Winter Fashions.
MIDWINTER STYLES IN DRESSES, WRAPS, HATS
AN BONNETS. ET CASTER AS OF DRESS
AND FASHION.
Messrs. Ehrich & Cos., of New York, the
publishers of Ehrichs* Fashion Quarterly,
have kindly placed at our service the follow
ing notes on the Winter Fashions of 1879-80,
compiled from advance sheets of the forth
coming Winter number of their magazine.
We understand that the Winter number will
be unusually rich in its descriptions of
Holiday goods and presents. The low price
of the magazine, only 50 cents a year, or 15
cents a single copy, places it within the reach
of all; and there is no lady but will find it
useful, however small may be her purchases,
or limited her means.
The styles for the coming season are rich,
pleasing, and varied to a degree exceeding
that of many past years. The revival of
changeable or shot silks, satins and velvets,
brocades and damasses, the introduction of
gold and silver threads into many of the
richest dress goods, and the revived form in
which cut jet and variegated beads have
been reproduced, render fashion this year a
gorgeous and beautiful wonder. The mod
istes and milliners have caught the artistic
spirit, and have made admirable use of thesf
new fabrics in the creation of rarely beautiful
costumes, wraps, bonnets, hats, and acces
sories of the toilet.
SACQUES, CLOAKS, ETC.
While long French sacques of beaver and
chinchilla cloths and other cloaking materials,
are used for ordinary wear, the richer Sicili
enne and Antwerp silk and silk matelasse
and heavy camel’s hair cloaking fabrics, both
black and colored, are made up into long
dolmans, visites, and long, loose-fitting
sacque dolmaim, with elbow sleeves or dolman
capes superimposed above the sacque, form
ing ornamental sleeves and upper capes
combined. Such garments are lined with
quilted satin, and trimmed with the richest
ostrich feather ruchings, heading thick double
fringes, composed of pressed silk, chenille,
and crimped tape; and sometimes a rich
passementerie rat-tail fringe is added, falling
over the under one of chenille and pressed
silk. Tasseled and ball fringes are also
used, and to give added effect, strands of jet
beads are introduced in tho black fringes,
and amber and variegated ones in the colored
fringes that trim the cloaks of colored cloak
ing material.
FUR LINED GARMENTS.
Squirrel—either the whole skins or locks—
continues to be the popular lining fur. The
bands with which fur-lined garments are
trimmed all around this Winter are of beaver,
fox, chinchilla, stone martin, or Alaska sable,
and all the usual trimming furs, to which is
now added Grecian chinchilla, anew, medium
priced, and extremely dressy clipped fur,
that bids fair to be very popular.
MILLINERY.
The millinery, this season, assumes more
original and interesting forms than ever,
while no words can convey an adequate idea
of the exquisite colors and texture of the
materials. The satins, velvets, and silks,
the ribbons and all woven stuffs in millinery
goods, come in changeable effects, or if solid
in color, are woven with a glistening and
sheeny surface that is indescribably beauti
ful. The fancy feathers also are richer and
more variegated than ever, and the ostrich
tips and plumes are frequently shaded in a
novel and most effective manner; colored
tinsel, crystal, and variegated and fine cut
jet beads and ornaments are used oxl libitum
on everything, and gold and silver braids
and lace, gold, silver, jet, steel and variegated
jewel ornaments, all play their part in the
work of bonnet and hat ornamentation.
SIMPLE HEAD GEAR.
But while these dressy and elaborate
bonnets and hats are worn for ceremonious
occasions, in full toilet, the simplest kind of
headgear—felts, Derbys, and equestriennes—
are worn by 3’oung ladies on all ordinary
occasions, with little or no trimming on them
while their mammas wear plain felt bonnets,
trimmed only with plain satin ribbon, or
bands of plain silk or satin, and but one
modest wing, or perhaps two ostrich tips.
LINGERIE.
Among new neck lingerie are found chem
isettes of point d'esprit, of puffed tulle, and
of lace; enormous wired ruches of point
d'esprit and crepe lisse alternating ; enormous
cravats of white muslin, edged with Breton,
point d'esprit and other laces, and fichus of
all styles and dimensions, while for tall and
stately figures large lace half handkerchiefs
of Breton lace and point d'esprit , bordered
with plaitings of the same, are used with
marked effect.
GARNITURES.
The taste for Flower Garnitures on evening
dresses still maintains its hold on popular
fancy; and corsage bouquets of various
tones, according to the complexion of the
wearer, promise to be extremely fashionable.
