FASHION NOTES.

Ladies' mantEes this fall seem TO con-
sist chiefly of sleeves.
Whole stuffed birds are being used for
ornaments on round hats.
Ostrich feathers and ChaRtiIly lace
are much used together for trimming
street costumes.
Immense white pearl buttons are now
much used as trimmings for mourning
dresses.
2 Jet daisies wern in the hair are an
Indispensable adjunct TO fashionable
mourning toilette.
The prettiest round hat OF the season
is made on the model of the chapeau OF
a Spanish bull-fghteF.
a tuft OF ostrich feathers, with Il gold
Or silver aigrette, are much worn as Il
head-dress in evening toilet.
For street wear boots of deer OF
cilamois leather, with double soles, are
both fashionable and comfortable.
The Polish Jacket, the dolman, and
the round paletOt are the favorlte styles
of ladies' oVergarments worn this WIN

The proper title of the white Grape
and lace bows worn by young ladheS,
and commonly called .'sacerdotals," Is
the crdUats a55e gatdlst.
Many gentlemen nave pockets made
in the sleeves of their oyercoats, where
in a lady may keep her hand warm
when walking arIn-in-arm with them.
Satin striped empress cloths are also
a novelty. The stripes of those to which
we alluGe are of self-eolor; the body of
the goods is stout, soft and flexible, and
for q cheap, effective dress, we wonder
whether anything could be handsomer.
They have somewhat the appearance
of the Sicilian poplins, and are .varia-
tiens of the general idea in striped fab
RIGS of last season.
A new style of brocade poplins came
out during the week. They are of
Woolen, French manufacture, inter
spersed with boquets of bright or self
shaded flowers, and are peculiarly
striking. They are for polonaises.
Brocade silks in the richests grounds
and texture, besprinkled with the
brightest fiowers-it may be in defense
of the inglorious snabbing to which
"Dolly Warden" was subjected aS her
popularity waned-are among the fab
RIGS placed at our selection. They will
command very widespread favor,
while they are tar too attractive to be
wholly neglected. -
Instead of breakfast sacques for Ia
dies, the furnishing houses are offering
lsailor blouses of navy blue cloth, rot
Lbelted, but gathered by rubber band
| in the hem in the way children blouses
are made. They have large sailor col
lars of white, pale blue, or scarlet cash
mere, and cost from ST to 50.
The scarf upper-skirt. For modern
izine black silk dresses of last year we
commend the new scarf oyer-skirt, as
it is stylish. easily made, and does not
cut I'D the material. 1t is simply fouI
wards of silk trimmed all around with
narrow lace and passementerie. Take
the middle of the scarf and faSten 1t at

middle of the dress skirt just below the
belt; then pass it ar0undt the sides, leav'
I ing the front to form a wrinkled apron,
and tie up the back in long loops. ano
sashes. A band of black velvet, a facing
or simple hem sometimes serves fol
trimming.
The novelty for business suits is theil
short, jaunty, double-breasted coat
generally called the pea-jacket. Thi:
suit is made of dark mixtures, with al
most invisible plaids formed of thread;
of white. The entire suit, coat, vest
and pantaloons is made from the same
piece of cloth, and costs from s75 to SS5
4 The overCoats for such suits is a long
.Isacque of rough cloth, such as Elysiar
land fur beavers.
i There is no change in full dress suits
4 They ,remain of solemn black, with
swalow-tailed coat, lOw-roHed collar
and pantaloons all made from the same
roll Of broaadeloth.
