ADoRNMENTs.

Fashionable dress goods Of every descrlp-
ton are selling this fall at much lower prices
than was asked for the same quality of goods
last spring. This agreeable feature in trade
will doubtless encourage shoppers" to
inspect the beautiful importations now on
exhibition at the several popular stores in the
great metropolis. Among the leading dress
materials we learn that "camyen
suitings, forty-six inches wide. are selling
at sixty cents per yard. Matelasse cashmere
is handsome fabric for cool weather
wear. and when adorned with
velvet garniture it forms rich and exceed
ingly dressy toilet. Promenade skirts AZ
ranged in Turkish brilliantine wear we'll and
are good enough for quite grand occasions.
The long cloaks permit number OF lndepend-
emit skirts, without the oversklrts; but this
change in modes is notexactly for fall. but be-
longs more particularly to winter. However,
we shall doubtless see many toilets next month
quite in advance of the season. There are
always "rushers to be found, and then
there are the "low-blooded," who must wrap
up when the first cool breezes visit us.
Black grenadine will be worn through the
autumn. This pretty summer fabric makes
neat and altogether agreeable appearance at
this season of the year. The popular debeges
will "hold their own this fall The leading
shades are blush gray, brown and fawn color.
The more snowy hues are selected for chill
drens costumes. The "shepherd." or pin
head checks are quite popular in various
qualities of wooden goods. Camels hair suit
ings, coming in shaded plaids and sombre
solid dyes, will form one OF the principal
fabrics tor elegant fall wear.
Trimmings are selected for garments &C
cording to the mode of the fabrics used.
Gathers plaits, pipings, shirrs and fjlds are
all la mode. Clinging side draperies. OF
what are commonly called "pinned back
skirts, are yet favorites Basques are the
vogue. These are adorned 10 correspond
with the overskirt. Coat sleeves take the
lead. The style of trimming the cuffs varies
more than the other modes which adorn the
upper part and sides of the sleeves For full
dress toilets the sleeves are of q more fanciful
character. For Independent garments, long
saca ues, mantelets, dolmans and saque cioaks.
This style is quite long, very roomy, and SC
completely covers the costume as to make ar
overskirt useless. Shoulder capes are JUS
now very much worn. These are simple in
construction, and yet they are very dressy II
| appearance.
Figured galoons, called by some gimps.
| form a pretty and inexpensive garniture.
Some few braids are embellished wit jet beads
Fringes of various kinds are fashionable
Black velvet, cut on the bias, will be popu
lar garniture. Feather trimmings are rather
more expensive than the other styles Of fash
ionable adornments. The Spanish cool
plumage forms lovely shaded feather trim
ming. Marathon garniture. coming in bands
produces a rich and snowy effect.
There are a number of new modes intro
duced in fall lingerie. The Byron collar, fol
morning toilets. and the new straight collar
and the curved collar are all designed fol
morning wear. Fittings of lace and lact
pleated are styles for full dress. Silk neckties
edged with lace, are still popular. F.schus
of all kinds are worn. The ever-pretty ant
becoming lace collarettes are tor full-dress
toilets. These are worn in a variety OF styles
and variously adorned, either with bows O.
ribbon or cunning punches of choice flowers
Colored linen collars and cuffs are considered
quite nobby for afternoon promenade toilet
Tulle neckties are dressy; these are fastened
in front with pretty bow of some becoming
tinted ribbon, and still further adorned with
cluster of flowers. Scarfs of lace are still popu

made of silk or velvet, are quite the "go

and day toilets For the above information W
