PLATDs AND STRIPES. 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 what
suits them among an infinity of mixed
tints and broken lines, though, so long
as they cling to plain hues, they can
make no radical errors. However, the
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 hence
the return, after long RELOCATION to the
shades, of plaids, stripes and figures.
As type of plaided suits destined for
morning walks, is one of soft blue and
! green Scotch plaid and a plain, dark
shade of a green twilled fabric. The
petticoat clears the ground, and is of
the plain goods. Around the bottom is
a ten.inch straight founce of the plaid,
laid in two-inch bOx-plaits with spaces,
| trimmed on the edge with an inch wide
bias band of the plaid, piped on both
edges with green, and has a plated
heading above the band lined with
| green. Two other hounces, exactly like
| the first, except two inches narrower,
are placed above which carries the
/ garniture of the skirt quite high. The
| tunlc is sort of half polonaise of the
| plaid deeply Topped in the back, quite
| long and smooth in front, opening over
! deep continental rest of plain green.
! The sleeves are plain green coat-sleeves,
with cuffs of the plaid. The buttons
are ScOtch-wood, plaided like the Dress
WINTER BoNNETs AT THE PARIS NIL
LINERS. Il have Just come, early In the
| season as it is, from inspecting a large
number of winter bOnnets, prepared for
pattern hats for the ensuing season.
The shapes will remain pretty much as
they were, last spring, though a more
decided attempt is to be made to revive
the old fashioned gypsy shape, so pop
ular some II years ago. For young
| girls and youthful matrons a regular
Z
| turned up at the left side and confined
| with bouquet of roses, will be the
most graceful and bees ming of innova-
tons. ! noticed most particularly, this
morning, a rich emerald green velvet
bonnet, the crown bordered with leaves
\ formed of emerald steel beads, and the
| front filled In with a feather trimming
dotted closely with emerald beads. A
| garnet velvet bonnet had the crown
formed of two large puffs; right in front
were placed three full-blown pink roses,
while over the top of the crown, IN the
division between the two puffs, went
very full branch of heath. The same
model was repeated, but with q natural
ostrich feather trimming in place of the
flowers. A lovely bonnet in chestnut
brown velvet and cafe-au-lait colored
silk was trimmed very simply, with
three large, full-blowD, ready-to-tum-
ble-to-pieces roses In different shades of
tea and crimson, placed Just behind,
over a bow of chestnut-b brown ribbon,
with long ends. A very elegant black
velvet bonnet was trimmed with broad
ribbon, black gros grain on one side,
and pale green satin on the other; this
ribbon was twisted, or rather laid, IN
folds around the crown, terminating be-
hind In two short fringed ends, the
black end being embroidered with a
large leaf in JET. A single jet lily,
without leaves, in front of the crown,
and wreath of green rosebuds Just
showing tinge of red, which filed mp
the brim inside, completed this elegant
bonnet. Wreaths and bandeaux inside
the brim are to be extensively worn.
