There have been few years in which there
has been greater variety of styles from which
to choose in outside garments, as well as in
costumes, and bonnets and hats. Dame FASH
ion seems to be saying to her votaries, my
children, use your taste this season and see
how becomingly you can attire Yourselves.
set but few restrictions on you; for once you
shall please yourselves. You may wear boops
or go without them, you may choose shawls
or cloaks, you may be equally distingae with
bonnet or hat, and you may make them
so nearly alike as to puzzle novice as to
which it is that adoms your brain-house.
We quote from Madame. iDemorest: "Suits
are more fashionable than ever-they are fast
becoming national costume. There is a
universal recognition of the excellence and
adaptability of such a dress for outdoor wear,
and the strong hold it is taking will, we hope
and trust, render it 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
ed up, either at the back or upon the shoul-
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 anew 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 scarle
flannel sacks for house wear are made in the
plain sack form, simply and prettily trimmed
with two bands of plain flannel of differen
widths, one black, the other the color of The

edges, and stitched through the centre will

The demand for breakfast shawls will b,
large this fall. One dollar each is the ruin,
price at Cogia Hassan's.
The new waterproof cloaks are made witt
sleeves, small round cape or hood, and ar
buttoned all the way down the front. TIL

"rhe black velvet cloaks of the coming sea

so handsome, or so well adapted to velvet
which does not adapt itself to folds, and i
