THE SEASONS FASHIONS.

New Things for Fall Wear In Feminine
Costumes.
One of the notable features of the
new autumn styles is the decrease in
the size of sleeves. There is little
probability that small sleeves will
come in for long time, for the large
ones have been much more comforta-
BILE and easy to manage, and everybody
is satisfied with them; but last season
their enormous proportions made it i'm
possible to wear anything in the way
of ordinary wraps, and women who
had those which were ever so hand
some were compelled to put them aside,
and either buy new or get along as
best they could. The latest sleeves
droop a little over the elbows, and are
reasonably full at the tops. The
strafghs portion from wrist to elbow is
fairly csose-ftting, and is in most of
the new suits entirely untrimmed.
Some costumes, however, have deep.

The princesse dress is enjoying its
usual bit of attention. Almost every
season few handsome costumes of
this sort are brought out, and as they
are very becoming to some figures.
there is always demand for them.
The momentary fancy for linen cape
collars seems to be waning. They are
not, as rule, specially becoming and
are only liked as a novelty. Some of
the latest costumes have sleeves per-
fectly straight from shoulders to
wrists. being followed out under the
arms and at the inside of the cuffs to

becoming or very comfortable, and are
not liked as well as those with puffs
and the regular leg-o-mutton shape.

The shoulders and entire front of this
