Newspaper Page Text6 FASHIONS IN NOVEMBER. ABOUT HATS AND COATS AND FASHIONABLE FURS. Costumes for the Street for Recep tion and for Visiting—As Winter Comes on the Dressmakers Are Busy end New York Offers Many Fine Things lor Consideration. Nitf York. Not. 14 —Soroeie U under way again for the winter, and at the first meeting of the season it was impossible not to be struck with the prevalence of tails to all the furs. lean remember a big ohest that used to stand in the attic when I was a child. It used to sit on top of it while my brother rolled sweet fern cigars. It was printed pale blue, and there was a few col lars inside with long ends fringed with tails. I used to wonder then why anybody had ever worn furs fringed with tails and I am wondering now. A nice young woman who read a nice young paper—this was at the Sorosis meet ing—wore the table cloak which is figured. It was of the three-quarter length, and was tailed with beautiful regularity all around the shoulders. It testified in unmistakable terms to the slaughter of at least three dozen tail-bearing animals. A patient, long suffering furry face with bright eyes and poiuted ears lay across the fair essay ist’s tosom. On her fur cap was another face and more tails. .''ealssin coats are trimmed quite exten sively this winter with furs of lighter color and the effect in general is not unpleasing. By the way, I was standing over the last “form” of a daily paper the other day just as it was to be locked up to go down to be stereotyped for the "last edition.” It wouldn’t quite close; one column was too long. "Take out that cable item," said the "make-up" editor. "Leave It in” said I; “it says that sealskins are going to be lower, and that interests every woman In the city.” The item stayed, but Bealskins don’t yet appear to deoline. The newest form of wrap is u very awkward one. It takes the shape of au exceedingly full cape of three-quarter length, banging from the shoulders infolds; a second cape, wnich is short and pointed, is gathered to a poiuted yoke over it, and about the throat is a curling feather collar. The moet unprovoked fashion of the early winter, however, is that which inflicts upon cloth coats long and full and heavy fur sleeves. I wish I could set the figure of the typical New York woman before you at she ap pears of a bright afternoon on Broadway. She wears, let us say, a cheviot frock of olaret, or deep blu >or crimson. It is ,out with a straight, plain and ex tremely narrow skirt, which lies on the floor for a very considerable dis tance behind. Over this is buttoned snugly a close-fitting coat of the tame material, with a narrow edging of astrakhan. A little braiding In a heavy black eord is the only other adornment. Black gloves are added with a bonnet of claret or deep blue or crimson felt with black velvet, jet and black feather trimmings. The New York wornqn is in her element in November, for the tide of life is begin ning to be at tbe flood, and she eDjoys it thoroughly. I may tell you a little about a few reception dresses I have lately teen. One for evening wear and for a lady of years and matronly figure to carry it was of pale violet velvet with trimmings of heavy Bruges laoe and with train of silver gray satin. A dark brick red silk, of a shade supposed to beoome bo h blondes and brunettes, nut in reality trying to nearly everybody who put* it on, was cut with a princess robe bordered with a two-inch band of astrakhan edged with a line of gold. A baud of astrakhan confined tbe sleeves half way down, and went about the throat aiso. A heliotrope silk brocaded with flowers in a shade so light as to be almost white was perhaps as characteristic an example as any. It was made with a high bodice and long sleeves, the tops of tbe sleeves rather full, but caught down upon the liniug. The cos tume was trimmed with a bead passemen terie made expressly for it, the beads shad ing from mauve down to crystal white, and arranged in harp shapes with pendants. These were placed on the wrists and up and down the front of the bodice, which opened over a full crepe puffing. The skirt had a short pointed train. The frock is io an excellent example of an elaborate costume. I saw it at an afternoon reception, on the person of a young woman who was chape roned hy Mrs. Leslie Wilde, or, as she pre fers still to be called, Mrs. Frank Leslie, lu color it was a pale brownish yellow silk with sleeves simulated over-bodice of peasant shape, and deep, upturned • scallops at the bottom, of a rich, yellow brown vel vet. The long c at bodice was embroidered richly with gold thread and gold beads, aud heavy, but not