The dclicato, fragile affair of painted gauze has almost entirely disappeared, and the fashionable woman of to-day adds to her charms by waving grace fully before her face n dusky, feathery oloud of ostrich plumes, for the new fan is always black. Tho fan to matoh the gown is also passe. Too much harmony, says fashion, is insipid. There must be an occasional contrast, by way of variety, and so tho gown of white or l ed or blue is set oll'aud em phasized by a fan of unrelieved black. A charming fan that was noticed at the opera tho other evening was fully two feet across, a dusky mass of short, softly cnrliug ostrich tips that would have sufiicod to supply several winter hats with their requisite decoration. It was obviously a very costly affair, and its expense must have been alarm ly increased by the sticks, whioh ware the most elaborate that have thus fur appeared in the Metropolitan. Tho foundation was of gold, with a won derfully intricate pattern wrought in gems. Jewels of almost every sort were brought into play to give a most rich and gorgeous oileot. Opals lent their bewildering lustre, sapphires and rubies gleamed bright bit of color and these were effectively mingled with diamonds and pearls. New York World. WINTER MILLINERY. For elderly women the shapes are more becoming thau is usually tho case ; they are a little larger than the cap style, and cover the entire top of the head. They all have strings, whioh are crossed at tho back of the head and tied under the chin, made of narrow velvet ribbon. It is considered quite permissible for women with gray hair to wear purples, the greens, and even reds; and somo very pretty bon nets have the crown of embroidered velvet, with a soft ruching of plain velvet around the face to make them more becoming. Tho edict has gono forth that the large hat shall no loDger be worn in the theatre, and a woman who tries to wear one is made to feel to uncom fortable that Blie very soou takes it off, so that it is now a well-accepted fact that large hats aro only for street wear. Worn with wulking costumes, they are very appropriate, and if beooming, exceedingly so. A great mauy plumes are used in trimming them. All black hats of this description aro very much in favor, sometimes mado entirely of velvet; sometimes the crown of velvet with a brim either a', plain or braided silk, or even with a shirred brim of heavy satin; and while all black feathers aro eoumdered very smart, other different colors, and even white, ara very much used. All eray hats uro favorites this season, and one of shaded velvet made with a quite lo.v crown is trimmed with two long plumes, most gracefully arranged, one lulling over thu brim almost down to the shoulder. With the hair arranged I'oinpadour, as is now the fashion, these hats uro put on slightly to one tide, and sometimes have the brim turned up very tharply at the left ; but many have only a small brim, which is curved at both sides.

FASHION NOTES. Jeweled buttons and enameled but tons, so carefully done that they ra Bcmblo Florentine mosaics, are used. The fashion for trimmed skirts seems to be gaining favor very rapidly, and the dressmakers assure you with great confidence that tuoy have come to stay. Beal jeweled pins will be much worn in the hair this soasou, and will also be Been on evening bonueta and dress hats. The odder the pin, the more it is prized and admired. Satin, serge and tweed knicker bockers, made with -a removable Han nel lining, are a good substitute for tho short flannel skirt, and ara worn ' with street costumes in cold weather. Corselets are in great favor, and the bolero jacket seems to have taken a new lease of popularity, and, com bined with the new corselet or high draped belt, will bo much worn this autumn. As for the bnttons, this season they are mado of tortoise shell, mother of pearl or cut steel. Fur buttons are out of date. The longebt jackets meas ure about thirty-two inches. The most popular length ia twenty-five inches. Shirt waibta of French tlannol in plain colors with black polka dots aro decidedly the thing for morning wear, and they'are made up exactly like tho cotton ones worn in summer, with a black satin stock collar or a wideliuoa one. Chinchilla toques are worn with gowns and ooats ornamented with the same fur, and they are trimmed with rosettes of bright ribbon, cream lace, and gray or black ostrich feathers. Sable toques with violets are another fancy. The loose Empire coats grow in popularity among youthful wearers and slender matrons. Some of the more recent models have stitched bands simulating boxpleats, and a few have their straight fronts open over fur vests. They have loose birhon sleeves with fur cuds and a very ex travagant looking Medici collar edged with a fur band, Lxpcnsive imported models in this stvle are made various ly of fur eutire mink, ottor, chin chilla or Persiuu lamb.

Among tho advantages claimed for tho brick is the saving of time, only ton hours boing needod for their man ufacture instead of eight to thirty days, a much less consumption ot fuel, scarcely nuy loss from burning, a crushing strength of from 10,000 to 45,000 pounds to tho square inch In stead of from 400 to 40U0 pounds, and a reduction of cost to three-fifths ot that of the old-etylo bricks.- New York Advertiser.
