The month of September is always the turning
point in fashion. 1t is then that nature assumes
new features, and commences to attire herself
in gorgeous apparel, which il not new is very
brilliant and effective; so all womanhood casts
about her for more brilliant coloring, both in
combination and in plain toilets. This seasons

feet, nor in the least abrupt in their departure
from preceding modes,yet are especially fascinat-
ing and beautiful. Tasteful combinations of
fabrics and colors are still fashionable, though
uniformity of texture and coloring, also receives
the appreciation of fashion. simplicity of

crate when dress for the house is desired, the
same pattern is often selected for both.
Dresses of walking length are always in good
taste, yet for brides, and also for both matrons
and maids, trained dresses are considered in

back breadths are In exact proportions, and II
has hip darts in its cores, which are gracefully
crossed by the deep oval apron drapery. The
body has pointed basque front, sack with two
bust darts on either side and under arm cores
which should give 1t psrfsct 1t; and
the back has side back and confer seams, the
outer portions being quite wide and deepened to
form the superb train, which falls in deep,
square outline. All the fullness necessary to 9
perfect deposal is underfolded in deep plaits be

lower back corners of the side backs, and only
once to each side OF the skirt, go that it may be

nets, tissues, in fact, any and all fabrics may be
used for drapery, making the costume as elab
