Round turbans appear for early fall
wear

shoulders.
Moliore fronts of all kinds are ignored
by women OF fashion.
Ornaments of embroidery and beads
Will be used for dress decorations.
Velvet leaves veined and edged with
gold will be used for bonnet trim
mings.
Fur or feather border mixed incon-
gruously with lace will trim velvet
wraps.
Small figures will doubtless be pre-
ferred for dresses, but for cloakings
there are large detached flowers.
Plaids Of subdued colors in new COM
binations are shown in twilled and in
ottoman woods for childrens' dresses.
Stripes are largely imported and will
be used for parts OF dresses. Baya-
dere stripes are also among the new
goods.
A new shade in cloth is called Cor
don-blue,' and the bright greens are
Little Duke green, and the cresson
green already noted.
Black braid is used on wooden dresses
in Gordon-blue, cresson and gray
shades, but for the various brown
shades, brown of another tone is used.
Theatre bonnets are made of bla k
lace trimmed with deep red roses, or
white lace ornamentei with tea roses
These bonnets have no strings
Small bonnets of currant red velvet
have been sent from Paris, very STYLISH
ly finished with fine gold la e, and
long slender gold pins; no other trim

kenSington cloths have new embroi-
derles this season; instead OF being ar
ranged as borders are now in SPRAYS
and sprigs blocked of in squares, or
in lcnglhwise strips.
Bustes will remain large, and the
bow drapery, which consists of W dth
OF the material tied n two broad loops
and two ends fastened to the back of
the round corsage will also be worn.
In dress trimmings 1t is cons dered
"chic'' to have the s. les OF the skirt
different. A single broad stripe Of
trimming may be down the left side,
from belt to foot, while tie right side
is covered by low Greek drapery.
Round waists will be worn with or
without belt. some corsages will be
round in the back,-c off at the waist
melville the front may be pointed
or regular basque, or heightened into
polonaise. The eie either way is
sly lish.
There IS a fancy 10 put all the trim
ming on one part of the costume, and
leave the rest plain. For ,nsta ce, a
brown wool dress will have red or blue
ban of graduated width woven around
it, and this contrast will not be seen on
the basque or drapery.
Velvet will be he popular trimming
for the pretty chapeuX during the cary
tall season, and the fashionable colors
are red, dark green, brown or mulDer-
ry. The garnilure will be grapes, small
peaches, walnuts, wheat mixed with
peoples and golden rod.
The Sanspareil poplins brought out
for the early tade, exhb some of the
characteristics of the old-time Irish
poplins, but are decidedly finer in quail
lty and softer in texture. They have
lustrous surface finish, which renders
them particularly desirable for hand
some costumes, and come in all the
new zones Of favorite colors. The
browns made up with velvet trim
mngs, form rich, lady-like costume.
