PARISIAN F ISHIONS.
The Thuilleiies are seldom frequented; except on Sundays,
but on these days, there is a crord in four walks.
Coblents is too narrow and confined; you arc pressed there
against each other, suffueated with the beat, and tired to death,
(rent eight at night until ten.
Frascati maintains its high rmiatation ; it is not only fre-
quented on Sundays and holidays, but evety day, for five hours.
It is the rendesvons of all who are styled Ls berme ersiapseule.

broad leaves.

Since the commencement of the warm weather, the Edcgardes
wear small coloured handkerchief., which they throw some-
times upon one shoulder, and sometimes upon the other. The
slippers, which used to be rounded at the tee, are now made in
the-shape of a duck's beak.
White, frees top to toe, was lately the fashion with cur
Belles ; but now, for variety, they have adopted a small Scotch
shawl, and red leather clippers, edged with black, or black
edged with red, forming a stiiking contrast with her cotton
stockings. Such is one of those distinguished milieu which
may be seen at Bagatelle, at Ranelagh, and at Cadents; but
which you seek for in vain in the garden of the Thuiller:es, er
at the Clumps Eliseo.*
