LOW PRICES.
It seems like old times, when one goes
out to do fall shopping again, and n man
buys q good Wamsutta and linen shirt
ready made for dollar, and q calico
wrapper ,or his wife tor another dollar,
and n pair OF button boots for his six.
year old for another dollar still. There
are plenty of six dollar yard goods for
fine ladies, bu. the prices are low enough
where they should be, on cheap things
such rs ordinary people want, and I Of
ten wish that readers who live where
prices take the profits Off the big har-
vest, and the skill of the seamstress and
shoemaker is hard TO come ut, could ben

life.
SUPPLIES,
The grape yield is enormous, and fine
Concord grapes are selling daily in the
streets for five cents pound. Potatoes
are fifty cents bushel, the best oysters

FASHIONS.
The fall hats are style like the mas
culine helmet bat in gray felt, with a
scarf of dark moss plush, thick in its
pile as the tuited wood MOSES that wrap
themselves about an old trunk. A twist
of the scarf about the crown, and a sill
vered birds wing added and the simple
trimming is complete. For early fail,
black chips and straws are shown of re-
verse Gypsy shape, that is, coming close
to the forehead, with full trimming of
satin loops and roses behind, filling the
upturned brim. The bright geranium
red is largely seen in the flowers and
ribbons mixed with fall trimmings, and
an occasional hat with long full lace
barbes indicate that lace is coming back
to use.
The Breton habit is one of the late
importations in dark camels-bair with
bands of moss cloth in mixed shades and
buttons Tor trimming coming with the

Suits of Scotch waterproof in the Tartan
plaids have long been iavorites for SER
vice in England, but this fall is the first
time they have been worn here. A firm
is making them in fine goods, principally
in the Argyle plaid, like the fortv-second,
but with more open squares. The dres-
ses are made up in either the large or
small plaid of these colo,s, and suits of
this kind for both ladies and young girls
cannot be too highly recommended. The
sacque seen on nearly all the fall suits is
of such simple and convenient cut that
country readers are advised to procure
patterns without delay. 1t is known rs
the French sacque fitting closely in the
back with two or four pieces as desired,
and fitting the figure gracefully in front
by single dart and gore directly under
the arm without any cross seam at the
waist. Ladies will recognize how east
ly such sacque can be utted and made,
but will keep in mind that its stvle de-
ponds on the neatness. Seams pressed
till almost invisible, side gore hidden
under the arm, and not a particle of full
ness more than is necessary to 60 over
the hips, for which The d.essmaker ,akcs
the measure as closely as for the suit.
