Fall Fashions.
SLEEVES are no longer worn very
tight q seam carried to the elbow is
now used but few faring or open
sleeves are made.
TURBANs will probably be the fash
ionable round hat, next season but, IN
stead of being worn far forward as at
present, they are to be placed far back
on the couture, as bonnets are now
worn.
CHERRIES, currants and other small
fruits are used, not only for trimming
bonnets and hats for the country, but on
evening dresses of white tulle or muslin
are fringes of cherries or OF berries
pendent from their stems in a natural
manner.
EAR-RINas made of black velvet or OF
watered ribbon ara in fashion abroad.
The ribbon is doubled and held by a
small buckle of silver or of cut steel
for day wear, or OF pearls or diamonds
for full dress. At the back of the bow
is ring for passing through the lobe
of the ear.
MONOGRAM stockings, to be worn with
| low walking-shoes, are worked on the
instep as this fashion is not confined
to the ladies', monogram stockings have
shared with gloves the honor of being
lost and won at the races.
CARDINAL RED is the only wear just
now. Whether she be brunette or
blonde, az dusky as Cuban or as fair
as Danish princess, no lady, unless
she utterly repudiates fashion, can go
without it. Fashion has declared that
this sanguinary shade does "become :"
every height, breadth and complexion,
and the eternal laws of harmony of color
go for nothing.
FALL BoNNETs have close fitting ca
pote fronts with high, pointed crowns.
The front or brim is so close that only
slight pleating of lace or silk, or else a
small twist is allowed for face trimming,
with perhaps little cluster of flowers
stuck on the edge of the brim. Many
of these high-peaked crowns are too
pronounce to please ladies of taste, but a
happy medium is found in lower taper
ing crowns that preserve enough of the
sharp outline to be stylish. Velvet re-
asserts itself as the handsomest material
for dress-bonnets. Indications are that
felt has had its day of popularity, except
for second best bonnets the coarseness
OF American felts has brought it into
disfavor. There is an effort to revive
plush as fabric for bonnets, but it has
not been largely bought by American
Buyers. Long and ample strings, to be
tied under the chin, will be found on
most imported bonnets. These strings
are of the ribbons known to milliners as
Nos. 16 and %. The handsomest rib
bons are gros- grain ON one side and satin
on the other.-Harper's Bazdr.
CoRsETs AND BUsTLEs. corsets
net, with supple bones, and are edged
with Valenciennes or with Mechlin lace,
and frightened by narrow ribbons of
blue or scarlet around the top. These
are of French make, with low bosom
darts, and quite short on the hips.
They cost from $40 to $l4. Among in
expensive thin corsets probably the
coolest are those of grass linen, either
white or ecru, with coutil center pieces
passing around the waist to give them
strength. They cost $1.2 Grass linen
Is also used for the long, slender b1stles
now in fashion. In some models the
grass linen has cases for bones, and is
shaped like the back of a hoop-skirt !;
these cost So. Others have length
wise puffs and pleated frills of the grass
linen sewed on a plain foundation.
Muslin bustles, entirely covering the
bones in them, and arranged so that the
bones may be easily removed when the
hustle is to be washed, are $3.50. The
| light skeleton bustles with covers for
the bottom hoops, are preferred by
many these cost 50. IS when well made.
Ladies who object to using hoops of any
kind make their bustles of crinoline
fcunces. They buy four yards of the
crinoline muslin for each hustle. This
has thick cords crossing each other,
washes well, retains the starch, and costs
twenty cents yard. A long sloping
foundation is cut, and is then covered
with hounces of the same gathered on
cords and starched iffiy.-Harper's
Bazaar.
