ed velvet or satin, antique, but in case of
greater expense, tucks often alternate with
shirrings Elsewhere, tucks are notice
able and form quite an element. Birds,
of large size chiefly, are more used than
wings and there is special employment of
single quill feathers that appear occasion
ally by the dozen or more on single hat,
not punched together, but spread out and
sometimes presenting rough appearance
as if just plucked, though on the other
hand, deliberately prepared quill feathers
are equally noticeable.
MATERIALS.
Early corners to the city FROM seashore and
mountains, have been busted in furnishing
up gowns damaged by country wear, for a
winter 5 campaign in town Many dresses
by the aid of Ivory soap are made new
again, while the convenient fashion by
which adults and children may wear sim
liar materials, renders possible freshen-
ing, by the same process, of parts of gar
ments for juveniles of the family Some
times, too, fashionable appearance is i'm
parted by the use in touches, Of novelties
brought out for the Fall and examples can
be cited in which chiffon or mousseline
vests have been replaced by shirred satin
that is quite new Fabrics ready shirred
are conspicuous among recent offerings
being seen chiefly in satin or mousselme,
but even velvet does not escape general
infection. SO far, these shirred goods
have been used for vests, crosswise add
tions on coIsages and for sleeves, but the
last few years have been so full of sur
prises and unlocked for combinations, that
one may readily quote the French proyerb
sit is the unexpected which happens.
STYLES IN MAKING
are greatly affected by the enormous pop
ularity of blouses and perhaps six out Of
seven news gowns on exhibition, show
either entire loose waists or full, dropping
fronts. With these baggy outlines, jacket
effects and also deliberately trimmed backs
appear not unfrequently and as may be
imagined, the general look is often tawdry
Beautiful corsages are made of mousseline
or chiffon overlaid by spangled nets that
glow in iridescent style or in single hue, and
become potent as factors in dressy effects
\ noteworthy skirt seen at recent open
ing, is of black gros grain silk (gros grain
is once more fashionable) made with five
graduated founces that reach almost to the
waist, each hounce trimmed with black
velvet Whether such styles will be worn,
is problematic, but in general skirts hang
close, with flllness still at the back In
sleeves, there is no noteworthy change
from summer outlines
Out door blouses are of velvet or satin
combined usually with fur and very much
trimmed Plain cloth is preferred in jacket
shape, unless as part of dress, the greater
number of tailor made gowns, showing
blouse waists.
Lucy n. You cannot 90 amiss in
selecting blouse waist of plaided silk to
wear with your black skirt Plaided waists
are rage and independent waists, in gen
eral, are in more vogue even than former
ly. Lucy CARTER

Regular Correspondence of the Advocate.
OCTOBER ), 1897.
The fancy for jacket effects has not en-
tirely passed away but fancies of every
nature fade before the fury for entire
Russian blouses or blouse fronts on waists
otherwise more conventional The craze
is phenomenal and more surprising, since
ingenuity could hardly devise more un-
slightly outlines than bagging at the waist
line. Belts in metal OF ribbon finished by
ornate buckles, keep pace with blouses;
since they are necessary consequence and
form displays in windows and show eases,
which attract attention and surprise from
the most Indifferent passers by. Even
FUR GARMENTS
are affected by the madness of the hour
and hang in loose, ungraceful contour.
Outdoor garments in cloth or velvet are
devised in like manner, but favorite idea
is to combine material and fur so as to
render the garment more pliable. Yet the
real attractions of a jaunty, well fitting
jacket assert themselves to some extent,
in spite Of transitory fancies and there are
shape seither close or. half fitting and in
lengths, from twenty seven to thirty three
inches. Capes are still to be worn and
have conventional fare or come tight
fitting at the waist, either at the back only
or both back and front, in such case, there
being opportunity for the inevitable belt.
In

the use of audacious metal ornaments and

piece or as ribbons is affective in the di-
rection of quiet elegance Shirring is a
new and constant feature in millinery.
