PARIS FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER.

All the principal Magazine do Modes are stacked
with elute and mantles of every variety of form and reaSeriaL
Taw season the boathouse and the mantle may be meld to
contend for fashionable favour. The velvet mantle, with its
loom hanging sleeves, and elaborate trimming of passe-
mentor* lace, &c, la rich sad aristocratic. But the bur-
noose has the recommendation of being admirably well
adapted to ordinary outdoor costume, u it may be made of
cloth of the plainest colours. The boathouse is, however,
frequently made of very rich materials. At the open In
Paris many ladies have worn boarseases of rich versa, or
of brocade in whkb gold Is tateurovis. The heeds ere he-
gangly made so se to be taken off or bud as at plissem for
the purpose of substituting s hood of lea or rdpre. Theme
hoods of black lace or traipses, draws over the hied and
partially veiling the faze, have each of Use gracehl affect of
the Spanish mantilla, and their lightness runts any injury
to the coiffure. _

Paris is now beginning to recover that antmatka whidt
has been so viaiblyaospendedduring the interval datanweer

excursions. The Muss& d'Anun is almost entirely irw-
peopled. The 'Wets of the Faubourg St. Honor( ere no
longer thronged with English strollers, end even many of the
elegant inhabitants of the Faubourg St. Germain here rw.
turned to their winter homes.

Bat the lemon of balls and evening reunions has not yet
fairly ecensitenced, and meanwhile the attention of the Pari-
sian sualitaa is directed almost exclusively to out-door cc►
Lanes, or what is termed " toilette de Ole."
Dresses still retain their rant amplitude; not only elite,
but sleeves, are made exceedingly full. Flounces are no
longer fadispenaable; as many dresses are made without
flounces as with them. Broad aide trimming., in the style
called " quake," are highly fashionable, and they are better
suited than flounces to the thick, measles alike which the
looms of Lyons have this season produced.
Many of the newest winter bonnets are made of velvet of
two rObOrtft, as blue and black, green end black, &c. Small
tufts of feathers, in shaded hues, are placed at each aide.
Flowers and foliage, made of black end colonled velvet, and
tastefully intermingled with jet, are also favoarite 01111101111d1
