FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.

LADIES' FASHIONS.
(From La Belle Asset-Wee.)
MottNING DRESS.—A peticord of ethereal-blue
gros de Naples, with two broad bin folds round the
border, on which are raised ornaments, representing
branches of palm-leaves. A canezou-spencer of
cambric, trimmed down the front, and round the
base of the waist with a ruche of thread tulle; and
surmounted at the throat by a very full quadruple
ruff of the same material. The sleeves very wide;
and d la Marie, with the fulness confined at equal
distances. 3faneherons of Cambric, with a double
quilling of tulle, ornament the sleeves at the shoul-
ders. At the wrists are bracelets of bread black
velvet, fastened with a gold buckle. A sash of white
satin ribbon encircles the waist. The hair is arrang-
ed in ringlets round the face, en tirebouc/wns, under
a hat of Murrey-coloured grog de Naples, ornamented
with bows of the same coloured ribbon, on which
are hair-stripes in black : a few flowers, in bouquets,
are slightly scattered over the crown ; they consist
of blue convolvultises and geraniums.
WALKING DRESS.--A dress of tnyttle-green gros
de Naples, with a very broad hem at the border;
Vandyked at the head, and trimmed round the points
with a full double ruche of the same material and
colour as the dress, pinked. The body made to
fit tight to the shape, and bound round the waist
with a zone pointed in front. Sleeves dla Marie,
confined only by one band, at the thiitest part of
the arm, above the elbow : broad gauntlet cuff, with
a row of very small buttons placed up it, on the out-
side of the arm. A pelerine of white sarcenet or
gros de Naples, edged with a narrow rouleau of
green, and near the throat is an ornament of beauti•
ful embroidery in green. Beneath a French ruff of
lace, tied round the throat, is a painted silk sautoir-
cravat. The ground of this elegant appendage is
pistachio-green, on which are admirably painted
various flowers. The bonnet worn with this dress
is of Navarin-brown, or, as is preferred by some
ladies, of the same colour as the dress. The crown
is trimmed in front with two double folds, in bias,
of the same colour and material as the bonnet, with
bows of myrtle-green ribbon. The bonnet ties with
a bow on the right side. Half-boots of light-grey
corded silk, with the tips of kid, and Woodstock
gloves, complete this costume.

(From the World of Fashion.)

Always alive to the welfare of a nation, which
owes its chief opulence to the success of trade, our
gracious Sovereign has abridged the time for the
observance of all public or general Court mourning!,
dear as may have been the object who caused them
to his heart. The proper etiquette for the Nobility
is specified in the order from the Lord Chamberlain. 1
Those people of fashion, the gentry, attend also to
this order as much as possible ; but black and fancy
dresses of various kinds appear, from the crape over
black satin, or gros de Naples, to the less classical
mourning of poplin ;_ richly brocaded pa!myrene
and the young have dresses now in preparation of
gray barege, plaided with black, for home costume;
for half-dress, gray gros de Naples, with black and
white satin chequers, and the evening party will
soon be enlivened by those beautiful materials now
in preparation, of grey crepe lisle, with rich stripes
of black, edged with white, and lavender with black.
For an evening dress party we have also Feell a most
superb material of black Japanese gauze, covered
over with a pattern of brocaded natural flowers, in
light gray.
• Numerous were the fancy articles, and those of
extreme beauty, which issued from our looms, be-
fore we heard of thxdemise of the late Queen of
Wurtemberg; as some of these were only adapted
to the milder weather, which often takes place at
the close of October, they were of that flimsy tex-
ture, that we fear will render them a great loss to
the artist; there are others, however, so novel and
beautiful, and so well suited to young persons, that
;here is little doubt of their being in high estimation
by those fashionable!' who may please to patronise
them on the cessation of the mourning. There are
two, which we particularly cite and recommend:
they are of palmyrene. One is fitted for hoine cos-
tume, and is of plaid, of light and lively colours,
on a stone-coloured ground. The other is for the
evening dress party, and is of plain p.lmyrene, of a
most beautifully bright, and Indian rose-colour.
There is little doubt but what, ere November
closes, the general mourning will be in its wane :
such was the event on that worn for the ever-to-be-•
lamented puke of York. In our fashionable intelli-
gence we shall, therefore, give.an account of what is
expected to be the prevailing modes during the com-
mencement of the winter.

Both during the mourning and after, for an out-
door costume, is a beautiful mantlet of black Genoa
velvet; fastening down at the back, at the base of
the waist, and from the fastening is a jacket kind of
ornament; the ends of this very tasteful article of
dress fall down in front, as low as the feet. The
throat is finished by a square, falling collar, which
descends, as a cape, as low as the shoulders. Silk
pelisses will be very general; they are made ex-
tremely plain ; they either wrap over or are fastened
imperceptibly down the skirts; a very broad hem,
headed by a narrow rouleau, forms all the ornament
at the border of the skirt; the body is made tight
to the shape, and the sleeves are terminated at the
wrists by a cuff, finished in points, a la Vandyck.
The make of the gowns continue, at present,
much the same as during the last month ; but a very
charming appendage is in preparation, to be added
to them in half-dress; this is an apron of gros de
Naples, of a remarkably rich kind ; the colour is
black; it is ornamented round the edge by a splen-
did border of painting, in various colours, represent-
ing delicate flowers superbly grouped together; at
each corner of ,the apron is a butterfly of the most
brilliant httes with the wings extended. This apron
has two packets, and a bib made like a stomacher,
with braces, both painted in a manner similar to
the border of the apron ; a reticule also, of the same
texture and embellishments as those of the apron,
completes the costume. Another beautiful appen-
dage to a high dress, or a pelisse, is the sautoir-
cravat; this is formed of stiffened silk, white, on
which are exquisitely painted butterflies and various
flowers, coloured from nature. It is bound next the
throat with narrow satin ribbon, of a Pomona green.
One end depends in front, and fastened with a but-
terfly brooch, where it seems to tie.
Among the new bonnets expected to be worn, is
' one of fawn colour, figured over in a plaid formed of
small hair stripes of scarlet and green. The crown
is trimmed with cornucopise ornaments, lined with
pistachio-green satin, and hound with the same; in
each hollow, formed by the cornucopias, are placed
bouquets of exotic flowers, all different from each
other in colour and kind. A walking bonnet, for
half-mourning, extended wide in front, and having
the appearance of a hat, is of
,uhite gros de Naples,
and is trimmed with stria/id-gauze riband of gray.,
and black. The black vOvet bonnets begin to make 1
their appearance; and one for the carriage will, we
are well assured, excite much admfeation it is of
figured velvet, either black and blue, black and
green, or the same sombre hue is enlivened by rose
colour; it is ,chequered en damier ; the riband whiCh
trims it is black, edged with stripes, the same co-
lo
ur as the chequers, and ornamented with several
aigrette feathers of the same tint.

last sbason, but of a rwvel ; placed in front is
a beatrtiful wreath, formed of various aigrettes of real
marabouts; they are of a P./10)17 white, end the ai•
grettes are en houppes.
The most admired colours will be fawn colour,
pistachio green, etherial blue, rose colour, and dark
htrender.
