FEMALE FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER.
Front La Belle Assembler.)

• HOME COSTUME.—Dress of the canary yellow gross de
_Naples, trimmed at the border with three broed bias folds of the
same material ; the sleeves very full, and confined at the wrist
with three bands of the same silk as the dress. The corsage is
plain, and made partially low ; but the bosom is shielded by a
double pelerine of white crape,gauffree, scalloped at the edges,
and fastened in front at the throat with a bow of scarlet and
yellow striped ribbon : this tippet is surmounted by a small
frill of Urling's lace; the head-dress consists of a dicha negligee
cap of the same manufacture, with long pendant strings of scar-
let and yellow ribbon.
FnEricir MORNING WALKING DRESS.—A high dress of
a lavender-coloured gros (le Naples, trimmed round the border
with three rows of the same, of full fluted flounces, plaited in
in the middle; the sleeves en gigot, confined at the wrists with
straps of the same material its the gown. A pelerine cape falls
over the shoulders, trimmed all round, the same as the skirt,
except that this trimming is narrower than the flounces: over
the pelerine falls a double collar of fine Mechlin lace. A bon-
net of white chip is worn with this dress, which is more simple
and more a l'Anglaise than any we have lately seen front Paris.
This bonnet is ornamented in a novel manner, which takes from
it the summer lightness it would otherwise have, but which we
do not much admire : it has bias rouleaux of chip entwined all
over the crown, and reaching over a part of the brim. We
would advise our countrywomen who admire this dress to have
the rouleaus' of while satin. We only describe it agreeably to the
statement of it from our Parisian correspondent. It has a beau-
tiful full bouquet of blown roses with their buds and foliage
placed in front.

MonsuNG DRESS.--Dress of lavender-colour gros do
Naples : the corsage made rather high, and shaped at the back;
the fulness regulated at the top by three narrow bands, or silk
braid of the same colour : the sleeve full and long, confined at
the wrist with three ornaments of different lengths, narrowing
towards the cuff. The skirt is tastefully trimmed with four
notched rows of the same material as the dress, two of the rows
pointing upwards, the others falling downwards, and a fluted
band, encircled with a rouleau, adorns the centre; beneath is a
wadded hem. Epaulette braces, of pink and white gros de
Naples, meet in a point behind, extend in a slanting direction
to the shoulders, cross in front, with long ends loose from the
ceinture, which is the same-as the dress: the epaulette is trim-
med with a double row of pink and white quilled ribbon. The
cap is made to correspond, being formed of pink and white
and lilac gros de Naples, and a border of Grecian lace ; two
rouleaus extend across the crown, composed of the three differ-
ent colours ; the hindermost has a bow of pink ribbon attached,
the same as the strings. Lilac kid shoes.

arranged in an antique pattern, each uniting with the one be-
neath, and forming a neat and novel border. Head-dress com-
posed of a broad band of scarlet and yellow crepe lisse and
French beads, with a large uniform bow on the right side,
with two rows of beads across the centre. The hair devided

• SUDDEN DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF RUT-
LAND—We lament to state that her Grace was carried off
suddenly at Beivoir Castle about twenty minutes past eleven, on
Tuesday morning, in consequence of an inflammation of the
chest. Sir HENRY HALFORD was sent for express, but when
the Baronet arrived he pronounced all human aid would be
fruitless, and the event proved the truth of the prediction.—We
cannot too strongly impress on the minds of our fair readers the
necessity of wearing thick shoes ; the amiable Duchess lost her
life by exposing her feet to damp in her daily perambulations
around the grounds, in superintending the workmen, &c., for
her Grace was a great agriculturist—A month ago, the Dowager
Duchess was almost at the point of death : happily that ex-
cellent Lady is in a state of convalescence.—Her Grace was the
eldest daughter of the late and sister of the present Earl of
Carlisle, and was in her 45th year.
