GENERAL Oesetreartosa.---Carriage
oral ladies in earn-
dresseSS affords this
•
month a good deal of variety. We see se
with blonde rufli:s. The hair arranged low,
brie robes made with high corsages, which
are trimmed atr
the
throat with foreign lace ; and pelisses of pou de soie full
colours, with the body made low, and the skirt open from the
in
ceinture downwards. This is a fashion likely to remain fa-
your
for some time ; for as it is only calculated for carriag
o
dress, it cannot become common. We see also some close _
pelisses of dust colour, or pearl grey pea de sole, edged with
narrow blue or apple green rottleaus, with a broad ceinteur tt,t,
the colour of the robes, but fring:d in that of the reek:at. t
Several new patterns of printed muslins. and a great vat ic y
of light materials, composed either wholly of fine Cashmere
wool, or of a mixtnre of it and • silk, have appeared for neg-
ligi and demi toilette, but silk still preserves a decided majo-
rity for robes of the latter kind. The mast novel are the peeets
de sole of a white ground, or with one the colour r, un-
bleached cambric, strewed with bouquets of colourei: 'lowers
or sprigs. The new gros d'ctes arc next in requis?,tion ; they
are watered, quadrilled, or striped, with small. patterns_Ui the,
stripes. In speaking of robes we must ol.,erve there is not the
least likelihood that tight sleeves wilt oe fashionable. We
see some very large, though not preposterously so ; the only
indispensable modifications are to have them tight, or nearlya
so, a little below the shoulder, and at the wrist. we see,.
good many made in four bouffants, which gradually direini-h
in width as they approach the bottom. There are also several,
with the upper part disposed in two moderate-sized Sa andbolS,
the sleeve from the elbow to the wrist made to the exact shape
of the arm. This is a revived fashion, and one that is
.be-
coming only to those ladies whose arms are beautifully rounded_
Some eleg,antes have recently appeared in summer shawls
of plain Cashmere, bordered with broad black lace of an.-
- tique patterns, Peeen, blue, and Carmelite brown
_et'
are
_
the colours of these shawls.. We look upon them rather
aQ a pe‘esing fancy, than a fashion likely to be genera)
adepted. Those of white damasked China crape arc decideLnY
fashionable, and are certainly very elegant. While we are
speaking of shawls, we must not forget to notice one that _e
,
have very recently seen on a lady of high rank and distinguish 2
taste. It was of India muslin, with a bread border, beautifully
but lightly embroidered in gold.
Undress bonnets are generally of the drawn kind. 'Vic
brims seem to have increased in size since last month. Th
are composed of pou de soie, which is the only silk fashionable
for bonnets. Those of demi toilette are of rice straw,. ors
crape ; a few, but very few, are of Italian straw. The hrull
of hats have increased in size, and are always a
trimmed in the interior. The crowns are put rather back
and and for the most past are rather smaller at the top than 07
good de%
bottom. The ornaments are placed rather low ; the flow!arst
even fall upon the brim. We must, however, observe, tt'
this rule is not arbitrary ; for though trimmings of this deserlr
tion are adopted by a majority of our fair rashionables, we F"4e
also several who have the ornaments placed high.
We may cite, among the prettiest rice straw hats, once trim;
tiled with white ribbands fringed Jwith green, and a. bong°
t
formed of two sprigs of heliotrope and a moss rose. Another,
well worthy of notice, is trimmed with a bouquet of white rail
bouts shaded with blue, and attached by a knot of white ean of
soie riband figured with blue ; a light knot and ban The
the same riband finishes the trimming of the crown•
brim, extremely large, is trimmed in the interior with
aureole of tulle blonde buillonno, and with a rose placed under
the tulle at each side. This style of trimming is as fashile;
able as it is becoming. We may cite also, as a favourite sty
of trimming for rice straw hats, a very light sprig of foliate,
-at the base of which is a camelia, a rose, or a fancy tlaw(ii.'
Some of the new robes in evening neglige are of clear- wag;
lin, lined with rose or blue gauze. They are of :Ile defeine-
redingote form. Some of the prettiest are trimmed dowai.:-;
front with gauze riband, to cotrespond with the lining% e";,151
arranged in rouleaus, and disposed in demi lozenges, w",'"„
increase in width as they descend to the bottom of the skurp'r
puffs of riband. This trimming has a very novel and
there is a small space between each, which is filled with tine

strewed with very small bouquets of coloured flowers. .5

corsage is cut square and low, but moderate] so.
trimmed with a lappet, which spreads out on the should the
and is edged with coloured piping. The sleeve, tight to •
arm, is encircled by two ruches at the shoulder, and tern,'"
nated by two others just above the elbow.
Rice straw hats are much in favour in evening dress. A ellee
many are trimmed with cherry-coloured riband, and two w"'"(
ostrich feathers tipped with cherry colour, or two sPrigs
ed
white acacia, parrache de cerise. We see also several viola; 0

with white riband, edged with cherry colon., and white 10
mingled with cherry heath-blossoms ; tlye flowers are placcat

rose and green, dust colours straw, lilac of various shades, an
