Certain ideas peryadc the domain O
dress; given such and such ideas il
millinery and in materials, We are sur
to see them. As for example, the can
vas ribbons of last summer, which
served as prelnies to canvas costumes
and when this fall we see wooden rib
oons as their successors, let us be sur,
that wool dresses will lave prestige

galoons in millinery, of rug-like thick
ness and design, are also the prelude
to thick woods of indistinct patterns,
and as prominence of beads upon hats
and bonnets is very great. so will many
stylish effects be brought about By
beads ON dresses. Not always the fine,
glittering jet, but large beads set about

Though old themselves, they become
novel by novelty of use, and with brown

will be in special demand for walking

largely into these costumes. Plush
oonnets are many; costumes where
plush appears, ditto. Too expensive,
and too heavy looking for III, whole
dress, this handsome fabric will effect
ually serve as touches on something
less expensive or more generally be-
coming. Rough bourette sprinklngs
on wool will help to produce that heav-
mess at present thought stylish, while
hlck loopings in borders. sometimes
woven in the goods or set on IN stripes,
will be powerful opponents of a leading
fashionable idea. Succeeding to the
cotton laces of the summer, we see
great quantities of weolen lace brought
out in shades harmonizng with ma
terials. They promise to be lavishly
used for wool materials, while Irish
wool lace in ecru will give change
when similarly employed. Spanish
patterns will appear in silk laces that
finish more expensive goods, and hand
some black outfits will be adorned by
French limitations of Chantily. This
bringing forward of lace as large
element IN the making of costumes is
probably the beginning of an ending
that will prove important, and where
many rich possibilities may arise.
Bonnets are quite small, aud AS we
