FASHIONS FOR THE FALL WOOLEN FABRICS AND SOME NEW IDEAS IN COSTUME AND COLOR.

New York, Kept. !10. —It will not do to hurry over fall shopping, for there is so much variety, so much that seems attractive, that one will inevitably repent, in the leisure that follows, if important purchases are made in haste. Still, there is much to be thankful for in the general features which fashion presentsfor inspection and approval. One can hardly avoid stumbling over very good things; the fine, soft serges in plain and plaid patterns; the resistant tricots in dark mixtures; the comfortable looking cloaks and jackets, and more remarkable still, made-up woollen costumes in compara tively simple designs, the drapery lifted and long instead of cut and bunched, as the usual style has been, long after it ceased to be the fashion. “What, oh! what shall I get for useful ness, for effectiveness, for good taste and, as far as possible, include the latest ideas }” is the cry of bewildered women, whose de sires are more comprehensive than their for tunes. Wait a little and think it out. Where do you go} What do you do} Un der what conditions do you live} You must not get what you do not want simply be cause it is pretty to look at. You can have the pleasure of seeing it in the shops or upon some other person’s back, but you do not want it; it would only be a trouble to you if you had it, because it would not serve your purpose as woll as something else. WOOLEN FABRICS. Wool is in the ascendant this season for all ordinary purposes; and the materials are fine and firm, with more of body than for some years previously; but none of the rough effects-—the is, knotted, tinted and the like, which have had a vogue for some time in the past. Cloth is the fabric, above all others, for tailor-made costumes. What the English call “face,” or finished cloth,and we call broadcloth; and it is in this that the finest designs and shades of color are to be found. The f Bordeaux red—the castor —the sage and moss green—the Gobelin blue and dark fawns are seen. Certain shades of green, Gobelin blue and mahogany or Bordeaux red are the “high” colors of the season; and they are enriched or contrasted with or by beautiful trimmings. The newest and most elegant of these are open passementeries m beads and bullion cord, or in silk cord, and gold or silver thread or braid; or in all silk cord and braid arranged to form conven tional palms or fronds and enclosed to make the essential stripe or border. Of course, the richest and most distin guished of all ornamentation is that which is executed to order in specialized materials made for the purpose, as the knife braiding in silk,or gold, oroxydized silk, in such shops as Redfern’s; but these are necessarily lim ited in their application, and are not within the reach of all, of even fashionable buyers. But these people do not make the mistake of using common tinsel, if they can not afford the best untarnishable gold thread or braid. They use silk braids, larger cords and simpler military and more open patterns. But such passementeries and open trimmings as can bo bought in the shops are, many of them, sufficiently costly. Nine and ten dollars per yard is enough for a headed stripe, less than three inches in width and of which two would be required to form a side panel, and the majority of autumn purchasers look and leave it, con tenting themselves with something at a tenth or less than a tenth. For the more expensive designs, which range from #2 50 to $lO per yard, it may be said that it does not take much to fur nish a dress. The panel, the vest front, the collar and the narrow cuffs. There is no bordering to the basque, no edging to the long draperies, which are laid as flat as pos sible, and in either straight or diagonal lines. NEW STYLES. A great feature of the season's styles is the contrast of the new shades of green, blue and red with block. For example, a moss green cloth costume is trimmed with black; that is, it lias a panel consisting of three stripes open black pasementerie, pointed vest front; high collar and cuffs are outlined to match. With this dress is worn a large, black hat; and later a Bordeaux coat of red cloth with black feather trim ming. Or the jacket and hat may be ma hogany red with Mack finish. Quite anew idea is to use tinted whim with red. For example, a mahogany red cloth suit has a three-cornered revers on the point of the basque, turned and faced with white corded silk. The hat may be a large, white, soft felt with furred border and all white feathers and trimmings; or it may lie a sailor hat of cloth, piped and red. The large hats are becoming to largo girls, with plump, round faces. White is used with moss green in the same way. A charming costume was made recently, by a celebrated firm, of fine green doth, with knife braiding of white chenille silk and silver, equal to the richest embroidery. This formed panel, vest, col ar and cuffs. The vest was partly concealed by one side of the bodice forming a point and l>eing fastened over it The hat was all white, large, with a band of the same trimming as that upon the dress round the edge of of the brim and a group of magnificent while ostrich feathers, r i which one was long for decoration. A white bonnet to be worn with a green costume was made recently, the crown of of which was white cloth, upon which were embroidered tiny birds in gold thread and green chenille; the eyes, minutest specks of ruby beads. The front was a full puff of green velvet and the garniture two white wings, held by a knot of green velvet . The