New Fall and Winter goods are charact
erized by rough effects in weaving and
close, indistinct mixtures of color. To
bring about the former and the latter as
well in truth, bourette dottings are largely
employed; their well known unevenness,
imparts inequality of surface and scattered
at random, they prevent regularity in color
ing. Boucle fnishings are used with
ike purpose and perhaps are most striking
when placed on very large twills. Twist
ed stripes fulfill similar design; small in
dented checks are on the same order and
indentations otherwise placed, produce the
coveted rise and fall of surface.
come up half hidden and in furtive sort
of way and while usually, as BELTS the
time, the general result is one of much
sobriety, yet there are some plaids rend-
cred indescribably rich by reason of bright
hued streaks showing forth with captivat-
ing indistinctness. Black traceries rising
upon eolored ground works are notable
factor in these goods or bourette dots give
as nothing else can do, the required toning
down result More atlistinct cde0rings on
the few smooth surfaced goods, are rend-
cred comparatively indistinct, by close,
INTERVENING patterns that sweep in and out
without clear outlines and much use is made
of one tone of the same hue upon another,
set in irregular, slightly branching designs.
SILKS,
also seen at Lord and Taylor 5, display
preponderanee of intricate designs COlors
are shot together with irridescent effects
and dotted over by satin or showing lines
of color set in bars or stripes and where
floral stripes appear, the ground work is
specked with dots or very small lines.
Elegant silks are woven with velvet designs
rising from illuminated surfaces and in
order properly to show off the ground
work the velvet portion is black or dark
hued Crepons of moderate price, are
seriously interfered with by the various
new dress goods, but in the higher types,
are in such demand that importers who
hesitated regarding them. have been finally
compelled to bring them over. In
SLEEVES AND SKIRTS,
some noteworthy changes must come, vet
hardly to the extent of causing last winter 5
style to appear oatFe. Many quite fash
ionable dresses are still made with large
sleeves or as a compromise with the Marie
Antoinette contours, there may be a sue
cessiOn of puffs around close fitting foun-
dation. Extremists here and on the other
side however, viii wear close topped sleeves
with small puff at the elbow and a ruffie
at the wrist 1t Is predicted also, that
front breadths of contrasting material viii
be much used and that panels and tablier
breadths viii be fashionable Certainly

with jealousy, any inovations on the grace

the STYLES are pronounced beyond anything
seen hitherto, in the way of width. extnva-
gance in trimming and richness in eoloring.
Hats frequently have very broad brims and
set thereupon are very wide open wings,
large loops of very wide ribbon that extend
out on al sides, or both together The
leading style in feathers, shows head
set between branching wings, but there are
single quill feathers or unique garnitures

brims, and in general much use is made Of
rich Autumn blossoms. Ribbons are mag
