NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE

Let us take as long look ahead as
possible at women's fashions. In doing
this we cannot have a certainty of
visage, because in this matter man
proposes and woman disposes. That is
TO say, men employed in the business
of designing and producing the fash
ions are never sure that what they offer
will be accepted. The picures in
this article, unlike the actuali
ties usually illustrated in this cores
pondence, are merely strong probabili-
ties. 1t is true that the shapes may be
taken in all faith as those which will
prevail next October and afterwards.
The outlines of the late fall and early
winter garments are already fixed def
nitely enough, and some of them are
shown in these sketches. This is par
ticularly true Of the ball costume, with
its slightly peculiar draping of arm
holes and bosom. 1t is as to the
material that the writer would not like
to stake her reputation as prophecies.
Manufacturers of silk and cotton vel
vets, in this country and abroad, are
fully determined that their regally rich
fabrics shall be fashionably worn for
Ine ensuing season, ana the dry goods
dealers of New York acquiesce in
this. Therefore, considerable stocks
of velvets in all imaginable colors and
qualities, and ranging from the plain
piles to deliberately embossed surfaces,
have been ordered, and everything has
been made ready to duplicate these in
vestments in case stylish women accept
velvet as favorite fabric. Already
velvets are seen by piecemeal il the
very newest costumes ordered for wear
in the cooler mountain resorts and at
the seashore. The second fashion plate
shows how velvet IS made up in vest.
to be worn under a white jacket. The
next portrayal reverses the order, and
produces a house dress of velvet with n
soft white frontage 10 the waist One
thing TO be said in favor of the rrob-
able preference for velvet is that, while
wealthy bellies may find goods costing

for summer dresses. Lace flounces and

of those which take tho popular fancy
and will be very fashionable. The
coarser qualities will not be used for

grade are woven in the desirable shades
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-09-05

SoAe of the very finest costumes or
Il red fer swell occasions, this month
and next, are TO be devoid of bustles,
although the draperies will distend
themselves Il little at the rear without
any interior support. But / observe
that In every case the girth of the waist
indicated a slender woman. Other and
equally rich dresses were expanded
rearward By inserted steels to an extent
as great as hitherto. When our most
elaborate dressers thus disagree about
the hustle, there is nothing for their
less independent sisters to do except to
consult personal taste and physical re.
quirements.
The bellies at the Watering places are
getting ready TO go home, and the moro
pretentious of them are ordering trav-
cling cloaks for that purpose. They
told me at one dressmaking establish
ment about daughter of wealth who
had spent the summer in the mountains,
and who was telegraphed to by rela-
tives to return at once to the city. She
replied that she couldn't do so, unless
it was matter of life and death, be-
cause the only travelling costume she
had was the one which she had worn
cor her departure in June. That may
be slight eXaggeration, but it is a fact
that hundreds of our extravaganza wom-
en- will have expensive wraps made for
a single journey.
Demi-season toilets, like those here
illustrated. are made of matelasse silk,
of sicilienne, of velvet, and of fancy
cloth. Short nantes, as we'll as the
long cloaks, are made of the most
unique shapes, and many are heavily
trimmed with black lace, as in the
examples given. In this case the cloth
was very light drab, thus making
sharp contrast with the trimming.
Two materials appear in most cloaks
and in the shortest garments. The

very well, but which for awhile has g
perfec. semblance of the richer origi-
nails.
Leather trimmings, coming novelty
for autumn and winter gowns, have al
ready made their appearance, but /
cannot say think the effect is particu-
larly good. The leather gives heavy
appearance TO the garment it is selected
to adorn, and furthermore suggests the
trappings of a well-cared- for horse or
dog. 1t has its advantages, like most
other things, and among them may be
mentioned Its durability and its excel
lence for the bottom of skirts, which
are being turned up to the depth of
hree or four inches with either dark
or light leather, according to the color
Of the dress. This keeps the gown in
good order, and can be easily cleansed
from mud spots or dust. Perforated
leather vests are also being introduced,
fastened with straps and buckles.
In the way Of freaks of parapher-
MALTA, the statement has been variously
printed of late that rich young women
have taken TO wearing tights instead
of stockings. Some readers may have
regarded this as an invention of
women's railing enemy, man, but such
is not the case. | have investigated
the matter, and find that the demand
for fancy tights really has extended be-
yond the women of the stage. For
merly, tights were only kept in stock
by dealers in theatrical goods, but now
the hosiery department in several of
our largest general stores keep a sup
ply. The substitution of tights for
stockings is not going TO be extensive,
however, partly because there isn't any
sense in it, but chiefly for the reason
that good silk tights of fancifully woven
designs are very costly.
Two new styles of hair dressing are
shown in the first and third pictures.
The lady costumed for ball or recep-
ton not only has her forehead amply
shaded by loose bang but her hair is
brought forward at the sides of her
face as we'll. This is a couture becom-
/ ing TO faces with pronounced features,
and especially those with too assertive
noses. The girl at the piano has her
hair arranged in n juvenile fashion,
somewhat suggestive of the WATERFALL
Of fifteen years ago. The revival will
10 very well for young girls, and is
quite likely to come into vogue for the
winter.
Ny readers are wanting 10 know
what to do about bustles. The ques.
zion is rather important, because the
tut and draping of skirts depend upon
t. IL is safe TO assume that the hustle
will not be suppressed for while yet.

