each presents something new. One of the
most noticeable things is that WOODEN
changeable goods are very popular, lust as
they were in 1860.
The new fall wooden goods are now shown
in large numbersSand the most of them
have some under color. There are thick
woods where the surface is of dark color
and the tiguTes-for there are minute fig.
ures and dots-scarcely more than thread
thrown to the surface and these dots and
figures are of the same color rs that which
forms the changeable effect. Thus we see
fine gold or cardinal with dark brown, or
brown with emerald green. All of them
have the surface of the darkest shade Ore
effective pattern is green with black and
another with gold and dark blue. The
weave in these is close armure, or in some
cases sort of reps.
The plads are nearly all corded-that is,
those in colOrs. Among the plaids there
are many very striking patterns of large
figures made of alternate blue and green
checks, with lines of red, white and yellow,
and often black The blue is deep ultra
marine, and the green a decided shade Il
little darker than emerald. The combina-
ton is a daring one, but, after all, pleasing
There are other reps in poplin, with plaids
of different colors, notably one of red and
brown, with white and yellow. The red
and brown were the main colors, and the
general effect was more subdued than
brilliant. The black and white reps plaids
are certainly handsome when made up and
very stylish.
/ There are more different STYLES of broken
plaids in cheviots and other wooden goods
than can mention, but all of them are in
neutral tints and sober colors Black viii!
be very much worn by old and young but
all those light colored goods will have
many admirers. Broadcloth in all the
light tints, like biege, biscuit, tan, mode,
and all the grays, will be favorite This
cloth is not like the ladies' cloth of old.
This is thick and rich, with a pel{.ct nap,
like the broadcloth worn by men. Braid
ing and embroidery are both to be used for
garniture for the next month or so. and
then furs will be added. Fur as trimming
will be worn as generally as it ever has
been, and some think it will have greater
vogue than it did last year
/ saw two elegant fall costumes imported
for a very swell house. CO. had a skirt
laid in deep plaits from the sides to the
back, leaving the front smooth. The cor
sage was plain except for revers which were
richly embroidered in Persian colors The
coat was a loose sack in the back. In front
there was flat plastron, with velvet but
tons to match, down each side. There were
large gigot sleeves and a full plated collar
This costume was made of snuff colored
cloth and tailor finished.
The other was made of pearl gray cloth,
with plain round skirt just touching the
ground. Over this was another skirt
reaching nearly to the bottom, bound
with narrow roll of marten fur This
skirt was left open and faced with pale pur-
pie silk. There was Il belt of the same, and
the wide revers to the waist, the plastron
and the shoulder collar were all of the same,
but the revers, ETC., were all covered with
applique of white cloth, outlined with green
and gold. The whole was bound with fur.
The bishop sleeves had a simple band of
fur like that at the neck instead of cuffs.
There was border of fur around the pretty
toque to go with this. This is called a red
ingote costume and is very elegant.
The bishop sleevei is very graceful sleeve
and is better balanced than the gigots, and
