FASHIONABLE FANosEs.

Wnrrn and pale pink bonnets are
most worn ut receptions.
BLACK velvet shoes, laced with golden
or silver cords and with an elnbroidery
Of gold or silver thread, will be fashion-
able this winter. and are novelty.
WHITE nuns cloth, white Ursuline
and white drap d'ete are made into
charming evening dresses with silver
fringe trimmings, or bands OF white
silk gimps and white chenille fringe.
THERE are several new combinations
OF color; olive Ii associated with plum
and old gold, myrtle with golden brown,
deep green with drab, and garnet with
pearl-gray.
New and beautiful semi-long pisites
of black velvet, brocaded with fine gold
leaves, are imported. Tney are lined
with gold-colored satin sublime, and
trimmed with broad bands of black zib-
linette, sprinkled with tiny fecks Of
gold.
VELVET dresses are made very plain
as far a. the corsage and train are con-
cerned, but there il q fancy for having
contrasting petticoat fronts to brighten
up dark velvets, such as pale blue MORE
with the darkest green velvet, and
shrimp pink, with golden brown or with
terra Gotta red velvet.
The very fashionable Camargo bodices
are peaked in front, are extremely long,
and to them are shirred or otherwise
fastened fall tunics or panniers, the
pufs often forming portion OF the
trimming in the back. When the bodice
ia peaked behind, wide Louis Quinze
scarf is added, which is usually made OF
heavy MORE silk.
A NEW model for cloak il the
i" Levite," . long clinging garment, gen.
orally made of cashmere, vigogne, or
cloth. The front lappels are thrown
back after the manner Of soldiers cloaks
when marching. The wrap opens wide
| in the neck, revealing q cravat fastened
with q pin like those worn by GENTLE
men.
SHORT skirts are deliberately trimdied
to distinguish them from trains, which
are very plain. Satin surah short
dresses, canary yellow, salmon pink or
sky blue, have three founces Of the
material edged with d'Aurillac lace, two
| fingers deep, and these cover the skirt
up to the hips, where bouffant panier
is placed.
A DAINTY dress recently worn at a
wedding reception was Of soft pink
surah, with garniture of pink pond
lilies; the basque was outlined with the
flowers, and about the high neck was a
dog collar of lily leaves with one full
blown lily in front and pendants. 1t
was an exquisite affair, and was de-
signed by the wearer.
/ NEWMARKET jackets, or handsome
surcoats Of French ladies' cloth of in
visible green, trimmed with plush, are
worn over skirts OF Farquharson plaided
surah, or rich broche in subdued colors.
Redingote Johns of dark green satin
sublime are also seen. They are very
long. and are trimmed with wide bands
OF fur. The skirts worn beneath them
call foa but simple trimming around
the bottom.
The innumerable shades and combine
tions OF colors have dissipated many old
ideas in regard to what is and what is
not becoming to different types Of
beauty, fair and dark. The blonde is
not now confined to blue, the brunette to
pink aud yellow. the grades are 90 many;
the high colors have been so blended and
softened that there are few colors that
cannot be worn by every lady who has
intelligence and taste enough to adapt
them to her own personality.
