Fall Fashions.

Fall Fashions.
SLEEVES are no longer worn very
tight seam carried to the elbow is
low 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 trlle or muslin
are fringes OF cherries or Of berries
pendent from their stems In natural
manner.
EARRINGS made of black velvet or of
watered ribbon are 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, as 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
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
prononce to please ladies of taste, but
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 it's day of popularity, except
for seoond-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 honnets. These strings
are of the ribbons known to milliners as
Nos. Is and %. The handsomest rib
bons are gros- grain on one side and satin
on the other.-Ha1pe2''s Bazaar.
.CoRsETs AND BUsT1Es. corsets
are made of strong white or ecru linen
net, with supple bones, and are edged
with Valenciennes Or with MechIin lace,
and frightened by narrow ribbons of
are of French make, with low bosom
darts, and quite short on the hips.
They cost from $40 to $14. 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 $1.25. Grass linen
is also used for the long, slender bnstles
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 $3.50. Others have length
wise puffs and pleated frills of the grass
linen sewed on 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 So. rs 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 a yard. A long sloping
foundation is cut, and is then covered
with founces of the same gathered on
cords and starched sHfly.- Harpey's
