PAIILSIAN FASHIONS.

The fashion of wearing handkerchiefs en marmotte upon the
hats is revived. We notice a great many of them of white
upon yellow straws. They are also sortie of green Florence.
A handkerchief of this description has one cortaLr pinned to the
back, and the other two crossed upon the bosom or pendent.
I.ilac colour has not yet entirely passed away. The straw hr.
of the newest fashion, have not the leaf cut behind, but
turned up. The turn-up is generally lined with white tarata,
—The white capot hats are every day becoming dez.T...7-r ; not-
withstanding the prevailing proportion which places the face
awl ellegAkt woman, at too gre it a &stance from theciresissa •
ference of the hat; the leaf is still trimmed with a broad Lace,
falling down like a demi-veil. The ficlus surmounted with a
frill, constituting part of them, are not plaited. The trans-
parent neck-ha:idkerchiefs are made of very tine muslin. The
endive trimmings are still in fashion. Some full dress head
dresses in hair, arc ornamented with threads of gold, or silver
twist. These twists are hollow, arid about the thickness of a quill-
Coloured Jewish jackets are within a few days become very cour
mon. Besides the silk ones, which are worn plain, there are
other; of a gauze of sky blue, dark blue, or flesh colour. W•
also see some of cotton, with very narrow rose-colour stripesor
spots. The hack pieze of the robe, or of the Jewish jacket,
now ends in a point behind. Exaelly upon the angle there is
a button, which is either merely ornamental, or for the purpose
of confining thy waist.
