PASHIONS FOR MARCH.

(From Lc !filet.) 1.11
Up to the present time almost the whole
chronicle
-
chronicle of fashion has been devoted to ball ad evening
dress. Thin, trarpareet materials have been preferred
for dandies ; and ma gauze of a very lovely texture
called appropriately aerial game—has gained great semen.
We must still mention the patent velvet as greatly in
favour. Of oourse, if the drew is trimmed with tinny or
beads, one must have silk velvet ; but If perfectly plain, or
trimmed with fur, patent answer, as well. The colours
in which it Is made are tray beautiful—sapphire blue,
peso, violet, brown, and very light pink and
mauve. It is very much used for pastas, instead of
cloth ; and for children's dresses it is universally adopted.
About the make of robes there is bat little to say. They
ere more than ever cut on the bias. There are several
iodise who wear no plait at the top of the skirt, but gene-
rally there are two or *tee at the back.
The " Pamela' bonnet is gainieg favour, although at
present it is seen principally at the Opera or or full-drew
visiting dress. Some of our modistes have modigel the
form very meek, so as to make it leas trying ; still it is
certainly the young lady's bonnet par excellence.
For morning boooets the " Empire style still prevails,
bat the fanchon' is still mach in favour ; they are very
small and not much trimmed.
For evening trilette, flowers, gold, pearls, and bands-
Ott's are wore, but very little besides the hair is worn. The
" Empire " style is pining favour daily.
