FRENCH AND ENGLISH CALICO SUITS
Beautiful suits for morning, either for
house or street, are made Of the new
dark calicoes. Those with black grounds
frightened by a shell or star of yellow,
or else dark blue with stripes or light
ming struck lines of white, make up
most stylishiy. They have the double
breasted redingote, belted with two
rows of smoked pearl buttons down the
front, and a single skirt with two
Tapped, gathered founces.- Hayper's
Bozar.
NoTEs.-In dress goods, the popular
colors are olive brown, olive green re-
seda and navy blue, the latter decidedly
in the ascendant. The redingote is al
most entirely to be discarded and its
placs taken by the double-brsasted,
tighs-ftting poIonaise. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that dresses are made small
Ter and shorter than previously, there
is no visible reduction In the quantity
of cloth used, for what is saved in one
place is used in some newly introduced
style.
AN EIGHT-HUNDRED DOLLAR Sum-
There is an elegant carriage toilette
from the rooms of Madame Henienaar,
Paris, which is one of the most artistic
costumes on exhibition at Boston. The
demi. train skirt was of silk, one
of the new bluish-gray shades, a
most exquisite color. It is trimmed
with hand embroidery in two shades of
silk and two shades of chenille and
steel beads the work is most finely
and artisticalIy executed, and presents
a rare specimen of the industry and in
genuity of the French modistes. A hat
has been made Ia the establishment of
Jordan, Marsh s. Co., which exactly
matches the suit in color and trimming,
and as the work will not be duplicated,
whoever becomes the fortunate posses
sor will be certain that she cannot be
copied, and that her gown is the only
one of its kind. The price of the whole
suit iz $500.
THE New DRESSES. The difference
in style from last fall is very marked.
The greater length of the tunie or pol
onaise, the plainness Of its cut, the alb
sence of that superabuudant trimming
which has tended to disfigure choice
materials, are, it viii be conceded, great
improvements on the style which have
preceded them. Moreover, the trained
dresses. it must be distinctly under
stood, are for evening or indoor wear.
Street suits should not more. than touch
the ground, and it is still better if they
are allowed to clear it. The gabrielle
stvIe of dress promises TO be the vogue
of the season, with boufaEt arrange
1nent at the back, upheld by small
tournure. The sides remain very fiat,
and the fullness behind is by no means
so exaggerated as formerly. Flowing
sleeves and very open sleeves have dis
appeared all long sleeves are close cut,
and the ruffie at the throat has, in most
cases, given place to the vest, or re-
moved to the skirt, where it frequently
xtends down the entire length, and
gives a dressy effect TO an otherwise
plain garment.
FEArHERs AND ORNAAIENTs.-One
thing seems determined in millinery
matters. Whatever else you have, or
do not have, an ostrich plume or tpi
necessity. There are cunning wings
and breasts, soft to the look and
touch, aigrettes, herons' plumes, will
low plumes, all sorts of plumes,
which you may have; but, if you
desire to be g in style" you must
have as much ostrich as your means and
inclination allow. There are exquisite
flowers of brilliant autumn tints, grace
full wreaths of leaves, so like nature
that clever artists might be jealous OF
the imitation, most tempting vines with
ripened fruit hanging luxuriently from
the slender stems, scarlet berries and
gray messes that would deceive you, If
they could, into fancying them just
gathered. There are roses, too and an
flowers they are the favorite. They
are pale in cast, scarcely more than
tinged with color, as though they had
been touched by an early frost, and
had already begun to fade. There are
ell descriptions Of ornaments IN jet and
steel and mother-of-pearl, more than
an ordinary mind could possibly Temem-
Der. Buckles, bows, feathers, coronets,
rings, chains, nodding bells on delicate
stems, daggers, arrows, fans, aigrettes,
slides, Tnarguerites, anchors and infinite
varieties impossible to chr'sten.
TIE NEw WAYS or WEAREe TIE
HArR.-Parisian ladies retain the high
puffs and braids on top Of the head,
with the back hair unrelieved by plaits
or tresses. but this style is unbeeoming

chatelaine braid down the back OF the
