Fall and Winter Materials; Styles in Max
ing; Individual Gowns; Millinery.
The coming winter will be one of con
trasts. Nothing will be more elegant OF
stylish than broadcloth, its smooth sur.
face comm e..'ling itself especially and the
numerous shades, running close to two
hundred, show the great expected de.
mand for it. On the other hand, one
sees fieecy zibelines, the more expensive
reaching limit of shagginess, in which
aggressive hairs an inch long, will render
wearers of the same, quite animal like in
appearance. Woe to the short, stout wo-
man who may venture to assume such
garb and ridiculous in the extreme will
she bs resembling some tuft rolling
about the streets. Per contra, one NAV
readily imagine tall, 1.-the figure thus
arrayed. High style will be hers and ac-
knowledged expense, since in proportion
to slagginess, prices go up or down, med
ium zibelineas being comparatively mod
crate. Lord & Taylor's magnificent dis.
play in these lines, does not however
hinder showing of
Less 0btrusive Goods
and such as will be selected by the large
class of persons who while desirious of
being fashionable, make judicious choice
OF materials on the standard order-such
fabrics remaining in vogue season after
season and easily changed, if need be,
from one member of a family to another.
Under this head, come mixed clothes,
cleviots, tweeds, hair line stripes and
Cancels hair goods. Plaids are very
prominent among Fall goods, the larger
being in subdued tones, but
rich wine color or effective alterations
OF blue and white become probably
prelude to other striking combinations.
Styles in Making
1t seems at last that pouch fronts,
so long a refuge for defective figures, are
to be greatly modified and in many cases,
discarded in favor of close fitting. For
street wear, long, tight fitting coats en-
suite with the dress, will be worn, but as
his style is fatal to short, stout figures,
short over garment reaching only to the
waist, will be in order. In sleeves,
here is, as yet, but slight notifications

What paucity of idea prevails. Some

he sleeves are in modified bishop shape.
With this is worn a three-quarters
ength coat. A second gown in fine pas
Ell blue cloth, is made with a slightly
airing addition to the skirt, with tucks
n the flare. The upper portion of the
kirt is cut in points each one edged with
ayeral rows of narrow silk braid, COM
leted by small buttons; tight fitting
pat. Both dresses are bound with the
II. and NJ. velvet braid skirt protector,
,r which Autumn exhibitions disclose
ontinued preference. 1t is used by our
est modistes and while giving the most
