A witty communication upon the

difference between the picture of a
medieval saint and modern fashion
able sinner.
Narrow braid, in silver or god, is
much used for trimming cloth dresses of
a monochrome color. Ever so little Of
this garniture goes great way in effect.
An unsparing use of it is gaudy in the
extreme.
Lace fiounces and frills, and also mus
lin embroideries, look we'll when placed
over thin colored materials, such as
batiste and India muslin. The tone
given by these semi-transparent fabrics
is much more delicate than where silk is
employed rs a foundation.
A new and extremely beautiful shade
of golden brown promises to eclipse all
other colOrs in popular favor for au-
tumn dinner or carriage costumes. In
dresses of satin and velvet,
this color in its most golden hue for the
satin fabrics, and deeper shade for the
velvet, formsa most ladylike and effect,

Some of the new autumn walking
costumes of tweed are decidedly mas
culine in style, showing white under
waistcOat, cutaway coat, fastened just
below the chest with one button, Il
standing collar with round gold collar
button, linen cuffs held together by
large gold links or huge cutf-buttOnS,
and, browning all, jaunty English,
low-crowned derby hat, devoid of trim
ming of any sort. Many English girls

Gloves are as long a. ever, and the
tan-cOlored variety are still worn with
full evening dress. This odd fashion is
far from the purest or best taste, but
nevertheless it is in the hight Of style,
and we are aware what violent objec-
tons and fierce criticisms may be over
ruled by this magical assurance.
Critically, however, these gloves, dark
and ugly in shade, and looking especial
" go when worn in CONNECTION with pure
white and other delicate evening toilets,
are really neither appropriate, becom-
ming, nor pretty.
Extremely light summer cashmere is
much used as tlOunces or knitting over
silk foundations. The flounceS are
often arranged in wide, hollow plaits,
very much open at the foot of the skirt,
so as to show the bright lining OF
contrasting color. Around the bottom
of others there is thick ruche of the
cashmereSinedFith silk. In the lat
ter case the panierS are of cashmere,
faced lYith silk, and the bodice is of
silk, with cashmere neutrality-suspicious.,
or vest, collar, and reverS. A small
cashmere pelerine completes the Cos
tune, andTenders any extra mantle UNI
necessary.
II is believed by the best authorities
that many of the new costumes this fall
will be made of single fabrics, and that
the combinations will not appear, ex-
cepting as perhaps trimming for rich
materials. Velvets, for example, will
be trimmed with satin or gold cord, but
only in moderate quantities. The gold
intersected fabrics will doubtless be used
to combine with wool-gold and silver
being so very rich and distinguished an
element in the new brocades. The thin
damasses have had their day, anil We
do not advise their purchase. When
the price of goods becomes very much
reduced, and they are exposed in long
lines on the counters of dealers, they
may be considered as having reached q
crisis in their destiny, for the time, at
least, and to be nearing dissolution. This
remark, however, does not apply to the
small-figured, reversible fabrics, which
are always good wear, and just now are
used with distinction in conjunction
