Another black silk has the skirt
half covered with narrow folds,
edged with very narrow velvet
ribbon, except the front width,
which is plain. A half fitting
basque, trimmed to match, is worn
Suits in common materials are
made quite plain, or trimmed with
fiounces or ruffies of the same.
Something new for fall wear is a
purple velvet sack, trimmed with
golden color and black beads, with
fringe to match. But this requires
a snowy toilet, and would not look
well with plain style of dress.

PRELIMINARY FASHION NOTES.
The fall and winter bonnets just
imported show an increase in size.
While the prevailing style Of ar
ranging the hai= remains in favor it
will be rather difficult to wear a
larger bonnet with comfort. En-
tire suits of velveteen will be all
the rage next winter, and already
fashionable dressmakers have many
orders for these elegant street cos
tunes. Foulard silks, Scotch plaids,
and colored black silk will be en-
regIe for promenade and all outdoor
occasions. Jockey hats will be
more than ever the fashion for
young ladies, and bonnets are like
lp to be discarded, except for full
dress occasions, the opera, the~
alter, concert and church. Long
gauntlet six-buttoned gloves will
be the style, and it is intimated that
very conspicuous colors will be
woman intimation we fain would
discredit. Parasols will be larger
than those of last season, and will
have ornamented handles. Breaks
fast capes for young mar
ried ladies are rapidly gaining
favor, and in this fashion we follow
the English and German matrons.
Shoes will be worn with the lm~
proved hut horrid French heel, and
will lace or button high. The
fashions in cloaks, shawls, sacks,
etc, have not yet been made
known. Deep sailor collars and
large bows will probably continue
in fashion, as they were 80 popular
and universally worn last winter.
Some very pretty specimens of now
French gilt jewelry have recently
been shown to us, which will UNI
doubleday prove very fashionable
among the metropolitan bellies this
season. White satin corded silk
and tulle will be the correct materi"
ais for brides toilettes, but decided
novelties are promised for bride
maids costumes. The exodus OF
the blondes argues we'll that bru~
nettes will be the fashion, and high
colored evening silks are being i'm
ported in anticipation OF this
pleasant change. Ermine in furs
will hold the sway for dress ocS
casions, and muffs are to be made
in the ''balr' shape. Large gold
beads, strung on blue velvet and
worn around the neck, are all the
rage in Paris, and soon will be
here.
