FASHIONABLE FANCIES.

FASrlONABLE FANCIES.
New fall wraps appear handsomely
trimmed with beaded plush bands.
PLUSH of very long pile, cut in graded
lengths to produce the effect of folds,
comes in all colors and in black.
WDE-FACED ladies make mistake in
wearing close brimmed bonnets with
broad, haring strings tied underneath the
chin.
AUTUMN street dresses are made with
the polonaise much shirred, and draped
high at the sides, with the skirt trimmed
with killings, box plaitings and shir-
rings.
New bias ties to be worn as cravat
bows, or else passed around the neck,
| are Of gay plaid soft twilled silk in new
combinations of colors, especially bronze
or myrtle green with red, and golden
brown with orange.
FELT and beaver hats come in all the
fashionable shades of olive bronze, old
gold, Quaker gray, dark green, admiral
blue, cigar brown, claret, fawn color and
ecru, and also in pure white and deli
cately tinted shades for evening wear
A STYLISH little poke bonnet is of blue
plush, with inside border of cashmere
beads; the streamers are of light blue
MORE. A coronet of light and dark blue
ostrich tips droops over the front, and
on the side head and wing of the hand
some lmpian illuminate the whole.
New sash ribbons are brocaded to
represent peacocks' feathers. Those
showing only the eyes of the feathers
are newest, and have many threads of
gold. Plush sash ribbons are very ele-
CANT, and there are also mixed MORE
and plush sashes in wide stripes.
The newest passementeries in blacl,
are broader and richer than anything we
have seen before. They are composed
wholly OF narrow satin ribbons, satin
| cord, and of chenille, relieved by Jet;
long bugles are oftener used than beads.
Fringes and moss trimming often meas
ure from four and a half to nine inches
in width.
THERE is great latitude allowed by
fashion in dressing the throat 1t must
be fully dressed with a profusion of
| filmy something, whether null lace or
| blonde, buf the face of the wearer must
be the criterion as to whether the dress
ing shall be in high ruff in the style
of Catharine de Medici, or a wide, fiat
collar like those worn by Anne, Of Aus
! tria.
! NOTWITHSTANDING the predictions to
! the contrary, jet promises to be more
| than ever la mode for the coming sea-
son. 1t is not only employed In AL sorts
| of passementeries and fringes, but is
embroidered on crepe de Chine and black
| II, 10 -
some of the embroidery SO compact as to
appear like a tissue or jet. Beads of all
cOlors, all of the same color, or mixed,
are used IN the same manner. On black
goods are embroideries OF gold and sill
yer beads, and on wine colors and blues
embroideries of steel, silver or cashmere
| beads.
| A DEEP mourning costume is of nuns
cloth and Grape. The rather full short
skirt is finished at the bottom by plat
ing Of Grape, and above this is a cloth
plating the same depth A tablier Of
Grape is draped in front, and the back is
completed with a puff of cloth and a Grape
bow. The jacket bodice is of cloth, with
the front buttoned down to the wais5 line
and trimmed with bretel]es of plated
Grape and deep turn-down collar. The
basques of the jacket are closed in front
with buttons and brandebourgs; the
sleeves are i'll coat shape, with Grape
cuffs and decorative buttons. On the
front there is a plating Of Grape forming
a band aud Grape drapery falls into a
point.
New helmet-shaped hats are COM
posed entirely of feathers. A bonnet
made of owls feathers, with. the head
as an ornament, is novelty. A toque,
with long wing of peacocks' feathers
on one side, had a crimson and gold
stripe as foundation; while still another,
with velvet binding, was composed en-
tirely of feathers. Very pretty are the
close princess shape bonnets. In one,
the crown was of red satin, beaded in
diamond pattern, with peacock and gold
heads. A cluster of peoples and corn
flowers prettily finished it. A shaded
capote in maroon had aigrette of ostrich
feathers, to match. Net strings were
fastened across the crown with most
stylish effect.
