into wraps especially. The house itself is
now largely engaged in the manufacture
OF suits and cloaks after the best Eastern
, and European models-indeed it is the only
house here that manufactures dress. suits On
any large scale The display under notice
+ has been visited during the Week by vast
number OF ladies, and has won their admira-
ton quite much as in the more snowy
millinery department. As to what will be
, worn in wraps (dolmans, cloaks and the ike),
silk and satin for outside seem to be the fa-
vofite, and silk and satin with tiger and
leopard plush lining, with black plush and
passaInenteIie trimmings, are the leaders. But
the Ia ht-coiOr5d dCiman, with plush trimming
and cords and tassels is also prominent, and
very attractive; in fact. cords and tsssels will
be worn extensively. One Of the most ele-
CANT dolmans shown is made of rich black
silk surah, lined all through with fancy tiger
plush, trimmed heavily with black plush
beaded ornaments and fringe, and
has the graceful as well as extremely
comfortable long shawi-slseve. Such
a mantle sells at $50. Beside it
hangs another style, and very handsome it is,
too. 1t is in black satin surah on heavy
cloth back, making a very warm wrap in
deed. 1t is without the leopard or tiger
lining, but is made up somewhat similar to
the first described. 1t has the black plush
trimming, and is tastefully trimmed with
chenille fringe also. 1t sells at S45 Cen
orally, it may be said that in cloaks the old
styles are retired for the more costly garments,
and in such the close-itting sleeve is not
found among the better class of wraps, the
Japanese sleeve-shape taking the place.
Cloaks are worn longer and tighter-fitting
than heretofore. Fancy ornaments on wraps
will be much worn this fall and winter, and
are manifest in bead work and buttons of
strange but graceful designs, and in horse.
shoe, buckle, bugle, ring and clasp shapes,
| etc. In goods for wraps pushes of an elegant
kind are shown, watered, striped, plaid, and
plain designs, and denominations both for dresses
and cloaks. In dress goods the prevailing
style is the combination suit of ombre stripes
and plaids combined, with plain material
and trimming to match. Plaids of all the
"clans will be much worn. also watered
and MORE antique styles, which are very
fashionable and amount to revival of an old
| style. Satns de Lyon, combined with bro
cades and stripes, prevail. The favdrite
shades are greens, bronZes and garnet.
Among the latest novelties in wooden fabrics
is twilled material. very heavy; similar to
camel's hair, but heavier. 1t is very dressy,
elegant, and Grapes with exquisite gracs.
Small, invisible plaids are to be much worn,
and are very tasteful. The ombre striped
silks for trimmings are shown in great va
riety. One for instance, is a very beautiful
light shade of green bronze with OVERLAPPING
parallel lines of miniature peacock feather
designs The exhibit is entirely too large to
justify in this review any adequate detailing
Of the elegant goods shown, but personal in
spection will be found to well repay the
trouble taken.
PARTISAN RAcKET-This is Che name of a
new business establishment, which is to open
at 623 street. between Sixth and Seventh,
this morning. 1t is not opening for the fair
week merely, but bidding for public conf
dence and popularity, which shall insure
regular business trade. The principle upon
which goods are sold, as well as the method
Of purchasing, has PROFESSIONALLY sufficient
Of the novelty in it to attract large attend
ance and very numerous purchasers. There
will be in purchasing enough of the element
of chance to procure several times the value
of the money paid to attract the irrepressibe
curiosity Of people generally. The place is
named the "Parisiau Racket" as the same
class of business houses are known in
France. Sales are made as follows ::

along both sides Of the store-room from

partments. These commence with depart
meDt a, in WHICH is 3 large assortment of ar
ticles such as fac glassware, vases, lamps,
pocket books, music rolls, majohca, and a
great variety Of usesui ard ornamental goods
each article of which it is claimed, is gener-
ally sold as high as 81. Department B has
similar line of articles but of little better
worth and department G still better line,
with additional classes of goods; and thus
each department increases in value until ar
irving at departments S and L, the highest
where the articles have reached the value of
from 500 to $3.50. and are such as heavy
gros grain silk dress patterns, gold watches,
richly decorated French china dinner SETS
genuine French bronzes clocks, etc. These
goods are not purchased directly from the
shelves, but person wishing to purchase
will pay one dollar and choose from box
an envelope from a large number contained
in it, and upon opening the envelope card
will be found, upon which is printed one of
the several departments. The chance in pur-
chasing, spoken of, is as to the department
which shall be drawn. The card, when
drawn, entities the holder to any article that
he may select in that department. Ofcourse
there are by far the most cards for the depart
ments having the lower-priced articles
and these lower-priced goods of course
cost the proprietor much less than 81
each, as otherwise with no blanks to be
drawn, such business could not succeed. It
is novelty, however, and some very free
goods are, displayed, and square dealing is
guaranteed.
