MONTHLY CA LENII.IIt OF FASHION.
At this season of the year, ladies' dresses usually assume a win.
trrly appearisaice, shawls and light coverings giving place to the
pelisse or cloak.
%Ve have observed but few cloth pelisses among ladies of tank
and fashion s—these of rich figured and %laded silks, or velours
d'ipingle, trimmed with plush, seem to he most in favour. Some
are mutinied with a hansivatie fur, such as sable or ermine: the
equirrel.hacks and eltisichilli are also prevalent. The bonnet,' are
made of chaded materiels to correspond : black velvet bonnets are
like wise much worn, ornamented either with round feathers or eel-
vet Jaren s—they are of a *moderate sire. Black and brown Ira.

coloured ribbons. beautifully slinelet, and some ter with feathers'.
The most fashionable oaten els for making dresses arc tiros de
Naples, Itlerinoand 'aslimere. These are almost universally trimmed
1 with the {MC, and finished at the hotline' with three broad tucks ; or
a:corded trimming in a triangular form. We have observed some
with two broad tucks, finished at the top of each, as well II dm

worn, except in fall dress. For halt' or dinner dress, king sleeves,

vogue, and look extremely pretty and becoming. Long transparent
