NEW YORK, August Il, 1889.
The fall fashions are already being
shown here. although the "Openines
Of the large establishments are not held
until the middle OF neat month.
The pIryeyors Of the court OF her
Majesty Queen Fashion are obliged To-
be always few months in advance with
their preparations, and it may he SAID
that the fall goods and the fall styles
are already fully decided upon.
DRECrOIEE STYLES STILL HOLD.
It nigitbe thought that those who are
the patrons OF fashion. those who wear
the gowns, would lie by this time sur
feited with tho Directoirc and the I'm
pre-. no matter how tasteful, picturesque,
and novel these modes seemed when first
revived. In fact, if any large designer
la now the courage 20 put forth some
thing entirely unlike the old French
NODES he would he successful IN Gre
atlng new style. But. in the absence
Of such an inventive genius. we must he
content for this coming fall (and proha-
bly, winter, at an uuccas.ng PROCESSION
Of Dircctolro gowns, hats, aud coats out
Of doors, and an assemblaCe Of Empire
wrappers, tea gowns, evening costumes,
etc, at trEntft10, indoors.
THE FALL SHAPES.
One consolation remains: the fall
shapes ore all well chosen, and represent
the best features of tho old French
fashions. One Of the most popular, for
instance, Of the fall wraps, VII be the
Dircctoire cape. This, | believe, | have
before described here, but no harm
will be done by n repetition. 1t Is usu-
ally developed in Gne-faced cloth, in two
shades. Tie cape ought really to be
spoken OF in the plural, for 1t consists Of
from three g. seven successive, overlap
ping capes, the uppermost one beng the
shortest, and being little more than a
collar-the lowcrmost coming somewhat
below the elbows. These capes alternate
in color. and the effect produced Is very
striking.
