the other side is as plain as 1t is possi- !
Bile to make it; on other hats q single
long plume sweeps around the front and
right side of the back, and forms the
only trimming. The most conspicuous
novelty of the season is the ecfN CASH
mere lace with which bonnets are
trimmed. This is fine wool lace made
in thread patterns like those OF black
chantiliy, and of the old-time white
thread lace now called Malines. 1t Is
made in Normandy, and is OF that crea-
my whiteness that is SO effective with
dark yelyets, and is used in great profu-
fusion on the bonnet in ruches, quillings
and barbes. The best Partisan milliners
use it both on felt and velvet bonnets,
aud it 10 said it will be used for trim
ming costumes also. The designs are
much finer than those of the yak and
wosl guipures now worn. This creamy
weifte lace seems TO have entirely super
seded black lace, as the latter is not
seen on imported hats.
FASHIONABLE GOODS.
Among the leading dress materials we
learn that "Camzen" and Matelasset
cashmere are exceedingly popular. The
latter is handsome fabric for cool wea-
Jher, and when adorned with velvet gar
niture it forms rich and exceedingly
dressy toilet. The most novel and i'm
portant of the late importations in dress
| fabrics are the matte silks woven with a
baskst-face, and plaided as the Louisine.
They are of Italian manufacture, ana In
\ them the handsomest c0lorS are inter-
woven. For example, in a pattern the
| ground of which was white almost every
color in very narrow lines appeared,
but all subdued by the prevalence OF a
| flur t,in
vances, the matte silks-because thick,
soft and warm-will become exceeding
lily popular in the combinations OF a
plaided and battle-ground material.
| The winter gros-yrains are very soft
and of medium line reps. They are to
be made up in connection with plain and
| figured velvets and with matte silks
In suit goods preference is given to the
pretty a1l,wool basket patterns in rich
Goth colors. Diagonals are also worn.
| but they are less in favor than the bas.
ket or armure styles of arranging the
threads. French cloths are admired by
many ladies--especaliy those who pre-
ler costume that will last through sew
eraI seasons--and these goods are also
seen In all the deep rich shades desir'
able for winter wear. Plaids, woven in
wide diagonal and in clan and fancy
tpatterns, grow in favor fer wraps ano
misses costumes.
They are shown of a handsomer finish
than ever, and swhen TRAINED with bal
fringes OF mingled colors, are very ele
giant. Twllled iabrics are most used III
lpiaids, ana are shown in various grades

plaids are barred with bright colors
These are the Scotch plaids that Worth
used last winter for parts OF costumes

color. A few gay tartan plaius are

girls and children. Monotone piaids il
shaded brown and gray are similar tt
those of last winter. These quiet colors
are barred by lines of dark cardinal ret
and OF navy blue.
WEAPS.
At this season OF the year, when wrap!
are becoming necessity, novelty o
shape is quite eagerly sought. The
specially oil the season in wraps is the
large, deep, circular cloak. A few cloaks
of this description appeared last winter
in silk, cashmere, drap dete, ahd ethel
black materials, Tor nisut, and wraps d.
coau endnce alter coming out of a warmly
neateu assembly room; but this winte
they are destined to be adopted for mucl
more general wear. There are circulari
of heavy velvet, beaver and other heav,
English and French cloths; and very de
cided novelties in the cloak OF this shap
are made of the wooden Scotch cial
plaids-those In which blue, green an,
black are introduced being mostly eIn
pioyed. Cloaks OF piaided goods are bia
