New flowers in millinery arc the oldest
looking things imaginable. Go in your
garden on some October or November
day and look at the sad colored roses.
wistinliy hanging pale heads, perhaps
half despoiled remnants of departed
flowers, or "gone to seed" pods and ber-
ries of all kindo, rattling forlornly, and
you have an idea Of what we think ex-
ceedingfy lovely in millinery just now.
They are lovely because they are faah-
ionable, and because they hayo q new
name. These uncertain, washed cut col
ors are the Havane shades-cigar colors,
in Other words-brownish gray, grayish
brown, md the like. Nature is in no
wise consulted, and We have brown and
gray buttercups end hyacinths, besides
roses and long list of other flowers.
Mixed in with such "wasio of dullness," ;"
however, We find the gayest or poppies,
the freshest of blossoms, the greenest OF
leaves; SO, after all, there is room for
choice.
Shapes are modest, the three most
prominent being the Mario Stuart, the
Normandy, fitting like child's cap, and
shape with falling coronet brim in
front. But trimmings arc bold, aud bon
nets are madc conspicuous by flaring
rosetts, enormous Alsatian bows and or
namentation maased. Satin is in high
favor, bat the newest thing is wstered
ribbon. Rough and ready straus will be
popular &c: general wear, whhiie for dress,
We have chips, either black or white, and
Tuscan and Leghorn braids.
1t is bourette hore, there and every
where, and tuftings and knottings swarm
not only on semi-tranEparent goods, but
on grenadines and gauzes. Even the
nav percalos gro stamped in imitation,
but the surfaces Of course are smooth.
For general wear, We find serges and de
beges in soft nhades of gray or browa,
but in black the grand opera cashmeres
and alpacao, beaver mohaigs and Turkish
bFilliantines are both durable and hand
some.
Costumes ara devised on the principle
of "let we'll enough alone" Theirs are
no special changes, nor should there be-,
when the princess dress, with it's graceful
sweep, is all that can bs desired. Then,
for out door wear, we have the short
walking skirt and cut away jacket
Mark the phrase; 'tis masculine one,
but it ia both appropriate and expressive,
for these little jackets ere really jackets,
and, furthermore, have vests TO match.
Then, in finish, comes tho turned.up
collar and tie-both just as manish as
| can DO.
In wgi.ing that there are no special
changes in costumes, I have writer
truly, but, nevertheless, Sa have stylish
notifications adapted to the sp.ing, of
which mention may be made. The Syl-
phine polonaise is very becoming to
slender figures, and with blouse waist
ia made tight fitting by belt. The f.
lisa and Seraphine are also distinguished
polonaises. while in tho way of waiking
skirt We have the Adriana, with Carmen
blouse basque aad Antoinine cut away
jacket. s
In trimmings, bands aud fringea lead,
and 80 We have them in all degrees, hoth
high and low. Then, again, you may
trim with the material, and here we still
SEQ knife plaitings or shitrings, Dut the
latter are made like gathered tucke.
Buttons are used in prcfusion, and tho
dtapeTy lie sometimes also caught by
buckles. -
Bouquet embroidered" gloves arc ex-
treme!y pretty, shoWipg bouquet on the
back of the hand. finely wrought ia silk.
Soft shades of gray or brown are worked
in two tones Of the same colors, or black
gloves are chRrmingly relieved by bright
embroidery. But the selEstitched gloves
a. also fashionable, aud here the Harris
neanless is most elegant in ct, and also
very, durable. The Victoria, costing
somewhat less, is an excellent gleve, and
the Donna Maria may likewise bo re-
commended. For evsaiag and full drss.ssss

ferred, and comes in white and all pale
shades. siif geS7
!a i,=5ls r,==:ss;ls, th s4e "oauUpy" is succeeded
by the ''bell" top, and We find black silk
and ieyantine brought forward to an un-
usual extent. The edges are finished by
bound scollops alternating with ribbon
loops, and effects at once tasteful and
varied arc produced by harmonizing and
contrasting colors. A long ribbon loop
and ends to match those on the edges Is
pendant at the top. Handsome fringea
are also employed in ornamentation.
Other stylish parasols ara of pongee in
