o NEW YORK. October 2s.-French no.
velty woods in one or two colors, or
mClGpge OF many shades, have taken
firm hold on popular f,.vor, and honey
comb weaves, the familiar hop-sacking
or basket check patterns, are rendered
novel by brilliant color combinations,
diagonal stripes or changeable hues,
contrasting strongly with the smooth
finished French broad cloths. a partl-
ality for fancy weaves combined with
changeable effects is evinced in the
newest bengalines; black or colored
MORE, antique or fancy moires are, how
ever particularly prominent, showing
large and small satin dots, black pin
head dots on pie rose, Nile green, or
ciel blue, often with some floral figure
Of another color. Black moire is extern
sively used in mbination, especially
on plain colored, dark woolens or on
velvet capes, and fairly rivals the latter
material In general popularity. 10 new
silks, extremely small colored figures on
black satin grounds, Bayadere stripes
or minute white designs on black are
leading favorites; at the same time bro
cadeS in self-colors or in contrast, go 70
make up that endless variety which OF
ten renders selection a different matter.
The ascendency of green and purple is
mistaken, although the black and white
"fad" is more recent.
FANCY FLANNELs
are quite a feature among fall goods;
stripes or dots in contrast, palm-leaf de-
signs, call over" silk embroidered pat
terms in very delicate shades, or cOlored
/ figures on black grounds are used for
ladies' wrappers and saCQues, or for
children's dresses, c!Oaks or under
skirts. C0lored embroidery on flannel
Skirting was never more stylish, and
while all the standard colOrs are repre-
seuted, pale hues are in great favor.
and by using Ivory soap and luke-warm
water, the finest fannels, colored en-
broidery, rich laces, children's colored
Sacques or crepon cloaks may be washed
without the slightest risk Of fading.
SKIRTS REMAIN
about four and half yards wide, those
designed for street wear clearing the
ground, at the same time not really
short. Numerous styles of corsages
are shown, q seam at the middle Of the
back, with a broad side form, being a
change from full backs and invisible
fastenings, which last are by no means
out of STYLE. Pointed or round waists
are equally appropriate for day or eve
ming, aud round baSQueS, buttoning
over TO the left, with u double row OF
buttons, almost the size of butter plates,
and broad revers, with or without fancy
vests are In great favor, being suitable
for either plain or handsome material,
aud admitting Of changes regarding
trimmings. A new sleeve, having a
pun al the top, with rows of shirring
below, and second puff at the elbow
with shirred cuff, was seen at late
opening of French dresses, and while
not absolutely new, ribbon or jet passe-
menterie straps are used over white
lace or COlOred velvet sleeves, dropping
from the shoulder over the elbow.
TWO PASIERNS OF BEOCADE
NAV now be used in one costume, as in
a superb dinner costume, the skirt Is OF
white brocade, With long open coat
bodice with pink and white brocade
with immense sleeves and large reverS
edged with jeweled pasemeuterie and
deep white lace A cleopatra" front
OF pale yellow chiffon, set TO half
tight jeweled band, imparts an air of
oriental lauguor. The skirt Of ANOTHER
dinner dress is rich pale green change
able silk covered With black pin head
dots, trimmed with three narrow bands
OF Russian sable, the front opening on
q green changeable velvet Y, reaching
70 the waist. The long green velvet
coat bodice has q pink chiffon vest
strapped across by pink satin ribbon
confined at tho center by rhine stone
stone buckles. A white Fenetan point
lace covers the neck, falling over the
green velvet sleeves and wide
Venetian lace band is laid plain
on the velvet Y at the front OF the
skirt; the sleeve cuffs being edged by
lace and Russian sable. A white silk
evening dress, with black satin, box
plated foot border about two inches
wide, with narrow jet galloon at the
centre, is a pretty illustration of the
prevailing fancy. a fine black lace
skirt, woven in a floral pattern, falls
over the white silk uuderskirt to the
foot border, and the white silk added
BASQUE is cut low neck, with each seam
Snapped by jet passementerL The elbow
sleeves are four silk rullleS, covered
with black lace matching the skirt, and
around the neck are two full silk ruff
fes, similarly yelled in lace.
COMMON GRADE HOsIEeY
shows no marked change. but fancy
goods are especially attractive, and here
as elsewhere, intermixtures of black
with light colors are an important feg-
ture. A broad black stripe, sometimes
of embroidery or open work, extends
from the toe TO about midway between
the knee and inStep at the centre, not
however, concealing the principal color
from a side view. Three cOlOrs and
ornamentation above the "black boot"
are very general, Vandyke points, min
iature Effcl towers, or bands In three
shades of the same color, with q cerre-
spending band at the top, are all taste
full STYLES. The Clan plaids are brought
ont i'm silks or cashmere, the former s.
per pair, the latter $3.50, and five col
ored clocks on black, combining three
colOrs are among novelties.
