HONEY FOR THE LADIES.

The toque and the capotc are almost equal.
ly in favor, and felt divides honors with veil
vet material.
Coat %basques, with square side pockets low
on the hips, are being made by fashionable
modistes for demi-toilet wear.
Along with the empire gown come tho
reticule OF our great grandmothers, which
will be made in plush surah or the gown
stuff.
Black and gold bonnets may be worn with
gowns OF any color, and the mixtures of black
and green mahogany have almost as wide q
range.
A revived fashion in the construction of
fancy bodlces is the introduction of sleeves
of contrasting material, velvet, brocade,
MORE, etc.
A new leg-'o-mutton sleeve has appeared,
with a fiat embroidery in beads and silk a:
the top and around the waists. A vest dec
GRATED in like manner is then in order.
The china Grape collarette is of all colors,
sometimes matches the gown. but more often
Is in contrast, is always stif1y fiuted. and
sometimes edged with a buttonhole scaliop in
silk floss.
The new big-hooded capes made III satin
faced cloth, in all shades of gray, tan aud
drab, the hoods lined with some softly con-
trasting color. promise TO be much worn this
winter.
A very favorite head covering this season
is the brinless toque, with its oblong crown
OF dark straw or French felt. The shape Is
a sort OF compromise between a bonnet and
a round hat.
The style mostly selected in the straight
dress has q close cuirass bodice i'm a long
point front and back, the fronts usually fast
enlng diagonally from the right shoulder to
the left hip.
Many of the new flannel blouses for au-
tulnn are cut with revers and rolling collars
that recall a coat, and are worn over a front
and high collar OF cream or pale flannel, that
stands high about the throat and supersedes
the linen collar.
The directorie coat hath all costumes for
its own. Even the ulster does not escape,
Tor some very new ones are very much cut
away IN front over a vest Of careful silk
folds, and have the big revers turned back to
the shoulders tip.
The mixture Of silk and wool so much seen
in the gowns Of last summer is to be more
than repeated in autumn and winter toilets,
and that very open embroidery done in silks
upon cloth and underlaid with a constructing
color will be in high favor for their trims
ming.
Sarah Althea Hill, the wife of u. S. Terry,

press relative TO her recent assault upon jus

Terry, nee Mrs. William Sharon" This is

The alpine hat Of felt, with binding and
band Of handsome ribbon, aud the low
CroWheu turDan OF 1elt, VelVetIaOeu anu all
a-glitter with plumage and jewelled orna-
ments amid its loopy ribbons, are the two
sorts of headgear most affected by the best
dressers for early autumn wear.
Mrs. Mona Card, who started the discus
on SIS Marriage a FaIluref' spends most Of
her time on a large estate in Hampshire, di-
yiding her time between experimenting her

Mrs. Amanda Delmas, the lady who has
Just been received as a member of the Louis

the luxurious ease and Incidence in which

herself equal TO the emergency, however,
and has managed the crops with consummate
skill. Her business methods and her judg-
ment are highly praised by neighboring
planters and managers.
