FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

(From Le Pond.)
The rage for bright trimmings is u great as ever.
Steel is still much worn ; gold rivals it, but crystal is the
latest and most approved novelty. Tulle t 'nada are much
ornamented with it ; dowers ars covered with it. Besides
these shiniug bassets, we may see the simplest of toilettes—
dew and pastel to match ; indeed, it memo just now as "
olio could adopt the simplest style, or have recourse to the
greatest eccentricity of deem, without appearing singular,
But the latter will seemly be the taste of • truly elegant
woman. Is Paris, muslin in very well deth, for
walking dress, by thin materials, which throw
asily
crumple ; bat it is still an much wo. r indoors, and in the
country. W hit* is now not at all confined to young
people ; •11 its importers*, depends upon the style of trim-
ming. V. bare remarked some charming minters', with
loog ends, which form a complete trimming for the skirt ;
sod also come bodies imply covered :th a lece vette,
which has this adeselage, that it serves for different
drones—toter, mourn, taffete+, and foulard. Plain light
corn-flower blue appears to be shade most in favour for
foulard this seeaon—either quite plain, or spotted with
black spot", or striped with very fine black Som. When
plain it should be finished off by a thick chicorie,
pot on at equal distances Toned the bottom of the
skirt or placed up each seem to the waist, and
round the bottom al the sleeves and the arm-boles.
A simple, bat pretty trimming, which looks well
also on foulard, is Pinned of three bias piOC44 of the mune
material, piped with • colour matching the pattern. This
style of trimming can be worn on summer f +Hetes, for
which we may also mention the bas flounces, twelve or
thirteen indite wide, set on in gathers. One only is wore
at the bottom of the skirt. Insertion of lace are put above
the hem, but cords are placed at the bottom of the skirt,
sod either oirtied up each swim es high ea the waist, or
finished off • third of the distance up with • bow. For
simple dress, a medium width donee., or a bias piped with
a deep shade, are assuredly the most suitable. Small
Bunn, are quite out of vogue for dresses, but Is
great favour for petticoats. Sultans, in wool or
silk, with embroidery of straw or Week chenille, is
• material now in vague far mange' dries. White, either
in foulard, alpaca, quilting, or macho, will be very fashion-
able this year. Embroidered muslin will also be in great
favour, either over coloured silk or white. A drew of
