REALMS OF FASHION.
High ColOrs and Contrasts in
Satins and Velvets.
MODIFIED TAILoR-MADE GOWNS.
Novelties In Dress for Evening Wear-What
is New and attractive In Head Gear
Shoes Now Worn.

New YORK, Nov. Is, 1S9O.-[Special cor
respondence of THE HERALD. Our great
aunts and grandmothers while dwelling on
the details of fashion of by-gone years. could
scarcely complain that mo one sees such
fabrics nowadays," for all the ingenuities
OF art seem to have been directed toward
the elegance of modern materials. October
closed amid rich display of color and also
with what may be called new reign in
satins and velvets. Bright ieweled effects
light up evening tissues, and Oriental con-
trasts, full Of shadows, distinguish rich
brocades. The prevalence of velvet and
the velvety has not been so conspicuous for
many years. AS far as it is possible, with
the Inconvenience of our style of dress,
refinement, ease and luxury are expressed
In the modes which now prevail. We re-
rlize the ungainliness Of many of our pres
ent day costumes. Yet no one seems able
10 invent any better. Worth, that mon
arch of the world of dress, at one time ut
terly ignored the English tailor made
gown, in which he declares that "ladies
look like stable boys" Nevertheless, in
spite of the edicts of Worth, the tailor
made gown still exists, though it may have
passed it's meridian in severe simplicity,
and in varied notifications is on the top
wave of public favor. Just now the tailor
makes the woman, and in the natural
course of events and according to the laws
OF compensation nine women will make
tailor. l do not mean to suggest that every
woman should wear a uniform OF tailor
made tweed, for to many tbs On unbecom-

THROUGH TRAI rs
Are Now Running Between San
Francisco and Denver.
EFFECT UPON RAILWAY TRAFFIC.
The New Time Table Goes Into Effect To-day
The Coal BuSiness-The Salt Lake
& Bountiful.

A. N. Oliver, city passenger agent of the
Denver & Rio Grande, Denver, is in the
city and was caught on the fly by HERALD
reporter yesterday evening. "I'm here"
he said in reply to the conventional news
paper query, "to arrange for through bust
ness over the broad gauge between here
and Denver. You are aware, doubtless,
that the first through train over the COM
pany's roa / runs today, and that this
means better time in the future between
my city and the metropolis of this great
inter mountain valley. The common lay
over and transfer at Grand Junction is now
thing of the past. 1t will not be long
until Denver can be reached over the Den
yer & Rio Grande in twenty-seven hours.
This cannot help but be good news to the
pushing citizens and business men of Salt
Lake and contiguous territory. But it
ought5to be remembered that the road bed
is new between the Junction and Denver
and that this must be reduced to proper
level and smoothness before the roads
best time can be reached. Stillit is enough
to know that passenger and freight traffic
has entered upon a new era and that
greater business prosperity must result
Salt Lake and Denver ought to be sisters
from this time in the fullest sense of the
word.n
The fact ought to be kept in mind that
the opening Of the broad gauge, conformity
by the Denver & Rio Grande and Colorado
Midland railroads companies, between
Grand Junction and Denver, not only gives
through transportation, between Salt Lake
and Denver, but between Denver and San
Francisco as well. The time thereby be-
tween Salt Sake and Denver is reduced
at once nearly or quite six hours,

have the raised crowns quite at the back
the bruins standing out we'll in front, and
often madeI entirely of beaver, while the
crown remains of plain felt. Some IN
trimmed hats have the brims covered with
ostrich feathers, others again have just
narrow band of feathers at the edge OF the
brim. The "Capeline" felt hats are twisted
into every imaginable shape and form, the
newest trimming being sable tails, but far
more general is the ostrich feather, for
which the demand is so great that the price
has considerably gone up especially for
the Liliputian tips, which are not only
placed around the crowns, but border the
brims. Cocks plumes trim many new hats,
and are accompanied by boas of the same
feathers, and muffs trimmed to match.
Cloth is universally used for millinery pur-
poses, plated for crowns, which often
show an appliqued bird on the centre, and
fur or beaver edges.
The varieties of modes in which the wide
brims can be twisted are really endless,
and distinctive class is of felt with q
crown of hatters' silk, which means the
same material as is used for mems high
hats. In regard to the hats with close
brims, the Spanish element prevails. The
Carmen" for example, in felt, has the all
round brim turned up almost as high as
the crown. and visible beneath 1t two folds
of soft red silk like the handkerchiefs which
the matadors wear. The trimmings are Of
velvet and three soft, silk pom-pons. The
so-called "Matador" shape has the brim
simply stitched in four rows, or covered
with net work of chenille, with a pointed
crown, adorned with pom-pons of silk or
feathers. The ''Valrose" is another Span
ism hat with the brlm not so close to the
crown, which is rounding on top.
The fan-shaped bonnet formed OF organ
plaits in velvet or cloth, with jetted border
ings, are in favor, and so is the new heart
shaped bonnet. Leather trimmings are
used and great deal of Jet. One pretty
device is jetted OWLS head placed imme-

The New Time Table.

