vhnt the Pickle Goddess Orders
for Winter Wear.
III. Change An the Winter Styles-Batiste
sui,es-Lone "Dorsay" RedinGotes-
Trimmings, Scarf, Drapercs, etc, etc.
There is TO be marked change in the
winter STYLES for skirts, which, however,
like all changes, will be gradual. The
principal variation consists in the way the
Skirts are 30 be draped. The most fashion,
able dressmakers' establishments have al
ready brought out some OF the new skirts.
They are draped in soft wavy folds from
the belt down, over every part, ana are
thus very easily made. The body OF the
skirt is cut in the usual way. The second
skirt is twice and hall as wide as the I'M
der one, and very long. Ii is gathered or
plated TO the belt, and fastened on the lower
part. where there is flounce or pull
ing of velvet or silk, in color contrasting
with the other part OF the dress. The full,
loose piece is then draped in lengthwise
plaits to the centre of the skirt and taken
back on either side in graceful folds. All
this fulneSs terminates near the hips,
where the goods is arranged in horizontal
plaits. There are many other ways OF
placing these plalts. Among Others one
can have the front OF the skirt from the
waist down trimmed with fat plaits which
start from either side to meet in the middle
and are fastened halfway down the
skirt. From this point the goods is taken
up to the hips, where it is opened and
draped. Batiste and cambria dresses have
velvet trimmings.
PINK BATISTE SUITS
have the skirts bordered with deep garnet
colored velvet 1Ounces. One OF these has
a skirt consisting OF two loose puliings
divided by band Of gaTnct-colored rib
bon velvet. On the border OF the waist Is
a similar velvet tied i'm the centre OF the
point and fastened under an old silver or
strass ornament. over the shirred plastron
in front of the waist are pieces OF ribbon
velvet placed on in V shape. Black-and-
white checked goods with gathered
founceS have on each OF these three rows
Of ribbon velvet about one inch and Il
half deep. white-checked goods
is much used. both for full-dress
and morning wear. The checks are in
all sizes. Handsome plaid tafletas are
again the style. This fabric is more adj
mirably adapted than any other to the pre-
sent fashions, as it gives certain round
ness to the drapingS, putlings, and panlerS
with which toilets are now covered. y
dress suitable for demi-SdiSOn wear is OF
fine checked grayiSh material. 1t has two
scarfS, draped in a pointed apron, and
trimmed with bands OF cream-colOTcd
nains0ok, with English embroidery. The
skirt is Of Russian green tatietas, trimmed
with three chicorGe plaitings. The waist
is OF gray goods. with vest and Orna-
mentS of dark green. This same model
may be made with a skirt OF seal, garnet,
or nayy-blue.
LONG "DORsAY" REDINGOTES
will serve for autumn wear. They have
very long skirts, open down the front and
back, aud fitting tightly to the figure. The
trimmings consist of brandebOurgs and
passementericS of black silk. The same
garment will also serve for winter Use, in
which case ii will be of cloth trimmed with
deep bands Of fur and " Brummel" col
lar. For autumn wear the redingotes will
also be of silk matelasse" goods in such
colors as seal and iron-gray. They
have q stamp of genuine elegance, and
are particularly desirable, inasmuch as
they never will become common. a very
careful arrangement OF skirt and tournure
is necessary under this garment. TOurnures
are rather wider than they have been, and
consequently larger. Petticoats have full
trimmings OF lace and flOunceS. Skirt
tOurnurcS are worn between the pettic0at
and skirt, making the latter set out, while
the former falls over the feet. BY making
any other arrangement the effect would be
very bad.
Bows are to be among the
FAyORITE WINTER TRIMMINGS.
There are great variety OF rosettes now
made They are generally OF wOOllen goods
when the dresses are OF woollen and silken
goods mixed. The roScttes may also be OF
silk to correspond with the bias bands and
trimming on the suit. \ number OF cos
tunes are Of black-green and Russian
green India cachcmrc or yelling. Many
OF The velvet waists already alluded to are
now worn over light skirts. Cloth also
serves for this purpose. a suitable style
for an autumn suit consists OF "redin-
gote Brummel' with cachemire or silk
skirt. On the lower part of the skirt
is a rather deep and very full putting,
which is placed over double-plaited bala-
ycuse OF the same goods. The apron is Of
drGpcd cachemirc, arranged in four plaitS,
and taken back TO form between the ends
of the rcdingote Il double full putting.
The redingOte is OF fine cloth, with the long
ends on either side bordcred with sOutachc
embroidery. Tie short basque is pointed
in front and has embroidery all the way
down. On the sides are small pockets.
/ The back forms four 1uted plaitS, settin.
up, as il were, against the putlings OF the
| skirt. The sleeves are very tlght-ttting.
