Of fashion, especially by ladies who have

/ of fine jet beads seved upon them in order

French bonnets. They look like the real
thing, but have metallic style about them.
Dragon flies are mentioned among the
new ornaments. 1t is the general impress
sion that they will be suitable for your
| wife's mamma.
| Velvet polonases are promised in album
! dance and are to be trimmed very elabor-
ately. The polonaise seems to be as fashion
able as ever.

dresses are the close pointed basque, panier,
pettcoat front, and long flowing court train.

/ now parted in the centre, and at 4 distance

Cashmere suits this Fall are exceedingly
neat and pretty. They are made up simply
and therein lies their greatest fashionable
charm in the eyes Of the upper ten thou
sand.
Flaring shaped bonnets are, We hear, to
be worn by the fastidious leaders Of fashion.
The trimming is 50 arranged on top that it
can be seen half a mile off without the aid
Of glass.
White and colorsd handkerchefs worn
around the neck and shoulders are still in
vogus. Some embroidered or edged
with lace. but the plainest appear to be the
most worn.
Embroidered waists are very stylish, and
very popular Some call them waiStcoats,
but the difference is pronounced. The en-
broidery takes very expensive md show!
designs.
In laces there is q great variety, not only
in designs, but in prices. What is called
Belgium net - is new and novel, and will
probably become as fashionable rs shop
keepers desire.
Ladies' over five and twenty years of age
who wear mems Dsrby hats on the streets
have no one but themselves to blame if they
are insulted. Tho hat is only suitable for
young girls.
Jet fringe, and indeed jet trimming Of all
and every kind, was never, not even Pima
fore seldom, ~ popular rs now. 1t is an eff
fective mode Of embelishing costumes, and
hence its success.
Garnet is becoming more and more in
favor, and jewellers say that the stones, so
long neglected, are advancing in price. An
entire set of garnet with black dress is eff
fective and stylish.
Buckles for the fur-lined circulars are as
large as the shields carried by Roman gladi
ators but much handsomer. Those made
of silver are understood to be the handsom-

In boots and shoes there Is no material
change or alteration in fashion. The French
heel has lost no popularity, and it keeps the
medical men we'll supplied with women suf-
fering with disease Of the spine.
Antique goods are in more or less demand.
The fashions Of 1875 are promised again to
please those among us who have got old
china, grandfather's clock and Martha
Washington's cap on the brain,
