Corded materials of every kind in
plain colors are very stylish, and Bed
ford cord, although brough out two
seasons ago, is increasing in popular
ity. Plisse cord is new self colored
wool fabric, woven in imitation of
small tucks, running crosswise and al
so lengthwise, but when made up, the
tucks will always appear lengthwise.
Winter crepons are brought out in all
fashionable hues, and are simply re-
production in wool, on large scale, Of
the crinkles in first quality Grape.
Diagonal serges are also in demand,
and being suitable for many different
occasions, and moderate in price,
meet the wants of those who cannot
afford varied wardrobe. Trimm ed
with ands of velvet headed by gal
loon, or simply double row or JET
nail heads, they are especially desira-
BILE. Embroidered and braided cash
meres are conspicuous among new
goods, and are very similar in genera
| style to those Of last winter, except
| that let beading now adds its attrac'
| tiOus TO the general effect and Otter
forms the entire border. The most
beautiful and varied assortment in the
city may be found at the leading house
of Lord d Taylor, where moderate
prices for first class articles is the
reigning principle.
COATS AND CAPEs.
In the way Of out door coverings
"Reefersu and Newmarkets remain
standard, but to be really stylish, out
must wear either long coat or cape
reaching to the knee. ana trimmed
with nail heads, heading, pasSemen
terie, or bOrdered with fur or coo
| feathers. These garments come j,
both rough and plain material, and al.
so in figures or stripes, in which cases
| a handsome border is the most suitable
trimming. 1t is upon plain beaver il
black, all the brown shades, blue ant
| Egyptian red, that the rage for jri
beading, finds opportunity for display
Coats are almost covered with jet, anC
on colored cloth the effect is some
what loud, but sanctioned by fashion
it is termed stylish. Capes are not
quite so heavily Ornamented AS coats
and a Y front aud back, with small
er one on either sleeve, or nail head
or bead passementeries, is very pop
| uIar style. High sleeves and Medic
collars are Indispensable with tllest
capes, and when fur is not used, al
ostrich feather trinninI, or one o
silk in imitation of feathers, is pu
around the inside of the collar, very
near the edge. -.
TRIMMINGS AND COLORs.
Fashionable trimmings are fiat, sucl
as silk and bead ptssemaQte braid
ing, applique figures, velvet and vel
vet ribbon; also nail heads, which arr
of all sizes, and run from pigmies tC
giants almost the size of a silver quar-
ter, with cut and faceted surfaces il
| in order To prevent n button-like ap
| pearance. Nothing is more in favO
/ than sleeves, collar and revers, stud
| ded throughout with small nail heads
and the skirts of the coat basque arr
ornamented in Il similar manner
Velvet is as popular for dress trim
ming as it is in millinery, and will bt
| used in both to an unlimited extent
Col0rs are so numerous in dress good
that no one is especially prominent
There are five or six shades in colder
brown, several of olive brown, beside!
| all the light tints; grays in abundance
some heIiotrope;a d peculiar shade o
| Egyptian blue, three or four othe
tints of blue, several of Egyptian red
and a crimson so eright as to be alb
soluteIy startling. Green comes in fo
a good share Of favor, and is largely
intermixed with other colors. In mil
linery the variety of shades is yer!
great, light coiored fets being quite a
stylish AS those in black. Turban
with rolling brims and a color showins
at intervals along the brim witt
colored crowns, are very fashionable
but only suitable for very young per
