Qrits, an effort Is making to bring in velvet
flowers among winter trimmings
For dress goods green has still long lead,
and the forest greens and mignonette viii be
more used than ever.
When tonnet strings are worn velvet rib
bon is often used for them, but for trimming,
| bias loops OF piece velvet give much better
effect.
Volcan red, tint SO brilliant as to be
binding, and coleus, the complimentary Of
cadet blue, viii be long fayorities for winter
ribbons.
Open work embroidery, the designs out
lined with cord, is the fancy of one noted
Paris an milliner, and by him set into. not
on, tt brirn Of directoire hats.
Ribbons Of cashmere danassee inwoven
with threads of gold and silver ara the
highest high novelty, bat not so much chosen
as plain armurs and peau de sole textures
woven in several stripes of color.
The stamped open work to which pinking
has gro wn is no end stylish and sinfully ugly.
1t comes in bands to be applied to the edges
Of draperies and .'sich," and is fastened on
with tho cat stitch Of our grandmothers.
The last sweet thing in jackets is the Nea-
politan, of scarlet cloth, close fitted at back
and with fronts sloped sharply from the
throat, clasp to display shirt OF scarlet silk
in crossed folds that simulate kerchief.
The runnor of longer walking skirts is hap
PLY unfounded, es new Paris gowns, all OF
them, clear the ground al around, and some
even come but to the shoe tie, which is very
much To the good of cleanliness and comfort
The eirl who dares now wears about her
white L eek alternate strands OF pearl and
coral be ads, while she who begins to show
silver in her locks matches it with row upon
row of dark silver beads high about the neck
big directoire hat and round Russian
tooue sur named the ''Skobelef," both Of
black velvet and garnished with plunles, are
the novelties by which Madame Jose, of
Paris. expect IS to win the regard Of her CRATE
full country.
The summer flowers fade and the summer
lowered gov rs with them. Autumn stuffs
ere plain, or az most show stripes and checks,
and are made up in straightly severe fashion
in strong contra st to the rlotous draperles OF
the season just passed
Here is the LIST of new colors for day
gowns, and some Of them would make the
Venus de Medici heartbreakingly hideous:
Wista.-ia purple, punch fame, peony, deer
skin, Cordova le.lther, clover blossom and
Mephis5o red, and in grays, powder, thunder
cloud, sea gull, dove, doves breast, mouse
and pearl
Rich, heavy stufs, as plush, velvet and big
lowered brocadss, will be largely combined
with light ones, as Grape isse, silk null,
China crane, in the evening gowns of this
winter which viii be very often in princess
shape, with fronts of the heavy stuff meeting
only at the waist over tablier and guinpe Of
the light one
Scotch Ilaids in all the leading tartans are
chosen for some early autumn gowns, and
are made into long sweeping draperies over
silk skirts Of their dominant hue. Three
pinked ruffles three inches wide and set over
each other-not one above the other-fnish
the skirts at the bottom, but are only seen in
event of the drapery's displacement.-New
