HATS AND BONNETS,

As our limits will not permit us to enter into ifdetailed account
of the elegant winter chapeaux and eapotes now preparing under
the tasteful inspection of Mrs. Bell, we shall briefly notice some
of the most remarkable of them, first observing, that the brims
are of moderate size, the crowns are low, some are placed rather
on one side, and lower behind than before; the tops of the crowns
are round Many of the brides are trimmed with blond, and the
insides of the brims are always ornaments A most elegant hat
is of black satin, lined with rose colour, the inside of the brim
ornamented with blond lace, in the form of a fan, surmounted by
folded ribbons, arranged in a similar style; the crown is adorned
with a blond lace drapery, looped on one side by a double knot of
ribbons, which also serves to attach two long, curled, rose co.
loured feathers.

A chapeau capote, of ruby velvet, is borders,' with blue reu.
leaux, and trimmed round the lower part of the crown with a
wreath of a most novel description, composed of fancy flowers.
Several hats are composed of satin, and velvet of two colours;
the trimmings of these hats consist either of rosettes, triangles, or
losanges, which are also half satin and half velvet; the effect is
whimsical, but striking, particularly when feathers form a part of
the trimming. Some of these hats are ornamented on the inside
of the brim with blond lace, others are adorned with a wreath of
cut ribbons.

Capotes are of plain satin, or of watered silk ; those of black
satin, lined with blue or rose colour, and haling a mixture of
blond lace in the trimming, are remarkably elegant. Those of
lavender, or French grey, trimmed only with very rich figured
ribbons, are very appropriate for neglige.

COSTUMES OF ALL NATIONA,...spANrsn,

A white satin dress, finished round the border, near the
edge, with a rich fiat silver trimming, a row of which also
adorns the centre of the skirt. A robe of rose-coloured velvet,
open belbre to display the satin dress, is worn over it. The
corsage of the robe is cut very kw, pointed before, and laced
across the satin one with silver trimming, in the stomacher style.

coloi.red velvet, the lower one white satin, partially covered by
bands placed longitudinally ; it comes a little below the elbow.
A single row of blond lace, set on quite plain, falls over the bust,
and a velvet 'trend en papillott, with a gold pin in the middle of
it, is placed in the centre. The robe is finished up the fronts,
and round the border, with a flat silver trimming, similar to that
on the under dress. The hair is much parted on the forehead,
disposed in flit! curls on each side, and arranged In a low knot
at the back of the head. A bandeau of silver, beautifully
wrought, is brought low on the forehead, and a bouquet of three
white ostrich feathers is placed on the left side, so as to drop to
the right. Necklace, earrings, and bracelets silver. The gloves