panel to this dress was of white doth, em broidered like the crown of the bonnet, the latter evidently made of a piece of it, the embroidery having been done by hand. These contrasts are very novel and very striking in their effect, though less so than might Ee supposed, because the greens and Hie reds are soft and artistic: not harsh or glaring. Naturally they should not be copied Fiy those who can only do so in common ma terials. Finest colors and shades of color ire only found in really handsome fabrics, ind a contrast which is beautiful in rich materials and lovely shades is simply vulgar ind pronounced in common showy colors. The samo care and restraint must lie exhib (“l in avoiding tinsel by those who cannot iffnrd true metal. Not'ouly does the gild ing or silvered surface disappear very iinckly, leaving discoloration and shabbi tess, but the materials upon which they are ['laced are marked by them and the appear luce of wear and tear hastened. TIIE PERPETUAL AND PERENNIAL ficotch plaids have not linen so attractive for many a day as t hey are this season; and Properly combined and adapted can be worn by stout as well as tilia people. Besides the ’lan plaids, which are somewhat arbitrary ind trim best, with solid velvet, there are very handsome plaids made in several larger shadings of a plain color with which ;hey are combined; and b<> arranged that hey have the effect of a stripe, the cross tun s being lower in tone and the high colors in the faintest lines. The body part of such a combination is of !he plain color, the plaid forming plaited nanel, vest and finish for sleeves and throat. I'ho width is such that eight yards of the ilain and one and a quarter of the plaid make a full dress at a cost of {'ll for the Material. The pretty Vassal' checks are bebt made ap of themselves and trimmed with velvet, they are small and in lovely shades of olive and brown, dark greens anil black with hair linos of red; and grays with black and lines of yellow. Velvet collar and cuffs, ! velvet revers or vest are all that is needed as mounting, but a panel may be added if I desired; or a facing to the side of the turned over drapery, should the design admit it. The theory upon which n check or plaid dress is trimmed with velvet, is, that the plain, dark or neutral wool, having no char acter of its own is overpowered if put in small quantity with the more expensive plaid: while the velvet holds its own in any quantity with a woolen material of any kind, by its superior character and richness; and is therefore more effective in small quantities than plain wool would be; and satisfies the sense of proportion, possibly without the individual knowing the reason why. POPLINS REVIVED. Poplins have been revived abroad, and many handsome materials have been im ported which are, like poplins, mixtures of silk and wool. But it is doubtful how far they “take” with us. The Bengoiines have had no success. At asl 50 or $2 per yard they are dearer than minor silks, which have been so much improved of late years; while for their price, or very little more, a good, all silk faille or satin francaise can be bought. The most attractive of the new mixed fabrics are in rich striped or other patterns, in one color. The artistic effect of the dull, twilled outlining of wool or still finer veining of foliage, Greek or Eastern design, upon soft, satin ground without gloss, shows to what jierfection the ordinary manufacturer of materials has been brought. It must bo said also, that there is no ground for the old prejudice against mixed materials on ac count. of shrinkage of one of these from the other. Modern skill has made the compati bility in these cases perfect, so that they can be used as parts of costumes, as walking skirts, or for small or large wraps with safety. Nothing could be better adapted to combination with velvet or plush than these beautiful materials. In still richer and more costly stuffs the short effects have been brought out in a way to take the world of fashion by storm. But brilliant as they are—and for this very reason—their reign is sure to be short. 1 n silk they make beautiful linings, but they are not becoming to the face, excepting in very subtle or delicate colorings and ma nipulated with the utmost skill. The opal ine and snashell tints, for example, are ex quisite; but they must be companioned with delicate, white lace in seashell or maiden hair fern patterns; or with white, Canton crepe embroidered in the lovely faint colors and delicate little figures, which the shading of the silk suggests. Dark, shot velvet is also capable of fine treatment. Take the mOrdore brown, for instance, with golden fights which only show in the light, like* ancient Venetian glass. Put with this dull, gold-colored satin, striped with an open cord and bril liant beaded passementerie in modern brown, or with an embroidery in gold thread, brown silk and chenille, bodice trimming to match; and you will have a rich reception dress, the bonnet and small wrap for which can be carried out exactly to match the dress part of the costume. These shot velvets will be available in many ways and present mag nificent possibilities; but they will not, it is to be hoped, be copied in the common, linen backed and short, thin piled fabric, for the attempt could not possibly be successful from any point of view. In small quantities they are extremely good for decorative pur poses, for bags, for frames, for small mantles and even long cloaks, which may be lined w ith plush or quilled satin of the same ci .lor; old gold, olive, red or