FOR TIE LADIES,
WINTER FASHIONS.

MesSrS. ENRICH IL 90. of New York,
the publishers of Earich Fashion quart
erjy, have kindly placed at our service
the following notes on the Winter
| Fashions of 1Sf9-S0, compiled from
advance sheets OF the Forthcoming
! Winter number of their magazine.
The f;tshi9h quarterly is unquestionably
the leading authority on all matters of
dress and the toilet generally, as we'll
as the most trustworthy guide to shop
| ping in all its branches. We under
stand that the Winter number will be
unusually rich in its descriptions of
Holiday goods and presents. The low
price OF the magazine, only 80 cents a
year, or Is cents q single copy, places
it within the reach of all and there is
no lady but Will find it useful, how
ever small may be her purchases, or
limited her means.
The styles for the coming season are
rich, pleasing, and varied to degree
exceeding that of many past years.
The revival ofchangeable,o r shot silks,
satins and yelvets, Brocades and
damasses, the introduction of gold and
silver threads into many of the richest
dress goods, and the revived form in
which cut jet and variegated beads
have been reproduced, render fashion
| this year u gorgeous and beautiful
wonder. The modistes and milliners
have caught the artistic spirit, and
have made admirable use of these new
fabrics in the creation of rarely beauti-
full costumes, wraps, b0netts, hats, and
accessories of the toilet,
| SACQUES, CLOAKS, Ere.
While long French sacques of beaver
and chinchilla cloths and other cloak
ing materials, are used for ordinary
wear, the richer Sicilienne and Ant
werp silk and silk matelasse and heavy
eamel's hair cloaking fabrics, both
black and colored, are made up into
| long dolmans, visites, and long, loose
! fitting sacque dolmans, with elbow
sleeves or dolman capes superimposed
above the sacque, forming ornamental
sleeves and upper capes combined.
Such garments are lined with quilt
satin, and trimmed with tho richest
ostrich feather ruchings, heading thick
Fdouble fringes, composed of pressed
silk, chenille, and crimped tape +; and
sometimes a rich passementerie rat-tail
fringe is added, falling over the under
one Of chenille and pressed silk. Tas-
seled and ball fringes are also used and
to give added effect strands of jet beads
are introduced in the black fringes,
and amber and variegated ones in the
colored fringes and trim the cloaks of
colored cloaking material.
MILLINERY.
The millinery, this season, assumes
more original and interesting forms
than ever, while no words can convey
an adequate idea of the exquisite colors
and texture Of the materials. The sat
ins, velvets, and silks, the ribbons and
all woven stuffs in millinery goods,
come in changeable effects, or if sold in
color. are woven with glstening and
sheeny surface that is indescriba bly,
beautiful. The fancy feathers also are
richer and more variegated than ever,
and the ostrich tips and plumes are
frequently shaded III novel and most
effective manner colored tinsel, crys-
4 tai, and variegated and fine cut Jet
beads and ornaments are used al
libitum on everything, and gold and
silver braids and lace, gold, silver, jet,
steel and variegated jewels ornaments,
all play their part in the work of bon
net tgld hat ornamentation.
SIMPLE HEAD GEAR.
But while these dressy and elaborate
bonnets and hats are worn for cere-
nonious occasions, in full toilet, the
simplest kind of head gear-felts, Der
bvs, and equestriennes-are worn by
! Young ladies on all ordinary occasions,
with little or no trimming on them,
while their mammas wear plain felt
