FASHION LOOKS AHEAD.
SOMETHING FOR TIE LADIES.
Some Hints as 10 What is In Preparation
for the Autumn and Winter.


glory, says Harper'S Bdzdr of this
week, merchants have already received
their first instalments Of autumn and
winter d-ess goods. Woollen stuiis OF
plain color promise TO remain IN
favor for street and walking costumes
in preference to the silks, satins,
and velyets that are reserved for
house toilcttes. The novelty in these
is the introduction Of boucle effects,
having curled loops Of the fabric
woven in stripes, palms, or other figures
as borders, or else covering the entire
surface Of the cloth; in the latter case
the material resembles Astrakhan
cloths, but is much lighter and less
shaggy. Boucle jersey stufs, with
soft loops covering a webbcd surface,
are commended for basques and jackets
TO be worn with skirts Of plain diago-
nal wool that are bordcred with banls
Of the bouclc stuff; these new, rough
surfaced jersey goods are very
warm-looking. and are so fall and
thick that they will be becoming
to slight figures, because they will
add to the apparent size. In many
other new fabrics boucle stripes are
seen; for instance, the winter canvas
stufs-lihe the ctamine Of the summer
yet closely woven to form a smooth
surface have along one sclyeGge two
rows Of large palm leaves in bouc!e
loops to sgyc rs a border. There are
also bison scrgcs, with wide diagonal
lines for part Of the dress, TO bc worn
over a skirt Of the same that has dashes
Of boucle mohair all over it. giving
thick-lookinc and shaggy fabric for the
skirt Of the dress. Bayadcre bOucle
stripes are also shown for the skirt and
vests Of plain scrges. Camel's-hair
sergcs are shown in fine qualities,
soft yet rough on the surface,
like the bison cloths now worn
these come in a dark plain color,
and in mixtures of a dark color with
black, such as red with black and green
or blue with black, while brown, drab,
and sage coiorS ale dashed with rel or
blue. These fabrics are also shown
with fri-c figures. palus, and stripes,
or with frisc border near one sclycl-e:
they come ia double widths Ioli t-ti-ht
inches wide. and are 90 bc had I'm black
