The miIIiners and mantau makers propose
to present something like the subjoined for
the glory of woman and the contemplation
of man, this fall. The New York Tribune
of Thursday says: Fashion, as full OF cap
rice as the wind, after varying to all the
points of the compass, driving modistes into
insanity and rendering designers OF patterns
idiotic for life, has returned with all the
force of first affection to the Prlncesse shape,
which is but a counterfeit presentment OF
the useful and graceful polonalse. NOUS

diste. "For bss1ues, and sacques

TsadvU "Peste,' chimes in Monsieur, the
designer; land cut out too!" But the In
tense heat keeps people by the breakers, IN
nnountaiu businesses and farm retreats, where
thew forget designs and DESIGNERS, and are
intent only on keeping cool. The Princesse
costume is similar TO the Gabrielle, the waist
and skirt liz one piece, with large hanging
sleeves. and the skirt heavily draped from
TIE front; it is extremely graceful and CO.

dinner dress, and even Tor full
dress. The same style will be man
ifsst in outside garments OF velvet and
camel's hair, suffered to fau plainly
without being draped. This is one OF the
most important whispers from the oracle OF
what September openings will disclose;
Naturally, tabhers, overskirts, basques and
sacques Will also be worn for other occa-
sions. The popularity OF the costume
strengthens with its growth: therefore, tnls
most Economical as well as picturesque OF
ALI fashions will continue throughout the
coming season. 1t is announced that there
will be no Improvement in the "hatness" OF
costumes, especially at the BACK,

pure colors is a lovely soft gray. Acier is a
cold steel gray, sEd ranking next in quiet col
ors.which are perfect for street toilets, are the
shades called rossignoI (nightingale), rainier
(wood-pigeou) and poussiere, in which all
coIors of dust are concentrated. Fume9
(smoke), is again revived, with Carmente
brown, bouleau (birch color, and Centen-
NAL brown, which is tinged with red. Tnere
are several green's of the most Invisible
shade and also the dusky olive. For warmer
tints there are the scabieuse and ehamperln
a very dark wine color. Brilliant tints,
especially for gaslight, are naca:as, req
verging upon orange, and enfer, a WHO
flame color. The colors for evening dresses
are delicate and lovely. A perfect shade OF
rose enchanting for brunette; pure blue
called Indienne; turquoise blue; green OF
a faint translucent water tint, ana the sea
foam green of last season will also be seen.
There is a tint of white with the creamy
softness seen in Provence roses. BE
(wheat(. will be very fashionable, and also
ecru tints, such as creme, a cream color
with strong tint of gold, straw color, sal
mon and pale flesh tints. Plsids will only
be worn combined with plain color, and
lovers of Louisine silks will be
glad TO know that they come for
winter in heavy silk dlagonals, serges and
bsskes-woyen. The colors are handsome
and unique. The dark background of the
plaid is heightened by bars and lines Of
vivid scarlet, red, straw color or 6lue.
Among other materials newly imported are
faconne fabrics, the figures covering the sur
face in damssk designs being wrought III
the loom. They are like the old-fashlOnec
damask, remnants of which are
yet cherished by those whose sur
nifcent brocades bring back the days o
farthingales and powdered wigs, and are
stiff enough TO stand alone by reason of th'
weight of embroidered boquets. The moyen
age damask brocades will be again revived
in all their quaint stateliness. The rich
TYRIAN PURPLE AND DELICATE BLUE
grounds are covered with horlated design
and graceful arabesquss. Matelasse silks @
last year come again, not so heavy as the
were, with new faces reminding one OF tn
fashionable grenadines of this season i

Black and very dark plain fabrics will be q
