Fashions Of the Fall.
The coming Of the cool fall weather
and the remarkable change that every
one experiences in health and spirits
makes them feel like making an exter-
ior change in the outward appearance.
The prettiest fashions are inaugurated
at this season, as the trees change the
plain green of their summer dress for
the gay colorings Of their fall attire, so
the fashionable world makes it's changes
also, and comes forth with it's livelier
coloripg and more tasty trimmings.
THE PRlNcEsss PoLoNAIsE.
The princesse polonaise suit is sim.
pie and stylish model for costumes OF
any soft fabric that forms loose drapery,
such as camels hair, cashmere, sstine,
serge, etc. 1t is made in the dark mon
grel tints now in fashion, and trimmed
with rows oi strong Hercules braid or
else bands of black velvet The front
is fitted by single dart, and the back
forms q small jockey basque. The
waist has q thick, firm lining; the
basque is faced with silk, and the skirt
is entirely without lining.
The Dolman suit is usually an inde-
pendent wrap, made Of velvet cloth, or
the softer stuffs, and is worn with any
costume. Itis imported in a variety OF
shapes, of which we give the simplest
and most graceful. A belt is placed un-
derneath to fasten the back down
smoothly; the front hangs loosely like
a sacque. II is q combination of the
circular cape and sacque. The winged
sleeves have openings for the arm twice
as large as an ordinary armhole; con-
sequently the garment is easily put OF
and on.
THE SCARF MANTLE, &C.
An elegant wrap among the latest
importations is composed OF two long
scarfs OF black cashmere that lap across
the front, and form an overskirt and
cape behind. These scarfs are lined
with silk, the upper edge is turned over
on the lower, and both edges are
trimmed with yak insertion and lace
They are then partly sewed together al
one end, and gathered into iullness that
is laid over the tournure; after this
they cross each other op the breast, and
the ends are thrown over the shoulders
and fastened behind in long, loose
graceful drapery. 1t is exceedingly be-
coming to q tall, slender figure.
Psletots are declared to be out fash
ion, vet they are constantly seen on
we'll dressed ladies. Velvet psletots OF
last season are now remodeled by being
slit open halfway up the back and
edged with lace, An old fashioned
mantle OF velvet may be modernized
in the same way.
Pouson's velvet Of jet black hue and
rich heavy pile is chosen Tor wraps and
suits. The three-quarter width cuts to
best advantage.
WOOL GOODS.
The material most generally used for
fall suits is fine, 80 4 quality OF French
cashmere, in double lold, a yard and
three.quarters wide Drap dete, a
thicker quality of cashmere, is only
three -fourths Of yard wide; as many
as twenty-five yards are cold Tor suit,
but when silk is used as trimming
eighteen yards are enough. A novelty
called "Carmelite" cashmere is un
dressed cashmere of the natural gray
tint of the wool, resembling in appear
ance the o'd.'asbioned de beige.
BoNNErs AND HATS.
Bonnets and hats are decidedly but not
greatly larger than those OF the lasf
season. Shaded and tinted leaves, IN
spring and autumn colors; flowers OF the
shade of the bonnet, whether black,
green or brown, and every improbable
tint and SHADE, now blossom on bonnels
and hats, aud though in defiance OF na
lures laws, in fashionable parlsnce are
stylish" and consequently will be pop
ular. We zee also bright, lively, natu-
raj colored flowers.
At q late splendid opening Of Paris
millinery a novelty appeared in ostrich
feathers tipped with camefs hair. The
effect was beautlful-the soft, delicate
fringe of camel's hair terminating the
willow tips OF the long feather that
curled over the crown and drooped to
the shoulder.
A bonnet Of a very delicate shade oi
peacock green velvet and silk, with a
tail, soft crown, surrounded by q rOuleau
of the velvet and silk, was. trimmed
with q single feather oi this description,
and was q marvel Of taste aud elegance.
A black velvet bonnet had rose col
ored feather, fringed with camePs hair,
and face trimmings and brides Of rose
colored gros-grain ribbon.
Bonnet of bropze-brown velvet and
silk had q ecarf OF Brussels net-edged
with lace, short ostrich tips of the color
Of the bonnet, and q spray Of nstural'
colored NOES rosebuds and their foliage
on the left side.
A turban-shaped round hat, OF bottle
green ielt, was trimmed with three silk
puffs around the crown-tuo Of the
shade ofthe felt, and one in the centre
Of much lighter. but a corresponding
shade. Over the crown tell two full
but short ostrich tips OF the respective
shades OF the silk.
