sotcs of the Coming French Fashions.

From Paris Correspondence Philadelphia Press.l
But let us turn from such dire and dismal
themes AMI seek refuge in the more frivo-
lols news of the day. Take the subject of
dress for instance. Early in the season as it is
the fashions for the autumn are already under
discussion, and here are one or two authentic
items culled from the floating mass Of chit-chat
and reports, and impaired to me by an unques-
tlOnalle authority "False colors as they are
called that is, dead and mixed hues, will still,
regret to ray be worn to the exclusion of the
natural and brilliant hues of blue and crimson,
and purple The fashionable tints next season
are to be marine blue. bronze green, mouse gray
and new and reddish shade of plum color. Jet
will still be extensively worn in passementerie
aud embroidery, and an effort is to be made
to introduce embroideres and trim

featured III various tints of blue, and red, and

Is to be definitely abandoned as a part of indoor
costume, or Of sik suit, and is only to be worn
IL heavy materials such as velvet and cloth. In
NeNet the polonaises are to be made very long
ana looped slightly at one side, the looping to be
caught up with buckle and bow Of ribbon.
b0nnets are to b Q worn rather larger, and
ITlllmed with profuAon of flowers wreath
placed inside the brim instead of around the
crown Will be the most marked innovation. The
question OF strings or no strings has been left
III abeyance, and probably will be settled later
u the season by the fair workers themselves.
