of rich silk and wooden goods, or OF ma
terials combining woolen and cotton.
The groundings are dark, with fine de-
signs, sometimes in subdued tints, and
sometimes in bright colors, one of the
bright colors always predominating.
Another of these brooches is the cache
mire tue style.
The grounding is in several tints,
blending well together, and in rather
light shades, with Indian palm-leaves, or
Pompadour punches, cachemire de PInde
and Turkish rug designs. Among the
goods which are not broche, those which
will be most worn are woolen or wooen
and silk ribbed materials, somewhat re-
sembling Irish poplin, only with finer
cording and of softer texture, and striped
black goods, sometimes with satin and
plain stripe alternating. Plush will be
much used. A kind of woolen mousseline
de PInde, heavier than that worn up to
the present time, which is of fine cloth,
will be used for plain dresses. Cachemire
d'Ecosse will also be in great favor
Cachemire de PInde and vigogne are nc
longer fashionable, but will be used fol
the bodies of dresses.
English cheviot and English tissues in
sssa'kind of coarse canvas, either black OF
brown, dotted with red or dark green
spots, will be made into short suits fol
walking in bad weather and for travel
ing purposes. For all the above-named
materials, whether plain or broche, ex.
pensive or low-priced, the prevailing col
ors are red in all the different shades
garnet, moss-green, peacock-blue, gen
darme-b blue and "prune de Monsieur
The peculiar shade of ehangeable green
gold and red called scarabee is very hand
some in velvet and satin materials
Ribbed velvet, MORE antique and satin
are not as fashionable for trimmings as
they have been. Among the autumn
suits there are not nearly as many WOODEN
ones to be seen and silk is apparently re-
gaining favor. Many toilets are of armure
silk; they are made in the most simple
manner.
Among rich materials on exhibition
are navy-blue satins, with punches of
bronze-colored flowers, surrounded by a
garnet-colored thread; satins, with seal
colored groundings and hierogl glyphic de-
signs in dead-leaf colors, surrounded by
old-gold color, and bronze-colored silks,
striped with light blue, or peacock-green,
with lines of flowers. For evening toilets,
damasks have groundings in cream-color
or "nuage," covered with branches in
bronze-color, among which are inter
spersed small flowers in many hues; ma
terials combining putty-color and gray,
covered with golden spots; velour,
frappes, with silver-covered ground
ings, with lines of rosebuds in
relief, and many other designs.
Suits are never made of these brooches
alone; one or two other fabrics are always
combined with them, thus enhancing the
effect and preventing monotony. A very
simple kind of broche, which is now
coming to be much employed, has large
diamond-shaped designs. Generally these
diamonds are very close together. Red
satins are covered with black diamonds
aud fesh-colored with white ones. ave
lours frappes" are more worn than ever
In addition to these, which are in one
shade, there are velvets with tiny flowers
in Oriental colors. There are also rich
materials in wooden goods, in the same
style. "Damas de Lyon" brocaded or
dark groundings, with flowers in severa
colors, are also to be seen.
Suits are mostly trimmed in aproI
shape. There are net to be seen as many
tuniques long in front, or rather thes'
are nearly all trimmed to form the "pan
neau tablier." Quilles are much used a
trimmings, and many different kinds ar
made. Sometimes these are formed o
fine plaitings, and often breadth of tn
plated goods forms the guile. Whel
broche goods forms part of the toilet
then the pipngs, cofdings and ribbon
must always be in the shades of tn
figures. Take, for instance, a blue satil
skirt wholly plated in apron shape, witt
small paniers and the waist and puff o
brocatelle. On the lower part Of tn
apron are three plated ruffies, eacl
bound with one of the colors of the brc
catelle, which are red bronze and oil
gold. Very handsome and peculiar ei
fects are thus obtained.
The confections which are likely to b
most favored are also of broche goods, es
pecially those worn for carriage and eve
ming wear. They are made in visit
shape, rounded in the back, and trimme
with sable and skunk. The rage for In
dian materials has extended to every al
ticle of the toilet, with the exception q
little girls suits, and even these hav
sometimes vests of broche goods, bu
nothing more. Suits for young MISE
are much prettier and more appropriat
if made of plain or ribbed velvet an
cloth. The English cut continues to b
the favored style for the foundation {
these dresses, while the draperies, rever
and flowers almost conceal the origins
form.
