Harper's Basar. Ribbons have reasserted theinsélves, arid will play dn important part in the millinery of the winter. They will beused in broader widths than they were during the stmmet, and’ will sometimes form the whole trimming of the bon- net, independent of any fabric cut bias from the piece. There are glace ribbons of the soft satin sublime in two changeable shades of blue with red, black with red, or gold, or silver, green with bronze or with red or gold, Japanese blue with gold or with amaranth, avd so on through the whole catalogua of colors; These promise to be as. much used for winter as the reversible two-toned ribbons were last year. They also prove that contrasts and several colors will be used on the same hat quite as frequently as various shades of one color. Pearl edges, cords, and satin edes are on these changeable ribbons. Next these are tne Ottoman ribbons, richly repped and bordered with a satin tape edge. Satin-striped ribbons are also largely imported woth in single colors and with a foundation color shot with a con- trasting hue. The grounds are of gros grain, and there may be seven satin stripes in ribbon three inches wide, or else there are hair stripes almost covering the surface. The new canarque shades, the quaint Japanese greens and blues with purple tinges, bronze, mahogany, amaranth, peony, and the new grays and green, are al! represented. ‘There are plush stripes in other ribbons, while some are brocaded in Pompadour figures and colors. ORNAMENTS. Plumes, wines, pompons, and birds were de- scribed last week in all their fanciful coumbina- tions as well asin natural shapes and colors. ‘These will be the principal ornaments, yet there are mavy rich flowers, with velvet or satin petals and foliaze. Jet, bronze, und iridescent beads in blue-green shades will also be used, but as colored beads are always transient in their popularity, it is safest to buy the jet ornaments that are now so largely imported. Among these are net scarfs embroidered and fringed with finely cut fet beads; net crowns to be laid over satin antique are wrought with jet beads: in vermicelli patteros, or in stars, arabesques, or else in parallel rows. Beaded galloon is used again for binding bat brims, and there are fringes and pompons made of bits of jet, like ‘spangles. New brooches are of riveted jet and stcel or gold, and many long jet dacgers will be worn. Steel and gilt are to- gether in ornaments of antique design showing birds’ heads, claws, battle-axes; also dageers, clasps, and brooches. One of the prettiest or- naments: for black bonneta isaset of large faceted jet buttons, used for studding the rib- bon trimming at intervals. Beetles and other natural bugs in the changeable colors now in vogue are mounted on gilt, and set about the bonnet in various places. 1 TRIMMED BONNETS FOR FALL ‘The first importations ot trimmed bonnets for early fall wear are made up of felts, satin antiques (or plush), and silk besyer like that used for gentlemen’s dress hats. What are colled ‘brush brims” are a feature of the new hats aud bonnets. -These are ot fine felt, with the nap brushed up roughly instead of being smooth as in ordinary felt; others have tufts of rough beaver fastened on the felt brim. Both large and small shapes are shown, and it re- mains to be seer which will receive the greatest favor. It is moat probable that variations of the Carmen and poke shapes will be-retained for large bonuete, while smaller bonnets will be of capote shapes. The small black bonnets have satin antique for the large crown, with a tiny brim of yelvet bound with jet galloon. ‘The crown may be Jaid in folds of satin, or puffed like a great rosette, or else it is smooth and half covered with jet embroidery. large bouquet of satin and velvet flowers is low on the left side. The ribbon-strings are to ba tied under the left ear ina long-loopéd ‘bow. Another black-velvet bonnet is really shot with cardinal red, which is only seen in certain lights. ‘This is a smali cabriolet shape, with poke front tied down at the sides. ‘fhe projecting front of the brim is covered with shirred velvet, which has a verynch effect, and is far more wintry- looking than the shirred silk or eatin worn last year. Above the crown is a fan-like pleating showing both sbades of the black-red velvet, and the strings are of wide satin antique ribbon glace in these shades. Another black bonnet has a velvet brim, a satin crown richly beaded, aod a “top-bow’” of oarrow ribbon, which is velvet on one side and satin on tue other; this also forms strings. In the midst of the bow three humming-birds nestle, aud give the only touch of color, 28 there is no face trimming. The “top-bows” bave an old-fashioned quaint effect, and are made of narrow ribbons instead of the wide ribbon used for Alsatian bows. ‘The red bonnets that were so fashionable last year will be considered stslish next season. ‘Lhese are shown in small shapes with close yel- yet brim, no face trimming, and large, fall rosette crown; three ostrich piames of the same shade of amaranth red are made to nod toward the front, and the strings are of satin antique ribbon, which also trims the bopnet. An Ottoman velvet bonact of creen-bronze shades has rose-colored Jining in:the brim, and brouze-beaded galloon for binding it; 2 pronze bird trims the crown, a rose-colored ostrich feather is Ind against the brim, and the satin strings are shut toshow bronze androse. Old gold plush is shirred ‘in the brim of another bronze velvet bonnet, and the crown’ is trim- med by fanciful feather mounting in Cashmere shades, 3 4 ‘The round hats of silk plush, satin antique, beaver, ete., are most seen in the creamy-gray calied dauphin and in black. The wide brim, irregularly turned up cither just in’ front or else on the left side, is covered with shirred satin sublime, aud. often has a bira, or wing, or long plume, beginning in the middie of the front and going far back on the left under the brim. Outside is folded satin antique in most capricious designs. oe 4st SOCIETY ‘TOPICS. 7 Society: people who bnve for weeks been en- joying the rustic delights of Jake-side groves, cool mountain resorts, or the more costly 2¢- sommodations of the,popular seaside spas, will soon returo, fori’the frosty breath of autumn will presently usher in the ‘society 7? season at home. és : ‘ When a woman finds she canuot afford a new dress she economizés by.spending as much as it would have cbst 4n buying ribbon to-cover the old one up with Bows. aeteatt : Gentlemen ‘ill flad much to interest them at thé tailoring: estabiiehmgat of Messrs.

