make bonnet of crochet silk
cord or adorn one of silk velvet or cloth
with metallic embroideries.
Black trimmings on COlOred bOunets
viii remain in vogue. DOuble-faced sat
in ribbons are the latest caprice of Paris
milliueTs, but grOs grain, faIlle, striped
and velvet ribbons are also largely used,
the latter i'll widths varying from one to
two and a half inches. Flat straight
edges or else merely a cord finish all new
ribbons. Velvet cut bias forms tiuted
edges of bOnnets, or extends over the
brim of bOnnets, toques and round hats
alike, for the last half covering the bTim
inside and outside alike.
Embroidery enters largely into the
identifying of autumn cOstuming, as is
well eXempli1ied in q lead gray cashmere
thaC has a round skirt and clinging cui-
rass bodice, fastened under the arm.
There is no drapery, no tlOunce, no loop
ing up, only a handsome embroidery pat
tern of rushes with their long leaves.
This embroidery is worked in brown wool
Of the color of the rushes, edged with
tiny silver soutache; it comes up from
the foot of the skirt to the waist, then
spreads out over the front part of the
bodice; at the back it ornaments the wide
middle plat only, and in the sleeves the
upper part, the under part being quite
plain and clinging.
\ second gown dainty enough for at
home evening is of cashmere of the shade
known as bird S egg, neither blue nor
green, but with the beauty of both made
with the skirt round and plain, save that
at the edge to the depth of half a yard
there is Il broad embroidery i'll pure white
silk of an intricate Renaissance pattern,
falling over q close ruche of silk of the
tone of the dress, with the edges pinked.
The bodice showed the same embroidery,
and from beneath the right arm came a
broad, santiug sash of light green vel
vel, which also formed cuffs to match.
While another of black silk grand enough
for afternoon or for Il dinner gown, had
the sides entirely covered with redingOte
panels of fine gray mOusseline de sole,
bOrdered all round with silk embroidery
in straw, pink and green in the lightest
tones There was a thick silk ruche of
the same combination of tones at the
hem, and they appeared again in the en-
brOidery in the bodice.
As an accompaniment to the autumn
gown the triple cape will be a most pop
ular wrap. Dull tan, bottle green and
mauye will be the colors that may be
worn with almost any gown, and the
lining must be of the same shade as the
cloth cape-that is, for the street-while
white ladies' cloth cape used as a wrap
for demi- toilettes may be lined in prim-
Fesec scarlet or old blue silk. The street
cape will hook III front with a heavy
silver clasp of SIMPLE designfor the high
collar, while the white cape is held by
broad ribbons, the shade of the binding.
Whatever is the material and color, it
must be constantly borne i'll mind that
only 1.-THE, willowy girls of the Southern
variety can wear it becomingly.
Bodices in a score of fanciful shapes
appear among the autumn novelties,
and, added to the wide empire-sas
drapings, revers and crossed waist
coats, nd infnitum, are many charming
accessions which impart a graceful
and picturesque look to the entire
gown, these, including pretty shoulder
and sleeve pieces and sir Joshua collars of
velvet handsomely embroidered, Charles
X.seoIlars and fichus of real Irish lace.
