FASHIONABLE FANCIES,


goods.
The curate collar of white linen is Sc
cured with yellow gold stud.
JACKETS have from ten to fifteen wood
en- buttons, finely cut in pugs' heads,
down the front.
INDIA red, bright scarlet shade, is
the most effective color for combining
with the genuine Indian pongee.
JAUNTY short jackets of light cloth are
simply trimmed with machine stitching
and large buttons, notified in hue and
round and flat in shape.
A PALE, pink dress is trimmed with an
elaborate fringe of tiny pink beads. For
the corsage and hair there are amyriIlis
lilies and diamonds for ball.
Two bouffant puffs edge the short an
tique basques of French dresses. The
skirt below is laid in broad hollow pIaits,
that are confined by gathered cords
across the hips.
NEW half-mourning bonnet is large
poke of dead-black silk, smoothly COW
cred. On the left side is q dull, black
breast, and outlining the crown is ban
deau of dull jet. The broad strings are
OF soft mourning ribbon.
Upon some of the most fashionable
costumes are used ribbons by the dozen
yards upon the skirt alone; and corsages
and wraps are covered with loops of rib
bon, mingled with waves of lace, so i'm
portant a part do ribbons of every shade
form in the costumes Of the day.
Upon velvet trimmed dresses, the old
style zouave jacket is again seen, this
also being of velvet and rounding over
the chest, thus giving the bodice beneath
the appearance of waistcoat. These
Jackets, accompanying costly French
dresses, are frequently bordered with
rich passementer1e bands or a glittering
applique work of jet, ruby or amber
beads.
BAsQUEs are cut in every shape and
style aginable-round, pointed, long,
or short, with square tabs all around
the edges, in position fashion, or with
full putfs lined with contrasting color,
and issuing from beneath sharp pointed
cuirass corsage a la Marie Antionette.
Then again there is bodice with long
" directoire appendages resembling
exactly the coat tails of our grand
fathers. These are seen mostly upon
elegant imported dinner and reception
dresses; and in contrast are peplum bod
ices with panniers large enough and full
enough to take the place of a tunic.
THERE are indications that skirts plait-
ed from belt to toe will again be much
worn this autumn. Imported travelling
skirts have already appeared made thus,
and above this killed skirt is the stylish
French pannier polonaise with its ex-
quisite shape and artistic drapery.
Over other killed skirts are worn the
Newmarket Jackets, with full sash dra-
perry of the dress material caught up in
graceful folds above the killings. In
such fabrics as foulard, Louisine Coral
and Rumchunder silk the effect is excel
lent, but with heavy tweeds. cheviots
and cool weather materials the question
of added weight will probably form con-
siderable objection with many persons.
The following model for wrap comes
from London designer: The material
is black ottoman broche, with jabot of
black lace down the front and double
trimming of similar lace around the
edge; over it fall small round tassels of
chenille and cut jet pendants, with fine
effect. The shape of the mantle is very
becoming to good figure. It fits close
~ on the shoulders and rises quite high
around the throat, the lace trimming the
neck in sort of putting, thence falling
in frill, thus forming a deep collar.
Fitting closely to the waist, as it does,
there would be a want of the needful
fullness necessitated by the tournure
were it not added by means Of gather.
| ings adjusted below the waist.
The wonderful success achieved by
figured satins, poIhpadour cambrics, and
other attractive but inexpensive washing
fabrics has given rise to the desire tc
apply these designs to richer tissues,
and for the autumn, softly draplne
monochrome fabrics, such as wolfe reli-
giouse, and many other varieties known
under the generic name of veilings, will
be made mp in combination with silk and
wool fabrics, showing designs similar to
those seen upon the dainty summer
materials just alluded to; these pretty
floral devices. being wrought upon
grounds matching the shade OF the
monochrome fabric. These novel figured
goods will be among the most popular
early autumn textiles.
