a great many silver belts are worn in New
| York with street dresses.
Ffteen-dolar silver rattles for aristocratic
| babies are in the market.
Some of the openwork jet passementerie trim
| mlngs are set over color, and so gain in rich
| ness of effect
| Blue or brown for the street Dress black for
| the jacket, and prune or magenta millinery Is the
! law of color among ladies' taors.
1t is not considered good form to carry an opera
| glass to play. The artistic habitue processes to
hate analysis and optical scrutiny.
Every sort or perky, elf-asserting garniture is
to be worn on hats and to stand perfectly erect
| without regard to the contour of the hat.
The variety in the shapes for autumn give all
| chance for pretty and becoming headgear and
| 1t is captous person who cannot be satisfied
| with some one of the graceful forms.
Ladies have adopted the masculine habit of
| wearing leather gloves with rough. and ready
| costumes. Saffron maroon, and brown are the
! fashionable shades, and pair cannot be walked
| out, shopped out. or driven out in year.
White is prevailing fashion for trimmings as
well as for part of the costume on dress occasions
the coming season. White velvet has not been
used in many years, but now comes to the fore in
millinery and other trimming and for whole bon
Wells have stars of velvet applied at intervals
over their surface as being more novel in effect
than dots. Large beauty spots at long distances
one from the other are still fashionable and the
most becoming of all veilings. The veil to be
fashionable covers the whole face this season.
Feathers. always so becoming to the face, will
| this season in many cases frame the head in
coronet of ostrich plume. The Princes feather
or rather three feathers standing upright, will
fill the front of large round hats, making also
most becoming and attractive sort of trimming
The bodice of all forms is still the most fanci-
ful garment possible, fastening in the most i'm
possible places and having as little reason and
regularity as is possible. The long sleeve with
frill falling well the hand opens the way for
the short glove. This sleeve, which is very yolu.
minous at the top, Is very tight fitting at the
waist.
The great variety presented by different motifs
in piece trimmings of psssementerie give oppor.
tun1ty for lovely effects very easily made
Sleeves OF independent fabric are very stylish,
and may be bought all ready made. Velvet en-
broidered in silk cord is the most elegant for
these sleeves, which are really very ornamental
Passementerie sleeves are also very stylish and
although very costly make sufficient trimming
without any other.
Light-blue and black, pink and black. and
the novel combinations. A pink cloth gown
bordered with black Persian lamb, is one of the
notable models from an English house. With IL
is q little toQue of black velvet with pink o.
trieh-tip aigrette set well in front. A coarette
of black ostrich feathers tying in front with
olack bow, completes very striking costume for
calling or afternoon receptions.
The tablier. which covers the whole front of
the gown, is very fashionable piece of garni-
ture, and is held in high favor with those who
like elaborate ornamentation. These are in
netted cord and fringe as usual thing although
sometimes beads are used, either In color or let
with rich effect. Panels of heavy passementerie
are also to be found in great varieties. Epau-
lettes are stylish again this season after having
proved their beauty last winter.
Velvetine is fabric more and more recognized
as a valuable material for the mid season and
the winter as well, as it combines equally we'll
with lightweight as with heavyweight wool
lens. 1t is in every way superior to cheap vel
vets and comes in all the most desirable shades.
For outer garments the velvetne has been found
very successful, particularly in the present fash
ION OF making sleeves of independent fabric
from the body of the jacket. For chidren's cos
TUNES it is durable and attractive fabric wear
ing almost as well as corduroy.
The salient characteristic in all fashionable
outer garments is the broad ad-shouldered effect
Whlle with almost all stylish millinery 1t is to
nave the effect as close fitting to the head as DOS
slDle 10 produce the desderatum of the pre-
Valllng fashion one must be very ample in
breadth OF shoulders and small and snug in the
mead The coiffure is as unobtrusive and snug
to the Uranium as it is possible to mass the hair,
and no one need feel the lack of heavy head of
halr' as 1t is decidedly an embarrassment of
riches in the present mode of hair dressing
Turquoise is to be very fashionable from all
accounts few years ago the Jersey Lily made
the turquoise ring the rage with magnificent
PERSIAN stone said to have been the gift of the
Frlnce. Just now the daughters of ii. r. II. are
wearing dog-collar necklaces made of old silver
set with the greenish-blue Siberian turquoises
me array of these semi-precious gems set be-
iore New York buyers is most beautiful. In
some OF the pins and pendants mystic verse
from the Koran is inscribed, to which grave i'm
portance Is attached by the superstitious recip-
lent.
Ihose models which just now are most interest
ing are those intended for the autumn brides and
their attendant bridesmaids. The wedding gown
IN point or conspcuousness is certainly secon-
dary TO that of the bridesmaids, the latter being
nothing II not picturesque in form and in texture
as we'll A Russian fashion has just made itself
ielt IN Paris and in London in having the brides
maids arrayed in cloth gowns of heavy texture,
although light in color An eccentric fashion
gives to the bride gown OF heavily-embroidered
SILK muslin while her attendant maid of honor
wears broadcloth gown trimmed with fur.
