FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.

(From the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine of the
Courts of London and Paris.)
HATS.—We may cite among the most elegant a hat of
marshmallows lilac velvet; the crown trimmed with short
feathers to correspond. They are placed quite drooping on
one side ; the interior of the brim is trimmed with cabbage-
green terry velvet, tastefully intermingled with blond lace; a
demi-veil of blond lace, of the most equisitely delicate pat-
tern, edges the brim. Another hat worthy of notice is of a
new colour, mauvre souffre ; the crown is trimmed with two
feathers to correspond, and the interior of the brim with ma-
r.,on velvet flowers. Black velvet hats decorated with dark
blue feathers, and the interior of the brim with blue flowers,
are also much in request. Another very favourite style of
trimming fir black velvet hats is a bouquet of penes of dif-
ferent colours, placed on each side of the crown •
BONNETS.—Satin ones wadded and quilted are a good deal
adopted in undress ; the cottage shape is in general preferred ;
the bonnet is generally closer in the brim than others. A
peculiarly elegant style of bonnet is composed of either black
or rich brown velvet ; the interior of the brim is trimmed with
a wreath of roses without leaves; they are of various shades,
either of red or yellow, but each flower is encircled with
blonde illusion.
CAPOTES.—The novelty in vogue is the capote a la Duch-
esse of black crape ; the edge of the brim trimmed with a
ruche, and the crown decorated with black lace, intermingled
with roses. Light as this coiffure is for the season, it is very
much in favour among the elite of our fair fashionables. A
small thou of riband is placed at present under almost all the
bavolets at the back of capotes ; it raises the bavolet a little—
the ends fall upon the neck.
PROMENADE Dayss.—The costume the most striking for
its noveky and elegance is a black satin shawl glace, and a
white satin hat ; it is small, and of the capote form, but witli
the brim not so closely cut ; it is entirely covered with gauze,
as are also the flowers under the brim; the effect is equally
novel and beautiful. The robe is composed of black pou de
sole, with black shaded ponceau stripes, and trimmed with
two flounces, and surmounted by narrow ponceau rou►eaus.
The sleeves are ala chevaliers, and the corsage high, plain,
and descending at the waist in a point.
MORNING DRESS.—The corsage is made with less fulness
than in the summer, but this is owing to the difference of the
material, cashmere being substituted for muslin. The sleeves
remain the same. Robes de chambre are always wadded, ane•
several are fastened down by fancy silk buttons.
CLOAKS.—Some have appeared within the last week of
very rich silk, shaded in stripes of full colours upon a light
ground.
EVENING DRESS.—One of those distinguished for its ele-
gant simplicity is an Indian muslin robe trimmed with a flounce
of embroidered tulle ; it is surmounted by two bouillons, one
placed immediately above the flouuce, and the-other about half
a quarter higher. A broad blue satin riband is drawn through
each bouillon, and forms a full knot at the left side, but the
the knots are placed in an oblique direction, corsage a la
Vierge bordered with a bouillon, the riband farming a knot in
the centre of the bosom ; a fall of embroidered tulle is at-
tached to the bouillon, and descends upon the corsage. Short
sleeve, the shortest indeed that we have seen, composed of
three bouillons of tulle drawn with ribands, each ornamented
with a knot on the outside of the arms; a long floating, cein-
turc of blue satin riband tied on one side completes the orna-
ments of this truly elegant robe.
EVENING COIFFURES offer great variety; Jewish turbans are
in uncommon vogue ; Spanish hats are also in great request;
they are of a small size, that is to say, of a small size for that
shape, but much larger in the brim than those bewitching'
little hats called petit buds; these latter are a very favourite
head-dress. Caps, though less generally adopted, are a fa.
vourite coiffure with many elegantes.
BALL DRESS. —Crape begins to be in great favour for it. Some
of the most elegant robes de dense are composed of white
crape, spotted with gold ; three pinces, placed at equal dis-
tances from each other, raise the robe on one side of the skirt ;
a bouquet of coquilicots and of gold epis is placed on each
side of these pinces, and a corresponding bouquet on each of
the short sleeves. The corsage is draped ala Tyrolienne, and
the drapery retained in the centre of the bosom by an orna-
ment of a singularly novel and pretty kind ; it is a small gold
bird, set with precious stones.
LINGERIE.—The vogue which high dresses enjoy at present
is very favourable to the display of fichus, collerettes, &c., and
certainly they are now very generally adopted. Fichus of
embroidered muslin or lace are as much in request for high
dresses as falling collars ; these latter, composed of cambric
embroidered in feather stitch, and edged with narrow Valen-
ciennes lace, are next in favour to point lace collars for elea
gent morning dresses.
NEW MATERIALS.—Shot silks for half-dress are black with
green, cherry, or orange, either strained or figured in small
flowers ; one of the most elegant silks of this kind is a watered
pou de soie, a granite ground shot with light grey. Dress
ma'erials have a light ground, and are figured in very brilliant
colours. One of the most fashionable of the new evening dress
silks is a new kind of rips called Rochcline ; it has a groe-
seille ground, with very narrow white stripes.
FANS are now made too large to be elegant. Those
mounted in ivory, incrusted with gold and turquoises, arc the
most in vogue ; paintings, ala Vulteau, are preferred, but
some of the Chinese kind are also very fashionable.
JEWELLERY.—A great number of bracelets arc united on the
wrist ; they are generally very narrow, and covered with pre-
cious stones ; one of them must have suspended from a chain
an elegant smelling bottle, or a ring on the left finger ; ear-
rings are worn very large.
Fast-rum-alas Coeoefts are orange, purple, bishop's violet,
crimson, and several shades of green, brown, grey, drab, and
rose.

A CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—On Wednesday
an inquest was held at Aymestrey, on view of the body of
a child named Thomas Stokes. By the evidence, it appears
that the child was left alone in his lather's house on Satur-
day, and it is supposed that his clothes caught fire whilst
he was playing ; the unfortunate little sufferer lingered
until the following day, when death terminated his suffer-.
ings.—Hereford Times.
