THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

There was quite an influx of country visitors at
the Exhibition yesterday, no less than 4,680 having
come up by the Great Western Railway alone.
The following schools also visited the Exhibi-
tion :-17 scholars from Highgate Night School,
expenses paid by Revs. J. J. fialcombe and J.
Beaumont ; 16 from Wrotham (Kent) Choir, by
Rev. F. Lane ; 213 from Duke of York's School,
Chelsea, by Secretary of State for War ; 11 from
Temple Bar Ragged School, by manaprs ;22

25 from Staine's British School, by subscription ;
12 from St. Bartholomew's School, nahant, Ozon,

tionaries from flocking, by Rev. H. Carrington,

Bell, Esq. ; 38 parishioners from Claypole, Lin-
colnshire, by subscription ; 36 artisans from Turin,

other contingents of leaser magnitude. From this
we may infer that the country itnmigration, as
well as the organisation of parties from large esta-
blishments in town; has fairly set in, and that we
may soon expect some of those monster attendances
which distinguished the late Exhibition.

FASHIONS FOR AuGuar.

(Fran Le Po11d.)

For the morning, or for travelling, simple dresaes
are more in good taste than anything elaborate. White is
in great favour just now. It is worn, not only in
jaconet, or pique, but also in alpaca. Indeed, white alpaca
is very fashionable, and snits both fair and dark com-
plexion., which white de laine will not do, as it casts a
slight yellow tinge, rendering it impossible for a brunette
to wear it. The dress is completed either by a Spanish
veate or a saute-en-barque. We would advise a blonde

to have hers trimmed with three rows of mauve taffetas,
each about two inches wide, round the bottom of
the skirt. If the Spanish vests is adopted, it must be
trimmed with mauve; if the saute-en•baryu. is pre.
?erred, that must have three rows) round it. But a
brunette should have her white alpaca made with three
narrow fluted flounces, each beaded with • black velvet.
The pockets also trimmed to match.
The Spanish vest. should be trimmed with velvet up each
seam, and round it a narrow fluting of alpaca, not more
than six-eighths of an inch wide, heeded with velvet.
Sleeves trimmed in a similar manner. Alpacas, foulards,
or thin materials are but seldom seen made with high
bodies, and bands or points.
When a high body is worn it is trimmed so as to appear
like a mate, and with it • hand made with • double point
behind and before. This kind of band is made in blank
taffetas, so that it can be worn with any skirt. The body
being only fastened at the throat, a chernieette of plaited
or embroidered muslin, or of jacouet, is worn under it.
The sautemo•barque is very generally worn. The bur-
nous is also in favour ; but the collet or round rape is made
very prettily for the seaside of • light-coloured cachemire,
braided all round in • large grecque, or lees simply trimmed
with • wide frill of guipure. Collate of white or blue cache-
mire are very distingu.
Amongst the novelties we may notice bands made of
Russian leather. They are worn with different dresses,
but above all with the chemisette and vote.

The trimmings of skirts are not worn higher than the
knee; frequently only a single Bounce set on deep plaits,
with a spew left between, and not wider than four or five
inebes, or sometimes seven or nine inches in width, bat
always with a heading.
Our principal couturieres are just now making a number of
elegant light dresses for the country and seaside wear.
A dare of white English muslin, spotted with pink, and
trimmed with 11 very narrow flounces of the same. Thaw
flounces are edged with pink silk, and the sash is trimnr d
to match. The plain body is covered with a pelerine, com-
posed of rows of blonde and ruches of white tulle. It is
trimmed with pink ribbon bows. The sleeves are trimmed
with frills, and • cuff of pink silk, with ruches of tulle.
This dives should be worn over one of pink silk.

A Chamber" gauze dress, Empress 'blue, checked with
white, and trimmed with four flounces of blue silk, each
flounce edged with narrow white blonde, and above each a
basis fold of blue silk, embroidered with white silk. The
body high, with revere, trimmed with biais of silk, edged
with blonde, and est on full. The sleeves, long and square
at the bottom, are full at the seem, and trimmed to match
the skirt. To wear with this dress wee a small round cape
of white cachemire,trimmed with • wide moque in braid and
jet, with • wide flounce of guipure.
Another dress from the same house was of Indian raw silk,
trimmed at the bottom with • single flounce, set on in plaits
a short distance from each other, with • ruche of black silk
to form a heading. The body was • small &nave, rounded
in front, square behind, and very short; the trimming
matehing that on the skirt.
Summer dresses are made generally with • scarf round
the waist, tied at the side, or very fruently behind, and
slimy@ trimmed to match the rest of the dress.
II The two following are elegant ball dresses first, of
tulle illusion, the bottom of the skirt trimmed with three
bouilloon4, separated from each other by a wide ineectios
of white guipure placed over pink silk. At the edge of the
I second skirt, which forms • tunic, was as insertion and
bouilloon& On the left side was a long wreath of moss-
Kees, looping up the tunic. Low body, with small round
bertha, trimmed to match, with a bouquet of roses in front.
Wide sash of pink silk, covered with guipure, tied behind.
The mooed was equally elegant, but more simple. It
was made of white tulle over several very thin skirts; the
bottom trimmed with • double flounce, 13 inches wide,
surmounted with • coquille also of tulle, pinked and
mixed with branches of wild men. The body, low and
draped, is trimmed with a simple wreath of small wild
Visiting bonnets are extremely elegant and light. The
following are some of the moot admired :
A bonnet of drawn white tulle, with bands of black lace
upm the curtain, which has • blue ribbon hemmed in the
edge. Upon the edge of the front • scarf of tulle illusioo is
gracefully folded, forming a coquille in the middle of •
bunch of blue feathers. The inside is trimmed with a
diadem of blue flowers. White strings.
Another bonnet is of Belgian straw, with a white crape
front covered with Chantilly lace, which descends on either
side, forming strings. Curtain of black silk, edged with
white. Strings to match. Coquilles of blood*, black lace,
sad large rosebuds on cioe side.
A silver-grey horsehair bonnet, with curtain of the same.
On the left side of the front is • grey rose fastening • black
feather, which turns over the edge. Inside is a bandeau
of black lace, with a grey roes between two pink ones.
Pearl-grey strings.
A pink crape bonnet, the edge trimmed with ruches of
crape, forming deep curves on either ride in the style of the
Marie Stuart. A head of plaited pink taffetas is placed on
the front. The curtain is of pink taffetas covered with
white tulle. Strings of pink ribbon. The inside is trimmed
with white blonde, pink eglantine, and ewe.
Hats are universally worn in the country. The shapes
and style differ slightly. The most aristocratic are the
most simple—mostly made of very tine Leghorn, trimmed
with white and black feathers.

The Imparatrica bat is trimmed with feathers of two
colours, sod fall of lace ; or with a taffetea scarf, edged with
lace, and the front covered with flowers.
The sailor's hat is aill3 seen, and is becoming to some
faces. The white horsehair, hued with pink or white silk,
trimmed with white feathers, and a fall of white lace, is
usually worn with muslin or light coloured silk dress.
Some very artistic caps are composed of blonde, with •
scarf falling behind ; the front is trimmed with ruches
of taffetas, in which are mixed very mall Rowers of honey-
suckle and rosebuds.

Wreaths are sot quit* so much wont am tufts of Sowers.
Green and coloured leaves are moth employed, either aa
trirnmier for dresses or coif!' urge ; lONS also foams a
favourite trimming.
