Neglige dresses are new %. vi.n, composed of foulard
quadrilles, or foulard ecru; th,?se are embroidered with
braid, or silks a petits rayures, white upon dark coloured
grounds, barfges, and niousselines de soie, are also in
preparation.
DRESSES.—PIaided silks are now =oh worn, trimmed
with flounces cut on the cross, the sleeires and corsage
being likewise on the bials ; the :prevailing colours are
green and lilac, skyblue and browal, cerise and white.
EVENING DRESSES-Lice is universally adopted for
this de,cription of costume, the form of them ;,:enei Etlly
resembling those named d la, Foatagncs, and 1 la
Pompadour.

Redingotes are at present mach worn, made of silk ;
they are embroidered en- tabli,T, in ,silk hi aid ; wten
buttons are used, they must be of tl;.e. richest descr.'o-
- The sleeves of the pelisses live made tight, Cue
open at the elbow and wrist, and dirniirisif so as to show
the under white sleeve. Some of qsc tiress,s are
trimmed with narrow frillings etas e,, and of two s'iades.
TRIMMINGS FOR auEssEs.--La pas,enieli-t-?rie is now
as much used for the decorating of dresses a--; f;..r the
ornamenting of' the pardessus. These fringes .are put
. on in several rows round the lower part of the' dress,
! whilst those which are used for the ornamenti g of
pelisses have a fiat appearance, and form a kii of
brandebourg trimming, such as upon an orange cilk
material a larges rubans satinLts white. Le tablier is
made of an open mate of the same colour, formia,.;
spirales, intermixed at distances with pearl tass Is.
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
tulle-buillone, and all chiffonees, or arranged in a thou-
sand different forms, a la vielle, a la Charlotte Corday,
A la Marie Stuart, a la Sevinge, a la Maintenon,
i:he favourite forms are those which are rounded at the
ears and trimmed with roses. Those f< x morning cos-
tume are also of a round shape, and made in lace and

NOVELTIES.—We have remarked some very charming
white canezouts, which are worn upon low dresses, made
of muslin embroidered au point d'armes, and encircled
with two or three rows of lace. Les fichus Maintenon
are also in great favour; they are simply a half-handker-
chief of lace guipur, fastened over the chest with a ncead
of ribbon.

Faille 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 we
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 en grappe over the front ; they are also extremely
elegant when decorated with feathers nouces marabouts:
most of them are trimmed very much under the brim,
which is rather open.
SHAWLS.—On one side we see the most charming
white China crepes aux broderies Chinoises ; then the
splendid black ones, in the same material, richly brodes
in colours, les crepres de Chine, of a sparkling red, si-
wilarly embroidered, shawls of lace, which serve so
gracefully to envelope the figure, and lastly, these deli-
cate looking embroidered muslin shawls, lined with a
pretty light hue the same as the pelisse, or with num-
berless rows of fringe, put on on tablier.
MATERIALS.—A charming novelty has just appeared
which is called La Grenadine de laine, and is destined
to eclipse these nankins and foulards which have lately
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 have a very
pretty effect.
