Fannie Field On Fashions.
A marked popularity of high-clas
wool novelties for fall and winter wear
is rich color combinations; and also al
upper weave of black, halfveiling /
bright-colored groundwork. An illus
trstion Of this is the "Boucle (curled
plaids," covered with tiny curls o
black camel's hair, over gorgeously
colored plaid foundation. A somewhat
similar material has a changeable greer
and crimson surface, with raised greer
diagonal stripes, quite close together
between which are black knottings ane
curls, modifying but not concealing tht
bright hues below. Another silk anf
wool fabric has changeabls
ground, over which very small, raised
triangular velvet figures in contrast
form broad stripe, and a narrow coro
stripe. resembling colored beads on G
string. runs diagonally across the velvet
stripe. These materials are the mosi
recherche now in the market. 48 inches
wide and ranging in price from $3.50 to
900 per yard. 1.-Two tone" fabrics are
less expensive, combining but two
stylish colors, either in corded OF
raised stripes on contrasting surface, or
partly defined figures woven in
the material. A tendency toward
''basket weave" or hop-sscxing ef-
fects is noticeable, and in making. up a
broken stripe they are valuable access
sories. Changesble serges are very at
tractive medium-priced $50 cents per
yard) goods, and bourettee occupy quite
prominent position among heavy
woods. First quality cheviots show a
very liberal sprinkling of crimson, and
here, also, underlined stripes are seen to
great advantage.
THE FEW FALL SUITS
that are on exhibition at this early
date show no marked change. except
that there is less trimming on skirts,
and sleeves appear larger. new street
dress of first quality changeable serge is
trimmed with very small silk frogs ex-
actly matching the material, eighteen
being placed on each side seam OF the
front gore of the skirt, top and bottom,
leaving a vacant space at the middle.
The waist is medium-length added
basque, with frogs on the sleeves; small,
close fitting shoulder cape. cut open at
the sides and closed With frogs, and
very small vest of yellow silk ruff
fies. Sleeves are now plated instead
of gathered, as breadth is desired and
not height. A. handsome dress of dark
blue broadcloth has plain skirt with
two straps of black and white bead pas
eementerie, about 10 inches long, set at
each side of the front gore, over white
satin. The waist has a jacket front,
opening on black moire vest, with a
row of similar passementerie on either
side, and very broad white satin revers.
Dress materials and millinery are 30
beautiful this season that there never
was greater scope for the exercise of in
dividual taste; but, no matter how alb
sorbing the fall fashions may prove, no
lady ehould forget to replenish her sup
ply OF Murray & Lanman's Florida
water, as her toilet table would be in.
complete without this delightful per-
fume, as enjoyable in the autumn days
as in midsummer.
FALL AND WINTER JACKETS
Are long, falling to the knee, and in
many cases entirely covered by braid
ing, either standing or fat. Colors are
decided toned down with black, sleeves
are plated, collars with fsring ten
dency, and although the majority are
full at the back, below the waist, others
are quite plain. Most of the new short
capes are black, trimmed with white
guipure lace, put on fat, and the edges
finished by black net ruching bordered
with white. The shoulder cape is large.
without fullnese, square over the arms ;
a pointat the back and deeper one at
the front, trimmed around with black
and white ruching.
THE FELT sLATEAU
is the most popular shape in millinery,
with or without crowns, wide or narrow
brims, curved or crinkled into every i'm.
aginsble shape, and usually very heavily
trimmed. A peculiar style is illustrated
by fiat, round pieces of soft felt, in
white edged with black and vice versa !;
all fashionable hues, often times shaded
with two or three colors and intended to
be made up on wire frames, according to
individual idea. Short and long stick
pins are necessity in thu compilation Of
these varied fancies, and pearl bead or
Jet edgings are largely employed on
brims. A stylish fancy ia to
cut broad brimmed plateau
to the crown, directly in front,
and turn back the edges. filing the
space with large rosette and two ostrich
tips, standing upright, just back of the
folded edges. Brims are sometimes cut
in four places, but that is exceptional.
Too oes and capots exist only as neces-
sities, and broad-brimmed sailors are
varied by elk beaver crowns. Trim
mings are elaborate, embracing four or
five colors, but often very etiff, as the
fashion of placing two high wings or
ostrich feathers in front, seems to gain
in favor, and nothing more ungraceful
could be imagined. Velvet and ostrich
feathers are more stylish than ever.
and in the latter shaded hues
are popular, especially black and
white. Aigrettes are in great
demand. and dyed turkey-tail feathers,
ornamented with jet or fur are a good
substitute for ostrich plumes and more
durable. Flowers will be used to a con-
siderable extent, such as email crimson
or pink velvet rosee.
NO DECIDED CHANGE
is noticeable in colors. Green and pur-
pie are still leading shades. reinforced
by golden browns. Turquoise blue and
burnt orange are as yet the only nov
elites. FANNIE FIELD.
