Observation-Disclosures.

Of course you have been thinking
: of what we are 10 wear this fall and
i winter, and [ am happy to give you
such early information that you will
know quite as sooD as the average
New Yorker This is in consequence
of my having been allowed to look
over Lord & Taylor's sample books.
Among satins the prevalence Of
plush, chiefly in stripes or squares,
but sometimes too in large floral fig
ures is very noticeable. Moire or
watered satins, too, are extremely
fashionable. In truth, you can hardly
misplace a moire design, for they come
in stripes extending all over the sur
face in larger or smaller ripplings, or
! united with plush or brocaded stripes.
Not only are these rich fabrics COM
bined with plain satin OF velvet for
dressy toilettes, but they serve as
touches on fine woolen costumes, while
for such purpose variety is given by
plush combined with metal threads
that lie embedded at narrow intervals.
New plaided or striped woolens are
also brought out in great variety, to
be combined with plain woods in all
the fashionable colors, bronze, garnet,
wine, dark blue or brown. These
plaided or striped woods are prominent
among fall importatious, and are novel,
not only by reason of the new colors
harmonizing with the handsome plain
woods, but by new arrangements of
bars and columns.
Cheviot, too, is very fashionable.
1t has loose twill, aDd in small in-
distinct checks or stripes will be made
in simply shaped costumes without
combination. But more dressy cbevlot
is wrought with plush or MORE satin
stripes, while to complete the outfit a
clouded cheviot, in colors, to match,
is provided. These costumes will be
very stylish, yet not more so than
cheviots that have broad stripes taking
10 part of the breadth. These latter
are intended for the plisse (plaited)
effects that are amongst newest ideas.
The stripes are laid in plaits so that
one color appears ou the outside while
the other shows from beneath in
glimpses only. The transitions in
color are subdued so that they can be
worn by persons Of quiet taste. Bright
er woolens are worn in alterations of
one plain, broad stripe and one of
floral design, and these are disposed In
plisse style, either the floral stripe
appearing on the outside with the
plain color peeping from below, or
vice versa. Of course there is plain
| material to match
THE NEW BONNET.
Felt is conspicuous in Millinery and
is in black, white and all new colors.
As to shapes, one may choose among
the poke family, quaint in outline with
high pointed crown, or selection can
be made amoug the smaller cottage
and capote bonnets. In pokes, there
is considerable d;rersity, since soue
crowns are more conspicuously pointed
than others and there are notable dit.
ferences in size. But most of them
are quite large. Hats are often very
large; having broad, square crowns
with wide brims turred up on the
left side. Yet again we see Derbys
and turbans. Plush or velvet are the
materials used and are laid plainly on
the pokes and usually on the small
bonnsts as we'll. For trimming, we
have plush, satin, velvet and ribbon,
while by way Of finish it is feathers

there is nothing more suitable thai
