LADIES' DRESSES AT VENICE.—A Venetian letter
in the Prrrem,renm of the Vith. treating of the Kiti;.'s
visit
to the theatre and of the ball at the Giovanelli Palace,
has the following :—" Above all was especially nut:eed the
goad taste of the ladies' dresses, strange and mulniirable
after the eight years of unae..enstomed neglise nce
in
'such matters—a neglect maintained by a patriotic
spirit of opposition. It seemed as though the empire
of fashion had never been abdicatsd. The Princess
Giovanelli, with her fine Roman type of counte-
nance, wore • white dress, adorned with green
leaves on the head and bust, intermingled with dia
mond clasps and buttons ; a fair-haired English beauty, a
real keepsake (sic) attracted notice byher profusion of Los.
spangles, and beads, disposed among her waverine truism
and on her azure vest. Much attention was also attracted
by a lady in the exact costume of the first French Empire,
a beautiful person, a young bride from Trieste. attired
almost in nothing at all, her hair dressed d fa Brutus, and
looking like an Empress Josephine, a Madame Tellien, or •
Madame Recamier risen from the tomb. Remarkable
for elegance and beauty were the Countesses Mar-
cello, Mocenigo, Zaccbini of Bologna, Bonin-novo
from Vicenza, an Englishwoman married to •
Rovigo gentleman, and others whom I have
forgotten. Of gems, grand crosses, pendant., ribands,
decorations of all kinds, a perfect inundation;
the ladies without costly necklaces and time men without •
chain of crosses dangling from their buttonholes might be
counted on one's ten fingers. It was quite a distinction
to have no decoration. Of jewels the profusion was in-
describable it seemed as if bniliants had rained upon the
head of the Countess P.l.padopuli ; Madame Retain had a
river of pearls upon her opulent shoulders—some 20 rows,
all of equal size and beauty, and two as big as pears in her
ears. Signor Ratazzi, who accompanied his wife all the
evening, might have pasted for • sentinel, watching over
the pearly teesure, and guaranteeing,, his date/manlike
gravity, their indisputable authenticity."
