Novelties in Fashions.
Just as the time approached for the
Fashion Editress to write her yearly arti-
Gle on the fall and winter fashions q
young man from the wilds of JERSEY
came down to the coffee, offered to nav
her board, and the two went to minister
and gave him IS. She does his cooking
now, and the arduous task of letting the
readers of the Star know what to wear
and how to wear it devolved upon one of
the members of the city staff.
The latest style of ladies' hats is called
the Seldom" seen on the head. It is
generally placed directly over the ear or
nose, according to the taste of the wear
er, and gives her a"What DIVER soy?' sort
of look, which is very enticing.
A new thing in pockets is pocket books.
The ladies generally carry them in their
hands, but this fashion is rapidly done
away with, as the pocket book population
is.rapidly decreasing (vide police stats
tics).
Pants Gf the writer alternates between
the consideration of ladies' and gentle
mems clothing he must be excused as he
writes as the thoughts present themselves;

now referring to male habiliments) will
be worn as usual. This must be borne
in mind, for gentleman would appear
extremely ridiculous with his arms
showed through the legs of pair of
pants. The pockets will be built on eth
er side, so that the wearer, in default of
ap overcoat, can bury himself up to his
shoulders in them.
Suits tor little boys Can be constructed
from the obsolete pants of their papas.
This will elevate their noses and give
them hlgh-toned appearance.
Ladies' dresses will be tied back, if
possible, more than ever, and those who
don the latest style will be compelled to
start two hours before church time in or
der to arrive 10 time to hear the last
prayer
When returning from evening parties
the hats Of the gentlemen will lie worn
On the back of the head. By pulling the
hair over The eyes very pretty effect is
eneendcred. The latest style Of silk hat
is called "Conccrtina," because when re-
tul ming from q ball or party they general
resemble ore
70 those who consider themselves IN
able to purchase o7ercoats, o red pepper
worn in the buttonEole of the undercoat
will answer the purpose. Some paint
stoves On the back of the vest, while 9TH
ers sprinkle mustard in their shoes, but
the red pepper is said to give more
warmth.
To the gentlemen who have decided to
wear their straw hats all winter. the writ
er would suggest that very comfortable
earmuffs can be purchased for IS cents.
The cold weather will have no terrors for
those who take advantage Of this sugges-
ton. The nose may also be sand. paper
ed, and this will give additional warmth.
Evening or full dress shoes are low cut
patent leather pumps, with narrow, soft
box toes, high shanks to set the instep off
The same style OF pumps are made with
cloth tops with butioned or elastic sides,
and are very handsome Low dancing
shoes are gotten up very elegantly with
patent leather tops and short French kid
vamps. This gives the foot very small
appearance, and are not only handsome
but very comfortable.
A very pretty walking-dress is made of
silk with two lows Of paper muslin
around the back stoop, and the beauty OF
the dress is greatly enhanced by placing
rows of yellow au revcir or bon soiir down
the left hand side tucks. Should this not
suit the taste Of the fastidous, small strips
Of lace curtain may be overhanded at
suitable intervals around the pollynays,
with bic jackit plaitings from the cellar
to the roof and backhandcd over the
shoulder, will probably do as we'll. A
blue bingham umbrella strapped to the
left waist produces g. very handsome
effect.
Gentlemen's collars are still going up.
They have already reached the rim of the
hat, and before the winter IS over it is
possible that hats may be superseded by
roofs built over the collars.
A report has gained currency that
striped stockings are going out Of fashion
but a more decided knowledge can be
gained when the streets get little slushy.
The new style of Derby for young men
will be very small, and will give the
member OF the elite the appearance Of a
pimple on an egg.
Nineteen-button kids are suitable for
evening dress, but of course members of
the first families will provide themselves
with other articles of dress
The linked sleeve buttons are the most
fashionable, and are shown in great
variety. Sets OF gold, in white enamel,
including studs and sleeve buttons, are
considered the newest and most elegant
style tor full dress. Very handsome stones
set in plain gold, for rings and sleeve
buttons, are the intaglie, with heads cut
in the most artistic manner, copies of
antique or historic subjects.
Night 'pagamas," which are universal
~ adopted by Europeans in China, are
being introduced here, and are very much
more acceptable to gentlemen OF taste
than the old-time night-shirt. Those
made of Madras cloth are sold at So the
suit, but they are very easily made, and
most ladies handy with the needle can
get them up at home at much less cost.
They come to us from China made of
silk, and the price is $l2 the suit.
The market is full OF novelties in gen
tlemen's scarf pins and rings, aud many
of the designs are very unique. Almost
every conceivable idea that could be sug-
gested by the grave or the gay for
such uses has been introduced in gold
and silver, ana the variety is immense.
In silver there are ladders, boats, oars,
whistles, corkscrews--very suggestive
jockey caps, whips, pitchforks, guns,
horses in the act of leaping fences, must
cal instruments, hammers, saws; and in
gold a very pretty novelty is a pair of
icctongs, holding a crystal, Representatives,
piece of ice. A pretty idea is small tea
plate, artisticaily enamelled. represent

knife is partly open, clasping q
.''golden pippin,'' A real conch-
she'll horseshoe is set with SNAIL
diamonds, representing nail heads, which
is very elegant and costly. Place this
beside the Leusaic conch she'll, which is
perfect imitation Of the real, and one
cannot tell the genuine. "A string of fish
in colored gold; d jockey playing leap