Passengers will remember that the train
for Milford to-day will leave at 40 am.
instead OF pm. The train leaving at
pm. for the south will not run further
than Juab. The morning train for the east
will hereafter leave at at a. M instead of
$40 am. There are two trains each day
Tor Butte and Portland leaving at s 10 a. m
and pm. instead of at 5 pm. as hereto
fore. The afternoon train for the east
will hereafter leave at 3 80 IN instead of
8 pm. Trains for Cache valley points will
leave at $40 am. $3.50 pm. and pm, Civ
ing the Cache valley people better train ia
cilities than ever before enjoyed. The
changes in arrivals of trains are noted be-
low: The train from Milford heretofore
arriving at 10 am. will on the new time
card arrive at pm. The morning train
from the south starts from Juab and will
arrive as heretofore at 10 am. The east
ern train hereafter will arrive at :35 a. IN.
instead of 30 a. IN. This train will connect
with an express train from Butte and Pert
land and Cache valley points. A train will
arrive from Ogden at 10 80 am. making
connection With a train direct from Park
city and Cache valley points. The Atlantic
express will arrive at $40 pm, instead Of
30 pm. This train will also furnish
connection from Butte and Portland, also
Cache valley points. The local express
from Ogden will arrive at 7:20 PIN. AS
heretofore 10th of the through trains be-
tween Salt Lake and Butte will carry Pull
man sleepsrs. The regulrr trains between
Salt Lake end Cache valley will carry day
coaches. The time between Salt Lake and
Denver is made in less than twenty-four
hours, without changes. Passengers
should notice these changes in order not to
miss connection with either outgoing or in
coming trains. The time between Salt
Lake and Milford is reduced to thirteen
hours and twenty minutes, instead of six

ing style, but that every woman should
seek in her walking costume, be it CASH
mere, cloth, homespun or vicuna, to pre-
serve an effect Of elegant sobriety. The
fanciful exaggeration, which is permissi-
BILE for evening dresses and acceptable in a
box at the theatre, is hideous transgreS
sion against the laws of good taste when
applied to street costumes. A real novelty
is the Russian dress, recently prepared in
Paris. 1t is made of indigo blue cloth, and
the front breadth of the depth of half
yard is covered with steel metallic spots.
The bodice is made as a jacket Of the Rus
sian cut, very full in the basque, and bor
dered throughout with chinchiila, the juno
ton of bodice and basque being hidden by
a belt of cossack design In tilagree gold and
silver, having large centre ornament and
pendent ends. The sleeves are fastened
to the elbow on the inside of the arm with
steel buttons.
French women it would seem, for the
time being, have ignored almost any mate
rial, save wool and velvet, and the choice
Of gowns made of the former predominates.
An especially pretty example is made of
gray pole de cheure; the front covered with
large distinct designs in black Astrachan
weaving. 1t is fan-plaited at the back,
with just sufficient draping in the front
breadth TO soften the outlines OF the figure
Long basques and Louis XIV. coats have
much to recommend them. In many cases
the junction of the basque and coat is hid
den by black guipure. a brown vicuna
with priest bead spots the size of half
dollar is made up in a plain skirt with
leather guipure trimming. The sleeve is
full at the top and tight at the wrist, the
bodice pointed, and all trimmed to match.
A pointed chiffon with black spots makes
a lovely gown for evening wear. The ma
terial is 80 thin that the spots look either
gray or black, according to the silk skirt
worn beneath. Carton crepe, with the
handsome white silk embroidery picked out
with gold thread. forms beautiful front
for tea gown. The crepons of the softest,
prettiest shades are very taking. A dress
composed of delicate pink and of the palest
green crepon is made up over pale green
silk, with apple blossoms for trimmings.
Nothing could well be prettier for evening
costumes than the newest and finest kinds
of embroidered lisse. Primrose lisse EN-
broidered with primrose and white, aud
cream lsse embroidered with white silk
and gold thread, can not be rivaled.
An evening dress most uncommon in
style is of black embroidered gauze. The
bodice is loosely draped across in front and
is almost covered with black silk drops
These are repeated on the skirt, the front
of which is full and gathered into large
diamonds, and at each gathering thread are
punches of black silk drops.

and took with him an invitation from the
Chamber of Commerce in this city request
ing the association to hold Its next annual

that city was chosen, but Salt Lake city
was good second, with Pittsburg third
and New Orleans fourth. Tue general
passenger agents Of the railways inter

had already evinced their hearty and
active CO cooperation in this matter

TT BUTTONED UP BEHIND.