heliotrope, of whic h the undertone is composed. A short costume, one of a recently im ported trousseau, is made entirely of mor dore brown velvet, shot with dull gold and trimmed with gold and brown cords, over I>anel and inserted folds of gold-colored satin, Cords play an important part in the trimmings of the season. Bets are exhibited which festoon the side of the skirt and front of the bodice, the ends fastened by a series of passementerie buttons on one side and caught up in a group on the shoulder oa the other, that is to the left. ARTISTIC IDEAS and the play of fancy in dress find principal expression in the preparation for elegant in door, dinner and evening gowns. There is not much opportunity for diversified design in heavy fabrics, which must be worn wiih coats, cloaks or jackets in our cold climate. Besides,therejs a reaction in England against big sleeves and esthetic taste, which have reigned in the studios, displayed their od dities in the Grosvenor Gallery, and fur nished subjects for imitation or ridicule to the rest of the world for some years past; and so the gathers and the Liberty draperies have given place to the several outlines, and to the strictest style of tailor-made cos tumes. But the craze which deserted England (led to France and found a welcome there. Thus it happens that w - hile our walking dresses, w-hich we copy from English and German styles, are conventional to the last degree, our morning dresses from Paris are tea-gowns and our dinner and evening dresses half copies of pictures in the London National Gallery and half of Ellen Terry’s Beatrice or Portia. The rich stuffs, the damasks and silver and gold brocades, the velvet with the glow of firelight or sunlight in its folds and the stately moire, lend themselves to pic turesque design: and enable women of taste and means to cultivate styles adapted to their personal requirements. Beauty never before had such chances, for never before could it adapt its clothing to its own type and characteristics. Splendor grows with every recurring season, notwithstanding “corners” and “set-backs.” Small, real diamonds are u-ed now to stud the handles of fans and parasols and to form figures, such as flies, minute horseshoes, excrescents and the like on such as are made of real lace. A hundred dollars used to lie consid ered a high price for a fan, now - we have them in the shops at #4OO and #SOO and this does not represent the value of some pos sessed by wealthy ladies, for whom they have been made to order. French novelties in lionnets have also figured in England for some time past. They consist of full, oval crown and puffed fronts thrown up a little from the centre. They are more generally becoming than the little capote, more protective and have taken on the grace which the Parisian touch imparts to whatever it undertakes to manip ulate. The fashion of making the crown different from the brim still obtains, and many are of cloth, embroidered, beaded or trimmed to match suits; the full front, which is rather deep, and to which a sort of quilled effect is imparted, being of velvet. It is the upward kink which saves the brim from suggesting an ancient '-ap, and the genius of the milliner is displayed in avoiding the quilled ruffle on the one hand and the too expressive point—like a turned up nose—which has tieen a feature of the millinery of the past three or four years. Velvet ribbon strings—it may bo re marked —are used with these velvet brims, which are always of a darker one than the cloth. * Jenny June.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER I, 1887. A BIG FLORIDA SYNDICATE. Ten Million Dollars to be Ibvested in Silk and Other Industries. Mayor St, Clair Abrams has just returned to Tavares from Nu- York. The Tavares Herald has interviewed him with the fol lowing result: “To prevent any exagerated or erroneous statements lining made public, I will state that part of the work I was engaged in dur ing my three months’ stay in New York was the organization of a syndicate of En glish, French and German capitalists togeth er with the New York capitalist, ft>r the purpose of carrying out the plans formed by me ten years ago for the development of South Florida, aud to further which I secured from the Legislature of the State in ISSI the charter of the Pen insular Land, Transportation and Manufac turing Company. To this end the New York capitalist referred to made two trips to Europe while I was in New York, visit ing London, Paris, Berlin and Frankfort, and we have so far succeeded in the work that, at last accounts, nearly $1,000,000 of the $2,500,000 ot' the capital neces sary to begin with has been subscribed. We propose to complete the Tavares, Apopka and Gulf railroad and branches; to build a railroad from Tavares westward across Lake Harris, according to the plan of the Tavares, Brooksville and Gulf rail road charter, and another road from Tav ares south west wwd, probably to Tampa, adding, altogether, some 500 miles to the railroad transportation of Florida. Under the Peninsular Land, Transportation and Manufacturing Company's charter, we are authorized to increase our capital stock to $10,000,000. While the railroads are con structing we propose a comprehensive sys tem of settling the country on each side of our proposed roads by bringing colonies from Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy, and providing them with occupation to which they are accustomed. “I will state that one of our plans of development is the establishment of silk culture in Florida by bringing here hun dreds of