EVENING DRESS.

A bright grass green coat, with buttons of the same colour; the
lappels roll from the ton to the bottom, and sit close in at the
waist; it is without pocket-Caps at the side; the pockets are in-
side of the plaits ; it has a ve4et collar of the same colour ; the
skirts may be faced with serge of the same colour, which is an im-
provement. Waistcoat of the Thihet shawl manufactory ; it ti,is
an edging of blue braid, and is made with a small rolling collar.
The trowsers are cut to tit the shape to the calf, from thence
downward; they should be cut to fit easy, without wrinkles on
the instep. Dress-trowsers must be made to fit particularly
smooth upwards.

ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DII4SSES.
A black cloth rolingote made a schall, and bordered with black
Astracan. The fronts are trimmed on each side of the breast
with six pattes in silk braid. On each side of the waist is a row
of braidinc, which comes from beneath the olives and serpen-
tines on the skirts of the bask and front, to His opening of the
pocket-hole.
Redingote eroisee in ;wise tte coloured cloth, piques a double
bards. The sleeves are tight to the wrist, with round cuffs, very
open on the hands. The pattes oC the plaits are of three points.
Silk buttons a pAiats noses. -
A redingote droitc, tpriww4g: Was cloth pique a bards
°averts. The txdiar,is bd.ft— lettferribW supple, and, as Well a.
the lappels, may be turnal back if necessary. • This :redingote is,
lined through with silk. The pockets are open on the linings.
Pantaloons are worn of different kinds. Some are large at the
lower part, and only tight at the fourche. The top is a grand
pont. Other pantaloons are half tight, with a gusset at the
ancle. The top is a petit pont, or very open in front. PantaloOns
of claim, so much worn last year, will be very fashionable this
summer.

Waistcoats arc worn generally long. We have seen them
sometimes longer than the coat when it is buttoned. Those raide
a schall have the shawl part a moderate size, and turning over
about half way in front. The most fashionable silk materials for
waistcoats arc as fellows :—a brown satin ground with veil,. t
flowers, either green, red, yellow, blue, or white; a spotted
ground, forming yellow and ponceau patterns, strewed with black
velvet flowers; a plain green ground with similar patterns ; a
black ground in velours ras, strewed with silver flowers; a green
ground, with small granite lozenges, having a yellow point in the
middle ; a brown ground, strewed with flowers, and points re.
loalres of light blue.

GENERAL, OBSERtiATION4.
A coat of bleu de roi cloth, the collar without notches, yellow
buttons of a new kind. Silk waistcoat, formed of two stripes;
the one dark chamois, and the other light green. Granite pan-
taloons. Black cravat.

A green coat, made to sit close to the shape ; the collar is
notched, the lappels are extremely supple and pressed flat.
Pantaloons gris Marengo, with a band- to correspond piquee a
plat on the side. A gusset on the ancle. Sous pieds attached
by double buttons; the button-holes are made in the panta-
loon. Waistcoat of chamois casimere, buttoning up to the collar
with almond-shaped buttons.

- . .
A black rediagote, with short skirts; lappets to cross; velvet
collar. Waistcoat of pod de chore of a very bright green ; grey
pantaloons, and a coloured shirt.

. ,
A redinflote droite of Carmelite brown, long skirts piquces
double bord ; pattes on the hips. A jonquille-coloured watered
silk waistcoat, with a white lappel made a schall; black panta-
loons. We must add the following to the materials already given
for silk waistcoats: a violet-coloured satin ground, strewed with
vvivet points, and flowers of light Caroline-colour. Gros de Sole,
with two s'ripes, the one green, the other orange.
Several young men of i-ashion wear double waistcoats a schall.
Several of the most novel waistcoats are in polls de chef re use of
straw-colour, grey, lilac, or chamois, with a flower of lizeron,
printed in colour on the material.
The knot of a dandy's cravat is no longer placed at the bottom
of the collar, but in the middle.
Round hats are now only worn in social parties ; cocked hats
are indispensable in full dress.
It is expected that a new-fashioned hat, called a Polonais, will
appear; it is of a William Tell shape; the brim is made like the
Zero hats, and there is a slight fulness in the bottom of the
crown, forming a heart behind and before.

Some dandle-a: have lately been seen at the theatres in printed
♦elvet waistcoats ; others in those of cachernire of a shawl pat-
tern, or with cross stripes. Almost all the coats had large lap-
pels, without notches, and velvet collars.
