NeEWw YORE, Nov. 23, —In children’s garments there are not the same variety and novelty that characterize the costumes of their elders. This, far from beiug a ‘cause of regret, should be rather the souree of sineere congratulation, for it would seem nlmost an impossibility to im- prove on the present styles. - Though the modes remain the same, monotony of effect is avoided by the many and veautiful materials which are at one’s selection. Younyg girls from 10 until well in their teens find the rough-surfaced ma- terials so admired by their mamimas equally admirable for themselves. The favorite styles are skirt and polonaise. or else the former un- der an overdress and basque. The bandsome. comfortable kilt skirt with jucket or pleated waist or blouse is still considered one of the most desirable and stylish- forms. The blouse waist is indeed a first choice, and for school and home wear is certainly unsurpassed for comfort. suitability, and good appearance. Last, but far from being least important, is the fact that tney are the means of utilizing dresses where a skirt has scen the waist fail before its time, and where a good result may be obtained by employing the blouse. For bandsome dresses no style is prettier than that exhibiting vest and jacket. A dressof dark-green, blue, or rich muroon eashmere, with vest of silk of some brirht barmonizing color, is an admirable sclection for a youns's wirl's * best dress.”” A very charming toilette for a young ludy of 12 is of plum-colored cashmere. The skirt has a finger-wide box-pleated flounce, the centre of cach pleat being so fastened down as to show a lining of pale blue slik. OUne inch above this flounce s a Dias fold of blue silk, edzed on both sides by a very narrow knife-pleating laid very flne and close. The overdress is finished atthe edge by« similar fold and pleating, and is so araped 5 to foll ina graceful point at the Jeft side. The back is square, and has one cor- ner £o caugot up as to reveal a lining or facing of pale bluesilk. The little jacket, tizht-fitting atthe back,has here o skirt_slashed in two h *opening being fitled in with a clus- A -pleats very small, and about six inch- s in depth. Atthe top of each opening 1s a bow, aiso of blue silk, which imparts a tasteful finisi. In front the jacket is tastened by a single button over u long, pointed vest of light blue sitk. This vest is closed by small biue buttons, each worked with a plum-colored star. Ihe rollinz collar with lappels aud the deep, pointed cutls are also of silk. This pretty dress is of acombination of colorsthatis much admired, and I have scen its counterpart in moss-green faille and rose-colored satin, intended for an older girl. Worn with the former costume is a has of plum-colored {elt. encircled with folds of pale blue plush which termuates in a cluster of graceful loops at the left. There is aw added beauty in the shape® of a zolden pheasant-wing snd two short curling Dblue tups. This style may with advantage be wade in any desired couibination of color and material. Olive and carainal, chocolate brown and gray, bronze aud pale bluc or zreen, are all harmouious and ‘ashionable combinations. A SUFERI TOILETTE now being made for u lady well known to your fashionavie circles is of pearl eray eatin “and biack velvet. The back of the skirt is very long, and is of black velvet. The train is cut in a rounded poiut. Up to the knees in front the skirt consists of several narrow flounces. The lowest one is a gathered ruflle of velvet, as is every alternate onc, while the others are of gray satin, and are side-pleated. Above tnis trimming, which has a movel and most atisiactory effect, shows the plain skirt of ¢ray satin. A vest of black velvet . shows also an unique feature. It is cut in three points, the centre one being somewhat the longest. A fall of decp black lace of an exquisite pattern and quality isscant- ily gathered alonz the edyge of the points. Per- féetly square buttons of some black composi- tion rescmbling ebony close the vest down the front. Lhe jacket, which is a perfectly-shaped coat, is of gatin, with velvet gleeves, collar, and lappels. A fold of velvet, edzed on both sides with a _satin cord, finishes the bottom of the coat. Worn with this elegant costume isa bon- net of pearl-gray plush, trimmed with plack vel- vet and a profusion of piuk plumes. The face- trimming cousists of a shirring of pink satin covered by a fall of black lace. Strings of double-faced_ribbon—one side pink satin, the other grav plush—complete this exquisite bon- net. Sucha toilette as this is suitable only for receptions and, for state visits, but it may be reproduced in ‘silk and casbinere with most pleasing results. 5 BOUREITE TOILETTES continue to be much admired,and they are cer- tainly elegant and handsome. Oue I have late- 1y secn shows Loth a novel uufon of colurs aad astylish design. The underskirt, also of bou- rette, has three narrow side-pleated flouncesy euch with an upturned hem oneinch wide, piped at its upper edge with a line of canary-colored cashmere of finest quality. The bourette is of 1 rich brown, motted with a liahter color. The polonaise falls’ in a very deep point, which is turned up to show a facing of cauary cashmere. ‘Fhis is directly in front. A bias bind of bou- rette, pived on each side with cashmere, borders the bottom of the polomaise. From the waist line in the back down the entirc length the polonaise is open. Each nalf is fastened over owards the front, revealing a lining of canary color. The seams in the body of the garment have fine cordings of cushmeré, Infrout, revers of bourette pived with yellow ehapea Pompa- dour neck, in which is a chemisctte of cashmere