TIE Fall FASHIONS.

To-day is the general grand exposition OF fal
fashions in this city. The leading establishments
have made extensive preparations for the past
week, and on this particular occasion they promise
TO excel the displays OF former seasons. Already
indications OF the styles that will prevail this
winter have been given, but to-day the offical
seal oil Dame Fashion Will be stamped on every
garment. There is little in the line OF absolute
novelty, but much TO be commended in the
prevaience OF true taste. fashion article
nowadays is particularly difficult on account
OF the endless variety and combination OF styles
and materials. Each toilet seems 70 have some
special feature OF interest and individual taste
and adaptablity super rsede the former dictum or
the modste. The present week will be one OF
the most brilliant IN the annals OF fashion. The
summer BIRDS nave winged their way back from
seaside and mountain and are eager Tor fresn
piumape. The modste's art has never been
tested more severely than this fall, ior ladies have
become more iastldious, and Partisan modes.
SIMPLY as such, have lost their power. An Amer
lcaD lady consuts her own taste now Ia all things
appertalning 10 her toilet.

from five to twenty minutes after he is
expected to be down in the street.
He lays tho button exactly on the site of
its predecessor, aud pushes the needle
through one eye, and carefully draws
the thread after, leaving about three
inches OF it sticking up for the leo way.
He says to himself: "Woll, If women
don't have the easiest time ever saw. f"
Then he comes back the other way, and
gets the needle through the cloth we'll
enoagh. and lays himself out to find
the eye, but in spite OF q great deal of
patient jabbing. the needle point per.
sists in bucking against the solid part Of
the button, and finally, when he loses

and that three inches he had left to hold
