DRESS AND FASHION IN PARIS.
(June—in advance from yrs' JournoL)

-
June is here and June costumes invite our admiring
attention. Drees no presents that charm of artistic
colouring which delighted Watteau, while the deaigns of
the uesr fabnca recall the pleasant Trianon days when
royal shepherdesses disported on newly mown hay.
Mauve and scabious are stall favourite colours, and
the ohs e of wood violets, which has not been seen for
• long line, may now frequently be met with, and has
• very charming effect, especially at this time of year.
The Potupeduur style reigns supreme for all dressy fabrics,
and in more modest washing materials. Toilettes for din-
ner parties and evening wear generally are made with long
trains; the ionage is separate and takes the shape of
a iaag point in front, dividing the putters, which are puffed
out on each aide. Flowers are more worn than ever;
with out-door costume the little bouquet la placed at
the waist, or on the left side of the chest, and it Is an
easamnical and pretty fashion to wear none but the
dowers in season small fragrant sprays of lilec are the
chief favourites at present
For dinner and the theatre, no newer or prettier style
has been introduced than the white flchu draped on the
cheat ; those worn with open dresses are very long, and
one of the two points is arranged am • half Jabot reaching
to the waist and turning • little towards the side. Other
&huts, which are even prettier and more dremy than
these, are rounded to form • short pelerine, and the long
ends are crossed and loosely knotted together ; they are
' made of tulle, embroidered with little flowers in silk of
t all colours. A novelty for evening parures is batiste, or
net, of • tawny shade embroidered with gold. White
'lace is employed this season in ornamenting both light
I and dark costume,: black dresses are tritons.' with the
I new coral fringe, which combines most effectively with
lace. The lame kind f fringe is also made of beads in
every variety of colour. Short costumes show a decided
! tendency to become shorter, so that the feet are entirely
diselotted.
_

Costunsee for early morning wear are made of plain or
fancy light woollen materials in slate grey, silver grey,
iiiteoas neck, •mck's head, dark beige, Dutch tulip, ;
they are generally trimmed with rich•looking partemen•
feria imitating the brilliant appearance of coloured bead.,
but free from the excessive weight of most beaded peer
menteries. Shot silks are becoming exceedingly Pork.

Amongst a number of lovely toilettes seen lately. •
very hand son ie, and at the same time serviceable costu me ,
was of black Indian cashmere with a teblier of Pompadour
silk ; on each side of this tablier, was • csamsle of bin •k
lace, in which were mingled bows and loops of myrtle
green and old gold moire ribbon. The skirt was bordered
with two /sleeted tomcats, striped with black satin, and
the skirt was gathered and drawn in at the back under •
large black satin how. The raisaquin of cashmere
trimmed with satin, opened over • small plastron of
Pompadour silk, and. ruche of lace srAlk bows of ribbon,
ornamented the fronL A very original toilette was ot
tawny hatitte, with three scarfs ot blue velvet starting
from the waist on the left aide. and ending at the edge ef
the skirt, where full ruches of Breton bye fall over a
pleating of velvet headed batiste. The penises were of
batiste, and draped by narrower scarfs of velvet ; a
lents velvet how ornamen'esl the league of the deep
jacket: the collars and cuffs were of blue velvet, and a
quaintly made Jabot of Breton lace completed the toilette.
