(From Le Follet.)
The law of fashion with regard to-the make of dress
seems now estabilished in a very decided manner. It is
quite inadmissible for any dress to be made with plaits
all round the waist ; the front and sides, at any rate, must
be plain. There are, however, two styles in vogue, the
Pzincesse and the fourreau. For most figures we give
the prefeence to the former, which has one large plait at
the back; while the second is entirely on the bias, like a.
long casassue, and is certainly less graceful, there being
nothing to mark the waist, the fourreau is, therefore, less
beconling than the Princes Be. For both .1--1-s the long
train is necessary. The size of the crinoline is very sen-
sibly dimihished, but it cannot be altogether dispensed
with whilst the dresses are so very long. Nothing can
sustain them so well as the cage, though that may be of
very small idimensions. The fashion, also, of looping
-dresses up over the petticoats, out of doors, which will
certainly continue through the summer, renders the crino-
line indispensable, in order to sustain them gracefully.
Woollen fancy materials are making their appearance for
the spring season shut that which still as always meets with
the greatest success in the foulard. There is no doubt it
will be the favourite, being at once so firm and yet so
light, and the patterns in such variety; it is suitable for
visiting and soiree dress, as well as for robes de chambre.
The foulard double-chain is especially charming. Of
such solidity of texture it equals taffetas, and in one sense
is preferable, being more durable. The white foulard
double-chain is beautiful, of such a pearly white. A four-
reau made of this without any ornament but a white silk
cord round the bottom, and trimming the body and sleeves,
forms a simple yet charming dress. Cashmere foulard of
patterns of bouquets—Watteau style—or stripes of violet,
red or black, are reserved for robes de chambre, which are
made with loose flowing skirt, lined with the same colour
as the stripes.
• The simple spring dresses will not be much trimmed--
patths, or lozenges, or silk pipings, will be all the ornament
—but for riehersmaterials the various kinds of passemen-
terie will be in requisition. By passementerie our readers
must not understand the gimp of former days merely, but
silk cords mixed with gold, cameos, fringes, crystal, jet,
and mether-of-pearl pendants in endless variety.
The rage for Cluny lace has produced many pretty
white batiste and muslin bodies trimmed with it, and for
small reunions they are much spoken of ; but it must be
said that black lace is preferable for evening wear, except-
ing, perhaps, fot quite young ladies. They are made with
basquines of wide lace, and, if desired, a sash or band may
be worn over them ; but they are always high, and some-
times made open a little way down the front.
As to sleeves, when worn at all, they are quite small
and straight, with an -insertion up the seam, but these
casaques areas frequently made without as with sleeves.
Of Course this depends upon the taste of the wearer.
We commence our list of dresses this month with some
full toilets for out-of-doors wear.
A robe of eel
grey poplin, with aband of green taffetas
round th! bottom, rounded and carried up the front, with
arow of green buttons on each side. Fitting paletot of
the same material, with a bias of green taffetas up every

as the dress, quite tight, short, and basquines slashed and
trimmed to match velvet ceinture. Panama bonnet of
violet crape, with a jet chain trimming it.
A Princesse dress of violet poult de soie. Round the
bottom a flounce of black guipure, wide in the front, but

barques slashed up so as to make five different ends, com-
pletely separated and trimmed round with guipure. Pamela
bonnet, entirely composed of shaded violets. Benoiton
chain of jet.

A morning toilet of knickerbocker, pale violet : dress,

SAMUEL WILDERSPIN, THE FOUNDER OF INFANT
SCHOOLS, who died on the 10th inst., aged 74, was
born at Hornsey, in Middlesex, not in poverty, as in one
place stated, but in lowly rank He obtained only an
elementary school education, and was placed to learn a
common trade ; but his sympathies led him to become a
teacher of poor children, ho began whore we in work-
houses and low neighbourhood ought to begin, namely,
with the " precious infants," using a term which he de-
lighted to employ ; and the honest, truthful, little man suc-
ceeded as he deserved. His first school, we believe, was
in Quaker-street, Spitalfields, London. As " Temple Bar"
in 1861 said, "ho was at home in the midst of babies."

What a fine touch of nature he displayed when he subdued
tc quietude a school full of crying, yelling, kicking, little
rebels, who had risen in boisterous panic to go to their
mothers, by marching among them with his wife's gaily-
ribboned cap stuck on a clothes prop ! He used to be
proud of this feat, and it illustrates the principle on which
he acted. Mr. Wilderspin was married twico, and he had
before throe daughters. Two of these have gone ' him. One
was unmarried, and she lies in Thorne's
churchyard, where
also his earthly remains, attended by friends, were placed
last Wednesday morning. The other was the wife of Mr.
Young, a fellow-worker of Mr. Wilderspin's, now principal
of the Infant department of the Irish Model Schoolsin
Dublin, who was present at the funeral ; as also was his
st.n, the Rev. Samuel Wilderspin Young, by whom part of
the service was read, Mr. Jones officiating at the grave.
Mrs. Ten ington is the remaining daughter. Her husband
Was known to and respected by many here, he having, on
some of his visits several years ago, lectured at our Mecha-
nics' Institution. Her son, too, was present at the funeral.

The Revenue Tables for
the quarter are now-be-
fore us, and are on
the whole tolerably favourable,
though, as was naturally to be expected, there has
been a considerable falling off
under some heads.
The principal deficiency is of
course in the income
tax, owing to the reduction from Ca. to 4d. in the
list year's Budget—a welcome
" to the most
struggling, toiling classes of the
community,n those
that come under schedule D. Another considerable
loss was to be expected from the tca duties, though
owing to increased consumption, it has been far
b
eI
low what was anticipated. It was calculated at
something under £200,000 a month, whereas it has
not nearly reached that amount ; so that, although
the Customs show a decrease of £1,296,000 on the
preceding year, they exhibit an increase of £396,000
on the estimate. The Excise duties, which are con-
sidered as the test of home consumption, have been
remarkably productive. The estimated receipts
for the year were £19,030,000, whereas the
receipts were no less than £19,788,000, being
£5,481,000 in the March quarter alone, or an
increase on the corresponding quarter of '65 of
1139,000. Under the head of taxes and Post-office
we find no variation from the estimate ; but the
Post-office, it must be remarked, shows the con-
tinuation of that steady increase which has now
become a matte of regular calculation. With
