The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-10-19

New York Oct. Is.
We are having the brightest of au-
tumnal days now in New York, and
Broadway is thronged with ladies intent
upon viewing the latest fall fashions.
Gentlemen also, from other cities and
towns, commissioned to purchase inery
for the fair ones at home, may be e g
turning oyer heaps of dry goods, and in
a despair at making a choice amidst SO
much elegance. For, how a a mere
man be expected to judge as to what
will prove most satisfactory to feminine
taste? Husbands are all very well for
the paying of bills, but most ladies pre-
fer to do their own stopping. And, as
shopping is often the greatest amuse-
ment the poor things have, it is not
strange that the stores are crowded
from morning until night by eager fair
ones in quest of bargains. Nowoman in
her right senses can be expected to be
perfectly happy without a new bonnet
for each revolving season. 1t certainly
is a little odd that every new bonnet
gives an added charm to feminine
beauty. A man may have a new hat
every day in the year, but he will still
be the same old 'stwo and sixpence' in
despite of bearer or wide-awakel But
a pretty face in a new bonnet is invari-
ably irresistible. The grave question
always is-what shall 1t be? There are
so many shapes and styles from which
to choose, that is no wonder women
thus learn to be fcklel There are hats
OF all sizes, and of all colors to be worn
with each different costume-and hats
OF black, a white, which are suitable
for any toilette. Fancy bearers with
high crowns and very wide brims are
the Jarviles. The brims are often
twisted into fantastic and becoming
shapes, a left iaring and faced, or bord-
cred, with velvet shirring. A p%rofusion
feathers encircile the crown. Turbans,
made entirely of feathers, or OF satin,
velvet, or plush, will be much worn.
They are jaunty and comfortable for
windy days when the head gear flutters
uppleasantly in the gale. The new
wrapes for winter wear are made
very long, reaching to the hem
of the dress. There are Of Satin
de Lyon. heavy brocaded silkor Of plush,
aud are lined with fur, quilted satin
a lone light tint in plush. They are
cut with long, sloping seams in the
back. and wide, square sleeves or in
the Dolman style. The new chenille
mors trimming is very affective upon
such garments for trimming. Large
masses Of oriental patterns come for
evening wear. Also white silk cloaks
brecaded with silver or gold. There
are trimmed with deep frings to r
respond dresses. The latest novelty in
dresses are the full sleeves-which are
pulled into the arm hole, and also be-
low the elbow. Others have narrow
shirrings the entire length. Street and
home costumes are made short, and
often reception dresses in the same
style short; plain shirts of plush are
bordered on the bottom with a narrow
satin pleating and, and are worn with
a deep, plain basque of the same mat
erial for the promenade. Plush is very
fashionable, and comes both ribbed and
plain. 1t is very affective in combin-
alton with other material, as satin, silk
or cashmere-walking skirts with deep
iounces extending to the waist in the
back are still worn, and some Of the
fronts are deliberately trimmed or en-
broidered. SOPHIE SPARKLE.
