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- PREMIUM LIST FOR A. T.

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 pleats, and qnite separate from them, are ] Four to enter and three to start, square tabs of insertion and lace, in which a i rcBSK ' iu kee—tc.-n. tiny white wire scarcely thicker than a thread !
