MORE HATS AND COL OR.
BY MADAME HYDoRNE.

Paris, Oct. 20 Autumn fashions are
now full upon US, indeed, we may say
that the pioneer winter modes are al
ready asserting themselves. The first
most decisive step that fashion usual
" takes is in the department millinery.
and this season presents no departure
from the general rule. AS was to be
expected, the greatest alterations lie
in this direction. Hats toques, and
even bonnets display remarkable and
unique features, sometimes beautiful,
but often quite the reverse. The best
milliners provide us with plenty of
styles to choose from.
The general tendency is to increase
the width; last spring, it will be re-
membered, the inclination was in the
direction of exaggerated narrOwneSS.
The picturesque is represented by the
eighteenth-century hat and the small
form of Gainsborough or Reynolds,
both Of which are equally lovely IN
black or glorious-colored velvets
On the other hand, dress, that is 70
say, ordinary walking dress, has not
altered very much, but it is an IN
doubtful fact that the sleeves OF the
reception dress and of the fur gar
ment de luxe are bigger. Not ag-
gressively so as yet, but a larger puff
is used, and 1t still only reaches just
below the elbow. There is a square
ness on the shoulder in most cases,
though here and there we find a pic
turesque 1880 garment with a sloping
fichu effect, the sleeve and shoulder
cut In one.
Skirts are still worn long, tight on
the hips, and flowing at the feet They
are, for the most part, extremely
graceful, and the Wristbands are all
pulled down in the front and up at
the back-a becoming line, which the
wise woman will not easily forgo.
AS for Jackets and coats, every
length is worn Fascinating little en-
pire coats, fluted just above the waist
in fur, both in cloth and velvet, are
to be seen, as well as sac jackets.
from the very short to the very long.
The tight-fitting redingotes mostly
reach to the ankles.
The tailor-made does not vary very
much, and its sleeves are cut for the
most part to moderate dimensions.
Plain, tight-fitting, double-breasted
coats with velvet collars and smart
little braided sacs are worn with equal
impartiality.
In evening dress, again. except for
wonderful array Of coloring, there
is very little change. and. OF course,
there always are new colors in the au-
tumn.
Greens and browns in every possible
shade predoninate. but perhaps the
most exquisite color is dark wine or
claret sometimes melting into null
berry. Pea cock-blue, just a little
crude and unbecoming, is also Strug
CLING hard for place on FASHIONS
list.
1t is a season of magnificence in
| stuffs and colors. The embroideries
| for some of the evening dresses are
hand-done in gold and silver. Won
derful colored stones arc worked there
| in, and although they are q joy in
| themselves, they fill the woman with
a moderate purse with a sense Of de-
| spair.
AS I have said, the greatest change
! is in millinery. The couture is still
| built up by cUrls and pins to the hat
| but the hair is not greatly waved; it
| has a certain simplicity which is
charming, especially with the smaller
and more piquant hat, an example OF
which may be mentioned. 1t is OF
