Yorker.
This is in consequence Of my baving
been allowed 20 look over Lord and
TayIor's sampIe looks.
Among SatiDs the prevalence Of
plush, chiefly in stripes or squarea. but
sometimes too in large floral fgures is
very noticeable. Moire or watered
satiqs too arc extremely fashionable.
In truth YOU can hardly misplace a
moire design for they come in stripes
extending all over the surface in larger
or smaller ripplings, or united with
plush or brocaded stripes. Not only
are these rich fabrics combined with
plain satin or velvet for dressy toilettes;
but they serve as touches on fine wool
len costumeg, while fer such purpose
variety IS given by plush combined
with metal threads that .ie embedded
at narrow intervals.
New pIaided or striped woollens are
also brought out in great variety to be
combined with plain woods in all The
fashionable coIors, bronze. garnet, vine,
dark blue or brown These plaided
or striped wools are prominent among
fall importations, and are novel, not
only by reason Of the new colors har-
monizing with the handsome plain
woods, but by new arrangements of
bars and columns.
Cheviot, too, is very fashionable.

provided. These costumes viii he

cbeviots that have broad stripes taxing

are intended for the pIiSse (plaited)
effects that are amongst newest ideas.
The stripes are laid in pIaits so that
one co,or appears on the outside while
the other shows from beneath in 81 iDps
only.
The transitions in color are sui,d'e,i
so that they can be worn by persops =
quiet taste. Brighter woolleas are
woven in alterations of one plain.

and these arc disposed in plisse style,
