GENERAL CBSERVATION2S ON FASHION AND DnEss.---.
That whimsical depot, la Mode, has, hi one of his thousand
and one caprices, brought autumnal bonnets into favour a
full month before the usual time. It is true that the reign
of drawn bonnets and rice straw hats has been OfficientlY
long : for, notwithstanding the backwardness of the :eatont,
they appeared early in April. We may now announce
though not entirely laid aside, they are comparatively little
seen, having given way to silk bonnets and Italian stray
hats, which have at least one advantage over the more beau-
tiful theugh fragile ones of rice straw, that, except Italian
e
depth of winter, they never appear out of season.
straw is conseerated entirely to half dress, and silk bonnets
are employed only for neglige. The favourite colours arc
pistachio, emerald green, apple green, ecru, and
We see several of straw-coloured you de sole, but generally
edged with satin of the same colour, with two deep PiPings
round the crown, one of satin, the other of you de sole.

These bonnets have the brims moderately wide, ant-. -
smaller than those adopted in the beginning of the set;sl
The favourite trimming for a green bonnet is a bouqto

ecru bonnets are either cherry-coloured or ponceau, and for
grey lilac.
those of emerald green the trimming generally consists of a
large white rose, with the foliage corresponding with the hue
of the bonnet.
White dresses are so generally worn for the pro menedf
thougli

that we see scarcely any others. They offer v:krietywith

appeared ; their place is supplied either by scarfs of b

-you de soie, trimmed with broad black lace, which, n' ,
withstanding the warmth of the weather, are still veil
fashionable.
White muslin peignoirs are the only ones in favour fcl
the breakfast table ; they are trimmed down the fronts
round the skirt with a narrow frill of the same mate he
bordered with Valenciennes edging. In some instances tr
peignoir is made with a square collar, bordered as just de-
peignoir ; but more commonly the collar is detached Eros
the dress. It is made extremely small, and with ewe
which cross in front, and are fastened by a brooch. ;,t;
also see several robes for neglige of white cambric, 'in"'
the corsage made high and plain, and the sleeves extrenicV
large, except at the top and bottom, where the fullness 1,5 a

with a deep flounce, having a broad hem. The flounce

White robes, particularly those of organdy, are by f4r,
'the most numerous in evening dress ; the few silk ones tbab
are seen are generally quadrilled in delicate colours. t
favourite style of corsage is that with the front a l'evantal
and the back plain. Tight short sleeves are not so nuine;
rous as last month ; those that appear to us most in fav°—
are confined on the shoulder, and just above the elbc*
with the centre forming a full bouvant. Coiffures en elle;
veux are most in request in evening dress. We see Vlll.l
arranged in soft loops at the sides, and a coronet plait twisted
round the summit of the head. Others, with the froPn
hair also arranged in soft loops, have the hind turned ur
in a full cluster of very small bows on the summit of
head. There arc also a good many arranged in ringletl
and a single low bow behind. Flowers are generally, 1?tio,
not exclusively, employed to ornament coiffures, some btet
trimmed with velvet, and others with riband. Wile;
flowers are used 'they are generally disposed in two bouquel
the one inserted in the hair, or the summit of the head,an,
the other placed at the back of it. Fashionable coloursr"
main the same as last month.
