Street Costumes, Velvet sleeves
Jackets and Millinery.

IF present indications are verified,
street costumes will be of brighter
colors than have been in many seasons,
and leading houses are showing GRIM |
son dresses in several shades for street
wear. These rich hues are somewhat
tempered by fur trimmings ana VIII
probably be confined to the young and
slender; class who can safely In
dulge in such conspicuous garb. very
large velvet sleeves render these
dresses more striking than ever, and a
most common place gown Is stamped
as stylish by velvet sleeves, vest and
narrow foot trimming to match. Mixed
goods are tailor-made; medium-length
round tasques, or in long coat bodice
style with hip seams, with or without
stylish little capes falling tritie be-
low the shoulder and tied at the throat

PLAInS AND CHANGEABLE
fabrics are very prominent as entire
costumes. or combined with plain ma
terial, stri ped or plaided silk or velvet,
and economy or good taste may be
turned to advantage by the stylish
combination of partly worn dresses.
Short jackets are even more frshiona-
BILE than during the summer season,
and seven In ten new costumes show
Jacket fronts. When handsome ma
terial is used, they are suitable for
evening wear, but a sleeveless black
velvet "Eton" jacket trimmed with
colored passementerie and worn over
bright plaid silk waist. Is sufficiently
dressy for afternoon entertainments.
There is q great partiality for sleeve
less Jackets in order to show the con-
trasting sleeves, skirts remaining so
plain that almost all the trimming Is
on sleeves and corsage. A rage exists
at present for velvet sleeves, either In
harmony or in direct contrast, but af-
ter all, the finishing touch to an ele-
CANT costume are handsome gloves
which will neither tear nor rip, and
"the celebrated Fontaine gloves" are
proof against either annoyance.
They are brought out in all fashionable
colors, styles and lengths. and on the
inside are always stamped up & P" If
they cannot readily be procured, by
writing to the importers and manufac-
turers, Pings & Pinner, 1884 & 1856
Broadway, and requesting the address
of their nearest agent, they will send
the desired information; also enclose q
card emitting the holder to discount
of ten per cent. on the first pair
purchased.
THE SHORT CAPEs

will give place to three quaker length
Jackets ofsmooth beaver cloth or rough
goods, In tan, blue, green or black,
usually with loose fronts and half.tight
backs. Sleeves are large but not high,
and velvet, plush or fur sleeves are very
much In favor; and even striped SILK

same purpose on garmentsintended for
carriage or evening wear. Handsome
fur, the most elegant trimming, Is al
WAYS the first choice, but braidings OF
