SUITS.
We quote from Madame. Demorest: "Suits |
are more fashionable than ever-they are fast
becoming a national costume. There is a
universal recognition Of the excellence ard
adaptability of such dress for outdoor wear,
and the strong hold it is taking will, we hope
and trust, render it a 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.
| 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
dup, either at the back or upon the shout
| ders.
A large line of velvets in every variety of
color and quality may be found at the Cogia
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.
OF FALL OUTSIDE GARMENTS
Madame Demorest says: "Blue and scarlet
flannel sacks for house wear are made in the
plain sack form, simply and prettily 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
yard.)
, The demand for breakfast shawls will be
large this fall. One dollar each is the ruling
, price at Cogia Hassan's.
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
j is S1.O0 yard
"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.
Velveteen is taking its place among the
7 useful materials"

NEW FALL BoNNETs
There is no change worth noting in the size
of bonnets, and there is no longer any grea
: distinction between hats and bonnets. Hats
which were formerly considered Negige
demi-toilet, and only fit for country wear, ar
now exhibited upon all occasions-are WON
in the evening, for visiting, at receptions, ant
E upon the promenade, Unfortunately, ant
are really more protective, and have more til,
appearance of a covering than bonnets them
selves.
Feathers will be used largely this season, a
Il which we rejoice. There is no other orna
: ment as graceful or appropriate for winter

The largest stock of bonnet frames, hats
frames, made-bonnet and hats, bonnet-velvets
ribbons, flowers, feathers and all the par

brought into Portland is now opened at Cogi;
Hassans 90 Exchange st. bought in immens,
r quantities for cash, they will be sold at prices

an assortment from which to select what vii
s meet every taste.
The fact that they have now ouer ttoo hun

e hats offers an attraction that would insure
rush to their store even were their prices no
known to be from 25 per cent. to Is per cent
\ lower than those of any other house il
Maine.
e JEwELRY.
Cooley says that fancy jewels are still
in great favor. This favor is explained
= by the variableness of fashion, which require
J, constant changes. Earrings, which hav'
|. been worn extremely long, are now prepos
terously wide. Lockets and necklaces hav
taken the place of brooches, and chatelaine
T. that of watch chains. An almost endless va
J. riety of sets, lockets and necklaces of ever
= new style has been received this week a
Cogia HaSsan's.

When New England's fair was holding
