FASHIONABLE FANOlEs.

ARA sENE embroidery makes most
stylish trimming for cashmere dress.
It is very quickly done black upon
black or white upon white, or any sell
color produces very rich effect.
TIE dark, rich reds coming into the
autumn styles are becoming to both
blondes and brunettes. It has been
stated "there is no color which more
splendidly reveals tue beauty of the
blonde than q dark velvety shade Of
crimson"
SLEEVES to be pretty should be short
and tight. The trailleur-shaped waist
worn with plain lingerie is the only st> lie
admitting rather long sleeve. The
arm size must be cut with great care, as
it should sit well over the shoulder and
not fall upon the upper part of the arm.
T0URN1ERs are neither larger n,,r
smaller than they have been. The pc TIL
coats against which they are made are
perfectly fiat in front, with the narrow
piece down the back covered with
aounces placed one above the other.
They become wider toward the lower
part, and are trimmed with lace. The
object of this petticoat is to throw the

The "Yankee is the name of a
French bonnet that has a good. sized
brim and is shaped with either conical
or soft round crown, around which l.; a
shirring of surah and wreath of bright
colored flowers. One OF the sweetest"
of these "sweet" little "Yankee b,fr-
nets is made of gold-colored straw, inetl
inside with a shirriDg of ruby satin aud
trimmed outside with wreath of fine
field flowers. The strings to these bou-
nets tie behind.
NOVEL French mantles are made of
black mervellieux, or canvas 9renadine,
cut as rather long shoulder cape, with
q boarder of chenille fringe glittering
with jet, silver, or mixture OF colored
beads. The cape forms Y shape open
ing in front, followed by two finely plat
ed scarfs of fancy silk starting from the
shoulder cores, and contracted at the
waist by a number of close shirrings;
thence these scarfs cross and fall over
the tapered ends of the cape.
Browns of every shade, and green's
ranging from the greenery- yallery" of
the aesthetic to the darkest and most in
visible green's, will undoubtedly be the
reigning favorites during the approach
ing season; and as regards style, the
present Indications are that few, if any,
dresses will he worn with fiat trimmings
the more bouffant the better. Dress
makers, by means Of panniers, puffs, full
scarf draperies, ruches. and other sources
at their command, contrive to make
fashionable costumes as intricate and i'm
possible to follow as possible; and the
fuller the effect the greater the triumph.
HANDSOME and costly buttons are a
great feature of walking dresses and
travelling costumes, and as they can be
transferred from one dress to another,
they are really not extravagant pur-
chases in the end. Tortoise shell but
tons, with crests or monograms in gold,
enameled buttons in Mauresque or Flor
entine styles are effective and look well
on bottle-green, Havane, or prune-col-
ored dresses. Wooden and horn but
tons are also worn and small round
French gold buttons grelets with
rough surfaces, are plentifully used on
bodices, cuffs and pockets. Jet mosaic
buttons, with monograms inlaid in let
on colored grounds and jet border, are
thoroughly elegant.
