that the tournure is visible to the waist
line. That is better decidedly than to
have the hustle Impressed and disar-
ranged by the girting of an entire en-
clrclement. Some of the jerseys seen
on stylish young women in the street
sire very elegantly adorned The
woven material, adapting itself perfect
ly to the form of the welrer, carries its
patterns of overlaid decoration very
seductively. Graceful girls know this
very we'll, and are therefore likely to
use the jersey i'll some form or other,
for long time to come.
The girl of the promenade-thati is
she who manifestly arrays herself for
the walk in Broadway, and not fol
any place or occasion to which the
piece of pedestrianism is a necessary
service-is indulging in a new freak of
demeanor. She carries bouquet, not
in her corsage but in her hand, and she
snltis at it as she saunters. Its flowers
match those i'll her hat and are such as
to harmonic with whatever other col.
ors there may be in her toilet. The hat
IN this picture is specimen of about
the most pronounced style allowable
for city wear by pedestrians. The i'm
proved helmet has already been de-
scribed. The other pieces of millinery
sketched below are worth critical ex.
animation, as displaying new ideas in
millinery. The one with the wide but
closely turned-up brim is a formation OF
lace, and unlike anything hitherto de-
vlsed. The two jockey caps are very
pretty fancies i'll the adaptation of mas
crlllne headg6ar. Colors in millinery
are sufficiently varied to suit the most
fastidious. Green is not quite so pop
ular as it has been, but there are still
number of new shades in this color.
Blue in all shades will he the color of
the season. Some Of the very bright
est tints will be seen, bat there have
also a variety of beautiful new shades
been prepared, of which peculiar
blue-gray is especially agreeable to the
eye. The scabious has been selected
as another variety of blue, but the most
novel is q shade that is neither gray
nor blue, nor purple, and yet looks
like all three against other colors. 1t
has been named lie de vim, though
that is not the most descriptive title
that could have been chosen.
Church dressing is mere elaborate
and respondent this autumn than for
many year past. 1t has been II dec
trlne of our most fastidiouS ladies that
religious worship was not compatible
with gorgeousness of toilet, but that
feeling seems to have suddenly been
dispelled to large degree, and at the
church-g going hours the avenues afford

panying sketch reproduces the toilet of
a belle at the extremely stylish Grace
Church last Sunday. Yellowish white
lace of value hard to estimate was an
abundant feature. The hat was made
of it. and it composed the liberal
adornment of the front of corsage and
skirt, while another length of it is
wrapped around her neck. The gown
further shows how the prevailing
fashion is like current architecture in
the city-it has frontage SO o4na-
mental as to make the rear and sides
bf the structure seem comparatively
cheap and mean. A residence on
crowded street will have three of its
walls plain brick, while the exposed
one only is made INTELLECTUALLY fine
with bay windows, carved cornices,
sculptured stoops and artistic gargoyles.
Now, the fashionable woman of the
period seems to regard herself as being
like such house in having only an ex-
posed front, upon which she expends
disproportionate share of her money
and ingenuity. She forgets that people
view her from all sides, and that dis
tribution of ornament would be wiser.
But we are here descriptive, and not
too critical, and0 is to be regarded as