wide, binds of gold passe menterie striped the skirt perpendicularly all arouud. Long cuffs of silk oame up over the velvet, reaching near to the el bows, and at the back the skirt lay upon the floor in a slight train. Quite as odd in its way and almost as striking was the dress of soft green cloth which in the figure is its companion. To the bottom of the long pointed bodice were attached basques s > long and of such pecul iar shape, opening in front and ending in points at the kuees, that they seemed an overskirt of some dignity, rather than any thing less consequential. From the shoulder seams, from the arm seams, from the arms, from the bottom of the basque started rows of fine green and gold braid, which meet in a great green and gold rosette on the bosom. About the throat and around the bottom of the skirt ran heavy braids of heaver. From the for started rows of braid at the bottom and these were gathered under rosettes at intervals, mak ing a curious skirt procession of triangles. Hats continue very small and do not change their shape greatly, perhaps because they have assumed to themselves such a great variety of shapes that to find any greater variety it more of a tax than even millinery ingenuity is equal to. Many are now shelf-shaped or like a little basket up side down, with a low soft crown and a brim of cloth or velvet, either fulled or pleated outside. Nearly all millinery orna ments are small. One of the newest is the “colonel” aigrette, which is thick aud short and ugly like a paint brush, iustead of bting long and feathery. Prince of Wales tufts are popularly worn anil ribbon bows. 1 saw a pretty blonde yeeterday who wore a blue velvet basket-shaped hat with a trellis work of jet over It, oausing it to glitter like the Bun and making it os heavy as the heart of the woman to whom It has given a head ache. Its trimmings were a little feather crest at baok and front, a lace aigrette and and narrow strings. A nasturtium velvet bonnet was very similar. Max G'HeU's daughter dresses very maturely for her age, and yet prettily. I noticed her a few days ago in a bonnet with a soft black velvet orown with a plait ing of malte ribbon ab-mt the faoe and jet leavee. A white felt hat worn by the girl who aooompauled her in her hriek walk on Broadway wae far more girlish and there fore presented poiutscf advantage. It bad gold spangies on its orown and a gold aigrette in front of the stubby brush variety of which I have spoken. Less gold ‘s used now than in tbe past, and chapeau strings have grown narrow, though hat strings are stiangely and incomprehensibly wide. If you care to use tbe latest technical names in milinery you must be particular to call the full soft crowns you see on half the heads and in all the windows “foods patis ■ier,” they being supposed to be like the full-crowned white caps worn by chefs and Freuch pastry oooka when about their busi ness. Millinery ribbons are especially notice able. Tartan and plaids, with great con trasting spots throw n out on their surfaces find favor with the big, bright-oomplexioned girls who are so daszling from 18 to 26. and so overpowering thereafter. The liking for jet hits become so pronounced that beads are woven into tbe newest ribbons, which have sometimes a jetted edge, and sometimes a jet stripe or two let into the materlaL The color mixtures seen are quaint and curious, heliotrope and brown, green and red, broDse and pink, gold and peach, and so 08. Dark green corduroy is a material which appears on the street more and more fre quently. As used for an early winter walk ing gown I noticed this morning a very good example It had a plain skirt bor dered in front with bear’s fur. The three quarter coat was gathered m the back and on the hipe and the revert and collar had bear edgings. The ha which finished the equipment was of green velvet with black plumea Ellis Osborn.

Observer, Weather Bureau What the Captain Said or Meant to Say Editor Morning Mews: In your issue of to-day’s date and under the heading of "Crews of All Nations,” I am supposed to have said that "The ordinary engine room is filled with the scrapings of h— l, bedlam and Newgate." I beg to state that your re porter evidently misunderstood my remark. \V hat I did say was that some of the firemen of the present day were 00m posed of "as above.” As your remarks would lead your readers to understand that I meant to in clude the whole engine room crew—which of course includes the engineers—you will see at a glance how manifestly unfair the foregoing is, both to myself, as having made such a remark, and to seagoing engineers as a body, In particular.

