NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Never before has such variety i1 outdoor garments. both in shape and material, been put before purchasers. Jackets lead and from very short ones, some on the blouse order. extend to twenty-seven inch lengths, these being exclusive of the Norfolk shape. Monte Carlo coats in great lengths. these being prestige and vie with three quarter coats, while long cloaks are now in acknowledged supremacy. Many i'll effects, however, result from the wear ing of this last style of garment on the street The handsomer are adapted ex- clusively to carriage wear; plainer ones reaching to the bottom of pedestrian skirts, are in better taste, bus will be found inconvenient enough when win ter slush will arrive. For carriage wear. the richest fabrics, finished in most ornate manner. chiefly white or ecru lacej are noticeable, but for jack cts, much favor will be shown those in Zibeline and other rough or hairy woven materials. Fine cloth in black or the tan shades, continues to find fa- vor among exclusives and is proportion ately expensive. All coverings show loose fronts. either single or double, in QEIGIeUCe
 Cloth gowns in white or light evening shades, have remarkable prominence in openings of showy dinner and recep- tion dresses, but invariably the severe material is relieved by much open work embroidery or a complement often law ish of heavy white lace. Chiffon in fin ish is sometimes combined and in dressy wear this season, the intrusion of fur bands, usually quite narrow, is considered very stylish.

 Evening dresses in the higher types, are beautiful creations. Partiality is still shown for diaphanous fabrics and where an occasional gown is made in silk, an over drapery in net or chiffon. is eminently in order. A lovely ex- ample in pink taffeta, showing encirc- ling roses around the low corsage and festoons to match that head the chiffon fiource, is over draped by white net. Lack of novelty in outline and fabric is atoned for by wonderfully artistic combinations. Necks are cut either round or square and occasional very short sleeves or rather pretence of sleeves are seen. but usually sleeves ex- tend we'll down to the elbow and this with a view to a completion of angel drapery that is in very notable favor. As exceptional, princess outlines appear and in a notable exhibition there was enc Empire gown. For street wear. large offerings are made in pedestrian skirts that now have an assured posi- ton and for both gowns in general and independent skirts, dressmakers have
