by scraps of ribbon in hellotrepe. The
strings are of brown velvet. Many OF
the black bonnets and round hats dis
played are trimmed with loops and folds
OF the same material, relieved with two
or three long loops of velvet OF vivid
color. A rich orange velvet, ludiciously
placed and in suitable quantity, looks eN-
ceedingly well upon black velvet bonnet
or hat. rich vivid red, bright and
glowing, contrasts admirably with black.
An evening bonnet Of white silk, honey
combed IN diamonds and sprinked with
white wax beads, trimmed with profu-
sion of lace and bunch OF ostrich tips,
may be admissible on the ground that the
bird Is not sacrificed for the sake OF the
tips. The ladies Of Boston have insti-
tuted fashion, which, 1t Is to be hoped
our theatre-goers will follow: they only
wear heecy white covering on their
heads, and this is left in the dressing
room on entering the theatre.
Wool Is certainly to be the leading
fabric for the winter. Its softness Of
texture and quality for durability ana
brilliancy Of color, render it deservedly
popular.
A morning gown from one OF the first
Paris houseS deserves description, as 1t
lends itself 20 variation; the material is
tine wool gulpure, pale shade OF coffee
color, with center spots In deep olive
green. Over this quite plain skirt and
bodice Is worn an aproned-shaped plas-
tron of cream etamine, edged with olive
satin, this reaches quite TO the feet, and
Is secured at the waist aud throat by
handsome buckles, In dark-blue serge
and channels etamlne such dress
would look well, this mixture OF
color being at present much approved,
or cream and brown checked flannel or
soft cloth might be substituted for the
etamine. Foulards, either blue or red,
spotted with white, make pretty afternoon
dresses before the really cold weather
sets In A French model in this
material has the bodice made with
reyers opening down TO the
waist, showing an under bodice OF
thick white silk arranged in tiny tucks,
with a lace frilling down the center; the
deep turned back cuffs OF white silk are
edged with lace, and skirt Is pleated with
double hox pleats and the oyerdrapery,
crossed high on the left side, hangs low
on the right; broad white silk ribbon
ooutine the waist, the ends falling In

steel embroidery, worn as an outdoor
wrap, Plush ami foulard are frequently
combined, the mixture being seen just
now very frequently in Paris. Cloth ano
