LEstrantesl from the. World of .Fqshion, Monthly Ileila-
zine of the Courts of London a.ed
Neglige dresses' are now wan, compl-.c,ed of feul,:r4
quadrilles, or foulard ecru; these are embroidered w 0
braid, or silks a petits rayures, white upon dark colour id
grounds, barezes, and mousselines de soie, are also in.

with flounces cut on the cross, the sleeves and corsage
being likewise on the biais ; the prevailing colours are
green and lilac, skyblue and brown, cerise and white.
EYENm'a DRESSES_—Lace is-universally adopted r.
• this de: cription of costume, the form of them genet i.;‘j
resembling those named a la Foatagnes, and ii J.&
Pompadour.

they are embroidered en tablier, Cie silk braid when

TRIMMINGS FOR DRESSES.—La passernenterie is now
as much used for the decorating of dresses as for ti*
ornamenting of the pardessus. These fringes are put
on in several rows round the lower part of the deem.
whilst those which are used for the ornamenting of
pelisses have a fist appearance, and form a kind of
brandebourg trimming, such as upon an orange siik
material a largos rubans satineas white. Le tablier i 4
made of an open mate of the same colour, forming
spirales, intermixed at distances with pearl tassels.
CAPS.—Those now in fashion are of the most charm-
ing description, and of an infinite variety. We see them;
for instance, made in French tulle, blonde tulle, and
tulla:buillOr.e, and all ehiffonees, ( r arranged in a thou-
sand different .forms, a la vielle, a la Charlotte Corday,
la Marie Stuart, tl la Sevinge, it la Maintenon, Sce.
ahe favourite forms are those which are rounded at this
ears and trimmed with roses. Those for morning cos-
tume are also of a round shape, and made in lace and
ribbon, resembling in appearance those worn by oii
great-grandmothers.
CrrAPEALTX.—Le gris feutre is certainly more pre,ferrA
to-the gris fauvette. These hats are ofd shallow fora!,
and open,
,which renders them very different to the
Pamela shape. They are mostly decorated with
spout ii
plumes, ribbons, or clouds of
throwing a softened
shadow over the countenance. '!'hose in sky-blue pal&
de sole are very elegant
when covered with British
Mechlin lace, or made in gauss Ji se
hits upon pia
and decorated with a drooping flo‘:er' w
or feather.
159,p,u,T1E.--yire have remarked some very charmieg
white canezouts, which are worn upon low dresses madly
of muslin. embroidered au point d'armes, and eixirelea:
with two or three rows of lace. Les flatus Maintenea
are also in great favour; they are simply a half handker..
chief of lace guipur, fastened over the chest with a rnty/
of ribbon.

FLOWERS.—Spring has at last ushered in a perft et
shower of the most splendid flowers which the garden
or hothouse can :produce, foliage of every description,
branches of the lilac tree, and clusters of violces, ti e
beautiful bluet flowers, and red poppies, thirties, and the
eglantine, as well us the globba, encircled with its long
leaves, branches of the filbert tree, the tiger flower, with
its large pink petals spotted with black points, water-
flowers sprinkled with dew, leaves of the rater-cress.
the elegant iris flower of the violet colour, with its long
lanceole leaf, the fleurs de glayeuls. and numberless
others, too numerous to mention.
Paille de Riz, which are now out of number. This
paille, so white, so light, and so becoming is generally
in great request at this season of the year. Some re.
see ornamented with laces, attached with pretty bunches
of the anemone, or fruits, whilst others have simply a
wreath which encircles the crown, drooping upon each

.side we see the most charming
white China crepes anx broderies Chinoises ; then the
splendid black ones, in the same material, richly brods
in colours, les crepres de Chine, of a sparkling red, si-
milarly embroidered; shawls of lace, which serve. so
gracefully to envelope the figure, and Ins:ly, these deli-
cate looking embroidered mu;lin sly,, w 1;, lined with a
pretty light hue the same as the p'.isse, or with nutta-
berless rows of fringe, put on on tablier.
MATERIALS.—A charming nowlty has just appeared
which is called La Grenadine de laine, and is destined
to eclipse these nankins and foulards which have lattly
been so much in vogue ; it is embroidered au crochet,
and forms a delicious costume for the country or sea-
side. We have seen it made up in the pelisse style, and
trimmed with rich fancy ornaments, which hare a very
pretty effect.
