THE SEASON'S FASHIONS.

The autumn display .of goods in all the leading establishments is very large, and mosfc .of the departments are as busy as they usually are at the' change of the season, for those whose circumstances will allow are wise to;choose : what they intend to purchase before the best has been selected. THE -COLOURS do" not vary much from those worn last year, the same warm • shades of brown and ruby, dark' greens, etc, with trimmings of velvet and plush,, chiefly prevailing. The styles, too, vary but jittle Jacket bodices are still the proper tltim*. wii'* Full skirt drapinga The improvers are m-.i \\u\n nearly so large as ,they were a year ago, and that, everyone will admit, is an advantage.

There is a great" improvement in the style of hats.-, Those awkwardly-high, largebrimmed - head-dresses are considerably modified, and many of the new shapes are both 'Stylish an_d cosy. ; Feathers, plush, ribbon, 'and- yelvqt are the chief trimmings, both for bonnets, and hats. The bonnets are much the samein'style as those worn. during the summer. ,,- The - •'■. j - ..t «• /MANTLES" " . . are n6^ c w A orn- very short, at the back — in many stances,- not lower than the waistr— leaving ! the puffings, of the skirt at the back" ! r quite free. : These" are the ; newest, and many ,are J maßg;in,-.p19.6b, both black and brown, '. bug- those.shapeiPand. materials worn a season or so a;go are/^by no means too ancient to be - called still fashionable.
