Waistcoats for the ladies will bc sold separate from tho snit. Square trailla bid fair to bc more fashionablo than round ones. Stviped moires are coming intovogiic, Ónder the name of moire Francais. The ta-ste for black silk toilets and black millinery provails as much as over. Short costumes take only eighteen yards of medium-width stuff for a f uil dros. The ncw hosicry is hair-lined hoiizontally in bright colors on neutral and cream white grounds. Fancy buttons and flat gilt buttons are used profusoly on the clan tartán and fancy plaid suits so fashionablc at the moment. Many red vclvct bonncts edged with garnet 1 eads nul gold cords,and trimmcd with shaded red plumes and red roses, are soon among tho novelties in millinery. If the present fnshion of waistcoat, jacket, skirt and tunic or overskirt continue to find favor, it will produce the much-desircd result of rendering it as easy for womeu to j)urchase their clothiug rciuly-miule a.s men. Corduroy velvet will be largely used for the nnderskirts of winter costumes. A new freak of [aahion shows the dolman wjth a doublé skirt. It is not nearly as pretty ns tho graccful single-skirted dolman. The panier has resolved itself into very small dimensions, and consists in the sliglit loo])ii)fí or dráping of the back breadths of theoverdress. The tight-fitting ooafraleeve rètoaios in favor, and is noiv made with a slight pitli'ring at the elbow, wliicli makes it much more comlortable to vreat.-Gondensed from New York papers.