Who Wanted to Go to New York.
Mr.. Heusner is the local passenger
agent Of the Michigan Central railroad.
Everybody has soma funny experience
in life, and Mr.. Heusner is not an ex-
ception. A gentleman went to him re-
Gently and said he wanted to send his
daughter to New York; that she was a
young girl, and one who had never
travelled long distance. He was anx-
ious to have her placed under the care of
some one who would take an interest in
her and see that she reached her destina-
ton safely. The agent, as was his duty,
related the advantages Of his company's
limited. The father of the young lady
was still unsatisfed.
''Have you maid on your limited?"
he asked Mr.. Heusner.
The agent said no, and-as was his
duty under the circumstances-said that
such an attache was not necessary to
anybody's comfort
The father of the young girl still hest
tated to purchase a ticket. 4 think, "
he said, ''that in the present case maid
would be very handy. I'll tell you con-
fidentially, however, how it is. Ny
wife has had her dressmaker at the house
for the last ten days getting the young
lady ready. And the dress is finished.
I wish you had maid ON your train"
Glow old is the young LADY," asked
Mr.. Heusner.
About Is, going on, said the circum-
spect father, who had been well drilled
at home.
''Old enough, 1 should think" said
the agent, ''to arrange her own dress"
'';She could get it off easy enough" re-
piled the father. t'But she couldn't get
it on the next morning."
81 don't quite understand" said the
agent, who began to be perplexed at this
turn.
tYou don't?" queried the father. 'sThe
blasted thing buttons up behind, and
it's the first dress of that kind she ever
had" roared the parent, his face like a
dipped lobster.
The agent recovered from the ludicrous
situation in time to say, "Well, sup
pose she has other dresses besides this
one"
Eyes, plenty of 'em; but she and hel
mother have got it into their heads that
she can't get to New York unless she
goes in the dress that buttons behind,
said the father.
The agent appeared nonplussed, bu
only for moment, for the resources Of
railroad agent are without number
'I have it." he said. s'Let her turn tn,
dress around"
The father felt of his chin in that con
templative manner which a man ha:
when he is between the devil and the
deep sea. Then he came to the front
THAT won't do" he said. 'sThe dres:
has hustle in it,
whats the use of her taking off the
dress at ala" said the agent, as his face
glowed with the discovery.
'I'll go home and talk the matter
over" replied the father, about whose
alabaster front there had grown large
fonts OF perspiration since he had en-
tered the Office.
''The affair."" said Mr.. Heusner, sspre
sents new feature in the railroad bust
ness, and one which will be discussed al
the next meeting of the agents. The
father has not returned, and am afraid
of the result. Chicago Tribune

diately over the centre of the forehead, but
as general rule the trimmings are all
massed at the back, on the crown of the
head.
New combination boots and shoes are of
English manufacture. They have been
adapted to ladies wear, and calculated to
save many colds, and at the same time dis
pense with the distressing rubber over
shoes. These boots are made in varying
degrees of stoutness according to the re
quirements of the wearer, and are perfectly
water-tight. The sole of the boot consists
of three parts leather sole extending
from ting heel of the boot to the front, then
vulcanized rubber, covered by another
leather sole. They afford positive security
against damp feet, and yet complete venti-
lation is obtained.
A lovely novelty is the gold shoe which
glitters charmingly in the ball room. The
kid of which the shoe is composed
is richly gilded, and the heels have the eff
feet of FURNISHED gold. The adornment is
completed by stars of paste jewels upon the
toes. The same kind of shoe may likewise
be had in silver, and the latter is the most
fashionable c1tdussure for bridal wear, and
is infinitely more becoming to the foot than
white kid or white satin. L'EToILE.

Decidedly the most stylish amongst
feather trimmings for evening dresses and
opera cloaks are ostrich combined with
marabout. The white ecru trimmings are
exquisitely perfect, so soft and fluffy, but
with stronger characteristics than mara

than the latter, for, the feathers being sepa-
rate, each throws shadow on those be-
