| MILLINERY.
The specimens of fall bonnets that have
reached Richmond have tendency to be
larger than those worn in the summer.
They still continue to have high crowns,
and are frequently of two or even three
| shades, sometimes a harmonious blending of
two colors. Dark blue and ,seal-skin, a deep
brown, with paler shades are among the
| favoTltes. The trimmings are ne longer
placed at the back, but are thrown more to
| the front, and are much more becoming.
The material of which the bonnet is made is
generally dark, TO be in keeping with the
| dark dress goods, though the trimmings are
| nets are much lightened by some delicate
shade, the front being filled with fine valen-
ciennes lace. Jet and also blue steel will be
! much used on. bonnets. There, is marked
| preference for game feathers, sometimes e
wing, jaunty bunches, or birds with long
sweeping plumes.
COLLARS AND GLOVES.
Plain standing linen collars, with the front
| corners rolled, is the fayorite style. Up.
| right plating for the back and plain rolled
fronts, the whole edged with .lke, Is also
| much admired. Cuffs. OF course, always
correspond with the collar. For full dress,
ruffs of some fine lace are preferred. Cola
rettes are still popular. There are many
| more designs. One style consists of lace
mounted on fine piece of wire, standing
off from the neck. Cuffs TO match, with the
lace falling over the hand.
| Two-buttoned gloves are fashionable, as
are also worn the three.buttoned. There is
| q new style of undressed kids for street wear,
but are too aeghgee for full dress. Gloves
should always match as nearly as possible
with the color of the dress.
| One of the greatest novelties is standing
collar formed entirely Of jet strung on wire.
This is rounded away IN front, and the lower
edge trimmed with jet fringe. A lace ruff is
worn inside. Neck trimmings of the mate.
rial of the dress are as popular as ever, but
the plaitings are not as high as formerly.
| Permanent trimmings on waists are not much
used, various accessories in the way Of vests
and fichues taking their place.
| wRAPPlNGs.
In several large dry goods houses Of
| Richmond we have noticed q very pretty
wrapping for the fall in the way Of
cashmere sacks. They are heavily orna.
mented with jet trimmings, and passa.
menteries combined with jet sometimes
steel beads. They have a very glitter.
| ing appearance, and are beautiful by gas.
light. Prices from $50 to S15. Fancy but
tons will be very little used for wrappings,
although they can still be worn on handsome
garments of last season. Sacks are seen made
of some woollen material with embroidery in
shaded wool, makinga very rich appearance
with but little cost; much less, indeed, than
braiding with silk braid. 1t is stated that
the regular, long, old-fashioned cloak will
be revived this winter; a fashion, to say the
least, very comfortable. These cloaks are
long, loose sacks, with capes only in front,
very much like the "Dalmano worn by gen.
tlemen. They are buttoned all the way down
in front, and sometimes behind, by way OF
ornament. There are no sleeves, merely
arm-holes, but the cape is sewed to the
| front, thus falling over the hands. These
| wraps, though not tight fitting, fall closely
to the figure, thus producing slender effect.
| They are sometimes made of figured black
and wadded silk, or of cashmere, and are
often trimmed with fur.
| FOR CHILDREN
there is little or nothing new. For both
sexes the navy-blue sailor suits, with "wde-
awake' hats, continue to be popular.
Striped hose are nearly altogether worn, the
stripes being much larger than formerly.
For small boys, kilt-paited skirts with sacks
| or jackets of various patterns are used, and
also the double.breasted long sack with belt.
Little girls wear their hair more braided
| than last season. Sashes of every hue and
description are very fashionable for children
child is no longer considered "dressed'
