FASHION NOTES.

New silks are worn with heavy reps, and
are very lustrous.
The sailor collar is worn with dresses of
all kind in Paris.
Ribbons in millinery are to be. much
wider this winter than those used thus far
this season.
Stripes are much in favor in ribbons and
all materials pertaining to millinery as well
as in costumes.
Low coiffures are now quite the fashion
and flowers are put on near the right ear, SO
as to droop on the neck.
The brocade satin for combination cos
tunes show a variety of designs, among
which are japanese fans and birds.
A new style of French chintz, worn a. the
French watering places, has the stems Of the
leaves in the pattern wrought in gold.
Birds, or parts of birds, are favorite trim
mngs for new hats and bonnets. Sometimes
as many as - humming birds are seen on
one hat.
A new lace pin represents hound chas-
ing n hare through tall grass and ferns.
The design is worked out in filigree between
two bars of FURNISHED gold.
New materials for fall costumes have the
colorings and effects of India cashmere
shawls Some of these are in stripes, with
small palm leaves forming the stripes.
A costume stylishly made, of any mate
rial and after the fashion of any period, is
fashionable and in good taste at the present
moment. Ladies never had so wide a range
in dressing AS they have now.
For married ladies pretty evening dresses
are made of light-colored foulard, trimmed
with Indian silk in cashmere patterns They
are fashioned very much like walking cos
TUNES, excepting that the bodice is made open
in a square or shape.
Veronese chestnut brown and Murill.
brown are the favorite colors in hair, accord
ing to high authority. and yellow refec
tions are a necessity. This is not very en-
couraging to the brunettes who were rejoicing
because blondes were out of favor.
No low bodices are worn for dinner dresse
at this time of the year, but only the oper
bodice, with some pretty fichu or parure o
tulle and lace. The full lace ruche is fash
ionable by way of colorette, and the bouque
de corsage is put up quite high in the necl
on the left shoulder.
The panier scarfs which are attached L
the lower edge of basques are shirred shor
in front, and again on the side seams OF tn
back. They are fastened behind by iarg
bows. The underskirts worn with these has
ques are slightly shirred on the lining AM
have bands of the same stuff as that of tn
scarfs set down each seam-
Indian silk. in cashmere patterns is jus
now the most fashionable of all fabrics 70
trimming; still, ladies who prefer a quie
style elect to wear instead brocaded or al
mure silks, differing only in density of shad
from the color of the dress Pekin, though
still very popular, has been so for too long
period not to be little out of favor with gu
} elegantes. They have also wearied of Pom
padour silks because these were so soon an
: so well initiated in cotton goods. The pre-
ent caprice is for cashmere designs and var
r Gus fancy silks; brocaded armure, or othel
, wise faconne, are adopted for those comb
| nations of materials which are still the styl
in vogue.
Although many kinds of bonnets al
worn, the large ones are most decidedly gal
ing ground and this winter we shall probabl
see the large capote protruding over the for,
head more or less after the shape of Goa
, scuttle. At present. for the autumn, bonnet
