NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Your fall bonnet
will probably be of felt or velvet, or if you
wish to be especially stylish, you may or
der it of tufted silk, of which more hersaf-
ter. Either the entire bonnet or in the
trimmings thereof let such peculiar fancy
be shown forth. Wool trimmings TO
match the costume is another novelty for
q felt hat or bonnet, and as consequence
we may look for some extremely neat yet
| stylish outfits where harmony throughout
and the absence of showinsss will admirably
adapt them to street wear. The fashion
ablsness of reps becomes very apparent
in millinery and SO we have Ottoman
reppsd silks, uncut velvet with large reps
and ribbed silks from large graduated to
snail. II is almost needless to add that
repped ribbons will be much used, the
most fashionable showing in widths Of
from two to three inches, plain velvet On
one side and rspped on the other, or velvet
on enc side with reverse of satin. Bat
newer than anything are the tufted ribbons,
and handsome effects will accrue from
employing these as bindings around the
edges of hats or bonnsts.
BEADS AND FEATHERS.
Beads are exaggerated and in fancifu
forms, suoh as pears and other fruits,
gesmetrical figures, Imitation spikes, etc.,
while the peculiar lightings up of tortoise
shell go far likewise towards unique results
although agrsat proportion Of beads be-
| ing of jet serve rs dark shaAings to bring
tho brighter colorings of the picture.
| Feathers are in immense demand and in
every grsdation frsA the entire hat or
bonnet Of than will take aniaportantrsnk
in millinery. Feather bands will give q
| coveted finish On felt, velvet or other ma
tsrial, q fsathersd crown may serve a. an
offset to lighter surroundings, while there
is an abundant supply of wings
| heads, breasts and entire
birds among which swallows are psrtieu-
larly sought after. Groiesque little imi-
tation birds are made up Of feathers and
the eye rests saussdly on such small bur-
lssques as rooster not three inches lsng,
pea fewls scarce larger, displaying with
natural vanity genuine iplunags,
ETC., ETC., each of these
minute specimens being provided
with pin by which they can be stuck at
pleasure whore fancy may diotxts. No
sapriee, however, can displaoss from pre-
| eminencs the refined attractions Of ostrich
plumage, and as hitherto, this really indis-
/ pensabls styls of ornamsntation holds the
place of honor.
We shall certainly have quite small
bonnsts again and they will be leading, al
though there are pskss for the minority
who like then. Young ladies will wear
| turbans In several varieties, English
walking hats or perhaps fhs jockey cap
| bonnet which il put UPON the market as an
! experiment, while with those who wish
broad brim the GaipsboIoughs will be
| Dspalar. It Is significant too of the proph-
esied change in the dressing Of the hair,
| that much Of the new millinery 10 made
with a view to accommodating the coil en-
the top of tas head. Prophets, neverths-
less, sometimes prophecy falsely. Often
| there are threatened changes that do not
| occur. As yet the greater number of ladies
| prefer the low coil, but full Inauguration
OF winter styles may bring about the CEN
templated Transformation which is now
uncertain. Uncertainties, however, are
few compared with the csrtainties one
familiar with the changes of dress can
| predict. Indeed the question has been
wonderingly put to me as to how 1t is pos
sible to know beforehand what IL to be.
Te the penwoman Of experience there il
many trivality significant Of much that
by the ordinary observer is unnotieed. For
the rest one needs but & prenonition Of
what some great importing house, sush as
Lord d Taylor for example, is bringing
out. Thus an apparently complex matter
is simplifed and predictions grow conpar-
atively easy.
ROUGH WINTER.
OF that We are sure. The rougher your
dress, the more stylish you will be. Tened
| down, it is true, by intsrmixtures of q
plain surfaced fabric, but it is the rough
material which will give the style Of the
outfit. In accordance with the above, we
see also roughly woven bands to be laid
upon plain goods in the way of trim
ming, and those managing souls whs know
how to serve up dish second hand with
all the freshness of recent cookery, will
have an opportunity to metamorphose q
last years dress by touches of rough stuff.
Now, when say ''rough'' mean it, for
many of these materials are woven with
long loops like Astrakhan cloth and some
times excellent effects accrue from the aa-
dition of a silken point of color shining
prettily through it's overhanging loop; eff
fective contrasts being carefully brought
about by manufacturers. Other very sty-
fish materials, however, are less pro-
nounced but in order to be stylish, are fall
of inequalities, which, at a glance, cause
them to look coarse, Bat when
touched, they are soft and too high priced
to become common. To numerous per-
sons, nevertheless, these goods will be un-
adapted, and even when suitable one de-
sires change, SO we find fashionable Co.'S
tunes made entirely of plain cashmere,
cameps hair or other unpretentious but al
ways desirable fabrics; not as formerly
combined with brocades, but where adern-
ment is wished for touched up with bows
of velvet or perhaps some velvet combina-
ton. Since, the commoner brocades are
hardly seen. They have had their day, and
it has been shortened from the fact that q
brocade, unless in the best material, does
not wear SO we'll as the plain goods.
Note farther that the roughness just
mentioned is for the most part confined to
woods. Silk is too costly to be experiment.
