THE EVENING STAR. FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. {From Le Foilet } The favorite colours for the season are red and yellow. Hitherto there has been some preju- aice agaiust red, but it certainly now retgas triumpbant: andi: has one advantage, that it is becoming to almost ali complexious. The bottom of the skirts cut in lestoons are still fashicuable. They are made rather short, and Delow the festoons is @ plaited bias floance, Which gives width to the skirt and forms a train! This flounce is usually quite plain. When trimmed itis with an insertion of lace. Tre festoons should be edged or trimmed either with plaiting, lace, tringe, &c. Sometimes trimmings are placed from the centre of each festoon @ few inches up the skirt, or ever to the waist. The wide sash, tied behind, is still wore with both silk and ball dresses. For day or demitoilette the long 4nd wide black sas i3 generally preferred, even with a white or light colored dress. Plaim or striped tatfetas are worn also with black, grey or violet dresses. The sash to match isequally a la mode. It is fastened in front by @ large gold or silver buckle. Osgandi cresses, also, haye colored sashes, if the hody is not made with long bas- que @habit. ‘There aresome charming dresses of this kind. The body entirely separated trom the skirts permits of variety of the toil- ette; for,as a change, a cachemire or taffetss — May be worn, instead of the body like the ress. Cacheriire collets continue in favor. We do not speak merely of the original shape, em- broidered and trimmed with guipure, but of a Very small cellet, trimmed with two rows of enchemire band rather wide, and placed so as to form one wide band. This trimming is put all round, and at the bottom a biack Thibet fringe. The fastening consists of a double er- nament of chased silver. This model, madein white, would form a very pretty sortie de bal. Although-it is rather too early tospeak de- cidedJy about winter fashion, we can inform our readers that numbers of mantles are peing made in armure and gros-grain silk, witn trimmings ct velvet and passementerie; and that the paletet make, as formerly, will be much adopted. Upon silk mantles the trim- ming is put on so as to imitate the basque. Wide band of velvet edged with hanging, but- tons orscolloped. The velvet, after torming Tevers in the front, is put round the bottom and carried up the seams. White and black ‘Thibet tringe is much used; when very wide it is placed on the bottom of mantles or on skirts; when narrow, it is used to trim bodies or vestes. There isa very pretty litde fringe suitable for the latter purposes; it is double — divided by a very narrow cachemire galov. Embroidered dresses will be much worn next winter. The desigus, imitating lace, will be very recherche. Black is always preferaple, and should be rich poult de soie—the pattern being im violet, blue or even red. The fashion of wearing vestes by no means diminishes on the contrary, gumpes avd’ wrist coats are quite the order of tne day.- For the antumn the pique is often replaced.by one of white taffetac, half open dowti the “fmont co as to show a jabotof lace. Long sashes of black or while lace are made Nery wide;.Aud over a muslin or silk dress form an exceedingly pret- ty fivish to a toilgtte. Théy are. bty uséfal, for they can loved fe head resse se Amoug the foMowing dresses willbe f Some gagat Miyelties:—A dress of white ch mr Dery guaze, with pink spots wide apart; two littie Mounces gauifered and edged at top and bottom with black lace. Between the two flounces isa wide insertion of lace. The dress has @ rounded train; high body, ornamented with meertion; narrow sleeves, with insertion, up the seams and backs of the arms; wide sash of black lace, very long, widening towards the ends,and pointed. The headdress is charming; it consists of a litile poutf of pink andrea gera niums, attaching a lace catalane resting upou the pack hair. Skirtof white silk, striped with pink; a flounce at the bottom of the skirt; edged with pink. Dress of white lines cut in scallops, edgea with pinksilk. The dress is drawn up at equal distance all around. Low body. Lace berthe, trimmed with ruches ef silk. White baud of white and pink striped ribbon. Gold backle im front. Coiffure, a catalane of blonde mix-d with roses. Sairt of black silk, trimmed with a Risied flounce edged with white. Over this, drawn up, was one of the white linos, striped With pese- Casague habit of black silk. very tall, long“sKirt.' Another very pretty moi 1 dress was of white fculard, with black lozenge shaped spots. Double shirt; the under one-ti ed with a plaited flounce of scarlet taffetas, edged with the white foulard. The over shirt ef the same open in front, and trimmed with foulard. The upper shirt is fas- tened in front with large buttons, covered with scarlet silk. Wide sash of scarlet silk tied behind. Many dresses this autumn are made with one wide flounce crossways, about a quarter of a yard wide. This has a very good effect, especially in striped materials. In this style was & dress of biack silk, with satin stripes, very fine, of a rich violet. Tne flounce edged with a quilling of violet. The bottom of the skirt, which reached below the flounce, was cut in scallops, and edged to match the Mounce. Senorita jacket, trimmed to match. ‘There is little variation in the shape of boa- nets. They are still small, and close to the face, without curtains, or with curtains about aninch in width. Dust colored crape, mixed with velvet, will be very fashionable this au- tamn. Almostall the bonnets are bouillonnes from frontto back. In velvet itis really pretty, and notso heavy as might be imagined. One mace im this manner was of black velvet, with- out crown of curtain, the front being very long, s0 as toform & crown, which was cov- ered with flat biack feathers. With drab feathers, or black or Mexican blue velvet, ele- gant bonnets are made. Feathers will be the Moet fashionable trimming for the coming winter. For crepe and tulle bonnets they have been replaced by flowers—peacock’s feathers alone baving kept their stand during the sam- mer: the cthers, however, making their ap- pearance with velvet, either for the bonuet it- selforasatrimming. A bonnet of pink crape, two large bouiilons forming the front. Over the second bouillon was a quillisg of pink silk. At the left side, nearly in the centre, was a bouquet, formed of two tea roses and foliage. The narrow crspe curtain is covered over an- other rose, @ bow of black velvet with long ends falling from under it. A white crinoline bonnet, lined with green silk, the inside of the front trimmed with a tuft of ivy leaves, and the same trimming on the outside edge—a fringe of red berries falling trom the edge. On the left side is placed a bouquetof ivy leaves and red berries,and the green strings are car- Tied across the bonnet, close by the crown. The curtain, which is very narrow, is of green silk, plsited in large plaits, and covered wita tulle. Black lace bonnets are very fashionable this autumn. A very pretty one, lately worn by the Empress, was trimmed by a wreath of daisies round the front. The same style of bonnet may also be trimmed with a wreath of periwinkle. The front is very small; soft crown and no cartain. The strings, to match the colors of the flowers, are carried across the bonnet close to the crowu. Another black tulle bonnet was trimmed with two roses, one just above the bandeau, and the other close to theear. On this kind of bonnet roses of all colors may be worn, but pink or white roses are the best for black bonnets Talle Bouillonne are also very pretty, trimmed with spaded grass, ar a small bird or butterfly or rosebuds; and they are even made withoat any trimming, and with talle strings. Th+re is @ talk of doingaway with strings altogether and fastening the Bounets with pins; bat at resent it isonly talk. Wescarcely think it is ikely to be adopted—at any rate not during the winter. 351 MONEY! MONEY! MONKEY! 351 THE OLD ESTABLISHED LOAN OFFICE, No 351 C st., bet. 4 and 6th ets, Estasiseed 1852.
