Fashion Items.

Dog collars of velvet, silver, pesrl
and jet are again in high vogue.
Novel French Matelasse goods are
shown, with silk broche figures in Louis
NH. designs.
Dark Egyptian red Babet Jackets
heavily braided are the favorite au-
.tumn wraps for little girls.
New ball dresses of white Victoria
silk have the skirts covered with three
deep flounces of pointed lace.
! Short ostrich tips and smooth feath-
ers of every kind are preferred this
season to the sweeping plumes so long
worn.
Softly-puffed crowns and killed brims
are the features of some of the newest
round hats and bonnets of black vel
vet.
Ottoman silk bodices, made to fit like
Jersey waists of silk stockinette, are
worn with skirts of silk, satin and vel
vet.
j Velveteen is much worn by the first
people of both English and French So
ciety, but the velveteen is also of the
''first quality"
Straightcoats in old surtout style are
shown, made of black satin sublime
lined with ruby plush and trimmed
with chenille applique bands and bran
debourgs
Trimmings for the new autumn wraps
are exceedingly varied and beautiful,
including magnificent designs in APP
plique, of velvet, chenille, and plush,
costly black laces in Spanish, Flemish,
gdipure, and purely fanciful patterns,
rich and elaborate passementeries, silk
cords, tassels, pendants, and buckles
and slides of innumerable sizes, quail
ties, shapes and prices.
Among fall novelties in neck-wear
are ottoman silk scarfs, woven in odd
antique patterns showing an artistic in
termingling of scarlet, green, bronze
and bright gold. These scarfs are to
be fastened up close in the throat out
side the street jacket, and are tied in the
same manner as the steenkirk of white
lace, worn two years ago-a style of
neck-dressing closely initiating that
worn by noblemen and gentlemen in
the reign of Charles II.
Many OF. the newest pelerines are
opened on the shoulders and strapped
across with tiny bands and buckles, or
buttons with cords laced in and out.
Others are draped on one shoulder,
then carried over and fastened on the
other with bow, and floating ends of
satin ribbon run through gold or
silver slide. There are also graduated
capes, the edge of each finished with
a delicate vine pattern in embroidery
or braiding in fine arabesque designs.
Very handsome and expensive belts,
called Anne of Austria girdles, are inn
ported from Boucheron, the great
manufacturer of Partisan jewelry.
These belts are formed entirely of semi
precious stones arranged in continuous
spray of tiny flowers and buds, which
reaches around the waist and fastens in
front underneath large blossom set
amid number of brilliant-hued leaves
formed of gorgeous and glittering gems.
Broad dog collars and spiral bracelets,
hoop earrings. sash buckles and Jewell
headed pins for the hair, to correspond,
are also imported, and the parure entire
is quite beyond the reach of an ordinary
pocket-book.
The following model for an autumn
wrap comes from London designer.
The material is black velvet rocaded
ottoman silk, showing heavy cord as
a background to the raised figures in
velvet. Down the front and around
the throat are set wide bands of black
chenille and cut jet intermingled, and
from each side of these bands falls a
full jabot of real Spanish lace. The
shape of this mantle is exceedingly
becoming to slender figure, as the
chenille trimming around the neck is
made quite full, thus forming a deep
collar. Fitting quite snugly to the
waist, as it does, there would be a want
of the needful fullness necessitated by
the tournoure, were this not added by
means of invisible plaits adjusted just
below the waist inside.-N T. Ecening