families of French, who have been accustomed from childhood to raising the silk worm and who are experts in ilk cul ture. We propose to set out mulberry trees, build cottages and have everything ready for those people before they leave France, so that when they get here, they can go right to work raising silk. With our eli mate, we can raise what 1 term two crops of silk annually, as, in some parts of China, we can have two distinct hatchings annu ally. The foliage of the mulberry tree in South Florida remains succulent for over nine months in the year, thus affording food for silkworms from February until November. There are thousands of fami lies in France who would cheerfully migrate to engage in this work, if they had the chance which the company I am organizing proposes to give them, iso, in like manner, we shall arrange for the colonies from other countries in the industries to which they are accustomed. We .also propose the estate lishing of manufacturing enterprises of every possible character likely to become profitable and permanent. “The scheme is large, but is perfectly feasible, and 1 expect to carry it through in its entirety witnin six years; and I ex pect, further, to have all the projected rail roads completed within three years, and to begin work on them within six months. I shall probably have to go to London in December, in fact, the members of the syndicate there have been urgent for me to meet them in London next month; but I could not, as I had to return to Florida to make the canvass on the county seat ques tion and to attend to my law practice.” “Will the scheme interfere with or sus pend the work on the Tavares, Apopka and Gulf railroad!” “Not for one day! not for one second!” answered Maj. St. Clair Abrams, emphati cally. ‘‘The work of laying the rails is pro gressing now. We shall be running cars to Oakland and Clermont before Nov. 1, and we intend to be in Kissimmee before Dec. 15. There will be no delay whatever. In fact I have purchased and paid for $50,000 worth of rails and fastenings, and the money to pay for them was furnished by New York capitalists organizing the syndi cate with me, and I am expecting a letter daily, informing me that ?100,000 more has been placed to my credit. You can put it down as a fact that the Tavares, Apopka and Gulf road, or rather the division of it we are now working on, will be completed and in operation this year.” “That is quite reassuring, Major, but what about the road eastward toward Seno-a and the St. Johns river!” “O,” answered the Major, “I have ar ranged for that, although the foreign syn dicate will have nothing to do with it. It will be constructed by my construction company, and will run from Tavares by the south fide of Lake Joanna, all other reports and statements to the contrary not withstanding. Next week 1 shall see the people of Seneca and the Northeast and conclude the arrangements with them, and shall liegin the work within twenty days after.” “Will it be built by the Blue Spring, Orange City and Atlantic Railroad Com pany r " “No,” answered Maj. Abrams. “The company that have negotiated with me for the construction will purchase that road, and it is likely that the name will be changed to the Tavaras, Orange City and Atlantic railroad. You can state, further, that the whole matter of this line from the St. John’s to Tavares is left entirely to me, as I shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of every body within thirty days.” “Will your plans for the road conflict in any way with those of Maj. Hollister, the Superintendent of the Blue Spring, Orange City and Atlantic railroad!” “Good heavens, man, no!” the Major re plied, laughing. “Why, 1 expect and will get the very heartiest co-operation from Maj. Hollister, who has twice been to Tavares to see about the matter.” “It is reported that the road would go by the north side of Lake Joanna, and that Ma.i. Hollister favored this route!” “This is a mistake. Maj. Hollister, of course, has looked over the several routes coming into Tavares, but, as the route side of Lake Joanna gives three miles less of railroad and an easier line to buikl, it was decided at a meeting in New York wilh me last week that the line should be run from Seneca east and south to Lake Joanna, and I intend to begin the cutting of the right of way on that line as soon as I have seen the Seneca people. It may be put down as a certainty that this road will be built during the coming winter.” “How a tout the Tavares and Palatka road. Major V “I hope within the next thirty days to definitely announce the beginning of this work. Its construction within the next twelve months is as certain as the fact that Tavares has five roads centering here already. The absence of one party from New York has alone prevented the consum mation of this plan already.” ♦ 4 * 3 * * After some further unimportant conver sation, the interview ended. As an evi dence of the extent and bona tide character of the work Major St. Clair Abrams is doing, during the interview (which took place Saturday evening) Geo. A. Butler, the secretary of the Tavares, Apopka and Gulf Company, entered with a batch of letters winch had arrived by the Northern mail. Major A. suspended the conversa tion fora while to examine his mail. The first letter he opened and read lie handed to us. It contained an offer from a. New York capitalist of *130,000 for railroad purposes. In the same package was a telegram from New York, from another party, notifying him that another large sum of money would be placed to his credit by a specified date.
