ion seems to be saying to her votaries, "My
children, use your taste this season and see
how becomingly you can attire yourselves. 1
set but few restrictions on you; for once you
shall please yourselves. You may wear hoops
or 90 without them, you may choose shawls
or cloaks, you may be equally distingue with
bonnet or hat, and you may make them
so nearly alike as to puzzle a novice as to
which it is that adorns your braif-house.
SUITS.
We quote from Madame Demorest: "Suits
are more fashionable than ever-they are fast
becoming national costume. There is
universal recognition of the excellence and
"uaptaDiiity OF such dress for outdoor wear,
anu Tue strong hold it is taking will, we hope
anu trust, render it a permanent institution.
Inc new suits Tor fall and winter wear are
very handsome, and extremely well adanted
to the thicker materials now in yocue
Velvet is largely used on all sorts or sohr;os
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
edup, 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 new and
choicely selected stock, opened to-day and Of
fered at from 80 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 55 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
is S1.00 yard.
"rhe black velvet cloaks 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 il laid in plaits.
Velveteen is taking its place among the
useful materials"
(Velveteen is ofierngi for from Is cts
yard and upwards, at 90 Exchange street.)
NEW FALL BoNNETs
There is no change worth noting in the size
of bonnets, and there is no longer any great
distinction between hats and bonnets. Hats,
which were formerly considered Neglige,
demi-toilet, and only fit for country wear, are
now exhibited upon all occasions-are worn
in the evening, for visiting, at receptions, and
upon the promenade, indiscriminately, and
are really more protective, and have more the
appearance of covering than bopnets them
selves.
Feathers will be used largely this season, at
which we rejoice. There is no other orna-
ment as graceful or appropriate for a winter
bonnet"
The largest stock of bonnet frames, hats,
frames, made-bonnet and hats, bonnet-velvets,
ribbons, flowers, feathers and all the par
aphernlia ofa first class millinery house ever
brought into Portland is now opened at Cogia
Hassan's 90 Exchange st. bought in immense
quantities for cash, they will be sold at prices
that render competition impossible, and offer
an assortment from which TO select what will
meet every taste.
The fact that they have now ooer t,oo hun
dred different new styles of bonnets and
hats offers an attraction that would insure
rush to their store even were their prices not
known to be from 25 per cent. to 70 per cent.
lower than those of any other house in
Maine.
JEwELRY.
Cooley says that fancy jewels are still
in great favor. This favor is explained
by the variabeness of fashion, which requires
constant changes. Earrings, which have
been worn extremely long, are now prepos-
terously wide. Lockets and necklaces have
taken the place of brooches, and chatela'nes
that Of watch chains. An almost endless va
riety of sets, lockets and necklaces of every
new style has been received this week at
Cogia Hassan's.
FACETIE.
Blankets will be much used in cold wealth
er-price from S1.75 each to S4OO each'
Umbrellas will be carried when il rains.
Price from so cents each upwards: new
stock just received.
Handkerchief continue to be carried and
towels to be used:
When New England's fair was holding
In our city at the park
There were crowds at Cogia Hassan's
Crowds who'd not be in the dark,
But who knew how low his prices
For the goods that be would sell,
What they were, and what they are too,
Do not Portland papers tell? ..
Call and see this Cogia Hassan
See the new gools in his store,
See the bonnets he can give you,
Nobber styles than e'er before.
"We learn as we are going 10 press that
Cogia has marked down his blankets TO actual
cost for ten days, at the expiration of which
