brown, si!k.trimmed, with pleatings OF the
same. THE overskirt and basque are OF flne
gray debage, at seventy five cents per yard.
The basque is made by the pleated pattern;
and the pleats. back and front, are OF SILK TO
match the skirt. The overskirt is edged
with piping of silk. and the same finish Is
on the basque. A fat pleating Of silk ex.
tends from the waist to the edge Of the long
apron overskirs. The dress Is drawn back
too tightly to admit Of such an unladylike
proceeding as romping, and Is finished by
broad brown ribbon sash. Brown agate
buttons close the basque; aud the price of the

Simpler dresses are Of serge with single

and the sleeves are Of solid brown. The
plain cuirass and long, round overskrt are
of shaded brown plaid, and have only q
piping on the one, and plain hem on the
other. The overskirt is draped by shtrrlng
on the hips. and is also shirred down the
centre of the front. The same style is seen
In gray and in blue The material may, or
course, be chosen to suit the purse ofthe
wearer. Warmly.lined sacques to match the
suit are worn with these, or else French
sacque of thick cloth trimmed with Titan
braid. r. - E. '.. '
Misses waterproefs are long sacques Of
dark blue or brown, made with close sleeves
drawn at the hand by elastic, and with cape
and hood lined with brightcolored flannel.
The bat is the togue, trimmed with long

Pleated skirts are much liked for small
gifls. When the suit is Of two colors or
shades, the skirt is made OF both-i. e., the
plain trout is dark, and on each side of this
are four light pleats, then four dark, and
so on.
FALL MILLINERY.
Bonuets vary but little in shape from those
already worn. There is one with soft
crown, called the Zanzibar, in honor of the
Satau; aud another, which may be reversed
and worn with the back in front. All OF
them have strings, and are worn very far
back on the head. In hats, the toque, the
souch (much like gentleman's), and the
round hat, divide favor. Later, 1t Is said,
turbaus will be introduced. E..
New hat. and bonnet-ribbons are very
wide almost scarts. in fact. Feathers are
furore and feathers OF all sorts. Birds,
from the pigeon to the humming-bird wings,
plumes, bsDds, ostrich tips. and aigretteS all
appear. One new bonnet, from VirOt (the
great French millinery, has six wings on each
side; another has one pair la Mercnre =
that is, stuck in at the back like the wings in
Mercury'S cap.

the end is stuck in, and left to wave at their
own sweet will.
The Montdqnard hat is something like the
brsanG aud Ruoeu's shapes Of last season,
and has usually a long plume stuck low in the
waist. Gold and silver braid is much used,
and gold and siIyer-gilt ornaments have
taken the place Of jet.
Even cashmere lace is a novelty, which is
largely used on Partisan bonnets. 1t is a
tue woolIen lace, of the creamy tint so popu-
lar for some months past, and comes in
thread-lace patterns. AS dress.trimmng
it promises to be much liked.
Flowers are now arranged in tonfes that
is to say. they are crushed in cluster into the
centre of bow or rosette of long loops of
velvet or ribbon.
Linen collars and cuffs, hemStitched, are in
fashion. Ladies fond of needle-work hem.
stitch for themselves dainty ruffles of linen
cambric, rolling and whipping them on to a
band afterwards. and crimping them with
knife or scissors after the fashion OF our
grandmotbers. These ruftles are for sale also
at first class furnishing stores. Crimpsd ruff
nss of uainsook, simply hemmed by machine
and easily laundried, are both cheap and
pretty. For haIfgrowp girls they are the
iavorite neck-wear for school and at home.
