FASHION FOR THE SEAsoS.-We have
lust received from our wide-awake fashion
correspondent in New York City a few
~seasonsble suggestions with regard TO gen
ilemen's winter wear, which we know
will interest our male readers at least.
We must preface what he has TO say by
the statement that he has unusual facilities
for observation in the entire OF one OF the
most fashionable photograph galleries in
the city. He begins with
HATS.
The latest style of this most useful arti-
Gle is made in various shades of felt, such
as white, pearl, black, &c, with high
peaked crown and rather wide brim.
These are trimmed mostly in velvet. and
decorated with blue, red and black feath-
ers.
An entirely new article OF g~entlemen's
winter wear is know as n Scarf Ward
welle." This is made of various mate
rails, that chosen mostly being some one
of the blue shades of paper or glazed mus
lin; it is worn on both shoulders OF only
over one, scarf or baldric fashion.
For the approaching cold days of mid
winter the iavorite article of overdress
seems to he the ''Doty 0vercoat" (nUt TO
be COMPOUNDED with the dirty overcoat. y
The material most in vogue for this stylish
garment is a brilliant pattern of Brussels
carpet" This coat is cut with a very close
fitting skirt which below the knee,
and combined With the Scarf Ward
welle' makes one Of the most stylish Of
street dresses.
There is hardly anything new in mate
rial or style of gloves. The only peculi
arity we have 10 notice is the wearing Of
the glove fA the hand instead of on it.
This innovation is now affected by all
gentlemen who pretend TO style"
Wepropose shortly 10 furnish You with
some photographs from which you can
have wood cuts made that viii better illus
trate to your readers the wants Of a well
dressed gentleman than pages of written
