Late Fashions.
Short dresses. striped fabrics. puffe,
and plated skirts, or plain ones trimme,
around the foot with immense ruches
are still leading features of the lates
fashions from abroad.
Among the newest and prettiest bou
quet-holders is one made in the form O
a thistle bloom, in silver and green en-
amel. The shape of the flower is vel
adapted for the purpose the design
serves to fulfill.
Whole tabliers of ficelle lace, made in
small mesh with the finest Irvine in gray
or ecru, are wornover handsome dresse:
either Of plain or brocaded silk. To thi,
tablier are added deep collars and wide
turnover cuffs of the same lace.
Plain linen collars and cuffs are as
suredly to be worn again, and very deer
cuffs and Charles IL collars are pre-,
ferred by many followers of this severe
fashion. They look trim and neat. but
1t will take some time to re-establish the
custom of wearing them after the more
neglige fashion of wearing lace alone.
Among other pretty walking costumes
are those of cloth, in dark shades OF
royal blue, golden brown. or carmelite
color, with facings, revers. and pelerine
of velvet or plush. More dressy toilets
of wooden goods are composed of one
plain and one figured material, such as
vigogne or cashmere, with trimmings Of
matelasse, afabric which has come back
to fashion and is greeted with enthusi-
asm.
With the pretty and very becoming
velvet basques, over white or light mus
lin or silk skirts, are now worn tiny
black velvet capate bOnnets, faced in
side with pale pink or pale gold satin,
and trimmed outside with tea-roses,
scarlet-geranium blossoms, or shaded
wall-flowers, not mingled, and but q
single kind on bonnet. The flowers
are set around the crown as a wreath, or
in one large cluster just above the left
ear.
Partisan modistes are making up dress
skirts with the loose overlapping Louis
XIV. puts down the fronts. and panels
at each side trimmed in variety of
ways. Sometimes one panel is laid in
flat kits, and the one on the opposite
side is covered its whole length with
double box plaits. Other skirts show
the panels covered with quilts of narrow
flounces on the right side and cascades
of lace on the left, or where lace is an
unsuitable garniture, an echelle of cords
terminating with handsome pendants at
each end is seen.
Among the late novelties in fancy
goods are lace boas. They are made of
treble box plated ruffies of white or col
ored lace, so as to form complete
with a knot of ribbons, and again at the
belt, with long ends falling over the
skirt of the dress. The most elegant for
general use are made of black Spanish
jet-beaded lace, with ribbons of black
satin or MORE. The daintiest and most
for full evening dress wear
are made of white imperial point lace,
either plain or painted in the center of
each scallop, and in the midst of the soft
waves of the lace are set small artificial
flowers. The ribbons correspond in
color with the flowers chosen.
In new fabrics for autumn dresses the
lowered patterns so fashionable during
the summer no longer appear in any
thing like the majority, although they
have not become really questionable.
The cashmere designs seem likely to en-
ter new lease of favor. Tiny patterns
Of Oriental design in a great variety of
colors, the intermingling of which takes
off any effect of gaudiness, are to be
seen both in silk and wooden materials,
rs well as in fancy mixtures of both fab
RIGS. These are not, as rule, employed
for entire dresses, but rather for effective
appliances, such as panels, scarfs. vests,
revers and facings. On the other hand,
in the Scotch, but in the
Madras style-prevail in the latest goods.
Here again the colors are most harmo-
1iously blended. Uncertain shades of
blue, with every possible shade of yellow
Or gold, deep cardinal, dull shades of
nauve, grays and browns in variety of
shades, are the favorite mixtures, which
ire as different as possible from the
oright-colored Tartan plaids.-M Y.
