Fashion Wrinkles.

Electric blue, hussar blue and moss greens
are on the cards for the fall.
The hair, to be fashionsbly dressed, must
fall low on the neck in braids or coils, and
over the forehead IN loose, airy curls or
rings.
The orchis red and the brownish CHINA
mon red will be favored next season. These
shades give promise Of becoming very popu-
lar in the richer loom productions.
Arrasene embroidery makes a 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.
Req is the fsVorite color at present for
children's frocks. 1t rivals the white
dresses formerly used for little girls, and
appears in some guise in almost every toilet
Of the season.
The most useful travelling gloves are not
the Gants de Suede, which soil directly, but
thick Ordinary kid OF the natural ecru color,
without buttons, but Of six buttoned length,
brought outside the sleeve.
Shoes that are laced In front and tipped
with patent leather are in great favor. Low
shoes are entirely of patent leather and are
worn with black hosiery. Slippers OF kid
are cut low on the toes and are without
ornament. Canvas shoes are worn in the
country for long wal ks and mountain climb
ing Pointed toes and high heels meet
with the protest of ali good shoemakers, as
they are of permanent injury to the feet.
Most novel is the "Connaught" costume,
which is composed of sapphire blue foulard
and trimmed with eeru or cream-eolored
lace. The skirt trimmed with two founces
OF the Breton lace, divided by puff of the
material, is finished at the bottom with
a narrow box pleated flounce. The polo
naise of sapphire blue is fitted well to the
figure; the drapery is crossed at the side and
finished ct the back with a pulled and
rounded end, and edged with lace. The
bodice is buttoned down in front; the che
misette and ruMes at the wrists are com
posed Of ecru Indian muslin.
. Browns Of every shade, and greens ranging
from the 'fgreenery-Ys llery" Of the ssthetic
to the darkest and most invisible greens,
will undoubtedly be reigning favorltes dur
ing the approaching season; and as regards
style, the present indications are that but
few, If any, dresses will be worn with fiat
trimmings-the more boutfant the better.
rsssmskers, by means of paniers, puffs,
full scarf draperies, ruches, and other re-
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 great
feature OF walking dresses and travelling
costumes, and as they can be transferred
from one dress to another, they are really
not extrsvagant purchases in the end. Tor
toise shell buttons, with crests or mono
grams in gold, enameled buttons in Mau-
rescue or Florentine styles, are effective and
look well on bottle green, Havane, or prune
colored dresses Wooden and horn buttons
are also worn, and small, round French gold
buttons-'grelotsn- rough surfaces,
are plentifully used on bodices, cuffs and
pockets. Jet mosaic buttons with mono
grams inlaid in jet on colored groundsIand
let border, are thoroughly elegant.
