Fashions Variety in autumn and Win
| ter Dress.
Dressmakers and modistes are making
elaborate preparations for the winter
fashions, says New York paper. The
custom of adhering exclusively to one
style of dress has been abandoned for
some years past. There are set fashions,
it is true, but these can be so varied as
to satisfy all tastes. Many ladies plan
their toilets TO suit their own particular
styles. Ifpossessed of a certain amount
OF taste, these ladies generally prove
most successful, and by this means great
uniformity and monotony is avoided.
The general tendency in respect of many
articles OF dress is toward enlargement.
Bonnets, dresses, and even mutfs are to
be larger than those used last year.
Heavy fabrics, such as brOcades with
designs of large flowers and "velours de
Genes" are among the winter goods.
Toilets of these goods are made to fall
in rich, heavy folds. Fur is to be much
more layishlly employed than it was last
year. The large bonnets are to have q
great variety of May-bugs in all sizes
placed among the trimmings.
Dresses continue to be narrow. Wide
sleeves gathered at the top will be
much worn. AS is usually the case
new combinations will be combined
with old ones. Jackets are to retain
their hold on public favor; the favorite
style is the Louis XIV. One of the
latest of these is belted on the waist
and falls over a skirt which is drawn
tightly over the hips by means of &
crossed scarf. The lower border of the
skirt is plated. This suit is OF stri ed
woolen goods in the new shade called
"gris de mer." Another style o
autumn wear consists of tight-h TIM
Spencer waist, and plated skirt o
plaid woolen goods in very ligh
shades, blending we'll into each other
The scarf, which is taken across th,
hips, is fastened by means OF thicl
wOolen cordings. These scarfs will h

wear are preferred with dark greer

skirt OF Scotch goods, with blous
waist of plain blue or bronze greer
serge, and hood lined with Scotcl
plaid. The second way is to hav
