FALL FASHIONS.

SILK CIOAKs AND SACQUEs.-Few
long sleeveless circulars will be worn, but |
a beautiful wrap answering the same /
purpose is made with four seams, the |
black slightly gored In to cling to the !
figure, the side seams from the neck down |
the shoulder curVing gracefully, while !
long, narrow sleeves are set in, low |
enough down to give good effect to a |
stout figure. This wrap will be made |
up in Siciiiennes and plain or repped !
silks, amure and matelasses being also
fashionable for such garments fringes
and heavy galloons will be used for
trimming until the winter season, when
furs will be employed. Long plain
sacques of silk or the repped and figured
woods will be worn until late In the
season; and, if made with regard to the
figure, are becoming to nearly every one.
Shorter silk sacques will be moderately
fashionable, long Louis Q1inZe being
one of the new suggestions.
The pretty pale-hued cashmeres intro
duced last season are coming into special
favor for evening wraps. Four yards
will make mantelet, and the designs
are various; crossed pieces in front; one
end longer than the other, and which
may be thrown over the shoulder diago-
nal seams-au such ideas find their way,
with many others, into these garments,
and the fanciful galloOns form beautiful
trimming.
FALL WRAPs.-Although too early in
the season for wraps of any weight, yet
even fall costumes must be made up with
some reference to them. The designs in
wool and silk costumes provide for some
kind Of outside wraps of the same mate
rails, which may be worn later in the
| season and at no time has fashion so
leniently considered every type of face
and form. With the costumes, includ
ing overskirts or upper drapery, sacques
| and jackets of various lengths are shown,
none, however, being very short, while
every possible variety of cut and trim
ming is displayed. A wool and silk cos
| tune trimmed with hands and buttons
had a jacket fitting closely in the back
and loosely in front, cut with long front
pieces, the sides being cut short and
! square, the back similar TO the front.
! From the side pieces straps of silk but
| toned down into the dress, while the
back was trimmed with downward straps
and buttons, the front to correspond.
Some costumes have long plain jackets
very little trimmed, and others have silk
jackets in one color, which may be worn
with any dress that harmOnizes. The
most popular form is the simplest
modification of last years long sacque,
although that will also be used to a
certain extent. Until late in the season
the polonaises need no outside covering,
unless it be one OF the light fichus or the
crossed Dolman. The DOlman of last
year is altered this season to a more be-
coming garment-closer seams, longer
front pieces, and a more clinging effect
1t will hardly be 50 popular a wrap as
formerly.
BONNETs,-Felt bOnnets are not seen
among the earliest importations for au.
tumn. Various materials are employed
for the covering of bonnet frames. The
shapes for fall and early winter retain
the favorable characteristics of last season
with welcome Improvements. Prominent
among the new shapes is one suggested
by the popular capote of last season, the
brim deeper and better shaped. This fit
the head closely at the side, and cal
have lace trimming or not, according tt
Individual fancy. A second style has
round crown, with brim slightly bent
la Marie Stuart. Another style has 4,
diadem front piece above curved band
where the flowers or face trimmings may
be set in. The modified cottage SHAPE
will also be worn, and is particularly
youthful and pretty. In general effect
the bonnets are small and dainty il
design, while their trimmings are entirely
novel. The fabrics to be used for thu
covering as we'll as fall trimming of fal
bOnnets, and probably those worn lat,
into the season, are silk, plush, satin
and, for ordinary wear, wool materia
ike the costume. The colOrs are various
plush of delicate hues being shown il
dress hats with satin trimmings, or VIC
I versa dark rich satins, the rev tints il
old gold, mulberry and garnet, bronz
; and seal brown, being prominent. Tn
bOnnets covered with plush have OUTSIDE
trimming in soft rolls or loops, and fac
trimming in satin of the same shade
: while those covered in satin have ban
, deau of plush outside and in, loops at tn
left side, and occasionally a binding O
plush or a tiny pleated cape. This, Q
course, only forms the foundation bot
flowers and plumes will be used, tn
former in endless variety, although ther
are certain styles, simple, rich, and eIe
giant, which will take the lead. Feather
viii be used as complete trimmings 70

and are shown in every conceivable shad
e and color. a pale blue has the aigret 0
, darker blue going up the center, AM
; may be effectively worn on blue satil

E given way to a three-quarter-lengt
} plume, which will partially encircle th
, bonnet, being finished with loops of satil
t or plush, or flowers. The cloth bonnets
l like the costumes, will be trimmed wit
