With the advent of the month of Sep
tember the first faint evidence of the
turn of the tide cityward is felt Slowly
aad at first separately, then by two and
threes. Anally in trainloada and steamers
fall, they come, from mountain, from
seaside, asm from Europe; from north,
south, east and west. There is universal
joy at reaching once more the dear old
dirty town, whose comforts and luxuries
have so Ion? been only memories.
Dame Fashion has, like all the rest of
U4, taken her summer vacation, and so
the gowns that were correct in late June
are correct today, but the whimsical old
lady is back again in her workshop andt
with specs on her nose and needle and
aheara at hand is setting out in earnest
to give her modistes and her milliners
the aaaaon of their lives. Good times
have come, prosperity is knocking at our
doors, wa begin to realize that we are a
rich aa the very dickens, and so, Vive la
mode! There is no more turning of
last season's gowns, last winter's bonnets
maygototbe servants, or to Halifax
for that matter, and we shall be all
Shaving" Hairdressing".

Now as to what these fall fashions are
going to be. Of course 1 brought my
head home, and equally, of course, it is
stocked full of new ideas from over seas,
but it is too early yet to exploit theee
ideas, and, besides, my trunks are not
yet unpacked, nor have I yet fully re
covered from the rude blow dealt me on
the pier by a certain somebody called
"Dingley Bill."
Looking abjut me, at theatres, on the
streets and wherever two or three, of my
sisters aro wont to gather together, I
should say that the most prevalent gar
ment, the one above all others, is a coat
and a heavy coat at that of tan.
Trimmed with the ruddy glow of health
and jeweled jrith.a.pair. of -bright-eyes,
no style ever set off pretty faces to a
greater advantage.
The autumn skirts will be finished
with three very deep flounces or many
rows of tiny ruffles set from belt to hem.
Ill
on.

Many skirts will have the overdress,
some caught high to one side, or in
regular pointed apron style, and one of
the features in trimming will be the
binding of all edges with bias silk,
plaids or velvets, sometimes in contrast
ing colors and then again off the same
piece. It is the revival of an old time
fashion both useful and pretty. A
smart mourning gown I saw just before
saying adieu to the Old World was of
black Henrietta cloth, the skirt made
plain.but with very narrow front, tpron
bred the, aad-not. over four and a half
yard. The waist was of the same cloth
and trimmed with a deep collar of the
stuff bound with heavy black armure
ailk on the bias, with a black chiffon
.bow -in-front and .three, black -chiffon,
ruffles at the back.
it there is a fashion fad extant (and
where is there cot at least one?) it is the
''blouse effect," now worn more than
ever before. It is a becoming style and
in order to humor, it many waists are
made to open at the sides, for even the
shirtwaist must'blouse." and the shirt
waist will stay with us until Mr. John
Frost cracks his whip and calls for furs
and sleigh-bells.
Odd waists are as smart and aa fash
ionable aa ever, wiile Paris, let it be
whispsred, bids us drees all in one tone.
Black and white, our old and valued
friend, will continue to reign supreme
for elegant winter toilettes, and for thece
the white gloves, stitched with black,
are requisites.
AH the shadings in browns and tans
are to be ruling colorp, and one must
learn to distinguish the tints, biscuit,
doe, almond, mushroom, et al. Bonnets
and hats must match the costume, even
to the veils.
In materials, reps silks of all descrip
tions, corded silk and wool are to be re
vivedanother acknowledgement to the
good taste of our grandmothers. Swell
gowns will be valued and appreciated in
proportion to the heaviness of the cord
ing, the pin reps being less favored than
the heavy reps. There are some fancy
cords with "shot" or "jaspered" grounds,
which will be suitable for carriage wear
or roHtes de visite.
A few of the importers have received
"broche" changeable satioB, eotne of
which are excedingly beautiful. Evening
gowns are to prevail in large showy
effects. Pompadour silks are to be worn
for balls and the opera, or whatever may
take the place of the opera. Laces, un
lest) real, may be little worn, which
means that but few women can afford
the enormous outlay for rial laces. The
favorite trimming until the real winter
shall set in will continue to be shirring
and tucking. Plaids in large and small
effects are most popular, whether in
silks, wools or ginghams. The fall
ginghams are lovely, suggesting autumn
leaves, and when made up over a lining
will be suitable for the next six weeks.
This plaid effect is carried out in the
trimming, for when'the goods are plain
the pretty cross tucking is very smart
Decidedly the most sensible and at
tractive of autumn gowns, for mountain
or eeaside, are the denims, which come
in all ehadea. For women they are
tailor-made, and with the Eton jacket
they are really fetching; while for misses
and little folks they are made in bretelle
fashion, with red linen guimpes and
stitched collars and cuffs. There is a
new cotton"''covert which resembles
covert cloth, and makes up exceedingly
well into fall gowns. Jackets and coats
are all to be short, but just bow short
haa-notyet-been authoritatively de
cided. Buttons will be large, and every
thing belted in that can be belted;
everything snug and all a-taut, perhape
the result of the summer yachting
cruise.
Tailor gowns are to be just as much
the fashion aa ever. Hats are to be
smaller, and with a profusion of feathers
and bird like devices. So much to
that she whose milliner's bills are not
promptly paid will, in veriest truth, "Oh!
for the wirgBif a dove."
A number of long months ago I advised
my sisters of the dainty flower boas that
are so sweetly pretty and so popular
abroad. Somehow they did not at once
attract the attention here that they
should, but they will ba very much in
evidence as the season progresses, and
unless my judgement be very much at
fault they will be among the acknowl
edged artistic triumphs of the autumn.
These boas are masses of roses, pansies,
violets, poppies or nasturtiums, with
flowing streamers tied in a big bow at
the throat. In Paris, they have been
for some time in vogue, but here, as I
say, they did not at once ''catch on." I
know of one house, whose trade is with
the very select where they have retained
some boxes of these lovely garlands in
an endless variety of flowers. They wil
now be offered as a novelty, and are
going like hot cakes. Such are fashion's
freaks.
