SHLLARD AND HOD

GSO N ,

In presenting their sheet of Fashions for the Spring of Eighteen Flundried and Sitr, beg to inform the Lathes of
Liverpool, Cheshire, and the surrounding neighbourhood, that the alteiration and extension of Premises, at 4n, 130Lri-
STREBT, art now completed, and the result fully justifies their anticipations of producing a series‘tif spacious and well
lighted SHOW-ROOMS, where every facility can be afforded to Ladies for selecting and judging of the style, fit, and
chromatic arrangement of the different Novelties with which the Saloons abound, while the additional available space
allows the stock to be so classified that each particular description forms a department in itself, thereby enabling the
empfry4 in attendance on the instant to submit for the inspection of an intending purchaser the particular style of
garthent enquired for. This is a desideratum that has long been required, more particularly where several metabers
of a family residing at a distance from Liverpool require to be suited, and whose time when in town is necessarily
limited.

Great attention has alF.o been paideto the Manufacturing Departmeat, and by the aid of talented Designers and
Cutters, and Workpeople of experience, combined with extensive and well ventilated work-rooms and machine-rooms,
and a judicious subdtvisioa of labour, they are enabled to execute orders of any magnitude at one day's notice.
ON THIS AND FOLLOWING _DAYS,
SHELLAItD AND HaDGSON
will he prepared with an entfiely

NEW AND CAREFULLY PREP *RED STOCK OF
CLOAKS, MANTLES, SHAWLS, AND JACKETS,
And, aided by the vastly increased facilities which their NEW PREMISES will afford, together with the favourable
position in which they are placed by the unprecedented success which attended their late SELLING OFF, they will be
in a position to offer
EVERY ARTICLE PERFECTLY NEW AND OF Till MOST RECENT FASHIONS.

Their Buyers have now returned from the London and Continental Makets, and, from the Commercial Treaty with
France, entirely ABOLISHING ALL DUTY' UPON MANUFACTURED SILK GOODS having come into operation,
they fully anticipate that this season will far surpass any p►eceding one in the extent, variety, and comparative cheap..
ness of French importations.

In calling attention to the accompanying illustrations, SHELLARD and HODGSON would ebserve that, at the
commencement of the season, it is merely a matter of speculation as to whet particular style will become most popular.
It appears, however, beyond a doubt, that any shape or style to obtain the slightest ebseeftif achieving even temp.)_

this way will he found among the first importations from Paris.

...
The ZOITAVF. JACKET still reigns triumphant in the fashionable itibria. - Those of Velvet Trill give piac• to
materials of a lighter texture. They are now being made in Taffetas, 4000110 an Cashmer• if diffesent celours—
principally China Blue, Violet, and White.

The Colours for those of TAFFETAS are Blue, White, _Rose, Maize, and any one of the lighter Shades, so that it
harmonises with the rest of the toilette. The Black Taffetas Zonave is always simple and pretty. and has the
advantage of being quite free from any eccentricity of appearance. These Jackets are no longer quilted, but simply
lined with Taffetas of a contrasting shade. Thus the Black or White with Coloured Silk, the Coloured with White
The lining is bordered with a narrow ruche of the same colonr. generally placed co that it !bows a little beyond theme
edge. and the outside has a trimming of narrow guipure round it, which falls over the ruche. The Embroideries of
Gold or Silver give to these a more particular style, which many ladies do not admire.

A little later in the season we shall find them made in Muslin for Summer Dresses.
We even now meet with them in Lace for Soirek or for Dinner Dress. Round the foundation, arh,igh is generally
of tulle, is a broad Lace faking over the Dress, forming a' flounce, or ruche. The sleeves are made very large, and
opened up, and trimmed round with Lace, and when dressily worn, halo no under sleeves, but have the arm
uncovered.—From Le Fond.
