zCuTrzCHlAT ON FASHION

ana enjoyment Wisn essio' LILO iheio
duction of short dresses has removed
many of the disadvantages our fashion
liable bellies heretofore labored under.
Relieved of the trouble, fatigue and
nastiness of dragging trains through the
streets, they can enjoy the advantages
of outdoor life with almost as much
freedom as the other sex. Besides the
short dresses has brought into use q
class of fabrics warm and durable and
peculiarly adapted to our changeable
and tickle climate. Such goods can be
found on the shelves of Geo. r. Taylor
g. Co., in abundance. Among them are
the serges, the ribbed or waterproof
cloths, and the wooden plaids which are
so deservedly popular. We desire not
to confound the all wool plaids with
plaid poplins, especially poplins OF an
inferior quality. One is very different
from the other, so far as wear and SER
vice are concerned.
A very beautiful new fabric called
|Epiline has just been opened. 1t is
ehangeable, and is in black and gold,
wine and black, blue and black and
black and white. We have not seen so
beautiful goods for long time. :.
The Scotch cloths are in great demand
this season. The high priced goods are
principally for cloakings, and are one
yard and BALI wide.
The Scotch suits are simply, yet very
effectively trimmed with ruching, pink
ed out of black silk, or with fringe con-
tanning the colors of the plaid, and
bows of black ribbon velvet. This is
very effective.
Suits composed of velvet, or silk and
velvet, are trimmed with silk, heavy
oros Qrain, and sometimes with fringe,
knotted silk, or chenille in addition.
Cloth suits are trimmed with fringe
also, but fringe of different kind,
made of fine silk cord, and a crochet
grimp, is used for q heading, which
looks like rich embroidery. Then the
finer cloths and claret color are beauti-
fully trimmed with narrow bands of fur,
and the coarser ribbed and waterproof
cloths with heavy braids, wide or mar
row, but we think the narrow braids
put on in several rows most effective.
A suit of water proof tweed looks re-

rather long basque, and belt only
no sash and no rutfies.
The fashionably worn linen collars,
are straight across the back, with mar
row Valenciennes lace, which stands up
above the edge of the outside garment,
and is continued round the moderately |
deep points, which constitute the collar |
proper in front. These points are al
ways folded over cravat, and in Paris
the collar is not sold without its little |
silk cravat. The cuffs are rounded in a
trife, and edged on the top with mar
row Valeneiennes lace.
Linen is less worn than formerly. |
Sets are now made of an application of
fine needlework to lined cambria, edged |
with pretty, real Valenciennes.
Instead of buying real lace collars,
which are very expensive, and look |
miserably after one or two washings, |
many ladies make much neater ones |
by taking strip of beading" inser-
ton, and edging it on one or both sides |
with real clunny thread or Valenciennes |
lace. Through the insertion narrow
velvet is run, which looks like beading; |
hence the name of beading insertion.
An average of fifty cents each will
makevery pretty little collars in this
way of real lace, which is so much nicer |
to wear than an imitation in cotton, be |
it ever so perfect.
Very pretty wooden sacks, shirts and |
overalls for children have just been re-
ceived. They are very comfortable for |
the little ones, and will be vastly popu-
lar with their mamas.
Most of our milliners have had their
Openings" within week or two.
From the styles displayed we select the |
following as the NEST desirable
The NEST distinguished of the new
styles in fall and winter hats consist Of
the high-crowned black beaver, and
light gray felt hats, mountedwith black |
velvet, and richly ornamented with |
plumes of black ostrich feathers.
A design in black straw, with a high,
oval crown, is called the "Tyrolean,"
and is ornamented with three bands of
black velvet, wide scarf of black rib
bon, knotted on the top, and falling |
over the back of the bat, and large |
rosette of velvet, which supports a
buckle of cut steel, or jet, in trent.
The Spanish hat is in velvet, the
crown high, and round, mounted with
feathers, and trimmed with ribbons and
lace, with with sparkling ornament,
and is as distinguished and romantic in
appearance as the name implies.
4 softer and quieter style is made in
light, creamy felt, richly trimmed with
narrow velvet, and stylishly mounted
with a plume of well-curled ostrich
feathers of the same shade as the velvet.
A charming black velvet casque he'll
met-shaped, has dropping tuft of
white marabou placed over the front,
and long curled white ostrich plume,
extending over the crown, and dropping
at the back. /
A very pretty reception bonnet of
uncut pale lavender velvet is trimmed
with white lace, purple velvet pansies,
and Grape butterfly veined in gold and
purple, with white aigrette springing
out of its transparent body.
A novelty in walls for round hats is a
long gauze streamer, at least half
ward wide, and yard and half long.
1t is attached at the back, and may be
used to cover the face, or passed around
the neck, and brought through in what
is called the "hangnans knot"
In iewelry we find many new and
handsome styles at Hennegen & Co.'S.
Among the novelties are Roman set
in FURNISHED gold and white and black
enamel; an extraordinarily beautiful
garnet set in entruscan gold, having
laid up, over the set an exquisitely
formed leaf, of Is karat gold, colored to
pale green; set in entruscan gold
with garnet and pearl settings and a
magnificent set of cut coral, suitable
for young ladies.
Among other novelties in jewelry are
the new styles of chain bracelets, with
an euameled Grecian border and set
with pearls. To match these bracelets
we have a chain handkerchief holder, q
very beautiful agar. In diamond rings,
ear. drops and pins the claw and gallery
settings prevail, but in new devices and
shapes. They are finely enameled.
The prevailing fashion seems to run to
sets forming Maltese cross. In watches
every style in gold can be found. This
bouse has watches for ladies from the
