LADIES' FASHIONS. •
(From the Lady's Magazine and Mus.nan.)
WALKING Daass.l—Capote of satin. The ..fi'ont is mule
'arse, and to sit Very round, showing the hair nc Ntrly to the
top of the. head, and almost meeting under the c‘tin. Tl,e
crown is quite plain, and not high, and is placed so as-to slant
backwards ; being nearly on a line with the trent of ten' capote.
A broad satin ribbon encircles-the crown, and is finished by a
full bow over the bavoict at the back. A branch of roses
springs from the front of the crown. This very elegant capote
is edged all round by what is called a border. INbintean Mar-
veilleux : —This 11(w-fashioned cloak is made with a kind of
corsage, nearly similar to that. of a high dress; the lower part
of the back is in plaits as far as the waist, whilst the top of the
back and the front form a sort of tight corsage. The skirt of
the cloak is put on to a ceintur.N and is excessively full. A
trimming- of velvet goes across the back, forms joekies on the
shoulders, and lines the fronts of the cape ; the latter is se
contrived, that it forrry (at will) a kind of sleeve in the style
those called Venetian sleeves ; two small lappets finish the
cape in front. . The underneath dress is of mousseline de
laine. Brodequins of prunella ; hair en bandeaux lisses ; white

gloves.
•
BALL DREES.—Dress of tulle blonde, over white satin.
The corsage is made plain, to fit the bust, with draperies put
on aIA Sevignc. These draperies, which arc very full at top
dei.cend rather low at the front of the corsage, and are carried
over the s'aoulder and-across the back of the dress; the shout.
der-strap being placed very far back gives much elegance to
the appearance of the fi4ure. The sleeve, which is short and
141, is in four puffs; the two centre ones large and the upper
and lower ones small. The skirt of the. drers rimreed all
round the bottom with a garniture de bouillons en gaze (a
puffing of gauze), intermixed with flowers; a second trimming
of the same descends at each side of the front from the waist,
and forms a second row at the bottom of the skirt ; this second
trimming gives the dress the appearance of an open robe.
Isabel: this cap is made of blonde; the crown is
• a double border of blonde stands out from the

_
quite plain ;
and in the centre, immediately over the
face at each 5n.1.7.
,which is excessively deep, and has
brow, is another bordeil
an ; at the base of this fan-
rather the appearance of an oi.:!'n
like border is a bow of ribbon : a seC9nd ribbbn 'roes at the
back of the borders encircling' the crown, and finishes by a
small bow at back. A full.blown row is placed immediately
over the right ,temple, and a second in front of the left ear.
The hair is in smooth bands, and is very much parted on the
forehead. Gold necklace, white kid gloves, pink satin shoes,
pink satin ceinture.

MOANING Ditiss.—For morning dresses, the following will
be in chief request :—The stamped cashmere, a beautiful
style of promenade dress, shawl-pattern, or with small bou-
quets, on a dark ground. Rep silks and satins; some of them
having a different tinted surface, like rays, which infinitely im-
proves the effect. Flounces are talked of, but none seen, ex-
cept on evening dresses. The pelerine continues an obstinate
mode, though many ladies who arc conscious of really-fine
figures, dispense with a disguise invented to improve bad ones.
Several new dresses are made open in front, with a chemi-
sette ; but the plaited corsage, passing over the bosom, is the
favourite make. A change appears in the long sleeve, it is
still set into a cuff, but the end of the sleeve is brought down
under this, and arranged as a ruche round the hand, whilst a
second cuff points upwards, expanding in width towards the
elbow. Mantillas of satin and velvet, lined with plush (either
rose or cherry-colour) and trimmed with broad black lace, are
considered a becoming addition to a dark silk or merino dress.
EVENING COSTUME—Several changes appear in the make of
evening dresses; flounces of blond or of British lace are more
frequently seen ; the upper one narrow and headed by a broad
tuck, through which is drawn a rouleau of coloured riband.
Demi-toilette dresses have usually a tight corsage, finished at
top by a band en suite with the rest of the trimmings—the
drapery of lace being set into it. In full dress the corsages
are more frequently plaited across ; if, not a mantilla cape or
scarf is thrown over so as to relieve the plain effect. The
fulness of the sleeve is flattened upon the shoulders and usually
covered. With regard to the length and fulness of the skirt,
no change appears.
. HATS AND BONNETS.-7-According to every appearance hi-
therto, the winter bonnets will have rather high crowns and
large brims, the ornaments preparing for them are velvet and
satin flowers, bouquets of dahlias, &c. Rep velvet will be a
favourite material for these bonnets, trimmed with a rich bro-
caded riband. Meanwhile, we still see the lighter you die soie
in bright tints, rose, or lilac, adorned with a little plume of
feathers en suite, and a satin riband simply crossed round the
crown, and forming brides. Variegated plumes are frequently
seen in straw-coloured hats, a brown or black velvet band se-
parating the different feathers. A very becoming hat is worn
in half-dress, and composed of satin, covered with Arachnd
gauze, a quite transparent and glittering surface ; two fea-
thers differently tinted, a simple riband, called La Valere, and
edged with blond, or a more expensive one brocaded in silver
(these hats will be worn at the theatres this season.) A
very closp bonnet, coming low on the cheek, made of drawn
satin, and trimmed with rich variagated ribanis, edged with a
white spot. Velvet linings to bonnets are the immediate pre-
lude to the winter velvet bonnet itself.
CAPS.—The prettiest novelty of the season is a little mob
cap, with long blond brides, ornamented with a bouquet com-
posed of the curled tips of five feathers. In neglige, the
Ra-
chael cap is in favour—decidedly, our Israelitish sisters have
become ministering handmaids in the Temple of Fashion ; we
have the Rachael cap, the Rebecca turban, and the Miriam
mantle !
CAPER AND COLLARS are worn smaller than during the early
autumn ; they now only give a light finish to the shawl or
mantle; pelisses having always a pelerine or mantilla in the
same material, or more frequently in velvet, trimmed with
black lace. Blond lace caps will be very generally worn in
evening dress, particularly with robes of black velvet.
SHOES AND SLIPPERS.—The latter will be frequently seen
in black velvet, embroidered with roses, or worked in gold
and silver threads.
GLOVES with short-sleeved dresses, white or rase colour;
black lace with negligees, or else some foreign style of mitten.
Silk gloves are not so fashionable as they have been.
HAIR DRESSING.—Side curls are now mixed with narrow
braids, which twist round and sustain them ; the hair behind
is not dressed very high; and the parting on the forehead is
more pointed than usual in the centre.
FANS continue to encourage research in every old family
cabinet ; they arc indispensable with evening costumes, and
display every variety ever made from the days of Queen Anne
to our own.
PREVAILING COLOURS FOR THIS MONTH.—Myrtle-green,
marron, Haitien-blue, cherry, rose, and Pallisandre.

