FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

(From Le Felld.)

Those who are not already enjoying the refresh-
ing sea breezes are doubtless anticipating the moment when
they too shall leave the great city, and travelling and sea-
side costumes are just now more attractive than the ele-
gant and costly dresses with which we have almost been
dazzled at the late fetes. As is usual at this time of the
year, our modistes prepare the most elegant and recherché
as well as the simplest of toilettes, and this season they
are certainly not behindband in originality or good taste ;
and although some may be too eccentric to last, yet the
larger number of models are in such good taste that, with
very slight alterations, they will be quite as appropriate
for town wear. We will, however, proceed to describe
some of those most worthy of notice.
A short skirt of white pique cut in squares round the
bottom, like turrets, and edged with " lhainarck"coloured
braid, each breadth caught together by a ladder of brown
braid, with the manliest bows of the same coloured ribbon
placed here and there, but not too closely together. The
petticoat also of pique, with three rows of the braid put
straight round. Short paletaA, cut and trimmed to match
the upper skirt ; sleeves nearly tight, also trimmed with
braid. The dress and palctdt fastened with buttons of
brown silk. The same model may be made of toile ecrue,
sultan°, or alpaca, trimmed with a braid of the same
colour, only a shade or two darker than the dress ; or, if
of white alpaca or stilton, rouleaux of coloured or black
silk way be substituted.
The costume " Prince Charmant" is of bouton d'or silk,
trimmed on the lower skirt with six rouleaux of black
velvet very close to each other. The over-skirt, of the
same silk, is cut in tulip or bell-shaped designs all round,
and edged with velvet. The paid& is in the same style.
This dress is original, but not likely to be very generally
adopted. The same design in blue or green and white, or
violet and grey, would be elegant and distingue.
The costume " Sultan " has the under-skirt of blue silk,
trimmed with a bias fold of white silk and a " Toni
Thumb" fringe, also of white silk. The upper skirt of
rich striped silk, white and blue, cut in deep points, and
edged with blue fringe. Instead of a paletOt an Oriental
scarf, crossed in front at the waist and fastened low down
at the back of the skirt by a bow of blue ribbon, may be
wom.

Alpaca or woollen materials are the most in request for
sea-aide dresses; the petticoat, dress, and palenit of the
same material, and trimmed to match. For this style of
dress the new poll de cherry chine, striped, checked, or
plain, is a charming material, preserving its freshness so
much longer than almost any other, and not easily injured
by rain.
There is little, if any, change in the size and style of
bonnet.. They are certainly not larger, but many of our
clever niodistes have been so successful in making elegant
head-dresses in the place of the large bonnets, that for
young faces one cannot at least regret the change ; and a
coiffure of blonde or lace and flowers, skillfully arranged,
is certainly not more unbecoming than the large over-
trimmed bonnets of bygone days. We will not, however,
take up our readers' tune with our own opinions, but eve
them some of the newest models on which to form their

A fanchon of white Malin, tulle, with scarf of the same

edge a wreath of ivy-leaves mixed with gold berries.

down the brides of blonde. Narrow white satin strings,
fastened under the chignon.
A bonnet of tulle " Bismarck," the curtain of blonde,
the same colour, which is continued en brides. At the

bronze colour ; at the side two gold rose-leaves and bird
of Paradise feather. The huhu also faatenened with
gold leaves.
A bonnet of violet tulle, style "Marie Antoinette,"
with pear-shaped drops of gold round the front. Betweea
each drop is placed a violet the natural colour ; a violet
ostrich feather falling at the side, and from that a cLain

violet tulle, which are spotted with violets.

pink ribbon and harbes of pink tulle hemmed with
