Silk Suitsand Ruffs. EXTRACTS FROM
From Harper’s Bazar, Sept. 17.
BLACK SILK SUITS.
Black s Ik suits remain the most desirable j
dresses tor fall and winter, and are designed !
for house and street alike. A stylish model
from one of the best Parisian houses has i
four lengthwise graduated puffs, each about j
six inches wide at the bottom, down the front
breadths. These puffs are not gathered, bnt
are held in reversed scant pleats, and are
edged by a milliner’s fold. On the back
are five bias gathered flounces that cover the I
skirt. A Pompadour bustle holds the flounced |
breadths out in a narrow graceful slope, aud
draws the front widths close to the person. \
With this is the demi-polonaise just described, j
trimmed with a bias band, piping and yak j
lace. The coat sleeves are trimmed to repre
sent a deep cuff, and the neck has a revers and !
collar. A second suit has the front breadth
ccvjred with an entire breadth of silk, puffed i
and held in twenty very full reversed pleats, j
while the side breadths are covered with
-hirred puffs. In the back is a deep Spanish ;
ti v.cce with ruffles and side pleating. A black .
silk house dress with demitrain has three clus
ters of cresent-shaped pleatings, forming !
puffs ca the breadth, with rows ot '
fringe cni passementerie, made entirely
of jet, separating the puffs. This skirt has no •
Ilouccts, but its back breadth is formed into
three puffs, one after the other, down the i
skirt. The pretty basque has a ruff and col- ;
lar of black silk, lined with pale blue. Au el- ;
egant carriage dress of pure blue silk has a
straight fold with black and gilt Japanese j
buttons upon it passing down the two front i
seams. A box pleating trims taho foot of tie
front breadth, and two wide flounces ruffled i
on the edge are on the back bieadths. There
:rc* two hanging chatelaine breadths behind,
by way of on over-skirt, and a sloped silk
piece is sewed under the folds, giving the cf-
l'eet of a polonaise. The basque is pointed
behind, and has three cords on the edge. A
low rounded revers trims the front of the cor
sage' : and thero is also standing English collar
of the silk. Coat sleeves with two pointed
cuffs piped on the edge. A black silk dress is
made in the same manner, with pearl or else
jet buttons on the fold.
COLORED SUITS.
Dark camel’s-hair or cashmere overdresses
with silk skirts of the same shade are prefer-
ied to suits wholly cf colored silk. Various
shades of olive are most largely imported in
these. Ostrich feather bands shaded beauti
fully are the handsomest trimming for cam-
el’s-hair, and these are much associated with
yak braid. Bands of peacock's feathers are
also used. Mantles, basques aud overskirts
of camel’s-hair will, it is said, rival the now
prevailing redingote. One very stylish cos
tume lor midwinter has an olive silk skirt
trimmed with three clusters of side pleatings
headed by shell pleats of camel’s-bair of a
lighter shade. The overskirt, with apron
front and two long points behind, is open np
the back to the belt, aud trimmed all around
with a band of ostrich feathers and the new
curled fringe; many horizontal rows of braid
trim the apron. The donble-brea6ted jockey
basque of camel’s-hair has a silk rounded rev
ers, collar, and silk coat sleeves. To com
plete the suit is a pretty mantilla, with hood
and cape behind, and long square fronts with
| a cunning little pocket in one end. Horn-

Other double rail's have side picoting inside
with double box-pleating outside. These are
sold by tho yard for S2. When made of
Malices, the single ruff costs S2 50. Black
and white mixed ruffsaro new. also those with
jet Scads on the edge. Imagine a box-
pleated frill of black Marines (fiue
tulle) with tiny jet beads ou the
edge, and inside this a pleating of white
tulle. These are worn with black dresses
by ladies in colors, and cost S3 50 a yard.
White tulle ruffs with dots of black chenille
on the edge are SI 75 for the single ruff, or S2
by the yard. More stylish still are the all-
biack, doable, box-plaited ruffs of talle edged
with jet. We repeat, these are designed for
ladies in colors. For those who wear monrn-
ing are black crep3 lisse raffs at $2 50 a yard.
Among laces, Valenciennes are the popular
choice, and the fancy now is to arrange high
lace raffs of very fully plaited Valencieunes
with standing collars, revers and bows of rep-
ped silk, pink, blue or pale green. Very
handsome lace raffs with a silk collar turned
up behind and showing revers in front, and
tabs or jabots of Swiss muslin with lace, cost
from $13 to $30. These are too elaborate for
description, and are worn to complete elegant
toilettes for the house.
Exquisite sets of raff and wristlets are made
of the finest Valenciennes and sheer muslin,
arranged in box pleats, while between the j 3d horse lo receive — so
