Shall class among rough materials
those charming goods on exhibition now,
| where plain surface is bestrewn at
short intervals with delicately tapering
leaves connected to the fabric only by the
stem? THIS is a roughness not at all
rough but full of delicate possibilities yet
certainly these productions OF the loom
are not smooth as to face. The leaves
! just mentioned are in piars and from that
up to groups of four or five that show with
star like effect and have just about space
enough between to set them off. OF che
Mile on a ground work Of wool, quite
small and of the Same color or in hand
some contrasts to the material they diver
sify. These pretty novelties, however, are
manifestly suitable only as touches to re-
lieve the costume and piece of plain
goods is an invarieble companionship.
Thus model outfit in preparation for a
daughter of Judge Hilton, has high
shoulder cape of the leafy goods while up
on one side of the skirt broad dash of
the Same appears. The remainder is of
fine wool matching in color deep wood
brown. Less striking but handsome
enough are woods bestrewn with velvet
blocks of greater or less size and disposed
with regularity, land this gives the key note
| to what will be extremely prominent in
dress this Winter-namelY, velvet. You
can scarce misplace it while the new
| 'sBaveno'' velveteen is rapidly being ap-
preciated as substitute for Genoa velvet,
which it closely resembles in purity Of
| color, thickness of surface, closeness and
depth of pile. For jackets it is admirable,
and stylish suits for children as we'll as
adults are made in novel shades of ruby,
gray, brown, plume, blue-gray and copper
mascot. Bison cloths have Immediately
| taken high rank and will be considerd very
stylish. They are fieecy class of woods;
almost as feecy as Canton fannel,an there
is generally shown plain and figured
| piece side by side which are to be made up
together. The figure is rather pronounced
| and shows cloudy through its downy
| covering.
WINGED HATS.
Hats have taken to themselves wings.
Any ether season, the style in which they
are often disposed, would have been set
down as lunacy or child's play, but this
winter such freaks are stylish because per-
petrated by stylish n1illiners. Groups Of
greater or less size are much affected, there
icing 10 rule as to position since at times
they are prolonged in succession like
bands or again may stand stiff and star
ipgIy urrighs Sometimes there are vary
ing shades of one color or extreme con-
trasts are broEght shout, such es bright
orange coloTet wing next s. peacock blue,
etc. Noticeable likewise are groups of quite
ANAL wings projecting from centre with
briar like appearance; G. pompon nodding
above while 'hummipg birds with out
stretched wings and projecting beaks are
punched with heads together so as to pro-
duce similar result. Bat g wing Or wings
under any circumstances seem acceptable
this season, as for example where two
small white wings stand upright sentinels
on either side of q black velvet bow, which
gives finish to the front Of tUrban. Still
more like child's play VS. find from three
or four single wing feathers up to greater
numbers, stuck on in a capricious way.
Occasionally these single feathers are large
and brightly colored Or gilded, but quite
small ones are also pressed into service.
Another curious feature Is the reckless
combining of wings Of birds and ostrich
plumage. Hitherto We have thought the
employment of one, precluded the other,
but this winter our miIlin.rs have decided
20 the contrary, and OF course we must
think as they do. Thus
IL is common to see birds
or parts of birds half hidden by overtop-
ping ostrich feathers or wings staring
stitiy from equally soft surroundings etc.,
etc. Capota bonnets are in great ma
jority and provided with strings about two
inches and half wide. But these mani
festly are too small for the combinations
just mentioned or for special display of
any pronounced ideas which find scope on
poke bonnets or brimmed hats. strik-
ing novelty among the latter is a shape
having q medium wide brim standing
straight around; the crown very.fwide in
circumference and in height initiating 4
mans dress hat. This is trimmed with
band or bands which lead to @ pronounced
finish or one side such as g large wing,
group OF wings with pompon, nodding
bunch of tips, etc. Worn by the right per
sou, this Will De very distinguished hat
but should the wrong person. get holdI of
one, Gas undoubtedly will happen) woe be-
tide. Imagine stout, puffy little woman
wearing one Of them. TIE thought alone
causes horror. They viii suit rather youth
faI ladies of fine figure and regular feat
ures. The most careless observer OF mil
hnery must remark the prominence of
gray.
WHO SHOULD WEAR GRAY.
The prettiest woman I encountered in
my summers travels, wore complete outfit
of gray: A travelling suit OF gray silk,
hat to match securely bound around
with gray veil; gray gloves
Pretty es picture looked The wearer, be
cause from underneath that bonnet peeped
forth tbs loveliest pink and white complex
ion you ever saw. There YVES the ''be-
o4use" which settled the whole thing. Con-
trast gave the finishing touch, tho sombre
gray setting of the color,ngs so exquis-
iteiy painted by natures hand; the fresh
cheeks all the fresher-fresh Is Mrs.
Langtry's. A bride, evidently, while her

ton, had by no uAkindness caused a touch