Human ingenuity has made it possible that American pleas ure resorts can carry with them the health-giving properties of Europe’s First Health Spring. We refer to Carlsbad Sprudel Salts. It will pay you to read up on this historical spot. For 500 years it has per formed its beneficent mission. Emperors, poets, statesmen, all men of wealth and station have sought and found health here. Quite an expensive trip. But you need not go. Every drug store will deliver you the Carlsbad treatment in a bottle, in the shape of the world-re nowned Sprudel Salts. Take no substitute. The fol lowing on the bottle proves its genuineness: “Eisner & Mendelson Cos., Sole Agents, New York.” THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1891-TWELVE PAGES. 3oCIETY= Notes. Another season of social gayetles is at haDd. W ith few exceptions most of the gay world is home again and iu happy anticipation of a bright, prosperous and, it might be added, a successful winter. The young business men seem pleased with the world in gen eral, and although thera are time who al ways say they are "not going outtuis year,” it can be safely asserted that they will all be on band ‘ ’for the first german," which is the signal in Savannah that the ball is open. The youug ladies have returned from their summer outings looking unusually well. The Savannah girl will be noticed any where as a true type of sweet woman hood. They are in their finest feather this year. The season has started a trifle earlier than usual. There are some elegant gowns to be seen on the streets and rumors of more to come. Many of our belles have been in Europe and in the large cities of the United States for the summer, where they have had the opportunity of procuring elaborate toilettes, which, no doubt, will be displayed at the soirees, assembly and germans within the next few months. The Boiree Club held its meeting to re organize last week. A great deal of pleas ure is anticipated from this club, as its entertainments were as handsome as any given last winter, and added very much to the gayety of the society world of our eity. The officers and b ard of management are such that its continued success is assured, (ien. Henry K. Jackson is president, CoL George A. Mercer, vice president. The meeting of the German Club took place ou Tuesday evening. Nov. 1(X The following gentlemen ware appointed as leaders: Messrs. F. A. Habersham, R. E. I* Daniel, J. B. Anderson, G. M. Gadsden, T. M. Cunningham, Jr. It was with much regret that this club heard the positive re fusal of Mr. W. W. Williamson to accept the position of one of the leaders, or to be on the committee. He has for several years done much for the pleasure of all by his dignified and systematic manner of con ducting the german he has led. Messrs. Habersham, Daniel and Anderson have been on the committee for more than one season. Messrs. Gadsden and Cunningham are new leaders, but, without a doubt, will prove themselves as efficient as the other gentlemen, and more than satisfaction is guaranteed. The Oglethorpe Club has been unusually popular this season, several handsome din ners and suppers having been given there a ready, and other entertainments are spoken of that will probably require the use of the club restaurant. Tho annual supper was celebrated on Nov. 4 with more than usual interest. The president, Mr. George S. Owens, was present, and lent dignity to the occasion, and gave great pleasure to all present. The beautiful voice of Mr. R. Cuyler Gordon charmed the members until a late hour, and all decided it had been a most enjoyable affair. Tbe prediction is that this will be a par ticularly brilliant season in the society world. About eight charmiug young ladies are to make their debut, and there will be the usual number of receptions, teas, din ners and theater parties given in their honor. Several private parties are being spoken of, and these are the entertainments that give Savannah so noted and well deserved a reputation for being in the front rank of all the cities of the south for lavish hospitality. Many weddings are lookel forward to with much mterest on account of the pop ularity of the parties most conspicuous in them. Rumors of a wedding come to us of a yonug lumber merchant of one of our neigh boring towns and one of Savannah’s fair daughters. This is to occur some time in December. The brilliant event of the past week took place at St. John’s church on Wednesday afternoon at 6 o’clock. It was the marriage of Miss Addie Stone and Mr. Charles Saussy, both parties being such well-known and popular young society people that it lia3 been the "topic of conversation since. The feature of the wedding was the unique style of the bridesmaids’ gowns. They wore yellow chiffon. Each bridesmaid car ried an immense bouquet of chrysanthe mums. It was a chrysanthemum wedding. The elegant and spacious parlors were thrown open to the numerous guests. The piazzas were enclosed, fairy lamps cast a becoming light over the beautifnl scene. The music was unusually good and added to the enjoyment of all present. The gifts were displayed and elicited much admira tion. No young couple bavo ever, started in life with more earnest wishes for their future happiness “and all went as merry as a marriage bell.” STATS or WXATUEB. Tbe society ladies of Atlanta are very much interested in anew charity. Mrs. Dr. Barrett is forming a class to be trained as nurses to administer to the sick poor. It is a noble work, and with a person of such ability at the head its success is assured. Mrs. Barrett has many friends here. For several summers parties have traveled through Europe with Dr. and Mrs. Barrett, many Savannah ladles having accompanied them. Our Savannah young ladies aro making most enviable reputations for themselves in the artistic world. Miss Clelia Elliott, daughter of Dr. W. H.

