LADIES COLUMN.
Fashionable Fancies.

Mulberries are the newest orna-
ment for mourning bonnets.
Bracelets are a necessity with the
short and demi-long sleeves now
worn.
MillIners say that bonnets this
season are to be light in color, even
for the street.
Satin dresses with hand-painted
fronts are to be the rage in the fash
ionable world this winter.
Gold brocaded and plain gold rib
bons and gold cord braids and la
ces appear among the new millinery
goods.
Gold threads are introduced into
some of the prettiest laces, each fig
ure being outlined with gold chain
stitch.
Old-fashioned shirred sun-bon-
nets made of white cambria, trim
med with fine lace, are worn by
English children.
The strings of small bonnets are
more frequently tied in the back
over the chignOn than under the
chin in front.
Among the elegant novelties for
the autumn are walking coats of
| brocaded satin or silk; bronze green,
shot with gold, or old gold, with
small black brocades, are very eff
| fective.
Elegant corsage bouquets are
copied to order from the natural
flowers. Manufacturing pond-Iil-
les, daisies with silken hearts, JAG
queminot roses and velvet autumn
leaves are among these.
Tasseled walking canes are a part
of the impediments of English wo-
men, and the masculine "stand at
ease" attitude is assumed by fash
ionable young ladies when they
pause in the street or park to ex-
change greetings.
A novelty in neck wear is muf-
fer of sewing silk, woven in lace
stitches. These are in all the new
shades-dark blue, cardinal, old
gold, etc. New necklaces are of
plaid silk, in handkerchief style, to
match the new suits.
New cloth wraps intended to GOV
er the whole dress are made to look
like a nuns dress, with cords and
tassels tied loosely around the
waist, pointed hood or a pelerine,
sometimes both, and clasps for the
neck in the shape of shells.
Belts are very fashionable indeed |
and are benomiDg wider and wider.
Some are quite plain, others are
closely plated or shirred. With |
morning dresses they are of leath-
er or morocco, but with more
dressy toilets of silk, satin, velvet
or plush.
New fringes and ornaments for
cloaks and dresses are of wonder
fully mingled jet and chenille in
tassels and cords. Whole plastrons,
dropping ornaments, buttons, ele-
CANT enough to be worn as jewelry,
and fringes half a yard deep, are
among them.
Chinese and Hindoo designs are
seen upon many of the new dress i
Ruches, fans, palms, {
cranes, dragons and fishes are among
he quaint and brightly colored fig $
Tres. These goods are considered :
'ery fashionable, but they certainly t
ook very ugly. I
Among the stylish costumes for 5
misses issued this season by; Mad !
me Demorest is the Lura-a long, !
louble-breasted coat, with cutaway +
ront, and x-plaited back, com f
lined with a plated skirt. The h
oat is to be made of figured goods, {
nd the skirt of plain material.
Hand painted designs, represent i
ng the four seasons, are seen upon b
.ome of the Langtry hoods in Lon 1
lon. A mistletoe and robin red
,reast are the chosen emblems of
winter. The painting is executed
IN self colored satin-red, brown,
blue, silver-gray, black and old gold. :
A new cloth shown for elegant
nantles would make magnificent
curtains. 1t is of dark brown wool,
joft and fine, the surface almost
covered with embossed figures in il
gold thread too pure to tarnish. .
But such curtains could be only t
or milliUnaires, since the cloth is /
$50 yard. 5
New cashmere wooden stockings t
ire in reds, old Colds, green's and d
blues, with perpendicular graduated +
stripes in Oriental mixtures on the a
part of the leg which is visible be a

These are shown for ladies as well
Is for children, for whom they are
adapted.
Cloths for cloakings this season
IRE of almost every description.

md circulars and the dou ble-faced '
blush cloths for infants and ladies'
evening wraps. Black figured and
plain cloths are shown for coats,
lolmans, circulars, plaid lined cloths
or listers and velours cloth for fan
" mantles.
The new styles of bracelets run
% serpentine shapes. Flexible ser
)ents in gold and silver basket
work reappear, a new feature being
'aLcy heads copied from the an
.ique, some of them fac SMILES of
hose seen in the Cesnola collection.
The heads are jewele5, and one su-
perb model in black enamel has
brilliant solitaires set in the upper
folds.
English round hats are worn eX |
.remely large, some of them meas
lring a yard and half in circum-
ference. They are bent irregularly,
and there is much more trimming
On the brim than is seen on the
crown OF the hat. Wreaths of wild
lowers and Gloire de Dion roses
and even long ostrich plumes, are
lsed 10 fill in the vast caverns be
leath the brim.
