I FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. The favourite colours for the season are red and yellow. Hitherto there has been some prejudice against red, but it certainly now reigns triumphant; and it has one advan- tage, that it is becoming to almost all complexions. The bottom of the skirts cut in festoons are still fashionable. They are made rather short, and below the festoons is a plaited bias flounce, which gives width to the skirt, and forms a train. The flounce is usually quite plain. When trimmed, it is with an insertion of lace. The festoons should be edged or trimmed either with plaiting, lace, frins-e, &c. Sometimes trimmings are placed from the centre of each festoon a few inches up the skirt, or even to the waist. The wide sash, tied behind, is still worn with both silk and ball dresses. For day or demi-toilette, the long and wide black sash is generally preferred, even with a white or light-coloured dress. Plaid or striped taffetas are also worn with black, grey, or violet dresses. The sash to match the dress is equally d la mode. It is fastened in front by a large gold or silver buckle. Organdi dresses, also. have coloured sashes, if the body is not made with long basques d'habit. There are some charming dresses of this kind. The body, entirely separated from the skirts, permits of variety in the toilette; for, as a change, a cachemire or taffetas veste may be worn, instead of the body like the dress. Cachemire collets continue in favour. We do not speak merely of the original shape, embroidered and trimmed with guipure, but of a very small collet, trimmed with two rows of cachemire braid, rather wide, and placed so as to form one wide band. This trim- ming is put all round, and at the bottom a black Thibet fringe. The fastening consists of a double orna- ment of chased silver. This model, made in white, would form a very pretty sortie de bal. Although it is rather too early to speak very decidedly about winter fashion, we can inform our readers that numbers of mantles are being made in armure and gros-grain silk, with trimmings of velvet and passementerie; and that the paletot make, as formerly, will be much adopted. Upon silk mantles some- times the trimming is put on, so as to imitate the basque. Wide bands of velvet edged with hanging buttons, or or scalloped. The velvet, after forming revers in the front is put round the bottom, and carried up the seam. White and black Thibet fringe is much used; when very wide it is placed on the bottom of mantles, or on skirts; when narrow, it is used to trim bodies or vestes. There is a very pretty little fringe suitable for the latter purposes; it is double, and divided by a very narrow cachemire galon. Embroidered dresses will be much worn next winter. The designs, imitating lace, will be very recherchd Black is always preferable, and should be rich poult de soie-the pattern being in violet, blue, or even red. The fashion of wearing vests by no means diminishes; on the contrary, guimpes and waistcoats are quite the order of the day. For the autumn the pique is often replaced by one of white taffetas, half open down the front, so as to show a jabot of lace. Long sashes of black or white lace are made very wide, and over a muslin or silk dress form an exceedingly pretty finish to a toilette. They are doubly useful, for they can be employed as head-dresses also. Amongst the following dresses will be found some great novelties :-A dress of white Cliambery gauze, with pink spots wide apart. Two little flounces, gauffered and edged at top and bottom with black lace. Between the two flounces is a wide insertion of lace. The dress has a rounded train. High body, ornamented with insertion. Narrow sleeves, with insertion up the seams and backs of the arms. Wide sash of black lace, very long, widening towards the ends and pointed. The head-dress is charming; it consists of a little pouff of pink and red geraniums, attaching a lace catalane, resting upon the back hair. Skirt of white silk striped with pink; a flounce at the bottom of the skirt' edged with pink. Dress of white linos cui in scallops, edged with pink silk. The dress is drawn up at equal distances all round. Low body. Lace berthe, trimmed with ruches of silk. Wide band of white and pink striped ribbon. Gold buckle in front. Coiffure a catalane of blonde mixed with roses. Skirt of black silk, trimmed with a plaited flounce edged with white. Over this, drawn up, was one of white linos, striped with black. Casaque habit of black silk, very full, with long skirt. Another very pretty morning dress was of white foulard, with black lozenge-shaped spots. Double skirt: the under one trimmed with a plaited flounce of scarlet taffetas, edged with the white foulard. The over- skirt of the same, open in front, and trimmed with a band of scarlet silk cut in pcallops, and edged with foulard. The upper-skirt is fastened in front with large buttons covered with scarlet silk. Wide sash of scarlet silk tied behind. Many dresses this autumn are made with one wide flounce" crossways, about a quarter of a yard wide. This has a very good effect, especially in striped materials. In this sty Ie was a dress of black silk, with satin stripes, very fine, of a rich violet. The flounce edged with a quilling of violet. The bottom of the skirt, which reached below the flounce, was cut in scallops, and edged to match the flounce. Senorita jacket, trimmed to match. There is little variation in the shape of bonnets. They are still small, and close to the face; without curtains, or with curtains about an inch in width. Dust-coloured crape, mixed with velvet, will be very fashionable this autumn — Le Follet.
