[From Harpcr's Bazar.l lietiüules. - The old-fashioncd reticule is in style again, made of silk or vel vet to match the costume, and hnng on tlic wrist by handsonie cords. Callara. - Broad oollars of pale blue, rose or creani-colored foulard are made to wear with dark dresses. The wide Anne of Austria culïs covering tlie sleeves are of the same foulard. These makc a handsome faoiiig for duchesse and other pohat lace, tliongh the colored colla rs and cuffs are also worn. The Hair. - The Becainier style of hair-dressing is a favorite autumn mode. In this the hair is combed up from the nape of the neck, and a pouf of eurls is placed at the top of the head. The hair in front is also combed upward, but the friuge over the forchead remains, and may hang cut straight across like a child's or be arranged in light frizzes. Bonnet.- The hair is dressed very softly and with reference to the shape of the hat. For the crownless iloral bonnets, or those with feather fronts to be worn on dressy occasions, the coiffure is high soft loops and pnffs on top of the head. For the close shapes the back hair is arranged in a flat chatelaine loop very low on the nape of the neck, or else the chatelaine is braided in wide basket braids of seven strands or moie. The materials for the new bonnets are plush or velvet trimmed with satin. The feathers and flowers surpass those of any former sen son. The bird-of-paradise, with its golden plumage, is the choice for expensive bonnets. Jiats. - Feit is especially liked for round hats, its only rival being velvet. Helmet-shaped hats like those worn by gentlemen during the summer, are of!ered for young ladies. Their only aïinmmg is a wide galloon band and a slender wing. Another jannty shape comes far down over the brow, with a square, visor-shaped front, while the back and sides are closely against the crown ; this is the jockey iiat, and is most euitable for young girls in their teens ; the feathers, which are two short ostrich plnmes, are set on the back of tho crown, and made to curl down on the front. Wraps. - Long slender sacques vill again be favorite wraps for fall au J. -winter. Those for general use are of medium length, made of the new rough oloths, double-breasted, buttoned tlieir entire length, and with coat-flaps beliind. These are also shown in smooth oloths of various light gray shades, and, moreover, of clear blue and of scarlet. For the latter the trimming is rows of applique embroidery in shaded colors. More dressy sacque cloaks are long enough to envelop the whole figure, which they fit elosely, and have side draperies in the way of capes or flowing sleeves. These come in black repped silk, plush cloths, and the knotted curied rough surfaces that are woven of fine camel's hair. Circulara of clinging shapes are shown for carriage wraps. Mantles as long as the sacque cloaks or as small as fichus, in scarf-shape, Hke Dolmans, and as round capes, are shown, and the materials are as varied as the styles.
