FASHIONS. FOR DECEMBtR.

... I

The month of December will c,immeoes, we believes with
wrourning for that much.ragreeted end respected Prince, the
venerable Duke of arunswick, who, as the brother in-law to
our beloved Sovereign, should be m•iurned for as an Uncle ;
serf, as such, black silk, with plain !Men, or long lawn, black
sl'lt shoes, love hoods, black nrckla,we, ear-rings, fans,
and gloves, are the usual Court Mou-Ping; but, on the pelt-
sant occasion, we shall not be surprised to find the maurn•
ing general. In tho forms of dress there is no change since
Lilt month, or rather Fashion has not recommenced her reige.
111P/ahelweard shawls, at present, are more prevailing than Spen-
t°. CZ pelisses. The evening dresses are chiefly made with
wrorper fronts, and come so high ever the bosom, as to re-
'Jude any covering but a tucker. Necklaces and broaches are
(sartiversally worn. The matrons, who consult what becomes
. .
them, wear Inrbaus In dress, and leave to youth and beauty the
caps of ribbon, and all the infantine head-dress of the pas.ing
hour. Colutleinsm, plain black clothes, steepen, and black
rewords.
