are not of tan color, but come in bronze,

One of the handsomest silk fabrics OF
this season is black satin de Lyon bro
caded with fine cut jet beads, woven into
fabrics.
Silk and satin dresses are growing less in
number on the street at the East, and in
their place are seen sensible costumes of
cheyiot, serge, cashmere and cloth.
Fine broadcloths, with closely woven
surfaces, London cloths in herring-bone
patterns. and irregular twilled cloths are
used for the popular tailor.made costumes.
Embroidered net fronts and hounces for
evening dresses have very large flowers
wrought in chenille, with the veins OF
colored pearl beads of very large size, and
they are among the most effective OF the
seasons trimmings.
New gloves for cool weather wear are
generally shown made of chintz cashmere,
yery fine and soft. They are long and but
tonless, embroidered with a spray of silk
flowers at the top, and mould the hand and

wear.
For fancy Jackets vests may be inserted
Of satin or brocade, kid or chamois skin,
and not unfrequently alligator skins, with
its ecru brown shading and pretty fine
marking, are used. Such jackets are seen
more in the house than on the street, and
are very pretty for demi-toilet.
Dressy basques are cut open in oval
shape below the throat, and finished off
with standing net collar embroidered
with gold, silver or steel beads, and made
to project like fine thread-like wires, and
fastened by diamond brooch that repre-
sents buttons. The sleeves are of lace to
the elbow, with beaded ruffiss, and there
are satin creves for epaulets.
Plain dark velvets are to be much used
for ball wraps and opera cloaks. A superb
model on exhibition is made of a very dark
shade of royal blue in long viste shape,
embroidered in dark blue silk, and lined
throughout with palest blue satin. Another

trimmings of the sleeves and square neck

the sleeves are sometimes of transparent

Partisan modistes are making up very

an eschelle of cords with handsome pend
ants on each panel.
Knitted underclothing, both for ladies
and children, are coming more and more
into vogue, and are certainly light and
warm-two things which do not always go
together. For summer wear especially,
knitted skirts are particularly appropriate,
and knitted underwear also but heavier
ones are making their appearance in the
stores, showing they bid fair to become a
staple article of manufacture. 1t would
not be bad idea if Dame Fashion, in some
of her freaks, made knitted undergarments
sine quo non of winter wear. Many ladies
would find it not only an agreeable pastime
to make these garments themselves, but it
would afford a very remunerative occupa-
tion. Babies and full children's skirts

ALI the leading features noticeable in the |
attractive, artistic costumes worn dur

imported this autumn. There is more
positive style about them than those we
have become accustomed to seeing during
the summer. For instance, many of the |
bodices are more decidedly antique in
style, the high stiff fraises are more stately |
and elaborate. and the lego mutton, Van
