NEW YoRH, Oct. 3l.-Ncw silks arc in
direct contrast to each other in design
and coloring, yet equally fashionable.
The Partially evinced last season for
colorcd designs on black grounds is
again set forth by beautiful pompadour
figures in brilliant pink, crimson. green
or yellow on black satin, and will ordi-
narlly form the entire dress; similar
figures in gold, silver and tinscl being
shown Tor evening. Strips are also con-
spicuous among tho latter class, and the
surface is dcicatcly shaded MORE,
travcrsed by narrow columns in several
different hucs, with two or three black
satin stripes introduced by way OF con-
trast, these last causing the light colors
to stand out with great clcarncss and
beauty. A fair proportion OF brocaded
silks in stylish shades are shown, and
when the pattern is very large COM
binations with plain silk are employed.
China silks will also be worn in the
evening, OH informal occasions, and,
by reason OF Responsiveness, will
probably remain III style during the
following summer. Winter crcpons
are novel and beautiful, the weave be-
ing so peculiar rs TO attract immediote
attention. In one variety, the ground
work is magniticd imitation in wool.
OF the crinkles in first quality Grape; in
another style, the material is formed OF
alternate rows OF shirring and cording,
the former being little over an inch
wide, and tho latter trilie narrower,
both running lcngthwisc PEissc cord,
another branch OF the same family is
woven in small tucks, both across the
width and lengthwise, but when worn,
will always appear to be lengthwise.
Every variety OF corded goods is very
stylish, and although brought out two
seasons ago, the popularity OF Bedford
cord is undiminishcd. Beautiful and
varied assortments OF beaded cash
mercs such as are seen at Lord & lay
lor's, continue in great favor.
IN HANDSOME TRIMMINGS
passcmcnteries lead, either OF silk
throughout, or OF beads, or 4 combina-
ton OF the two. Graduated disks OF
passcmcMterie' with leaf pattern bor-
der below, trim very handsome cos
tunes OF plain cloth. Colorcd passc7
mcntcric is very stylish and metal beads
in gold, silver and various other colors
are woven among the delicate silk cord,
imparting L soft radiance, Which is pc
culiarly attractive. The extent to which
jet is worn can scarcely be exaggerated
and among other accessories to the tot
let are elegant girdles OF passementerie,
with long pendants, and spiral belts
that can be worn around the waist or
drawn down Ia Bernhard, with large,
cut clasps in bow or knot and other de-
signs. Medici collars, that may be
transferred from one dress to an
other, are OF the finest cut Jet,
also in colors, and are very becoming to
delicate faces. A nail head is now
very indefinite term. All flat jet orna-
ments from pin head in size to sill
yer quarter, are called nail heads. They
are an economical and stylish trimming
and are much used with or without vel
vet; dotting the sleeves and basque and
put on skirts in points. Velvet is an
important factor, not only in new cos
tunes, but also IN remodeling those
that are half worn. 1t is not every one,
however, who can afford velvet, and
therefore the best substitute that can
be recommended, is a high grade OF
velveteen. The hest qualities, by
son OF fine finish and good coloring, can
hardly DO distinguished from the fabric
which it replaces, and is rendered es-
pecially stylish when studded by nail
heads that are quite rage.
MILLINERY
is taking on much that is bizarre in the
way OF combination and color. In
window on Broadway may be seen
round, black hat trimmed with fur,
jet bandeau, white lace, peacock
aigrette and wide double faced satin
strings. On another fiat, round shape
in light tan, are four pairs OF wings; in
front pair OF pink wings, then
another OF green, then crimson and
lastly blue. In addition, high, wired
loop OF shaded ribbon towers above the
wings. Small iur heads arc as popular
rs they were last season, and from be-
meath cluster OF ostrich plumes q
head peeps cunningly. Sometimes four
heads are grouped together, with an
aigrette in the centre. An evening hat
consists OF pair OF wings rising nine
inches in height, placed in front and
pinl, chiffon folds meeting at the back
under 4 chiffon roscttc. The hair
dressed high, fills up the space.
DEMI-LoEG
fu- capcs Of mink, Persian lamb, Krlm-
mcr or seal, are in especial demand
among leaders OF fashion, and exempliiy
the extreme popularity attained by
dcmi-long capcs in general. The major
ity OF ladies will OF course continue to
wear such as coming to tho waist only,
were in style last winter, since the nov.
elites just mentioned are quite expen-
sive. Seal sacques likewise are affected
BY tho fancy OF the day, Tor increased
