New YORK, Nov. 9.-When Jersey Lily
walks abroad in plain blue cloth suit, or
binary mortAls may do the same. This is
precisely what ordinary mortals are doing,
save that not only blue, but green, brown,
garnet and all other fashionable colors are
thus shown forth. Then again must the
Jersey Lily be held responsible for tight
fitting jackets that complete these tailor
made suits. Absolutely simple and with
out combinations save at times perhaps a
military braiding. Jersey webbing has
gone up in price and while pretty Mrs.
Langtry is here, we may anticipate a run
upon all manner of Jersey everythings,
from the bonnet on the head to the shoe
on the foot. Exactly who is responsible
for the sudden incoming (outcoming
would be the better phrase) of ''ruchings,"
know not, but certain it is they are here.
Quite tide of ruchings, or as a punster
might express it, a ''ruching tide,'' sweeps
over us. Redingotes on redingotes of
wool, you see finished with ruchings to
match around the edges, Chiefly of plain
wool, yet unique ones are of wool wherein
are displayed large flowers
in subdued shades trimmed by
ruchings of plain wool. As yet these last
mentioned have an air of distinction but
likely enough twill not be for long. Al
most anybody can afford such inexpensive
outfit. What anybody can do, everybody
does; then nobody wants what anybody
and everybody may have. Vanish the red
ingotes; they go to keep company with the
pins-lost and gone no one knows where.
MY PRETTY Red ROSE.
1 scarce can proceed without a word
more as to the Jersey Lily. rose,
should rather call her, and pretty rather
than beautiful. A beautiful, genuinely Eng
fish complexion; beautiful blue eyes and
brown hair SIMPLIFY dressed; showing off
a perfectly shaped head. Beautiful teeth
and now am done with the beautifuls. A
mouth somewhat too large and nose far
from pei bet. But a fine presence, grace
full carriage and fascinating manner
which leads captive the newspaper report
CTS. Being men, they more readily fall
victims, PROSTATE at cher feet, ditto the
newspapers. AS said before, the term
rose seems more appropriate than lily for
her complexion is high-colored and
we're it not so very delicate, might be i'm
piously termed red. 1 bethink me now,
however, that led astray by the beauty Of
the day, had forgotten the subject matter
-ruchings. To make one, take strip of
goods from about three to six inches wide:
pink both edges, then box plat in the mid
die and behold the object Of your desire.
Run around necks and on the fronts of
dresses, an admirable device for the filling
out of thin figures and not so likely to
tire the eye because worn chiefly indoors
Then, too, they are a favorite edging
around the bottom of skirts; often seen in
rich material. Circumstances alter cases:
moreover, that which wearies the vision
here where such countless multitudes 90
by, is often most acceptable in smaller
places where there is not too oft repetition
Ruchings In themselves are both pretty,
novel and unusually becoming; yet beware,
my good friends of too ample proportion,
how yon adopt style that adds rather
than subtracts. Perhaps it is providen-
tial for you that this very moment, look
ing up from my task, I saw go by
redingote edged with fat, side plaitings
The first have seen, but given one, others
follow. Behold sure refuge for too
plump figures.
ORDER IN DISORDER.
''Others follow" Surely they do. We
talk of Fashions caprice, yet here there is
a marshaling of force that reminds one of
some military organization. Certain ideas
lead; others come after; one thing fits into
another; details are looked into with the
nicely of an army drill. Take for exam
pie the department of color. You choose
dress of some fashionable shade; every
where you find the same or harmonizing
hues. Millinery, trimmings, buttons, each
accessory, is brought out in keeping. Nay,
even your spool of Clark's Mile End cotton
comes as you would have it; the little
thread even, dyed to suit each prevailing
hOS' ooAO ~ AOA AnAAVCu yOu use tulS
brand; you ought to if you do not. I'm
approachable as to strength, elasticity and
smoothness, those who habitually employ
it will have no other. while the number of
modistes to whom it is an important fac
tor in the making of elegant costumes, is
innumerable. Doubtless the great care
taken as to a correspondence with all fash
ionable colors has much also to
do with the large sales, since
this seasons colors are peculiar.
Touched by aesthetic hands, there are special
blendings, such as olive bronze, terra cot
ia, Venetian bronze, electric blue, crushed
strawberry and wine. Navy blue is as of
old; seal brown is as standard as black.
while we still see cardinal which cannot be
given up.
RIBS AND REPS.
The familiarity that breeds contempt
seems about to to overtake satin. But it
fingers, fingers, fingers, 10th to go. We
10th to part from it. Even in its downfall
mot yet accomplished casting rays which
affect in character the rivals by which it
