can hardly fail to be clumsy IN conse-
ouence, unless made of a material so
| thin as to lack the requisite warmth.
Besides, we are promised mantles Of
various shapes and styles, and, for reg
ular stand-bys, our adored half-ftting
sacks and paletots are to be left us. 1t
is believed that, If plaids are worn to
any extent for costumes, plaid shRwls
viii come in vogue, especially the
Scotch plaids, matching the design OF
! the dress. Rumor declares that, while
the weather is warm enough, the clan
plaids will be worn over one shoulder,
| secured there by silver thistle, and be
carried under the other arm, falling like
a sash on the skirt. There would seem
to be doubts about this for it is tribe
| too pronounced to take with quiet
tastes. AT any rate, there is assurance
that some flowing garments, cross be-
tween the old Arab mantle and the an
cient mantilla, will be in order, so that
those slender people whom they become
may rejoice in the prospec.
WHAT LITTLE GIRLS SHOULD WEAR.-
/ Little girls are not very ta5tefully dress
ed between the ages of seven and twelve.
There appears to be no distinction be-
/ tween the toilet of grown-up daughter
and that of her youngest sister. Lengths
and sizes alone vary, but the trimmings
are equally overdone. Young girls
! should wear frocks, and not sacques.
| The following are very desirable in this
season: Striped blue and white material,
the skirt bordered with deep frlll cut
on the cross and sewed on with head
ing. Bodice with fan-shaped plated
basque attached to the waistbandI; a
large collar either separate OF. simulated
with the material sewed On with en-
broidery. An afternoon frock should
be little brighter, but almost as plain;
a gray bege in the light shades trimmed
with pink silk three frills round the
skirt, two gray and one pink silk be-
tween a black cashmere jacket trim
med with fancy braid. An evening
froek for the dinner-table, white pique,
over which blue sateen redingote. The
skirt is trimmed with a blue braid, the
blue overdress with white. It is open
| in front no earrings, no bracelets, no
necklaces, but blue velvet ribbon
round the throat, with a medallion or
! loeket.-GaLig1la7li's Messenger.
THE AUTUMN WAIsrs.-Waists are
] likely to meet as many notifications as
any portion of the costume. The chate-
! lRine bodies or corset waists, as they are
called indifferently, will be veiy popu-
| lar for evening robes, as, indeed, they
have been during the summer. They
are excessively trying to every figure +;
only q round but not stout form should
dare to wear one. They need to fit the
person without wrinkle; yet the sim
| plicity of their design forbids any trim
ming, which is always timely to cover
defects In fit. The edge of the waist
where the skirt is sewed Is usually fin
ished by large soft cord and frill of
lace, which produce a charming and
picturesque effect. For a perfectly
natural figure-one, that is, whose orig
inal shape has never been distorted by
corsets or close waists-no bodice is so
becoming as the chatelaine but, more
than any other style, a perfect form is
required to wear it well. The cuirass-
waist promises fairly for the future, and
plated and gathered INCLUDING surplice)
waists will be widely popular. A no.
ticeable tendency exists toward round
waists with belts, but it is to be hoped
that this will be checked in its infancy.
We really cannot spare oVer-skirts, and
polonaises Off we have to-, and basques,
all at once. There can hardly be any
doubt of the prominence of the sleeve
less jackets in autumn and winter ward
robes. While many persons are trifie
weary of them, they are yet so attrae-
tive, becoming and convenient, that
they will not be spared before another
year.-FdShiOa Letter.
PLAIps AND STRIPES The gossips OF
the dry-goods shops declare more posi-
lively than ever that plaids, stripes and
figured goods of all kinds are being re.
vived for the fall market It is a pity
that anything but plain colored and
plain-surfaced stuffs should ever be the
height of fashion, since the introduction
of other fabrics leads the inexperienced
shoppers into every sort of unfortunate
mistakes. Very few persons understand
their own figure, carriage and complexion
, we'll enough to Judge correctly wha
suits them among an infinity of mixed
tints and broken lines, though, so long
as they cling to plain hues, they car
make no radical errors. However, tn,
shop keepers-mayhap they are right
fancy that, even If we are well satisfied
with what we already have, we shall, il
a month or two, demand novelty henc
