Fashion Notes.

square anu CduSlI up on the lett SIDE,
the other full, short, rounded, and much
Topped over the hips-are seen upon the
| latest importations from Paris.
Cunning little low-necked, short
sleeved dresses for children are made
of pink, blue, and strawberry sateen,
surah. chambery, or linen, embroidered
or plain, over plated waists of white
muslin or guimpes with sleeves.
New autumn cheViots, tweeds, serges,
and basket cloths are mostly in plaids,
| in even or irregular patterns, and in
| quiet neutral tones of fawn color, nuns
| gray, pale golden brown, and the like,
enlivened by stripes or dashes of scarlet
and gold.
Among the most popular of Watering
| place dresses appear a variety of Gre
| tonnes and foulards with very light
| ground and designs, in the conventional
| floral style designated as the 'sRenais-
sanse." Cream-color is the one excep-
| ton to this temporary rule. In wooIlens
| it is used as a foundation for paysan
| bouquets. OF for the more severe designs
of flowers and fruit, such as fare seen
upon bits of Louis XIII. tapestry.
The number of mantles of thin bro
caded materials upon transparent
ground has notably increased of late.
| These materials are chiefly brocaded
silk gauze, with raised designs in silk,
velvet, or of finest silk grenadine in
raised patterns of satin. The mantles
are in the shape of pelerines, large
| fichus, or elegant pelisses. They are
| lined with gold, maNve, or scarlet surah,
| and the effect is exceedingly rich and
stylish.
One Of the prettiest and newest berthas
for the summer is of tinted India silk
null, upon he border of which are APP
| pliqued natural-size flowers and foliage
cut from piece Of velvet brocade.
One in the Stuart shape is made of pale
violet-tinted null, upon which are ap-
| pliqued large pansies of purple and gold
velvet. Another, in delicate pink is
| bordered with dark rose-colored buds
! covered with velvet moss, and sur
rounded with dark-green velvet leaves.
For lawn-tennis suits, especially in
! vogue during September, round waists,
or snug-fitting basques, with zouave
! jacket outside, will be very popular.
| With the round waist will be worn the
charming little gypsy fchus of painted
or stamped muslin in two colors of
crimson and and cream, almond and
| pale blue, or willow-green ground
! painted or stamped with blush roses.
The fichu laps at the belt in front, and
is crossed or knotted in the back. It is
edged with lace, or with plated frills of
the muslin.
Dress skirts are growing decidedly
fuller and wider, and this decided ten
dency to bouffant styles has, as history
plainly reveals, been almost invariably
the forerunner of crinoline, and crino-
line we are to have unless scores of man

hitherto idle forces and begun the work
anew of making hoop-skirts, have
listened to a delusive rumor of their
coming popularity. It is surprising as
well as amusing to note the remarks of
| importers and modistes upon this sub
juct, their opinions being as varied as
the present weather.
English manufacturers have secured
a novelty in black goods, the fabric be-
ing fine wool made to closely resem-
BILE the best of Grape. 1t is firm, eX-
ceedingly durable and glossy, but with
out the elasticity Of Grape. It is called
Grape imperial, and is likely to find a
| large and lasting sale, as it has all the
effect of Grape proper, without the dis
advantage Of that material, being quite
! imperviOus to dampness, and guaran-
teed to wear as long as cashmere or
any other woollen fabric. It is appro-
pirate either for trimming or an entire
costume.
The variety of the seasons dress ma
terials is endless, and SO, for the matter
of that, is the variety of colors, only
regarding colors there is a limit, for
| although there are more bewildering
hues and tones in the shop windows
than one could give a name to, only a

and abroad are very fashionable-gra
in all shades, French, slate, electric,
Quaker, and soft and beautiful nuns
gray-aIl are worn. These colors ap-
pear in dresses of tulle, garnished with
garlands of scarlet roses or peoples,
and in silk, satin. and foulard, sOftened
with trimmings of lace, either white or
black.
The tailor-made dresses are to be more
than ever the fashion the coming sea-
son. Ladies possessing good figures
know that their perfect fit shows the
form to the finest advantage, and those
less favored by Nature are also aware
that there is nothing like a slightly
rough-surfaced fabric to give an in
creased look to the size of their slender
arms and shoulders Some of these
suits are made up in the severest style,
white others are remarkably jaunty and
picturesque, with cutaway jackets and
crimson serge waistcoats in old Conti-
mental style, large pocket flaps adorned
with bright buttons in old medal de-
signs, and deep panelled skirts, over
which are draped the shartest and nat
test of short tunics, piped with Grim
