Fashion Hfems.
The world of fashion, SAYS the New
York Herald, was never more generally
stocked with costly varieties of heavy
dress goOds-in many cases old friends,
rechristened, however-than it is during
the present winter Especially is it rich
IN the almost innumerable species of styl-
ish cloaks, shawl patterns, etc., and other
comfortable generic wraps of every posi-
BILE description.
Very bright colors are worn almost un-
iversally. Scarlet was never more popu-
lar. The old time Solferino, under its
newA name of garnet, or 'groseilles," is
equally so.
Plaided goods, of the genuine Scottish
tartan, but of strictly SUI generis species
as well-to wit, in every known and I'M
known combination and tint, crowd every
street shop window in the metropolis, and,
deliberately downed and furbelowed, every
stilish thoroughfare.
Two species of dress goods-the one a
recent invention Of the past decade, and
the other reintrOduction within the same
space of time-hold their own this year,
spite of loud croaking to the contrary
throughout the length and breadth of the
OF the entire United States, in the securi-
ty of firmly established favor. Allusion
is here made to the ever American favor
lite velveteen and alpacas.
No one nowadays pretends to toilet
complete without handsome chalk" suit
of at least one of these truly invaluable
dress goods, The velveteens are now
manufactured, either in the most regal
looking black or in colors of all descrip-
tiOns, the most stylish of which are the
Metternich or emerald green tints, the
luscious dark red wines, or those Of the
true Tyrian or purple dyes.
White velveteens for party occasions
are to limited extent also effected, and
generally with satisfactory results. One
Of the most pronounced successes of hea-
w dress goods, however, of this seasons
importation must be admitted to be the
heavily corded and poplin-like dress goods
known as the Buffalo brand. White al
paca is also made up in heavy black goods
for the street, and being of peculiarly lus
trous finish and close grain it makes a
most admirable dress for the purpose.
Poplins, both the French, English and
regal Irish, together with the species of
handsome goods called French poplinette,
are largely Increasing in favor.
The all wool delaines, which threaten
ed some three years since at their rein
PRODUCTION, after some fifteen years
eclipse, in bright colors, are still very
much made up for misses and children,
or, dark steels and browns, trimmed with
brilliant hues, alternate with the plaid
materials for school and handsome after
noon dresses.
Cloth is made up very extensively into
very costly winter suits this season. In
some instances it is trimmed with fur; in
others with revers and quillings Of the
same Among the plaids, those species
| known as the "Victoria" and ''the scar
let" are the most generally appreciated.
Some very pronounce street suits, OF
elegant appearance, are of richly trimmed
Lyons velvet, with bright overdresses of
as deliberately decorated and brilliant
hued satin overdresses, the sash accom-
| panying which Is of satin, with heavily
| tringed ends.
There is nothing especially new this
season in silks. The richest varieties OF
silks, as well as the most costly species OF
velvet, are, of course, always in fashion
on occasions of ceremony where nothing
else may be worn; but the change cannot
| but be noted of late years that for hand
some house wear and also upon other
rather undress occasions as well, as above
stated, for stylish street wear, silk COS
tunes have for the most part yielded
| e., bo ,,oxr-a. and hlo bStI
tute of poplin Buffalo brand alpacas, reps
and velveteens.
Astrakhan fur and cloth are yet in the
ascendant both for material and trim
mings. The Roman cloak-another nov
elty-has no sleeves. 1t is drawn in al
the back, but falls from the shoulders
1t is considered perfect model of Paris
ian grace. The finest yet arrived from
Europe are not fur trimmed, but II
heavy black velvet, richly trimmed with
real lace.
Bodices in full dress are for the mos
part made open in front either in thu
square or a chale, with revers laid back
and richly trimmed. The chemisette
worn with the mare cut of the SAM
shepe, and usually trimmed with wld
strip of insertion, edged around the bot
tom with a deep border of valencienne
or other lace.
Black velvet bows, and, indeed, blacl
velvet ribbon and cut on the bias super
sede almost every other description
trimming, always excepting the long es
tablished favorite fringe. Basques as
rule are not made absolutely tight-tittlng
As usual the fashion comes in Juror

ated almost Immediately by the good tast
! and sense of the American ladies, VIII
have the good sense to know, and cando
to admit, that the lines of all America
: figures are not precisely with those of tn
Medici Venus.
Bonnets are still very small. Stylis
wedding reception bonnets are very muc