mined, and will result in modifica.

In Quito, Ecuador.

Alphabetically, Quito is not unlike
other Spanish American towns, except
that it is dirtier and little more dilapi-
dated. There is not even an excuse
for a hotel, and private hospitality Is
restricted by the poverty of the people.
Few travellers ever go there-only those
who are compelled-and the demand is
not sufficient to justify the establish
ment of hotel. One-fourth OF the en-
tire city is covered with converts, and
every fourth person you meet is a
priest, or a monk, or nun. There are
monks in gray, monks in blue, monks
in white, monks in black. and orders
that no one ever heard of before. There
are all sorts of priests, and the jolly or
grim old fellows one sees in Nibert's
pictures are found on almost every
com r in Quito. II it were not for the
climate Quito would be in the midst
of a perpetual pestilence; but not
withstanding the prevailing filthiness
there is very little sickness, and pull
monari di ,eases are unknown. Noun
tain fever, produced by cold and tor
Til liver, is the commonest type of
disease. The population of the city,
however, is gradually decreasing, and
is said to be about sixty thousand.
There were five hundred thou
sand people at Quito when the
SpaniarIs came and one hun
dred years ago the population
was reckoned az double what it now is.
Half the houses in the town are empty,
and to see a new family moving in
would be a sensa ion. Most Of the
finest residences are locked and barred,
aud have remained so for years. The
owners are usually political exiles, who
are living elsewhere, and can neither
sell nor rent their propt rty. Political
revolutions are SO common, and the re-
suits are so disastrous to the unsuccess-
full, that there IS n constant stream of
fugitives leaving the state. Although
Ecuador is set down IN the Biographies
as republic, it is simply Popish
colony and the power of the Vatican Is
nowhere felt more completely. The
return OF priest rom pilgrimage to
Rome Is as IT n an event as the Dec
laration OF Independence; and so sub
ordinate is the state to the church that
the latter selects the Presidents,
the Congress, and the judges. A cru
cifix. sits in the audience chamber OF
the Pre- sident, and on the desk OF the
pr, siding officer Of Congress. All the
schools are controlled by the bishops,
aad the children know more about the
lives Of the saints than about the geo
graphy of their own country. There Is
not even a good map of Ecuador.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-09-05

Each season the prediction has been
made that the hustle must go, and
every year until now the prediction has
been belied by the facts. BY dint of a
severe struggle, its enemies have pre-
vailed, and there is very marked
diminution in the size of tournure.
Extremists, however, are going as
much in the other direction, and the
skirts of many of the ultra dresses are
limp, ungraceful, and devoid of any
cachet whatever. A little distention
Is always necessary to the success of u
well-hanging gown. Just as long as
dresses are made with elaborate dra-
peries and fullness at the back, will
there be need of something beneath
the top of skirt TO serve as support,
or to give graceful outstanding effect.
The best rule to follow, therefore, is
for each woman to decide for herself
just how much or how little of hustle
she will wear, and in coming to de-
cision she should be guided by a con-
sideration of her own figure. If she is
rather slim she may affect an aesthetic
limpness of draperies, which from an
artistic point of view is pleasant
enough, but if she is at all inclined TO
fieshiness, it is more than likely that
she absolutely requires a hustle in or
der to produce slightly outlines A
round of the most fashionable of the
city dressmakers doesn't carry the
writer to u conclusion in this matter.
