| CORRESPONDENCE of the Journal.)
| Fall dress materials seem to include
everything but crepon, and gray SUIT
ings, especially oxford gray, is prom
lhent from utility rather than beauty,
as it is the most trying of shades. II
regular white knottings give much style
to black and gray mixtures, and similar
ornamentation appears in chestnut
browns, ''dregs of wine, various blue
/ shades, and green as we'll. Rough
camels hair fabrics are leading style,
and also the smooth varieties, not omit
ting those on the boucle order. \
great season for plaids is confidently ex-
pected, not only in respect to the clan
plalds, but every variety IN design or
coloring, as well as in black and white
combinations.
STRIPES
also play an important part, showing
the gayest or most sombre colors, in
wide or narrow designs, then again Just
perceptible in dark mixed goods. Many
stripes embody the clan colors, and
will be much employed for waists, and
to considerable extent for suits. The
fact that handsome silks are brought
out in paids almost assures their sue
cess. Everything on the yelveteen or
corduroy order Will be as acceptable to
the fashionist as plaids.
GREAT PREFERENCE
is shown to broadcoths for high grade
tailor suits, and the display of fifty diff
efent shades in Lord 4 Taylor's ele-
giant show window on Broadway, ELECTS
the admiration of all passers-by and
stamps them as leading fabric. a
good demand exists for mixed broad
cloths, but they do not present the ele-
CANT satin finish belonging to the
French broadcloth
PARTISAN DRESSES
show no change in skirts as yet, still
tight-titting around the hips, with the
inverted plat, and tlaring at the lower
edge. Contrasting stitched cloth bands
were the trimming of a high-grade vel
veteen, five rows being brought up the
back and over the sides, giving the hip
yoke effect. Etons with revers that
may be closed or open are used again,
and the blouse waist, or very short Elton
the latter for house wear appear new
by reason of novel trimmings, prom
inent among which are passementerie
pendants. 4 handsome corduroy walk
ing dress had the flare in inverted plaits
and jacket by no means short.
ALL THE FULLNEsS
III sleeves is below the elbow and gath
cred to a cuff, which has large piece
turned back, the edge sometimes cut in
scallops. a favorite finish to many fall
gowns is given with the new S. II. Il NJ
velvet braid skirt protector, which is
markedly superior to the old style bind
ings. 1t is Supplied more easily than any
other. since it requires but one sewing
to attach it to the skirt: it is particular
ly adapted to drop skirts and moreover
does not deface the Shoes
HATS ARE LARGER THAN EVER
and the heaviest of materials, such as
camel's hair cloth and velvet seem
to be in great favor
Ready-to-Wear hats come in felt
beaver or cloth laid in folds, and quilts
often relieve stiff outlines, being thrust
in pairs through the front of a felt, or
at the side: or, in fact, almost anywhere
The ''ping-pong sailor is very peculiar,
having a wide brim and immense crown
on the outside, with fitted piece inside
Two fierce wings are crossed at the
front, and white silk is draped around
the crown, with two white silk bows
under the brim.
FEATHER TJ'RBANS
of rich, dark hued breast feathers are
in high esteem, but quite expensive.
Dress hats are even larger than walk
ing hats, and on black tatfeta silk hat
almost covered with maline folds, the
streamers at the back were nearly a
yard long; plain taffeta fold, edged on
both sides by wide maline ruching. A
white French felt hat, in turban shape,
had brown silk batiste leaves appliqued
on the sides and front, and at the back
was a large, cerise velvet bow, with
white grape leaves, white grapes being
pendant at the back.
