MILLINERY.
The earliest importations of fall
millinery have arrived. New bon.
nets retain the high front and slop.
ing crown of last season MANY
frames have heavy rolling coronets
In their trimming strange com bina,
tons of color appear, such as reseda
with blue, dark sage green with
pink, and bronze with tea rose. Pale
sky blue is used with dark sapphire
blue and with very dark shades OF
various colors. Turquoise silk will
be used for trimming principally but
bonnets will also be made of it and
trimmed with velvet. Pattern bon.
nets have such quantities of trimming
that the material with which the
frame is covered is almost entirely
concealed. Flowers, feathers, and
jet ornaments appear on each bon
net.
Round hats present a variety of
shapes, some of which are very eccen.
trio. We have mentioned the Paris
ian fancy for broad brimmed sailor
hats worn far back on the head.
This caprice, it is said, will appear
here in the autumn.
PoLoNAIsEs
The effort to Danish polonaises will
fail. These garments are so easily
made, so graceful, so convenient and
comfortable, that ladies will not will
lingly relinquish them. The fancy
for skirts RULED to the waist behind,
and worn with an apron front and
basque, will bring into favor the pol
onaise lately introduced by Worth,
in which the basque and apron are
combined. This garment descends to
the knee in front, is sloped sharply
upwards on the sides, and has mere
ly short basque behind, dispensing
with the long black breadths now
used. A fully ruffled skirt is worn
with this, and is we'll displayed on
the sides and back, making a very
dressy costume.
FELT SKIRTS.
Felt skirts, TO be worn as Balmo-
rals,are improved in shape and color.
They are no longer narrow and bell.
shaped as if moulded over form, but
are made the proper width and shape
by a string down each side and a
drawing string in the waistband.
They are prettlly colored in notified
blue, lavendar, or gray by new pro-
cess that leaves the wrong side pure
white. IUstead of having coarse
snowy borders appliqued or stamped
upon them, they are simply bound
with braid, or else trimmed with
bands or pleatings of velvet.
SILKS.
The best modistes have quit lining
silk skirts, as it makes them very
heavy. They are merely faced with
paper muslin as deep as the trimming,
and on this is an outer facing of GRIN
oline a quarter of yard deep. The
silk is turned up an inch deep on The
facing, and worsted braid is sewed
fatty along the edge instead of being
used as binding. A simple style of
trimming in favor just now for black
silk skirts consists of a straight side
pleated fnger-length deep around
the skirt, while above it are seven
gathered bias ruffles of the same
width. Many skirts are now being
trimmed higher on the sides than on
the back and front, to fill up the
space left when the polonaise is loop.
ed away very high on tAe sides.
Skirts made of silk or wooden are
not lined throughout-the upper
skirts not at ALL nor are the fronts
and sides quite so much gored as
last year. The understands are
gathered full at the back, and slight
ly gathered all round.
Black Velvet Wristlets are coming
in fashion again. They are very pref
ty with white loose -sleeved dresses.
Morocco Belts are very much worn
on the street.
