Grays browns and indefinite shades

Rumor reaches America that the most
fashionable ladies of Paris are going from
one extreme to the other in the matter of
the shape of the sleeve, and that the
very close-titting style will, in a measure
at least, give way to full flowing one.
Autumn mantles of dressy style are
made either in the visite shape, with sash
drapery in the back, or in modified
Hubbard shape, these lined with deep
Venetian red and trimmed with satin and
lace, the favorite material of the wrap
being fine quality of black vigogne.
Half low bodices and short sleeves
have reappeared, and for young girls
charming at-home dresses are made of
French gray wool, with square necks
trimmed with black velvet and filled in
with white muslin, and sleeves puffed
over the elbows, sort of Marguerite y
dress, which is simple, graceful, and
generally becoming.
Fine cloth shot with colored thread is
the newest material for ladies' autumn
suits. The bodice and tunic are of dark
green or brown, dashed with red or with
blue, and the Scotch plated skirt is of
stripes of the colors in the upper parts.
A crimson or blue waistcoat inside this
cloth bodice adds TO its style and may be
made of cloth or of moire fastened by
small, flat gold buttons like sequins.
Small bonnets for autumn are called
princess bonnets, because they are in
favor with the Princess of Wales, who was
brought up to make her own bonnets,
and therefore likes simple shapes. Fol
this reason milliners object to them, as
ladies can make them without assistance,
and have merely to cover them with folds
on the crowns and put pair of gentle
gray doves on the left side, pierced by a
silver dagger, which apparently holds
them in place.