F.T CAITERAS OF DRESS AND FASHION.
New gray gloves are blue tinted.
New reticules are square aud fiat.
Hand-painted laoo is a late novelty.
Plain velvet cloaks will again be worn.
Colored street wraps are again fashionable.
Undressed kid gloves retain their popular
ity.
Large and small bonnets are equally fash
ionable.
Chemisettes and inside kerchiefs are again
in vogue.
Many walking costumes are made with a
jacket bodice.
Fichus of all sizes and in every imaginable
shape are worn.
Tiger and leopard velvets are handsome
trimming novelties.
Large rosettes of Breton and point esprit
laces are worn.
There is no absolute rule about any detail
of the toilet this season.
Flowers are as much used for garnitures of
evening dresses as ever.
Cream-colored silk net, polka dotted and
washable, is sold for neck scarfs.
Both very light colored and very dark
costumes for street wear are in vogue.
Striped velvets are not so popular for parts
of costumes as those with set figures.
Opera cloaks of white toile sanglier (hoar’s
cloth), bid fair to be very fashionable.
The corsage bouquet of the passing moment
is one or several large red Turc satin roses.
White felt and plush hats and bonnets
continue to be favorite opera and theatre
chapeaux.
As many fabrics and accessories now enter
into a bonnet as into the most elaborate
dresses.
Lambrequin paniers and tabliers must be
very auple and carefully draped to look
well.
The tendency of the coiffure at the moment
is towards classic simplicity and old Greek
ideas.
The large direetoire bow of Breton or point
<Tesprit lace is the neatest Parisian fancy in
neck wear.
Medium and dark shades of kid gloves will
be more worn for full dress than for many
seasons past.
Singapore silk is the new name for a soft,
silk in rich cashmere colors and designs, used
for millinery purposes.
Spencers of colored velvet with lace elbow
sleeves, will be worn with white skirts for
evening dress by young ladies.
Some foreign fashion journals say that
dresses with but one skirt will certainly be
worn this Winter in heavy materials.
Turc satin is the now name for that soft
changeable, twilled, yet lustrous fabric, known
sometimes as satin de Lyons.
Lambrequin drapery with paniers and
tablier combined, is the favorite arrangement
O
for Parisian toilets of ceremony.
Two and three bands of narrow ribbon are
worn around the waves of banded hair that
are worn with the Greek coil at present.
Corsages opening low in front, in shawl or
heart shape, or square ala Pompadour, are
fashionable for women of all ages.
White moutonne, a soft lamb's wool cloth,
is used for dressy or evening or reception
jackets for young girls, with Oriental trim
mings.
A noveity in evening dress fabrics is white
toile sanglier. or boar’s cloth, a heavy* all
wool material, dotted in raised fine points.

A Verdict for the Liveryman.
AWARDED $3,433 DAMAGES —THAT CURIOUS
SUIT AGAINST A PRIEST.
Springfield, Mass., Nov. 10.—Joseph
Parker, the llolyoke liveryman, was awarded
$3,433 against Father Andre B. Dufresne. in
the Superior Court here to-day. Par L-t sued
the priest, whose parishioner lie was, for
SIO,OOO. for breaking up his business by ma
liciously telling his (look that they mint not
patronize him. and forcing them to obey his
command by threats of excommunication,
purgatory, and other dire evils, The case
will be taken to the Supreme Court on ex
ceptions. The jury, including two Catholics,
were out only an hour. During their absence
the defence is said to have tried to settle the
case, to prevent the decision going on record.
Judge John W. Bacon, of Natick, before
whom the case was tried, ruled that, while a
church may excommunicate a tnan, no eccle
siastical power can. under Massachusetts
laws, pursue him afterward, or wantonly and
unreasonably interfere with bis business
when it is not connected with the church
from which he has been expelled. No eccle
siastical authority can interdict a man from
pursuing his ordinary business, or prevent
even inem ! ers of the same denomination
from which he has been expelled to deal with
'lira. If the defendant only forbade the
plaintiff's customers employing him to bring
them to church, and to take some part in the
proceedings and offices of the church, then
the plaintifT cannot recover damages. There
must have been malicious threats, and injury
must have been done to the plaintiff's busi
ness to entitle him to recover. If any eccle
siastical authority in this country undertakes
to interfere with an excommunicated man’s
business, it is an unlawful act.
