FASHIONABLE FANcIEs.

GBECIAN lynx, a long haired, light.
coiored fur of yellowish tinge, will be
a very fashionable fur for trimming win.
ter cloaks and costumes.
VERY dressy bonnets are trimmed with
shaded flowers of velvet or chenille, both
inside and ont. Dark red and old-gold
tints are still the shades preferred.
YoUYa ladies have discarded bangs
and now wear the hair combed straight
back, with several small curls on either
side of the forehead.
TUCKED sleeves fitted very closely TO
the arms are seen upon number OF i'm
ported dresses of artistic, esthetic make.
The fabric must be soft and pliabie
when this style OF sleeve is adopted.
LADIES will do well this season to look
up their heirlooms in the shape of fancy
buckles and clasps, as ornaments of this
description are exceedingly fashionable.
Buckles, both little and large, of gold,
silver, jet, pearl or bronze, are worn
upon the dress, often in place Of buttons
GREEN is the favored color of the sea-
son. All tartans and Scotch plaids are
green or amber color. The hue of the
materials is enlivened by the fine
threads Of the plaid on the checked
ground. One of the newest combinations
is an amber shade, with Russian green
checks and light blue threads to form
the plaid.
KILLINGS, fiouncings, and panes,
paniers laid in soft folds over the hips
and carried back to form the full drapery
of the tournure, wrinkled apron tunics,
Grecian drapery, fully trimmed plastron
and tabllers, UNDERSTANDING fraises,
guimpes, shirrings, aud puffings, rich
fabrics and high colors, are each and all
fashions 10 be followed the on-coming
winter.
LARoE cloaks, presumably for travel
ing wear, are made of Tartan plaids OF
unusual size. These have long ribbon
streamers hanging down the back, and
and often depending from the sleeves as
well as the throat. The streamers are
sometimes of one color only; oitener they
are of two or three, repeating those most
prominent in the plaid.
SACaUEs of cream white Orient fan
mel, trimmed with full iabots and frills
of white lace and long looped satin rib.
bons, are worn with dark matinee skirts
at the breakfast table. A wrapper should
never be worn outside the boudoir. II
is now considered too familiar garment
for the breakfast table. Bath wrappers
of bed blankets, trimmed with the bor-
ders which finish the blanket at the
ends, are a welcome garment to invalids
on cold winter mornings.
THERE are some special points to be
particularly noted of the changes in the
construction of waists this season. The
back OF COZ sages, bodices or basques are
now neither very narrow nor very wide,
but exactly fitting the form, not drawing
back the front, but leaving it free and
full, that is, without any Of the con.
sumption contraction Of last year. The
waist potion is perfect fitting, but al.
lowed to be comfortable, in order to in-
sure that grace of motion that ease alone
gives. In the cut Of the skirt a grace
ful slope is given, not only to the foun-
dation, but to the trimming, whether il
be in pleatings, pnffs or rutiies. In some
costumes all three styles Of decorations
are combiUed; in others one or perhaps
twenty may be used. A black Jersey
waist OF cashmere wool is an excellent
finish to a costume made of black foule
cashmere. jersey waists are now always
buttoned with small flat silk buttons,
half an inch apart. Those for children
and misses are buttoned behind. None
of that peculiar garment which was
without fastening and was intended to
be sprung over the head are now sold.
