The New Autumn Toiiettes.
For the INTELLioENCER.
The new gowns TO be worn during autumn
and early winter are quite plain, and are
called the Ascot toilettes on account of being
copied from the gowns made for the
Princesses Louise and Victoria, the daughters
of the Prince OF Wales, and also two popular
ladies in English society, to be worn at the
Ascot races. They are made of plain or tine
striped all wool goods, perfectly plain around
the bottom of the skirt, or sometimes plain
killed skirt, with full long drapery. The
basque is pointed IN front, short on the hips,
and postillion back, with Breton vest of
either white pique, corduroy or white wool
stuff and q high-standing collar is added.
These are very stylish, and what.may ee con-
sidered exquisite toilettes.

shown of medium thickness. These are
jackets for everyday wear, aud mantles for
dressy occasions The new jackets are tight.
fitting and short, also double-breasted, with
a very high collar, or else turned down
collar may be sewed to the tow OF this high
band. The sleeves are close coat-shaped.
Two rows of small buttons, instead OF the
| the very large ones that were popular during
| the spring, trim the front, which are OF
natural wood, or plain wool-covered. Rough
| boucle will be much used, but diagonal
| cloths and underlined checks, plaids, or
| stripes are also seen. Brown and blue are
| the leading colors for these Jackets, as they
| will harmonize nicely with the dresses to be
worn this season.
| STYLISH JoTS.
| The fashionable white is not quite a cream,
| but slightly tinged with cream.

said to have entirely superseded gloves of
dressed kid.
Red and yellow are colors which are pre-
ferred at the moment, and which are asso.
| ciated together.
White dresses are to be worn enormously,
| at theatre, concerts, and dinners, during the
coming winter season.
The coiffure is still worn very high, by the
| hair being twisted upward and fastened on
the summit of the crown.
Large white null throat bows that were
formerly worn, and becoming TO most ladies,
| are again coming in vogue.
To haye the fashionable coiflure, worn by
| faSnp.-sssde ladies', the hair need only have
3sene appearance OF not having been dressed
Felt bounets and hats are shown tor
autumn wear. There are very slight changes
| in the shapes from those worn during the
summer.
Cloth merchants commend dahlia, mul.
berry, navy blue and rosewood shades tor
| the first autumn suits, and tailor gowns
| especially for the travelling dresses OF brides
| expectant, who wish advice on such matters
The new jacket for fall wear is called the
| coachman' s coat, and is made OF smooth
cloth, with a turned-over collar and cuffs o.
velvet

and projected the body iorw ard like that of
dame bowed with the weight of years
Sleeves are undergoing great modification
they are no longer plain and coat shaped
but are being trimmed from the shoulder Il
the elbow, leaving the lower part perfectly
plain.
Often there are tiny pockets in the vests o
cutaway jackets in one OF which the watcl
is worn, Just as our great grandfathers wor,
theirs, with bunch of seals or watch-keyt
| hanging outside the pocket.

fashioned India shawls, very soft of texture

trimmed with lace--which may seem to som,
pity, but then the novelty is a very pretty

Ribbon reigns supreme it is used fo
| everything. Plastrons composed OF one lool

paniers of skirts are covered with ribbon
