shoulder and a standing c8llal of velvet.
The sleeves have very little fullness at
the arm size, but gather at the wrist into
wide turn back cuff of velvet, buttoned
on the outside seam by three buttons. At
the top of the hem of the skirt there are
four or five rows Of ribbon velvet about q
half inch wide. An appropriate cap is of
the material gathered on top of the head
into large button covered with the vel
vet, and the cap has front piece for
shading the face it is presumed, but
which/the girls give a jauuty incline up
ward.
Something was said in the beginning of
this chat upon styles about the patent
tipped shoes, but has any one seen the
combination of black and white patent
leather in shoes? 1t Is very pretty in
deed Some such shoes have a long
black toe piece and white sides and
front, while others have the tips III white
and the rest black Worn, as they ought
TO De, with black stockings, they seem to
consist only of a toe, and are wonder
fully becoming, to the foot. They are
called the 90 Harlequin shoes - At.
least they are vast improvement on the
yellow and other colored shoes that have
intruded themselves upon the list of
forts to the contrary for all occasions,
short the EXTREMIST full dress, the plain,
black shoe, buttoned or laced, fitted
well to the foot, is without rival, and
will hold its own against all attempted
innovations.
NOTES.
Long cloaks VIII alternate with short
jackets as winter and autumnal wraps
High collars are again in the ascend
ant, as the cold weather approaches.
The winter toques are very rich in
materials, being chiefly in velvet laid in
folds and trimmed with stars or aigrettes
in cut Jet.
Rudy browns will be prominent
among colors this coming season. Rust
color will be seen in many of the fash
ionable fabrics.
Plain as well as brocaded silks are
largely imported for winter wear; but,
if the dress is of the brocade. it will be
generally made up in combination with
plain silk.
Some of the new French visiting
dresses, or carriage gowns, as they are
called, without being trained, are what
is called demi-long, just made to touch
the floor slightly at the back.
Bordered gowns have plain petticoat
with. the round. full OYerskirt simply
caught up quite nigh and quite far back
on each side; they are simple ana grace
full if skillfully adjusted.
Some very dainty walking gowns of
striped zephyr ginghams are seen, made
with close fitting basques, over double
waistcoat effects of white over striped
gingham The skirt is draped, but has
no over drapery.
Bodies are nearly always made with
vests, revers, fun or plain pastrons,
as may be preferred; round waists or
pointed, but always trimmed in some
way; the styles are innumerable; but one
thing must be followed TO be in the
fashion-the shoulder-seam must be
short
Capes and visites are worn, many
trimmed with wide fringes; but capes
look better on either young or slender
people; they are convenient and also
warm, if made long enough to cover the
entire back of the arms. The triple or
coachman s cape is the most stylish.
The newest color of the season is a rich
deep shade of chaudron- which has
been ehristened Eiffel-color, after the
famous tower of the exhibition It is
supposed TO be OF the same hue as the
red painted iron work of that stupendous
