New York, Nov. 9.-The Importance
Of having suitable dress lining can
not be too forcibly impressed upon
those who desire to dress in perfect
style. Lining is too often left to
chance, and, IL cheap remnant is
bought, it is generally put aside for
tho next garment without the least
idea that Il is unfit for tho service.
Now that the clinging style Of gown is
IN vogue, all Innings must be chosen
with this end in view, or failure will
be the result. For dark colols or black,
the most successful lining is the
Anderson quality Of tho Nubian fast
black lining, which is wide and
watered, and SO beautifully finished
that Ii looks like finely watered black
silk. Nubian fast black stamped on
the selyage Of percalines, aateens and
silicias, is a guarantee that the dye
will not rub of on or discolor the under
garments. Nearsilk, which Is offered
each season in all the latest Paris
shades, Is especially recommended as
substitute for fine silk Innings, as it
looks like silk, and wears better. Near
silk has become so vol known that it
is now possible to purchase the genuine
in all colors at any prominent store In
the country. Tho genuine can only be
sold ut % conts a yard. Lustral, a
newly invented lining, has tho advan-
tage OF perfectly fast coloring, so that
it can be washed and ironcd without
damage to color or finish. IL resembles
fine satin, and would mako a hand
some and durable lining for all tailor
made gowns, being Ieally preferable tc
silk, because SO much more lnsting.
Recent important openings show that
majority Of new gowns have fnlness
ut the back reaching from the waist,
perfectly tight styles being quite in
the minority. Tight outlines have,
however, given an impetus to princess
dresses, and n few elegant ones we're
on exhibition, but such outlines can
never become general, because they
require q perfect figure For dressy
gowns, black baby velvet ribbon is in
much requisition as a finish, and q
lovely dress OF pink cloth was trimmed
with loops OF baby velvet attached to
mall buttons on the skirt and the laco
| front. as likewise on the iacket. Juoket
| fronts. indeed, were never more fash
| ionatie, and for street gowns Eton
jackets lead, all others also being very
hHoTi. Appli9ue Vi plnch iooc un Wooi
| is in striking demand, and silk on
wool as we'll, and the use of oIden
| time silk fringe, with or without
silsen net, comes all the while more
rapidly into vogue In answer to in
quiry, moreover, it can be added that
indestructibe Grape" is 30 called
because absolutely uniniured by damp
ness or even thorough wettiDg, the
| dye, moreover, being perfectly pure.
| This elegant material is now used with
great freedom, and impafts its own
Incompatible finish to high class
| mourning outfits.
Styles in furs are the great subject OF
| interest at present, and, as inaugurated
by 9. q. Shayne, show remarkable
variety in the smaller kinds, the most
elegant OF which arc in Russian sable,
and, as he will not sell blended sables.
those shown are absolutely reliable,
and, coming from the largest stock In
tho world, are choice and last an in
credible time. Combinations OF fur
are greatly in order, coIlaryNtte being
made Of one kind with trimmings OF
another, or on jackets the revere are
preferably in contrast TO the garment,
as chinchilla or mink on seal, or Per-
sian lamb, or In Hudson Bay otter, the
natural on the plucked and here it is
well to specially recommend HudsonBay
otter, as It's wonderful durability in the
best grades atones amply for some in
crease in price. In small furs, fiat
| boas, much wider than those formerly
seen, are fashionable, and stylish col
| larettes are trimmed with tails and
heads in the back, us well rs in front,
| often forming an all around finish. A
stylish example shows two beads in the
I back among pendant tails, and in gem
eral an exhibition Of heads and claws
| is a special idea OF the day. In accord
ance with this, are rather large fluffy
furred animals that, with heads to cor
respond and claw provided feet, arc
hung about the fair one's shoulders,
and, as their protection is limited,
winter Jackets, whether independent or
| en- suite with tho gown, have extra
warmth. Fluffy furs in general are in
great demand, but jackets being close
| in outline, must come in short haired
\ fur, such as otter, seal or Persian
lamb, and in these garments special
| style attaches to tho SPADE jacket,
| that shows deep extension directly
| in front and ono 10 CORRESPOND In the
centre OF the back. Shoulder .capes,
though tight fitting about the neck,
| flare and ripple below, aud special style
attaches to outside tics Of velvet held
IN position at the throat by elegant
metal clasps, or sometimes merely
bow of veIset will be placed in front.
| Victorines with long stole ends and
high fsring collars. are very fashion,
able, and some are finished with a
| head on one side and.a tail on the other.
