FALL FASHIONS.

marked CndESto arc W US eAPSSsSu
For instance, some foreign letters speak
of skirts covered with puffs and worr
with basques, which are cut with the
most Quaker like simplicity. Thes,
basques are high on the hips, falling
low in the front and at the hack, and
are entirely undraped. The Gabrielle
and Princes continue to be the tayoritt
forms for house dresses, both for The
morning and evening. while the round
skirt and basque are worn for the street
Over skirts will also be retained fol
outdoor costumes. A new over-skirt
is open in two leaf.shaped fronts, and
a full draped back is caught up with
sash on the left aide.
Polonaises of various self-colored
stuffs will continue TO be worn over
the conventional black skirt. Red
ingotes in black silk have lost none oi
their popularity, but they are usually
worn over rich colored silks. These
redingotes are decorated with velvet
executed in the finest cut jet beads.
Nothing OF the bugle order is permitted,
only a gentle occasional cleaning
lights up the uniformity Of the black
surface.
Camers hair, vigones and allstwilled
and serge stuffs will be worn this fall,
both for polonsises and entire suits.
The favorite colors are new shades OF
the dark purple-blues. greenlsh-grsys,
olive and snuff-colored tints, worn last
season.
Lace and embroidery are still the
most elegant trimmings. Jet and steel
are both freely used to brighten pasSc.
mtrtcrieS and fringes, but only the finest
cut beads are allowed for this purpose.
Black cashmere suits are heavily
embroidered, but the exquisite India
embroidery shows to the best advan-
tage when done in two shades on pale
olive, gray or brown ground. The pat
tern particularly appropriate for this
long, festhery stitch is composed Of
graceful ferns, curious palms. odd
leaves and vines.
Pretty little sleeveless house jackets
are imported, nearly covered with en-
broidery done in colors or in black.
Other imported jackets have the large
hanging hussar sleeves- Outdoor
sacques are nearly close fitting in the
back, aud are quite large in front They
are made OF dark cloths, faced with
black silk, and have coat sleeves. A
new Dolman has loose fronts, With
square mantilla tabs. The back fits
closely, with a plated basque. Water
proofs are made in loose redingotes,
which are belted or LETT hanging, ac-
cordiug to fancy. They form useful
walking suits Tor cool days, and may be
drawn up by buttons in graceful drape-
ry, when it is not desirable that the
over-skirt should be covered. They are
also provided with capes and hoods. to
be used in storms.
The new dress sleeves are quite close
fitting. They are trimmed with or in
imitation o! dress-cuffs. which are left
open at the back when lace under
sleeve is worn. Some Of the coat baped
sleeves have the upper part cut so much
wider than the lower that the elbow
seams disappear entirely, which is
great improvement. Some have little
iullness Of the upper part gathered in at
the elbow, which allows the arms more
freedom than is otherwise possible in a
close sleeve.
Moderate frills for the throat have
taken the place of the immense ruff oil
the summer, which are quite out OF
place now that the hair is 80 decidedly
lowered. Puffs and curls are very much
worn, and chstelaine braids have again
appeared.
The hats and bonnets, we fear, are
to be still high and perched up, but the
precise styles are yet mystery.
A handsome ball costume has low
er skirt OF rich rose.colored silk. The
skirt is trained, and has on the bottom
n broad plated flounce, headed by eev-
en- narrow founces falling over each
other. The upper skirt ls OF white
muslin. 1t ia entirely composed OF
pufiings studded with roses, and the
edge is bordered by q deep white lace.
The skirt is caught up at the sides, and
is fastened at the left side by q bou-
quet Of roses, from which depend two
trailing sprays and a loop and floating
end OF rose -colored ribbon. The op-
posite side is fastened only by rows OF
ribbon. The corssge is OF rose-colored
silk, covered with white muslin. II is
trimmed in the form OF bertha by a
frill OF white lace. headed by puff of
muslin. On the bosom is bouquet OF
roses. and on each shoulder single
rose.
The new sortic de bal is OF blue cash
mere. In the centre Of the back, start
ing from the neck, are three large hol-
low plaits. The sleeves are large and
square shaped on the inner side, but
round away on the outer. The bottom
edges and those OF the sleeves are fn-
ished by white guipure lace, above
which 10 a rich shawl patterned en-
broidery in white silk surmonnted by
narrow scolloped trimming OF white
elk, which 10 continued up the front
edges OF the garment snd around the
neck. The sleeves are lined with white
silk, which appears on the square
shaped inner sides. Just above tie
chest at the right side is placed rich
white silk dgrctt, from which droos
two tassels and three loops Of cord.
These are attached to second and sims
liar Ggra5s on the right shoulder.
From this point :hree other loops
are attached to a third dqrafs placed
near the neck on the plaits already
described, and from which depend two
tassels. This sorie 10 exceedingly
