till after tie holidays, when great
and general reduction of all dry
goods is always made. Ordinary
dress goods, selling for dollar a
yard in December, may now be
bought for sixty-eight cents
Cloaks, elegantly made and trimmed,
are reduced from S110 to SS5, and
so on to the low priced garments in
the same proportion. Very few
new cloaks are trimmed with fur,
but most of them with elegant fam
cy fringes. The cloak departments
are crowded with buyers, smost peo-
pie, in these times, glad to take adj
vantage of the fall in price, TO save
twenty or twenty-five per cent.
A NEW STYLE of PLAID VELVET
is offered, at five dollars a yard,
which is beautiful. The ground is
a heavy silk, and the plaid raised
heavy velvet. Some in fine, some
in large plaids, all in black, but the
general effect is very line. 1t is de-
signed for over dresses, with the
upderskirt of plain velvet.
A NEW SHADE OF BLUE,
Called moonlight on-the-A Air." is in
figured, embossed velvet, or rather
velvet Powered upon a ground Of
rich silk, of the same shade. 1t is
exquisite, and designed for evening
dresses
wATERPROoFs.
A remarkable waterproof has
been invented in Paris. 1t is of
silk, and may be folded almost as
small as a pocket handkerchief.
When unfolded it offers an ingeni
Gus series of pockets of different
shapes, made to hold the fan and
other essentials of feminine toilet.
The hood can be raised over the
heal by means of a spring, SO con
structed as to prevent the hood
from resting on the hat and muss-
ing the flowers or other ornaments.
But the ordinary waterproof now
adays here is made Of all wool goods,
made expressly for the purpose, at
three dollars or whereabouts per
yard. Sleeves, large cape and
ample pockets make very useful
garment of what a few years ago
was in the form only of a circular
with arm-holes-an uncouth, incon-
venient garment for the only pur
pose of keeping off the dampness.
Black, dark grays and navy blue
are the principal sb' les of water
proof goods. Quite novelty in
children's cloaks is one of navy blue
cloth, trimmed with white, the
trimming being of embroidered !
chintz bands, set on SO that the en-
hroidery is laid upon the cloth, the
plain part turning under. 1t is off |
the beaten track of fur or silk trim
ming, the contrast in color is pleas
ing, and it is appropriate for chill
dren.
PARTISAN SUITS.
Some of the latest suits imported
from Paris consist simply of long
polonaise, Topped very low down in
back, and have one rich fiounce put
on the bottom to simulate an over
skirt. Holbien green is new
shade of that popular color.
COUTURE.
The most fashionable couture at
present is the Catagan loop, or wa
terfall of waved hair, falling on the
neck and enclosed in large meshed,
silk braid net, which covers all the
back of the head, and is fastened
on the top with bow of ribbon,
with an abundance of finger putfs
on the top of the head at the end Of
the braid. Another bow of ribbon
is placed in the nape of the neck,
just above the Catagan loop. The
net is of cardinal red, or blue green,
or brown silk braid, and is called
The "Lucca." The front hair is
crimped, waved or hung in this
style of couture.
NEW SHOES.
The latest out for ladies' shoes is
a nigh button gaiter made all but
the fixing" of heavy black satin,
with bow at the top in front. The
price is SO per pair. This is for or
binary toilet. For full dress the
boots should match the color of the
dress aud be entirely of satin. The
new Napoleon sole" can be applied
to any kind of boot and is quite
unique, pointed toward the hollow
Of the foot and edged with double
row of small nails. The edge is
light brown, and the idea of it is to
give additional warmth, thickness
and strength to an ordinary winter
shoe. Handsome quilted satin slip-l
pers, embroidered, and with large
rosettes, and lined with flannel were {
shown us at Sc per pair.
BUCKLES
Of gold, silver, jet and steel are
a gain worn among the trimming of
hats. Coquettish little bows oflace
and ribbon are worn in the hair.
HAND SEWING. {
There is a reaction in favor of ;
hand sewing on fine underclothing, t
and most imported undergarments
are now handmade. A. Ii