Many enter tainments are being given for her. Sbe has added more names to her large list of friends and admirers.

Her return to her home is eagerly looked for ward to by her many friends. Miss Susie Jaudon is a guest of her friend. Miss Garrett of Augusta. Sbe attended the first german of the season given in that city last Monday evening. The large cirole of friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

X 7 their tin wed ding. Mrs. W. W. Owens has returned to the city after a pleasant sojourn in upoer Geor gia and Virginia. The many friends of Miss Claude Bond will hear with regret of her absence from the city during tbe gay season. Sbe accom panies her mother, who will remain for some time in the northern part of the state. This necessitates the closing of the hospit able home of Mr. T. P. Bond. Miss Mary F. Clay will spend the winter DRESSMAKING. kuul tesilioj lily lil H. A. DUMAS, MANAGER. Our Last Week’s Success Encourages Us to Renewed Efforts for This Week’s Sale.

From Hit Excellency, W. J. Nor then, Governor of Georgia. I consider the Americanized Encyclo pedia Britannica a most valuable contribu tion to the literature of the times. It is concise and yet comprehensive. At the same time it is put at low price and made within easy reach of people of limited means. The work is splendidly adapted to the needs of the times. W. J. Northex. From Hon. W. A. Hemphill , Mayor of Atlanta. The plan and character of the American ized Encyclopaedia Britannica is fully ex plained in the circulars and advertisements of the publishers. I have examined the work sufficiently to eatisfy myself that It Is all that is claimed for It. The paper, print and bindings are excellent, and for prac tical, every-day use by the masses I believe It is better adapted to the wants of Ameri cans than the English edition, while the ex tremely low prioa aud easy terms on which it is sold make it possible for every home to possess it. From Maj. W. F. Slaton, Superintendent of Public Schools, Atlanta. The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britan nica was recently presented to the library of the Mallon Society of the girl’s high school, by the Hon. A. L. Kontz. I was requested to examine the edition and compare it with the English edition, which I did with great care, and say, that in all respects it is equal to, and for Ameri can use, it is an improvement upon its its great original. 1 regard it as an invaluable addition to the library. W. F. Sl a ton, Superintendent Schools. From Dr. J. W. Lee, Atlanta, Ga. The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britan nica is of the utmost value to our people. The information It contains is of such com pass and form as to be readily accessible. It is adapted specially to tho needs of the American people, the original of which this work is a compact epitome; is oonceded on all sides to be the beet encyclopaedia in the world. But its price. Its length and the omission of the biographies of living men are all against it with most busy people. This work deserves and will doubtless have a large sale. J. W. Lee, Atlanta, Ga. From Mr. Preston H. Miller, of the firm of Andrew J. Miller <£ Son, Atlanta, Ga. It affords me pleasure to add my hearty Indorsement to the "Americanized Ency clopaedia Britannica” and especially to the feature of "biograpical sketches.” The Americian people want concise state ments on all subjeots and will hail with de light the appearance of this great work. No man who has children should be with out this valuable acquisition to his home. It is an educator on wings. Truly yours, Frestox H. Miller. OUR PROPOSITION.
