/ Fal, and winter dress materials are not
as vet marked by any novelties, but rather
the revival of former favorltes, such as
black or colored crepons, corded fabrics
of every description, and poplin plaids.
Bayadere styles lead in both straight or
undulatinp designs, the most unobtrusive
of which are corded poplins for tailor
suits. and from very expensive to ordi
nary fabrics, a tendency in that direction
is noticeable. Camel hail materials take
high rank, the Bayadere idea being car
ried ont by band of camePs hair run
ming crosswise at intervals so distinctly
marked as to be unmistakabe
BoUCIE PLAIDs
show delicate upper weave of black
camel's hair, beneath which are beautiful
colors. subdued but sill perceptible
through the tilmy yelling. Poplin plaids
are on corded grounds very similar to
what they were few seasons ago, and
the prudent mortal who put away black
Of colored crepon, any corded, repped or
checked stuff is now rewarded. A certain
proportion OF plain materials, as for ex
ample, ladies' cloth, still exists or Vene
tan CLOTH called by some writer's Wen
nese. occupies a good position. Scotch
mixtures and cheviots come as regularly
rs do the seasons, and for hard usage
nothing is 50 reliable.
IN FALL uREssMAkING
the tailor suit con IS first, and skirts will
| be very long, sepa! ate from the lining, and
| Jackets very short. Considerable variety
may be expected in jackets, some being
double or single breasted, others with
revers that show a fancy vest, but they
will all fit closely at the back. Braiding,
on cloth bands stitched at both edges are
the preferred trimmings. Sleeves are
gathered at the top, but almost tight at
the wrist, and an open collar lined with
tucked taffeta silk of the same shade as
! the suit OF contrasting color is a novelty;
but no matter how absorbing new styles
and materials may be, good managers will
| soon have their colored waists and deli
cate muslin costumes washed with Ivory
soap and laid away thus ensuring their
bright hues or pale shades for another
! season.
/ THE TWO PROMINENT FACTORS
in fall millinery are velvet and plumage !;
the latter (outside of ostrich plumes) is
stiffness itself, arranged in bands or two
crescent-s shaped pieces, which will always
be used in pairs. Wings, quilts, birds,
particularly pheasant or owl plumage, are
in strong demand, and even the guinea
fowl is this season exalted into a high
position. Nothing is now SO fashionable as
guinea fowl plumage Velvet is in great
variety, the most expensive being a com
bination of exquisite silk plaid with vel
vet tracery above, then comes dotted vel
vet, mirror velvet, OF plain silk with
Bayadere velvet stripes.
LARGE CROWNS
are embroidered, beaded OF spangled in
jet, Rhine stone, gilt, silver tinse on net,
silk or velvet and they will constitute the
grace and beauty of the fashionable hat
Jet, steel, or Rhine stone pins, buckles or
large ornaments are used with excellent
effect on velvet brims or crowns. Medium
sized colored felts are now sub rdinate to
trimmings, and new plaitled ribbons hav-
ing cords which draw them up into rutfies,
putfs or shirrings with marrow frills at
the edges presumably intended for felts,
ut the fashionable milliner always be-
slows her first attention on the expensive
hat.
THE RANGE OF MILLINERY CoLoKs
is very extended, and as large Broadway
house is devoting an entire window to
the display of blue the status of that
color is settled. Green is as popular as
ever, and the same may be said of purple.
Brown comes in many hues, and several
shades OF salmon pink are added to clean
pinks. Crimson is we'll represented sup
plemented by two Of three magenta tints,
while gray is almost completely ignored.
