cHrT.CHAr ON FASHIONS.

Uhderskirts and crinolines, as being
prepared for the fall season, are per
fectly straight aid Fat in front, and sus-
tain fullness at the back by curved
shape, or by five volants, spaced be
tween.
We recommend the special guaranteed
makes of black silks, and black alpacas
and mohairs for fall suits, as they are
sure to be pure in quality, and will give
much better wear, as well as greater
pleasure in the wearing.
Irish poplins are TO be very fashiona-
bic this season.
Wide bonnet strings. rich and plain,
are adopted by the Empress, and
ruled in for the fall and winter
styles.
The new fall and winter bonnet is Of
the gypsy shape, but somewhat larger
than those worn this summer.
American silks have obtained fatter-
ing recognition abroad.
Hats Of very rich plush, in high
colors, trimmed with velvet of darker
shade, are to be very fashionably during
the coming season.
Grebe is to be fashionable for trim
ming, and especially for trimming cloth
and velvet suits.
Bonnets for September.-One of the
peculiarities of the New York lady is
her bonnet, or her hat, as the case may
be. She never wears one out Of season I;
she will not put on her velvet until No
vember, nor her spring straw till Easter.
Her hats, for ordinary and promenade
wear, are the freshest and prettest to be
found anywhere; and her dress bon
nets strictly reserved for the proper oc-
casions
This sense Of fitness extends itself TO
other portions of the attire, and rem
ders the New York lady conspicuous
anywhere for taste and beauty in
dress.
The early part of September is usu,
ally but an extension OF the heated term
in August, and, therefore, until the
18th, summer hats and bonnets "a little
wilted) are retained; but after that ielts
begin to appear-solid straws, mounted
in velvet and gay with feathers, take
the place of the light Neapoltans, fancy
straws and lace.
This is just now what we are coming
to. Flowers and somewhat faded rib
bons will disappear, and in the place
we shall have the premouition in scar
let banks and dark glistening plumes
Of the high colors and warm fabrics
which are the fitting ensigna of ON
rigid winter king
Popular favor, which of late has
been diverted in several different direc
tons so far as bonnets were concerned
seems to have settled back on the pretty
gypsy as the new idol and the presen
claimant for ladies suffrage. There II
little doubt that it will be the proml
nent design of the fall and winter sea
son in straw, trimmed with rich groS
grain ribbon, velvet, China Grape, anC
feathers, for fall, and in satin and vel
vet, trimmed with lace, feathers anc
gross grain ribbons, for winter.