Iaid in very fine pleats. A standing collar fin- ishes te neck. The sleeves are trimmed with revers of bourette, showine a judicious admix- ture of canary color. ‘There is nothing conepic- uous about this costume, which is very lady- like and clezant. Brilliaut as is the color of the trimming, it is so artistically disposed that no glarive effect results. Now-a-days, the most bizarre blending of colors arc cousidered the most. desirable. ‘Dro- vided zoud taste is not outrawed. A favorite combination fs maroon aund pale blue, and somctimes olive is added. [ have scen a dress combininr these three colors, nud, being ugly or unpleasant, the colors harmouized beautifully. A morning robe of pule blue cashmere was made i Watteau style, Lhe pleat in the back fitting closely to the body us far down as the waist, whereit Is_confined by a belt, which reaches to the under-urn seams. Tius belt consists of a broad band of narrow gros rain ribbon, over which is laid a narrower one of olive satin, while the third and narrowest onc is of pale blue gros erain. In the back the skirt of the robe is plain, suve st the hottom Whiere thero is a finerer-wide side-pleating covered by a scant flounce of woolen lace of ulmost equal width. In front, three nurrow pl beaded by a ruflle of lace trim the skirt. the cutire front isa double rucheof lace which at the neck separates und surrounds in single row the throat. Here the robe is et in surplice style. From the neck down are long bows of ribbun, blue and maroon ros grain. and olive satin. The arrangenient of the loops is very tasteiul, and thelong ends are fringed outan’ inch or two. The siceves to the elbows are blain crab- shape, and of alternate vleatings of casbmere and ruflles of lace. A larze bow of ‘Lhe three colors is_placed midway between elbow and wrist. The effect of this combination is ex- tremely pretty, and will doubtless soon ain in fashionable favor. ANOTIIER MORNING DRESS that formed a portion of a trousseau belonging to a recently w dded bride_was of _ivory-whit: cloth, very nine and soft. The back, boin walst and skirt, are all one piece, consistinz ot closely- 1aid side pleats. A belt of white satin came trom the sides, and is fastened in the back by a su- perb salver buckle formed of the bride’s vest. The front of the robe is almost tight-fittini, and from each side of the neck all down the 1ront is a row of white satin bows, each having in the centre an oval pearl buckle. The centre front of the skirt, viz.: thai portion between the frilis of bows, is ricily embroidered inwhite. This toilette is elaborate in the extreme, and excited intense admiration from the dear 500 friends who were ‘privileged™ to see the troussean en avant. Another toilette beloug- ing to chis lady shows a very novel desigu. It is intended for a visiting or reception dress, and is yery ciegunt. There 15 » lung, austerely platn Princesse of & very dark, rich moss-grecn velvet. Krom the waist down all the scams are left open. A pe- culiarity of the dress is that the gores. instewd of widening at_ the bottom, are shihily narrowed, particularly from the Knees down. Underneath i3 a petticoat of light blue satin, perfectly plain and eautifully quilt- ed in crescents. The quilting s all done witii a very fiue silvered thread, which gives a beauti- ful‘appearance. - Owing to the odd openings of the seams in the DPrincesse, everv slichtest movement reveals the under: There 15 ab- sotutely no trimming, not_even buttons ou the , and the sleeves are as plain and close as possible.

MatniEe 3. FASHIONS. FURS. From the Fur Trade Revlew. Seal, which bas becu steadily advaocing in favor for some time pust, still retains its emi- neut position as the leading fashionable fur, and eacques mapufactured from the finest English dyed seal will undoubtedly prove to be the most desirable garments offered by the more promi- nent furriers in all of our larger citics. FParties desirous of damaging the reputation of scal have been busily circulating reports to the effect that its present popularity could not be maintained for another season, and that sealskin sacques would nmot be accorded the same degree of favor as formerly, particu- larly by ladies wearing the zoods of superior quality; but the rumoris without any founda- tion in truth, as scal has never been more bi Iy sppreciated than at the present time. ~The great beauty and intrinsic merits which it pos- sesses insure a present and future popularity beyond doubt. Its acknowledged durabi and the reduced prices at which it is being sold are favorable considerations regaraing the ceconomy of seal, as compared with other furs. cques this scason are cut so as to it what mere closely to the ficure of the w than they did Jast seasou, and are from thirt) two to thirty-four inches in length., Plafn and fur trimmed sacques will be_cqually fashion- able for the coming winter. Exceptin speci instances, and in the lower grades, the trimmin will be shightly wider than herctofore, and th furs emploved for the purpose will melude plucked and uoplucked otter, natural colored and silvered beaver, sea otter, black marten, Grebe, and genet. Sealskin covered buttons and bars, with ornamental seal pendant, will form stylish fastenings for sacques and cloaks. Muils of seal, sable, mink, black marten, and a variety of other fancy furs, including silver-tox and chinchilla, have been made a little larger than usual. Brown satin grec, of fine quality, is the preterred material for lining, and plain ribbon or bows of ribbon having either fringed or em- broidered -ends, constitute the fashiouable trimmings. In some instauces the mufls are made up perfectly plain, no trimming of any kind betng