NEW YoRK, 01t. 8,-Pert little EN-
1 broidered bonuets have driven away
ostrich pumsge which now reposes in
camphor awaiting better times. Em-
broidery indeed Ia the coming hobby. A
| grand race will be run and the fortunate
one who can wear $75 embroidered
crown will-be couLted winner. In these
model crowns ornamsntstion exceeds that
which ia ornsmented. One is told that
camels hair is the foundation, but a
supersoription of ouriously wrought gilt
excludes it from view, and we take II on
| trust. Descending from such sublime
hight we find embroideries where
a velvet or satin foundation Is visible
but upon 1t sill manner OF devices are
adroitly exeouted medallion, lozenge,
floral and eastern patterns being seen
| while intermixtures OF fins silver and
| gilt brsids give peculiar richness. These1
braids In truth are constsntly apparsnti
In millinery and, peeping from the rim Of
| some modest specimen, afford stylish
glimmer. Lacss are heavily laden with
metal interwesvings and, In gradual
gradations to the plain, are chosen
| where effects Of liRhtnees are desirable.
They impart broken outline to the
peaked bonnets or lie In soft contrast be-
side the curious festhered medleys that
are placed as q finish on fashionable
fronts. One would think indeed that!

yearning for the feather which Asswsass
above his forehead. At all 81 MI
have many limitations, and gros 5l zsnr
or five dyed chicken feathers ILL srso&
as an outcome from patohA zsnszhsz
breasts. As 9 farther exaaINl@ of the
bizarre was motley asssmblags u b brshss
feathers from which extended pair OF
birds feet. This was at q very refined
millinery establishment. In diffsrsnt
style come beautiful chenille limitations lef
berries or acorns with attendant leaves.
Nature Is not consulted as to color, bii*
they are none the less pretty, and are
tasteful as they are novel. Let no one
think however that simplicity Ia abanS
doned, for nothing on the contrary can b4
more unobtrusive than some felt cspo@
modestly trimmed with plain velvet.
NEW cLoAKs.
Make way for the hustle, either by sss
amplitude giving room for 1t or by piait-
ings and pufiings which help on the good
work If they do not entirely accomplish
II. Everything Is devised for as least
some putting at the back, the more the
better in fashionable view. Lengths
are rs long as last season than which
nothing can be lengshier, convenient
enough In CASE Of emergency, as the dress
is not visible. From such extreme limit,
we see ascending gradations till the
border land of jacketdom is reached.
where the field opens up to sn
equal candidacy on the part Of she
mantilla and dolmsn family. Frise stuffs
will play q large part in outdoor gar
ments as everywhere else In dress this
winter. Slender people will gladly avail
themselves Of that which may give
breadth and will have garments made
entirely Of such class of goods or In conn
bination with something plain and this
will be the more readily brought about
since all kinds Of material even the rich
est, show frise varieties and combinations
| oftwo or even three fabrics are fashionable.
Very stylish results will be brought
about by oolors in outdoor garments Of
cloth, whether plain, rough or irise.
Black cloth is at discount and will be
held in contempt beside dahlis, plum,
stone, gray blue and reddish browns.
Braiding again comes In as an element In
all kinds Of garments. Jersey webbing
ia in favor, while Il is scare needful 70
say that velvet, plain, broosded, uncut
or frise will stand in rivalry to rich silks
or sstins.
| STREET AND INDOOR.
Americans are beginning to realize the
vast difference between the indoor and
outdoor wear and as an outcome We find
special style attached to plain cloth
suits Of some elegant, dark color. Rven
the vanity Of trimming is discarded for
8 plain tailor finish, and those severe but
extremely tasteful street suita have
effected other wool goods where nothing
pleases more than simplicity. Jewelry
is an adherence, being reserved for its
proper place in evening dress, which Is
becoming more and more gorgeous.
Unspeskable is the grandeur OF brocades.
Plain velvet, silks and satins serve only
as effects, or, when worn alone, are 90
extrAvAgantly relieved by lace, tulle or
exquisite psssementeries that here
also they really are adjunots In
\ place of principals. It is chiefly in the
latter case that artificial dowsra are being
employed with moro freedom than for
merly. the rage for natural flowers is
declining because OF speedy whiting and
are now often and more appropriately
used to complete toilette Of plain fabric,
a few to correspond being also put in the
hair. Combinations OF velvet, silk or
satin with fnishings Of lace, chenille
fringe or passimenterie are the founds-
tiohs from which arise, however, far
greater number Of costumes for carriage
use, visiting, smaller gatherings, &c.
The prominence Of velvet or the fine
quality Nonpareil velvetsen Is very appA-
rent, the latter being in unprecedented
demand owing to Its richness Of pile and
the fact that 1t is brought ont in all the
new colors both for day and evening.
For ohildren's wear il is also extremely
popular.
OCTOBER MOTIFS.
Uncut velvet, ottoman silk or satin
afford choice for Wedding dresses, often
with brocade, frise stuffs or frise figured
fabrics In combination.
Lord & Taylor issue this season q series
Of pamphlets 30 full OF information on all
departments Of dress that after reading
them fear the ladies will scare care 70
read my letters.
Bronze slippers with bronze hosiery TO
match will be leading color for dressy
occasions, but ohsngeable hosiery showing
blue and gold, bronze ana red, red and
tlue and other stylish combinations viii
also be much worn.
Neck dressing for indoors is al
elaborate As ever, and keEchieis, ,plsstrons
and jabots Of fine white lace or embroi
derry give opportunity for great deal o.
pleasing extravaganza. Black lace 4
still stylish and may be relieved by /
, spray Of flowers.
Accordion plaitings are genuine novel
ties where in boxes or counters repos,
dress patterns, portion Of which hav'
, been pressed by machinery into fold
, that open out at pleasure. Often the,
extend the length Of the skirt.
