PRINCE ALBERT COAT AND EVENING MANTLE.
in one window you will find among the
beautiful made up dresses one of that
color, and wherever seen it stands ont
from its fellows most aggressively, like
the gorgeous drum major among the
soldiers Its light is seen from afar off,
but it is pretty color for home wear
ON dull days, when the rain falls in one
J steady, incessant, dogged downpour
Then it shows up a point of light and
cheerfulness and is the right thing in
the right place. Around this are other
dresses of palmer made and more sober
color, the favorite being the warm, rich
browns. There are fecled goods with
little tufts of hair scattered over them,
and these are very little trimmed, while
the magenta and bluet gowns will take
an indefinite quantity of lace in differ
ent qualities, according to tie nature of
the goods, though the heavy vandyke
laces are seen with everything from silk
to thick wool.
The autumn millinery is extremely
sumptuous Nothing is too rich or cost
( ly forshat ornaments, and the hats them
selves surpass anything in the same line
have ever seen before. The felt plateaus
are richly embroidered in colors, mingled
with metals or covered with real lace,
black OF white, set on applique, or have
the crowns or brims ornamented with
gold or silver embroidery, into which
are worked many quite large gilt or sill
yer beads. Pearl beads, garnets and
other semiprecious stones and imitation
jewels are often wrought into the pat
tern. These plateau felt hats will be
pinched and plated up much as they
were last winter to bring them to the
proper form, and this form is always
adapted to the face of the person who
buys the hat. The trimmings are as di-
verse as the hats Some of them have
circular bands Of fur, set on about two
inches from the brim all around. The
trimming in such cases consists of
mixture of velvet bows, feathers and
flowers, with one stiff loop made Of the
fur. The bonnets are all sizes, materials
and forms. The oldest one / have seen
had crown of black velvet something
like crushed toque.
Directly ill front was white doves
head arranged with top knot of white
osprey aigret and with the two wings,
on the upper portions of which were a
few black feathers outstretched and
dropping down to the sides of the face.
The under part Of the wings showed
from the front, the silky texture of the
under side-of the feathers revealing a
new beauty. There was small bonnet
Of black velvet sewed with jet stars, and
on the front was large Alsatian bow
of cornfower velvet, with the inevita-
bic aigret, and mingled with that
were three blue velvet cornfowers |
could imagine this bonnet above the
blue eyes of some fair maiden, enhanc
ing her 1oveliness hundred times.
Mordore and chestnut brown in velvet
are rich and becoming colors. The NOR
9 looks like garnet at night. have
an impression that cornfiower blue
would require daylight to be at its best.
