The Pekin velvet in broad stripes of two shades should
not be trimmed. The skirt should be long, and cut on

the bias.

Besides these charming robes.

we must notice th(

more simple silks for negligees. Woollen materials are
worn for morning dresses—reps, with small flowers, or
striped in black or sombre colours. Spotted taffetas and
woollen velvets are also much us( -

A dress of white satin, embioider3d, is suitable for
full dress. It should then be trimmed with lace en
tablier, and bows matching the flowers. The body
should have' embroidered tulle, and lace on it in drapery
form. The sleeves also must be long, and hanging.
Glace robes look very well whpn the front'of the skirt
is trimmed with passementerie composed of plaits or
rouleaux and tassels. The body then has a trimming to
match crossing from shoulder to shoulder, and being
narrower at the waist, a bow of passementerie is placed
on each shoulder, which has a very pretty effect. The
sleeves are trimmed to match.

We mention open bodies as a novelty of the season
They are now much made for home and dinner dress.

Pekin dresses are made in this style. Very full, and
long behind, and the bottom of the, skirt trimmed with
three fluted flounces. Main: body, with a kind of
basque square behind, and raised on the hip with two
buttons on tb.e back. This is called the dragoon basque.

Dresses without a seam at the waist are not yet at all
generally adopted ; they are however sometimes seen in
quilting, poplin, or Vichy cloth edged with velvet, and
trimmed with curled buttons, rosettes of guipure, or
black lace arranged in three rows down the front. Two
forms of this style are made :—The first has no plaits ;
the skirts is formed of goars, diminishing towards the
waist, and then enlarged again to form the body. The
second has only the back and two front breadths cat in
one piece and in a point. The two at the sides are
put in the whole width, and form three large plaits
under the arm. Sleeves made tight to the arm, with
one or two seams, are trimmed at the top by a full nar-
row bouillon.

In morning dress, small collars and cuffs of batiste,
or linen edged with colours, are worn, but white em-
broidery is certainly more recherche. For demi-toilette
thin muslin sleeves with frills, trimmed with guipure
and surmounted by an insertion in which a coloured
ribbon is run, are very pretty. Others are made of one
large puff of muslin, with a fulling round the wrist and
up the seam. Some muslin sleeves have mousquetaire
cuffs, lined witii coloured silk. Others are formed of

iz
three bouillons of tulle anduslin, separated by bands
of velvet with long ends, edged.. with black guipure.
Bouillons of muslin, with niches arranged in melonthape
are also worn. With all these sleeves, collars to match

are indispensable.
Nearly all the walking dresses are made with plain
skirts, trimmed en tablier or fastened up the front.
Some skirts are cut crossway, and set in at the waist in

large flat plaits—sometimes one plait under each arm
and two behind. Gimp trimmings for dresses are made
in great and elegant varieties. Aiguilettes, buttons,
bows with square ends, acorns trimmed with lace and
enlivened with black beads and flat graduated orna-
ments, both for bodies and skirts, are all in demand.
There is a question at present whether the Louis
XIII. round hat with long feathers will be adopted, this
winter, or at latest next summer. We cannot speak
positively on this subject, so we will describe what is
now actually .worn. The form is large, rather open and
forward on the forehead. A medium, however, should
be kept, for if the front is too forward the bonnet is
wanting in grace. The curtain is moderately wide.—

DUNDALK LIFE-BOAT.DUNDALK, Nov, 26.—1 t will
probably be remembered that, about twelve Months ago,
a fearful wreck took place in this bay, and that, in
attempting to rescue the crew, a ship's life-boat, manned
by Captain Kelly; and five or six other men, was cap-
sized, when the gallant captain and three of the brave
fellows unfortunately perished. The National Life-boat
Institutiofi has, since then, sent here one of :its smaller
class of life-boats. Yesterday, this boat was accordingly.
taken out for her quarterly exercise, the wind blowing a
strong gale from E.S.E., the most ;dangerou.s,wind for
vessels entering Dundalk_Bay. There was a very heavy
sea, with.much broken water and, surf,,and,accompanied
with rain during the trial. The. boat *is lauhched off
her carriage: with the crew in her, Rte-belts' on, and oars
in hand. -On leaving the shore, the cre*, pulled towards
bank in the bay, where the water appeared' most
broken, and the surf the heaviest? Where the boat was
tested in every possible *ay—viz.; head on to the sea,,
broadside on, and running before the sea ; in'every posi-
tion she behaved most admitably, , shipped little or no
water, and gave the crew such 'confidence that they
stated on, their return that no sea or .'no weathei would
deter them from going in her on any emergency:;' after
about an hour and a-half the boat returned to shorp;and
amidst the cheers of the aSsenibled 'people was replaced
on her carriage, and safely eoirieyed to, the giiprior, boat
laon.se,
,bnilt, for her at the exPenie 'of .that
