taken the place Of the more tamilia
Scotch ideas. Other new Atwood good
are in solid shades OF plum. bronze, gar
net. blue or green, and are bordered OF
either side-one border rather narrow
to be used on the corsage; the eothel
wide. for the skirt Of the costume. Man,
of these borders are plaid. but some ART
stripes, and they vary from large t.
small, and from the most gaily coloret
to such as are very grave. Handsome
goods show sell. celored borders. and moi
a few ct these are in floral patterns
Polonaises will still be fashionable. ant
here the Amandine can be mentioned a!
dressy and stylish. The Gilda costume
is composed of a cuirass basque, having
skirts attached, which give it the effec
of a polonaise with pointed apron; the
Elgiva costume is made with a coat. hav
ing long cut-away fronts. and in thu
way of a new basque, the Clarinda car
be recommended.
THE NEW BONNET.
Oftentimes the new hat is alarming IN
size. Large frames are made to loci
larger still, by coverings OF plush. and
as if this were not enough, we see for.
midable additions of prolonged Ostrich
feathers, both on the outside and also
below the wide brim. larIng on one
side. Feather bands are likewise popu-
lar. as are also birds heads and breasts,
and these. as will be readily perceived.
are not likely to make a hat look either
smaller or lighter. Flowers are almost
ignored. Some of our best milliners de-
clare they will not use them at all. and
where seen, they are extremely heavy
close buds with thick velvet leaves.
Plush is the material Of the day in mil
linery. Velvet will be used to a certain
extent, and at times is combined with
plush, but for enc hat or bonnet Of any
thing else, we shall see at least twenty
made wholly OF plush. Therefore it is
brought out IN all colors to match dress
goods, silks and velvets and in white
aud pale shades for evening and dress
receptions. Yet do not fancy US all
wearing something tremendous on our
heads. "Woman's rights" vas never
better exemplltied than just here. We
are gong to do just as We please, and
if anybody wants something small. ii
can be found. All sizes are brought out
but, as a rule, the bonnets are small
and the hats large. where rel the tur.
ban and other round shapes, which are
generally small, have increased consld-
erably in dimensions.
VELVET AND PLUSH.
The richest fall fabrics are velvet bro.
cades. PLAIN velvet, in consequence, is
restored to that leading position from
which it had been driven by the great
popularity of satin. for it is imported to
be worn with the new brecades. Satin,
OF course, is still quite fashionable. bu,
1t is now secondary to velvet. In re.
gard to plush, too much a hardly be
said. We are gong to have a regular
season OF plush. 1t will appear for I'M
derskirts. bands. pipings. ETC.. on cos
tumes-everywhere, indeed, that it is
admissible. This is a forlorn prospect
tor stout individuals, but equally hope
full for such as need increased breadth.
Unquestlenably there will be many mis-.
takes made, and we shall see ladies al.
ready much too broad look still more
so by wearing what was never intended
for them.
Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly. which
comes out this season earlier than usual,
is fuller than v g before Of information
in every department of retail trade. The
real merit OF the Quarterly is that it g m
ables its readers not only to purchase
goods from It's publishers, but to shop
in any part OF the union with a cleal
understanding of what is most desirable
and what prices shall be paid. Its re.
view OF every department is SO search.
ing and accurate that it allows a lady tc
forget nothing that can be needed in
household economy. and Its readers car
purchase with a facility attainable in nc
other way. Fifty cents q year for suct
a periodical seems little enough. but t.
make the Quarterly still easier to OBJ
tam, the publishers have issued a prem.
ium list. showing several ways no
only to get the Magazine for nothing
but to obtain a profit likewise. Thi.
premium list will be sent free on appli
cation to Enrich Bros, Eighth avenue
New York, and it will we'll repay ex
animation. LUCY CARTER.
