Fall and Winter Fashions.

The styles of wraps and mantles are
so varied, the individual taste of each
fair wearer can assert itself and yet find
its result with the limits of the mode
Coats, in jacket shape, will be worn, as
well as dolmans and circulars; and ul-
sters-that last, best gift to woman
will be as popular as ever. Fitted with
pockets and a gayly-lined hood, and
closely resembling complete costume,
they are invaluable and almost neces-
sity.
In mantles, the shapes are similar to
those of the spring, and are fastened in
front with strings which confne the long
tab ends. These ends are heavily trim
med with jet embroidery to keep them
in place. The mantles are elegantly
lined with twilled silk and satin of hello
trope and old gold, and deliberately trim
med with jet embroidery and lace, with
fringes of mixed jet and silk. Gilt is
also introduced into the fringe.
The "jersey "a garment which was
made fashionable in London by the Prin.
cess of Wales, and then worn in Paris
bids fair to be equally popular with our
young ladies and married bellies. 1t is
smooth-ftting, of heavy woven silk, but
tons or laces at the back, and comes in
all fashionable shades. With hood it
is little more appropriate for street
garment.
A cashmere jacket, elegantly trimmed
with jet, and laced at the back, is SINH
lar in effect, and is also the present
style.
Black silk jackets, with cuffs, collars
and rerer of black velvet, either plain or
illuminated, will be found useful and
stylish, as well as pretty.
Jackets or deep basques of Persian
brocade, made perfectly plain, with
handsome buttons for ornaments, are
very stylish for young ladies, and are
worn with plain skirts of velvet or silk
Bonnets for autumn wear will be of
coarse straw, either white, black, old
gold, or fancy-miXed. Later in the
season uncut velvet will be much used
in the formation of bonnets, which will
be worn larger and more in the coal
scuttle shape, made so familiar to us in
the old fashions of our grandmothers.
Straws are making their appearance al
ready, with very wide poke brims, lined
with gay colors in satin and trimmed
with large bows of ribbon, which ex-
ceeds in variety and elegance anything
manufactured in that line for long pc
Rod; indeed, the change in ribbons is
more manifest than in dress material
even. They are in every shade, or,
rather, mixed shades, and in their pat
terms run threads of gold and silver,
rendering them both costly and gor-
geous. The width varies from three to
five inches, and they are figured, diago-
nally striped and polka dotted, as well as
striped both through the length and
width. Old-gold satin ribbons are
shown polka dotted in gilt, and polka
dots and stripes of velvet also are
shown on a surface of satin. Elegant
dark ribbons, in Oriental shades, and
mixed tones, heavily threaded with gilt,
compete with the gayer Japanese styles,
which show birds, landscapes and flow
ers. Tulips and clover-leaves, birds
and sprays of flowers are also shown,
faithfully reproduced, and diagonal
stripes of velvet cross satin background,
filled in with spots ofgold. Wide Grim
son plush with a narrow border is seen,
and very rich ribbon is soft cardinal
satin, with old-gold diagonal on the
other side. The revival of an old and
pretty style is shown in a very mar.
row satin ribbon, sprigged, at intervals,
with small gay figures, and border of
white gauze on each side, closely imi-
tating lace These are intended to plat
as trimmings. Another exquisite rib
bon, intended more for trimming dres-
ses, is wide two-inch galloon, closely
resembling frosted gold and silver.
Other shades, as rose-pink, and change
able green and scarlet, are produced, as
well as heliotrope in all its shades.
Sash ribbons, for children, are also
shown, in all shades of satin, both plain
and figured. Gros-grain sashes are
no longer worn.-AndreOs' Bazaar.
