Gros de Naples, with a Bavarian facing down the front of the
shirt ornamented en eceursoind finished on each side by a rich
trimming, en linzacon, 'omposed of silk and chenille; two rows
of which trimming ornament the border; and a flat double
rouleau of gror de Naples is placed on the hem next the shoe;
a double pelerine cap falls over the bust and shoulders, cut in
Vandyke points, and trimmed round with the above mentioned
trimming, which also confines the sleeves, in five bracelets,
from the wrists to about the middle of the arm beneath the
' elbow. A collar, partly standing up, but gently falling again,
is also pointed, and the points trimmed round to correspond
wi li the capes: this collar is surmounted by one narrower of
Uurling's lace. The hair is ornamented on the right side by
puffs of pink sarcenet, whence depend lappets of the same ma-
terial. A bonnet of grey satin, or of figured gros de Naples,
crowned with a plume of short white feathers • and a gold chain,
with an eye-glass, is thrown'over the bust: half-boots of plum-
coloured corded silk complete the costume.
MUSICAL PARTY DRESS.—Over a white satin slip, a dress
of crepelisse, ornamented round the border with two rows of
trimming of a very novel kind • each row is formed en balloons
of white craps, with pointed suilloped ornaments of white satin,
edged round with narrow pink roukaus. These pointed orna-
ments receive the bottom part of each ball, the balls being se-
parated one from the other, by a string of pearls. The sleeves
are long and wide, of the same-material as the dress, and dis-
cover the short pink sleeve underneath • they are confined at
the wrist, up the small of the arm, with 'four white satin bands;
the body is made en gerbe ; and across the bust is a pink satin
ornament, on which is a Greek pattern formed of white blond.
A pink satin sash is fastened before, with a pearl buckle, and
the ends fall over the front of the skirt,without bows. A narrow
tucker of blond, of a Vandyke pattern, stands up round the
neck. The hair neatly, and rather closely arranged, is orna-
mented with pink gauze entwined among the tresses, with a few
white full-blown roses, carelessly, and separately scattered.—
The ear-rings and netizhtees- are- of large-and valuable pearls.

sage plain, rt.ther high in front, broad- on the shoulders, and
edged with a double satin rouleau of the same colour; it fastens
behind with hooks and eyes. The upper part of the sleeve is
full; below the elbow it has three satin bands equidistant,
and tied in bows on the outside of the arm : the wrist
is finished with a double. satin rouleau and embroithe 4
cambric ruffles. The spirt is very neatly ornamented with
waving satin bands, a quarter of a yard deep, fastened
at the top with silk buttons, and inserted within the broad
satin rouleau at the edge of le dress : corded ceinture, orna-
mented in front with six silk buttons. Lace jichn, scolloped at
the edge and richly embroidered; it crosses in front, and ties

large regular curls, bracelets, chain, and eye-glass. The k-

ed gold rosette at the throat, from which the ribbon descends,
and a large richly ornamented gold cross is suspended, nearly
reaching to the ceinture. Morocco shoes.

Brussels sprigs; the corsage full, circular round the bust, and
trimmed with a falling lace : the sleeves short and regularly
full. The fulness of the skirt is not entirely set in the band at
the back, but slightly introduced in the front and sides, which
has a very pleasing effect with dresses of so light and delicate
a texture. Half way of the skirt is a very elegant row of flowers
in separate clusters, and beneath are two deep flounces of rich
lace, separated by asimple wreath of leaves: the edge of the skirt
is scolloped, and a richly embroidered dwarf cistus fills up each
space. Blue satin sash, with an embossed gold buckle on the
right side. Blue satin slip. Turban of blue satin ; the band
composed of four longitudinal folds, and a row of French pearls
