FALL AND WINTER FASHIONS.

BEADED glmps and frlnges are the rule.
The latest bonbonniere is baby ele-
plant.
ALL black is much worn for handsome
dresses.
SEAL-BBowN plush is excessively fash
ionable.
RED, brown, and gendarme- blue satin
pettlcoats have appeared for fall and
winter wearing
COSTUMES for the coolest weather are
so heavily trimmed with plush as to APP
pear almost made of that fabric. Ir
THE fancy for red is displayed this
season in cloaks made of fine scarlet
cloth and trimmed with q new braid
called vermicelli.
HEAVY cloaking materials nearly all
have fur backs, and so require no lining.
Handsomest among these are the silk
faced cloths, and the plush cloth with
fleece on both sides. -,..
The new black WOODEN stockings have
very tiny ribbons, and much embroidery,
IN black only, is used on black silk
stockings for the evening. AS a rule,
the winter stockings will match tie dress
IN color, and the new shoes seem more
pointed IN the toes than ever.
FICHUs of fine white net are as popu
lar as those of null were during the
summer. They have an applique TRIM
ming OF moss-work In branching pat
terms for borders, or else they are
trimmed with the Alencon lace.
In making satin dress many neglect
one thing that is important in regard TO
It's looks and its lasting qualities, and
that is to have the satin all run the same
way and to be sure that the slightly
furry feel goes down, for If it runs up
the satin will soon wear rough looking.
A GREAT fancy prevails at present for
the Marie Antoinette fchu, SO well known
under that name, and depicted in the
picture OF Paul Delaroche. It is made
OF Indian muslin and very fine lace,
Breton or Mechlin being most in char
acter.
NEW ribbons are In colors and designs
to match the new dress materials
plush figured velvets, brocades, tinsel,
tissues, plaids and soft ottoman ribbons.
Prominent among low-priced ribbons
are stripes In monotone satin and silk in
widths for sashes, bows and bonnet RIB
hons.
HANDSOME jackets are of figured vel
vet and rich brocades, but many are
made OF lighter broeades in gay eolors,
like the foulard-iackets worn during the
summer. These last will be worn with
white null muslin skirts at parties by
young ladies who require thick garments
over neck and chests.
An elegant evening bonnet is of white

with the fashionable pig attached hold
the scarf to the sides of the bonnet and
another confines it In front. scarfwise.
A bird of paradise completes the trim
ming.
The popularity of plush is unbound
ed, and plush jackets with basques added
to them are used with cashmere skirts
OF every color to match. The sole trim
ming consists Of large and handsome
buttons, which are very fashionable in
deed. The Tam O'Shanter hat or the
drawn bonnet matches the plush.
The new winter petticoats are winsey.
Some have the lower edge, half yard
deep, embroidered In a contrasting
colored silk, such as old gold or cardinal
or dark blue, III spots the size of form.
Others have equal and unequal perpen-
plcular stripes of a contrasting color.
the newest interviewer with tinsel. The
material is wide enough for the depth of
the skirt.
In velvet, on the other hand, the way
of the pile should run up, since in that
case the velvet looks much richer. as it
falls back and so slightly open, and it
does not become fattened in wearing.
But woe unto the woman who has one
breadth run up and the other down.
The light will fall on each in an entirely
different way, and the two will not look
as If they had been cut from the same
piece.
AMONG the costly materials for even
ing dresses are some wonderful bead
embrolderies on satin. One is in gold
and pearls on white; another has large
pink roses and green leaves done liz che
nile and beads on q pink ground; another,
pure white pearls and chenille covering
the fabric, and another has purple
pansies on plum velvet ground, while
richest of all is wide band of pearl en-
broidery on Brussels net.
To make black silk full round skirt
do duty with more than one waist and
thus give variety, the apron is omitted
and the shirred front used. A belted
blouse of tan-colored cloth or of cordu-
roy, with. three box-pleats in front and
back, is stylishiy worn with such skirt
for morning toilettes on the street; for
the house greater latitude in color is ad-
missible for these blouses, pale blue be-
ing the favorite, though white and ecru
basket cloths are used, also lavender and
cardinal red. The black skirt may form
part of a handsome street costume by
having round coat basque of brocaded
silk of mixed Persian colors, and is
especially stylish with brocades combin-
ing Old gold and black.
THE always reliable correspondent of
Harpey's Bozar says that for toilets
worn in the morning the tendency in the
fall will be more and more toward the
riding costume in regard to the corsage,
as well as to the ensemble of the toilet
