Jerseys will be generally worn through.
out the autumn.
Corssge boquets for evening wear are
larger than ever.
Nobody wears artificial flowers nowadays,
but natural ones are employed for immense
corsage boquets.
Dress sleeves are still worn so as to
closely fit the arm, and are padded when
the arms are not plump and shapely.
A novelty for quilted underskirts to be
worn next winter appears in the shape of
foulard silk, with dark ground, and the
pattern in bright colors.
French shoes are laced in front and must
match the dress in color; this has brought
Russia leather into favor for red shoes,
and there are also many fawn.colored and
blue kid shoes worn with black stockings.
A stylish dress for a little girl is in plain
Gilbert sacking, with side plated skirt.
The waist is in the form of q cutaway

In England wigs are worn great deal to
save dressing ones own hair. There is a
wig known as the yachting wig" with
ripples and curls on the forehead and a
small fat knot at the back. Then there is
a wig to be worn for lawn-tennis work.

Cloaks are to be worn long this season,
and are made high up on the shoulders,
many of them with small dolman shaped
sleeves. The most elegant are of Ottoman
satin, lined with plush, and richly figured
and embroidered plush, lined with quilted
satin. Others, less expensive, are in dag
onal cloth, that requires no lining, and is
simply trimmed more or less elaborately
with braid.
Although no success has attended the
effort to reintroduce the old-fashioned
hustle, tournure of some kind is indis.
pensable to the fit of well-made tailor
suit. Flounced petticoats are worn for
this purpose, or series of little horsehair
| flounces are mounted upon whalebone
frames to serve the purpose, and are found
more suitable than either the horsehair
cushion or extension skirt. As skirts are
not made very full there is not elegance in
spreading them out.
Hair-dressing, according to those who are
conversant with the subject, is to be more
elaborate this season than last, and wide
loose braids, falling low on the nape of the
neck, are replacing the tight coil and
Grecian knot. The old-fashioned French
twist of our mothers days, too, has been
revived, as well as the two long ringleta
falling on the neck. Japanese coils are
worn upon dressy occasions, as this style
of coiffure affords good opportunity for
the wearing of handsome pins and other
| favorite ornaments. With the Josephine
braids and puffs feathers are much worn,
sometimes confined with stars and butter
flies formed of sparkling gems. Feather
tips, flowers and diamonds are all more or
less worn.

| gram says in relation to the styles in hats ::
Here are three new hats that were noted
at the salon yesterday. A toque of black
tulle, embroidered with Pompadour sprigs Of
| bright flowers in front; a large, loosely
looped rosette of Rose Dubarry ribbons,
| and in the midst of that richly jeweled
| OWLS head. A Henri ". hat of yellowish,
long pile beaver, the brim fat and narrow,
on one side nest of mice forming bow.
A blue soft felt hat, on which is placed a
bird with open wings, and from under the
bow emerges kittens head. The demand
for kittens heads has become SO important
that cat breeding has become a regular
business. Pigeons wings and cocks heads
are also much worn, and the muff of the
season will be velvet or plush, to match
the dresses, with kitten or hirondelle de
mer on the front.
