve inches
has been the standard size for hoped
skirts, and this will probablybe adhered TO
for the coming season; II Is not Mt oil m.
likely, however, that the size for the fol-
lowing Spring will be larger and somewhat
more pronounccd-more in accordance with
the styles as worn in Europe. This would
certainly be be better for trained dresses.
SHAWL MANrLEs.
These mantles are elegant, made either
Of silk or poplin, to match the dresses, with
which they are intended TO be worn; or, of
scarlet cashmere; or, rs the season adj

TRIMMINGS.
Flat trimmings promise TO DO very fash
ionable this winter, in the shape of broad
ribbon velvet, heavy braids, cords, gimps
and bindings, but heavy corded braidsprin-
cipally, in addition 10 black velvet, and the
galoons which are so much used for cloth
suits.

dresses-whito grenadine, or white mohair

blnck alpaca dresses with very good ef-
feet; and Roman striped silk or satini is also
used, cut into narrow bias folds,
which alternate with others of the material,
arc employed as headings TO n fringe

These goods, striped on black or some
more striking color, are also cut into reUeTS,
collars, and the broad m~OusgIeiaiqo
cuffs now worn, and form n most effective
TO plain house dresses ofmerino, en-
cloth or cashmere.