A Clinton (L. 1) correspondeat of the Hart- ford Times says: “‘The fish-oil business is done now, 60 far as the first stage is concerned—the work of catching the ‘bony fish’—by steam- power.

The Thirty-fifth Street Sewer. To the Editor of The Tribune, Cricaco, Aug. 23.—I desire to call the atten- tion of the city authorities to the great necessity for extending the main sewer on Thirty-fifth street from its present termious, one block east of Halsted street{ to Clark, through a section of the city densely populated, and where ‘the dis- eases incident to malaria and imperfect drain- age make their appearance every summer. Without this sewer extcnsiou it is impossible to improve the bad sanitary condition of the dis- trict, and it seems that ‘the authorities have overlooked the necessity which seems to de- mand that an improvement which would do su much for the sanitary condition of so populous a district should not be longer delayed. =s Lhave resided in the vicinity.for more than twenty years, and during, all that time have been & large taxpayer.

To the Editor of: The Tribune. Cosco, Aug. 23.—While L am on the “noise”? question, I would like to inquire of Mayor Harrison, Simon O'Donnell, or the Cap- tain of the Chicago Avenue Police Station, why itis they allow North Clark, street to be the most disorderly street in the city at night? We North Clark street residents had supposed that the new Police Captain would keep better order than his predecessor, but how is it? All night long gangs of drunken losfers make night bideous with their. yelling and whisky-laughter. and. no attempt is mado by our “reformed” police to stop -it. Whe they do not is more than Ican copjecture. Perhaps the police like to hear the racket, as it tends to keep them awake and otherwise relieve the tedious monot- ony of their “beat.” Idon’t see why North Clark street should be more disorderly than any other street inthe city; but such it is, and our new “reformed” Police Captain will haye to keep better order or he will hear from me again. é J.

OBSERVER. A Sewer-Laborer’s Complaing, -_ _ | fo the Editor of The Tribune. Cutcaco, Aug. 23.—The City of Chicago bas let contracts for building eoveral miles OF sewers, and, following the example of the Republican Administration, has exacted bonds from the contractors gitaranteeing the pay of the laborers, thereby virtually promising the laborers that the city will see: them paid for their work. ‘Then why does not the city get us our pay for the work we did.last year on Betticher’s con- tract, and on McNichols’ contract? They gave bonds to the city securing the laborers’ pay, and, when they failed (owing to -their figures boing - tuo low), the City Government (Republican) : commenced suits against the bondsmen for the balance due the laborers. Carter Harrison was elected Ma:or before the suits came.to trial, and the farther prosecution of them was quietly dropped, and Carter gaye us lots of nice, pretty Democratic speeches, but not # cent of our wages.

The object of this letter is to sugeest thatthe churches of the West Division sell their cracked old bells, which cannot be heard | more than five or six blocks away, and devote the proceeds to the purchase of some chimes which shall do duty forall the churches in an- nouncing the’ hours of service. Centenary, the Second Baptist, and neighboring churches east of Union Park might unite and -purchase a set of chimes; gnd_so-of the Third Presbvterlan and other churches west of the park, or all the churches, aided by individual outsiders, micht ‘combine and purchase a magniticent chime of bells, and place them ia Jefferson ‘or Union Parks for the benefit of sinners a3 well .as saints.’ Let some rich man immortalize his name by dodating te Union Parka handsome chime of bells.