(From the New Month& Belle Assail!)lee.)
Mantles have this year made their appearance earlier than
usual, and there is reason to believe will be very generally
adopted. We are indebted to our Parisian neighbours fur
some new and very elegant ones for carriage dress, and also for
some well calculated for walking dress. Aire may cite among
the most useful of the latter, one of a new material, which in
colour and appearance, strongly resembles shagreen ; its so-
lidity and plain appearance renders it quite fitted fur a climate
like ours.
Satin bonnets are at present the only ones adopted in pro-
menade dress, they are mostly of dark colours, but we still see
a good many.both of rose and gold colour, which in most in-
stances are trimmed with ribbons checquered with black,
and the colour of the bonnet ; a sprig of chenille flowers is
son:efirrieg added.
The new carriage mantles are beautiful. The most elegant is
composed of :ilashwre, embroidered round the border in chenille.
Several others, annniosaal of silk and wool, are printed or
figured in various paitarns. One that struck us as remarkably
elegant, had the patter:' in green, very highly raised upon a
violet ground ; it was lined with violet faros de Naples, and
confined to the waist by olgb green silk coed and tassels. A
small green velvet collar, triinnaad with black lace, and very
large sleeves. Black satin mantles, trimmed with black volt
vet, are expected to be very faahionable about the end of the
month. We still see, and probably will, WI the weather be-
comes much colder, a good many figured satin shawl': in car-
r:age dress, and also those with plain black grounds, embroi-
dered in a rich border of flowers. They will be succeeded by
Cashmere shawls of various patterns, but the grounds In gene.
ral of dark hues.
Satin hats and bonnets are nosey priocipally those adopted.
We see a few, but very few, of pee de oie. Some of
the most elegant of the former are of rose eolour, or
sea-green satin, trimmed in a very light style, with !wail
bouquets of white ostrich feathers, or those of the colour
of the hat, or else a sir gle autumnal flower, always
placed without pretensions, and a small quantity of rib-
, bons, lightly disposed. We have reasiOli t<9 believe that
a light and simple style of ornament will he nioat in il-
, vow-, both for hats and bonnets. Drawn bonnets have now
o)mi:tett:l). disappeared. Tice Goa half-season ones have the
brims dearatalling- very low upon the cheeks, but varying in
their size, 04 ie their width across the fareltonO, according
to the physioo-nanlY a the wearer. There is, howerar, reason
to believe, that as I.lle scasea advances, tie brims both ofhate
i'
thaaa of the latter sufficiently
and bonnets will be large,
low at the sides to almost meet under they Ain, but very wide
over the forehead, as this form leaves the side; ; the
interior of the brim will be vary much trimmed with Wag
and ribton. We have seen some Hiatt have not yet apt:leered,
but which have just been forwarded to Yen' Airlobrateil house
here, from Paris ; they have the blond brought aW)9at Oat over
the forehead, and attached at the side by a full knot of tilk/an
which falls upon the hair; the blond descends very narrow
the sides, the ribbon which trims the interior is of the colaar
of the chapeau, as are also the ribbons that adorn the crown.
A sprig of velvet flowers, either of the .same or Af a different
hue, is placed on one side. We must observe, that velvet
flowers are expected to be very generally adoptl24 for tli
winter hats.
A mode is about to he introduced, for the success of which
we will not answer, but we think it probable, as it comes from
a house distinguished for its elegant team. We understand
that this house means to bring out hats of a very large size,_
and composed of you de sole and velvet, or satin nod velvet of
ateongly contrasted colours, but contrary to the atanal metl'od,
the light exibir will be for the outside, and the" dark Atip for
the lining.
The pelisse form will be tipley generally adopted in half-
drePa. Some of the prettiest of tins racif Pries are of granite
satin, with a palerine very open on the bosom, and encircled
with a rache of yitken, fringed in granite and green. A cor-
responding reeks deseentled from the throat down the body,
and passing under the ceinture, traversed the skirt to the
bottom it was cloak, laid flat on each side, and parted in the
centre by a satin band, about two inches broad.
The new silks for evening dress are of unparalleled rich-
ness. Brocades that might vie with the stand-alone silks of
our grandmothers, and of very similar patterns in rich full
colours, sometimes intermingled with gold, Satins ;_Rachel,
