FASHIONS FOR, JULY.

We must Commence our present mouth's descrip-
tion of the novelties by noticing the various bareges
now so much in vogue. The first that presents itself
for our inspection is the barege cristalloide, or double
barege—this is to say, two distinct materials united by
threads : for example, a white barege is covered with
green, or black under groseille, &c. The appearance
produced by these two shades is far more beautiful
than tho glares, besides forming a more solid material,
though not a less transparent robe.
Another novelty, is the barege bresilien broche, in
two colours, and checked. The checks are satin ; and
the broches wreaths of leaves to cover the whole of
the robe. Drab, sky-blue, and China rose, are the
colours most sought after. The check takes from the
fragility, whilst its lightness and transparency are pre-
served, rendering it a serviceable as well as a becoming
material for toilettes of the present season. Dresses of
this description are trimmed with three or five flounces,
according to the taste and figures of the wearers;
sometimes, one wide and one narrow alternately.
may be seen. These flounces are edged with a drawn
ribbon. Thu chesnut mousseline grenadine, with
three Pompadour flounce, is a great favourite. The
beautiful wreaths of flowers, which serpentine over
the robe, are broken at distances by untied bouquets,
from which showers of small and delicate flowers
fall, without the least confusion in colour or design.
The undulated flounces have
a triple wreath, fastened
up at each scollop by a bow Of ribbon with floating
ends. This style is perfect in elegance and novelty,
and is made in all colours.
The batiste de soie very closely
resembles the

seline grenadine; perhaps there ,

more firmness in the tissue. We have seen a very
pretty one, with five narrow Pompadour

Speaking of the seaside, vv.p aro reminded of the
beautiful cacheinires embroidered with coloured silks,
with which most of the ladies of fashion have supplied
I themselves before quitting Paris. For it must not be
I forgotten that -the air is fresher by the sea, or among
the mountains, than hi our greet city ; for which 1 reason the Indian cachemire, embroidered with co.
1 loured silks, or the Persian shawl, the yellow silk em-

so much in request.