used. Mulls of the tails of the Rus- sisnand udson’s Bay sables are among the attractive noveltics of the season. In style, boas remain about the same os last year—the at shape, of two yards in length, be- iog the most desirable. Ladies’ sealskin hats and caps. for which there is a large demand, are, according to the tastes of the wearer, either quite plain or richly trimmned with ostrich plumes or other dressy feathers. The popular Guineshorough hat i3 one of the lcading shapes, and round hats and turbans will also be worn_esteusively. The vewest style of hat introduced this” season may be worn cither as 3 bounet, skating or riding Eat. i _Furs for gentlemen have been provided in liberal variety of styles and material, and the sealskin coats, both for walking and riding pur- poses, are especially worthy of mention. Caps, Wwith or without bands or visors, are made of seal, beaver, otter, putria. and several other furs usually employed in the manufacture of caps. The round cap with a deep bund is the sbape most in favor. Gloves have been manu- factured in an equal variety of turs, and, with a cold winter, the demand for these will undoubt- edly be very great, as they arc offered ut rea- souably Jow pric : The assortment of children’s fur§ cmbraces sacques of gray squirrel, mufls aud boas of gray krimumer, coney and similar furs, and caps in o variety of tastefully-designed styies. There is an jncreasing tendeucy to dress children in furs, and it is very probable that this commendable taste will be more generally indulged during the ensuing winter than ever before. GENTLEMEN'S PASIIONS. Harger's Razar. There are few movelties to record in gentle- men’s clothing. Slight chanzes are made in each scason’s styles. For this winter coats are atrifle shorter than those of last year, and pantaloons are not quite as large.” English striped suitings are the first cholce for business suiis. The stripes are in groups aud shaded pretiily, instead of being of two aliernating colors. There are also checked suits .or plaids formed of three or four bars; such designs are preferred to plain “ mixtures” of colors; blue and black are the prevalent colors. The semi- dress suit for visiting, driving, church, and afternoon wear -is the double-breasted frock cont known as the Prince Albert coat, made of fine black or blue diagonal cloth, bound on the edges and finished with sitk in the facine. The vest of the same is single- breasted, with o notched collar. The pant: Joons are of darl striped goods for the strec For day receptions this coat and vest will be worn with gray or other lizht-colored panta- loous. Morning coats for breakfast and to be worn anywhere 1n the morniug are cutaway sil gle-breasted coats buttoned quite highs they are also made of fine **diagonals,” which seem to have superseded the armures and basket-woven cloths. Full dress suits of fine black broadcloths have swallow-tail coats not quite so long as those of lnst year. They have facingof satin finshea silk, a fine cord’on the edge, and are lined throughout with black sutin. The single- breasted vest rolls very low, and has double cords on the cdge. The Zero cout isa winter overcoat with some novel features that render it particularly comfortable. An extra collar of fur or of warm cloth is buttoned inside the n; and is folded away smoothly out ot sizht when not needed, but in very cold weather it can be turned up about the care, Mittens of the material #s the collar are folded in the cuil, can be easily drawn out for use. T'lain bosoms are still preferred for shirts, not only for gencral use, but for full dress, cm- broidery being less used each season. The fine linen 15 doubled and interlined with linen ot coarser quality. Near the cdge, outside the eyelets for stud buttons, is the only ornuncnt, steh as u single tuck a fourth of an inch wide, or eise two or three still narrower oues times there is only a single row of stitching, while others have two or threecords stitehed i Standing collars with the fronts widely turned over are very lngh when in the extreme of the foshion. ‘The Newstead is & more medium En- wzlish collar that is very popular. Turned down collars are still worn, provided they are very widely opened at the throat. Cufls are not very broad, and_are worn merely to meet to- eether instead of Iapping, where they are fast- ened by linked buttons. Ilat folded scarfs are made to cover all that purt of the shirt busom lert visible by the vest. They ure made of figured silks, stripes, and Lrocades of very small, neat figures, but of very richquality, the groundwork of ‘mauy bew satin. The Polo-Dane is a title for these, thouzh by some theyare called the Imperial su k, rich brocadesare preferred toplain calors; the hinings are of vivld contrasting lors in plain sat. A neat searf, called the Four-in- lmnd, is shuped parrowly in the middle, where it forms & band around the neck, and is widened where it isto be tica when put on. The showy ay contrasts of bottle green wit th red or of inarcon with pale blue, or moss green with cream coior, are seen in these scarfs thag are to be used for drivingand for morn.ag wear. Narrow black satin ties with tringed ends are being introduced for full dress both here and in England; the narrow white lawn is, however, weverally used. Searf pins of silver are stylish ornaments, and are made in most unique designs. The tour sided Campanella bell, with its inscription against the evid eye, is popular, and_costs from $4t0 4. Another represents a polo mallet, a second a dragon. 2 third an easel; tie head of a ug dog is another pin; there is also arake for i cent with a man’s face, a coach busket, 2 wh broom, and a tetegriaph pole and wires.
