BoNNETs AND FURs.
have not space for any detail in regard to
bonnets, furs, clio axis, or outdoor wear gener-
ally, and, indeed, it is too early to predict with
certainty matters which depend largely upon
the temperature-On the comparative coldness
or mildneSs of the session. In general termsft
may be said that both hats and bonnets will be
large, faced with velvet or plush, and
trimmed with feathers, the cabriolet shape
and the high, narrow crowned poke being the
favored shapes in the most fashionable circles.
But the use of plush will modify size and high
color, and the employment of geld trimmings
favor the small bonnet later in he season.
Feather loques and turbans are put upon the
market in immense quantities this fall but
they are a local fashion and most unbecoTning
with their nat shapes and bright, shiny sur
faces.
The new thing in furS is long narrow collar.

tabs to the top of belted wsist-a modihca-

in black fox, seal, grebe, Russian chinchilla,

q very stylish addition to walking suit of
cloth or velvet The loDg-haired furs are not
in vogue just now; only those that are fine,
short and smooth, or very soft and close, as
beaver and Russian chinchilla.
The finest fur lined cloaks are of the dolman
shape, and are fifty inches long They are
made of brocaded silk satin merveilleux and
satin de Lyon, lined with whole squirrel and
trimmed with seal, otter, black fox, or Rus
sian chinchilla. What were known as the
pointed" furs are less used than formerly.
Natural beaver is used more for sets-cape or
collar and muff. They are specially suited for
wear with mastic eolored beaver cloth coats
and felt hats of the same shade trimmed with
feathers and satin to match and faced with
coral red or crimson plush
Coral red silk trimmed with white lace will
be in high vogue this winter for evening dress
es, particularly for blondes with very fair hair
Embroidered gloves and gloves puffed upon
the arm are used more upon the stage than
elsewhere; they are neither lady-lil1e nor any
improvement to the shape of the armi and
