FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.

Within the last few days Autumn has
asserted her claims with a loud voice. and
obedient to her demands, show cases are
emptied and filled only to be emptied again
with an alacrity truly surprising. and mos,
encouraging to those interested in ..trade. !,
Our fashionable promenades are perfec,
scenes of enchantment, owing to the man,
hundreds of ladies who frequent them dressed
in the bright and beautiful coIors and iaunt,
dresses of the present day. Surely art car

DRESS GOODS.
In this line there is, of course, little new
in fall goods, and there are very fe~ winter
goods on exhibition yet. The novelties of
the present season are embroidered silks,
grounded in every color known under the
sun, and sprinkled over with rich boquets Of
gorgeous flowers, buds, leaves, tendrils,
wonderful for their Low eliness and perfect
imitation Of nature, and all grown under the
magic of some girls hand. These are held
at 1915 the dress, or Sos per yard, and the
price is not extravagant, if we count the
hopes and fears, the cares and anxieties
wrought into every inch of the glittering
surface. but high FIVE reflect upon the small
amount of duty such gay plumage can per.

Satins retain somewhat Of the favor they
have had for the past few seasons: A bright
shade of cafe au lait, empress blue and
bright emerald green seem to be fayorite
colors. but can only be obtained in the best
quality of satin, and cost from % to $12
per yard. But for evening dresses among
