GENEttAt. OusEnvaatoss.—Ladies who do not attend U the
strict letter of the Court Order, wear alternately stripes
gauze, grey crape; and black silk or bornhazeen, trim:llo with
muslin flounces with broad hems. Cypress gauze is much
worn, and is infinitely more becoming than crape. This,
however, we can venture to assert, that though the sug-
gestions of fancy, or the more powerfnl pleadings of requi-
site economy, may inflounce the 'node of mourning -worn by
our fair countrywomen, yet every heart experiences the same
degree of sadness and regret, and has truly that within
" which passeth show."
Ear pendants of jet are worn of a prodigion3 length, reach-
ing aboVe half way down the throat. Brooches of jet, in the
form of crescents reversed, are most prevalent.
