George Eliot talks of the facility with
which mortals escape knowledge. This has
especial application to knowledge OF gowns.
There are wild and conflicting stories afloat
of things we are to see this autumn, but
here are few of-the things that may really
be depended upon:
Waists will be shorter, but not definitely
short for some time.
Paniers will be seen more frequently.

SEPTEMBER.
ErtciaI to THE SUNDAY CALL

NEW YORK, Aug 81, 1S91.-There is a
flower which blooms at this season in the
marsh grass all along the Hudson, which
never seems to me to be flower Of the
autumn. 1t is large white hollyhOck, and
the pink of its great, tender petals is as
fresh and delicate as ii it were the fafrest
and the daintiest Of the roses Of June. 1t
has broad, pale green leaf, not like the
foliage of September, and the droning OF
the bees above a long strip of meadow
starred with it has lazy and delightful
sound.
talk about the hollyhock, which has no
intimate connection with the autumn fash
ions, chiefly because at a grape luncheon
given this week in a fine old Hudson River
country house The slight. fair daughter Of
the hostess wore dress that might easily
have been inspired by the hollyhock ideal.
1t was delicate pink batiste, of the soft
wild hollyhock tint, that differs from the
rose tint only in having little more cream

The hustle will be worn again and very
generally. but will be, for the present, Of
very modest size.
The widening of the skirt at the bottom
does not mean hoopskirts. at least not yet
a while.
Sleeves will remain full at the top, and
will be drawn in tight from the elbow.
The corseIet bodice will be worn very gen.
orally.
The Louis coat will go out and then the
short jacket resume its interrupted popu-
larty.
Hats will continue fiat, but will restrain
their ambition within less expensive brims.
Two trOusseaus OF very considerable pre-
tensions have been finished in the city this
week, together with more dresses for Miss
Sallie Hargous, and an inspection of these
smart bridal wardrobes gives one fairly
clear idea Of what people are wearing and
are likely TO wear. One of the most inter-
esting Of these new toilets is figured. 1t be-
longs with the costumes especially designed
for Miss HargOus, and is pale fawn-col-
ored silk with long plain skirt and a long
lace jacket of exquisite Malines lace
fastened with broad pink ribbons. The
jacket of an extremely graceful cut and the
colors have been proved over and again
most becoming TO their wearer's pale dark
beauty.
The other two costumes, one for immedi-
ate wear and one substantial for October.
cannot escape, while l am talking of this
much talked of trousseau, two or three words
of mention. Both are illustrated The
dress for September is in fawn color and
pink, like the afternoon gown just de-
rIbed. The material is batiste studded
with large pink waters and trimmed with
pink ribbons. There is a simple little
glmpe in white crepon cloth and white
on skirt and sleeve and belt. The hat which
goes with it is Of black lattice-work lined
with fawn, and trimmed with pink plumes
The autumn walking dress shown be-
side 1t was chosen from among something
like 100 plaid designs sent TO Newport for
tie prospective brides celebration. The
colors are fawn and rich chestnut brown
with single threads Of gold and dark blue.
The skirt is of plain fawn-colored cloth,
and the pointed vest set into the bodice is OF
fawn color also. Miss Hargous is wise
enough, as you will have seen when you
have read thus far, 10 stand royalty by any
color that has proved its worth sufficiently
to be admitted within the ranks OF trusted
friends.
In one of the other trou7seaus was fawn-
colored dress also. The material was
crepon lined with fawn silk and edged with
band OF light chestnut colored velvet EN-
broidered with bronze beads. The corsage
