(From the IVo. ld of Fashion.)

WA!,!-:ING PRESS.—A dress of white muslin,
rirbiy cnibroi,i,Jred in pniies at the border: each of
pe:ll,s it;ela:e the work by a very full ruche,
oro:ed of thread tulle; thus triztliing• a conspicuous
Vandyck border of rich points. The dress is made
high ; and though the body is slightly en gerbc, it
is embroidered in a very splendid manner. A
pointed zone confines it at the waist. The sleeves
are ala Manicluke, with bracelets of dark braided
hair, fastened with a gold heart; above this bracelet
is a cuff, in Vandycked points, trimmed with a
ruche of narrow tulle. A triple ruff of lace encir-
cles the throat. The bonnet is of pale pink satin,
and is trimmed under the brim with long arid broad
points of figured ribbon, pink and Spanish brown.
Strings of the same kind• of ribbon float over the
shoulders. The crown of the bonnet is ornamented
with pink satin, en fors de Cheval, stiffened, awl
discovering between the interstices full bouquets
of pink fancy flowers, without foliage.
EVENING DRESS.—A dress of spring green crepe
Aerophane, with a broad border beautifully Fainted
in different but suitable colours to the green, so that
good taste is not offended by the association of tints
too glaring; the part next to the shoe consists in a
pattern of small spots of deep and rich red; and
over this, which forms a broad border, is a full but
very delicate wreath of foliage and flowers some-
what
resembling the barberry foliage and its fruit;
the leaves are, however, of a green, several shades
darker than the dress. The body is full d 'eVant,
and is made low particularly at the shoulders : but
the bust is very delicately shielded by a transparent
tucker of tulle, edged by narrow blond which draws
across the lower part of thb neck : from this
three rows of blond form a falling tucker, divided
from that which draws, by a narrow roulean of yel-
low and red satin. The sleeves are a
confined at the wrist by a bracelet, fastened by a
cameo. The hair is arranged in curls on each side
of the face, parted on the forehead, and short at the
ears; the curls are rather large. The bows of hair
on the summit of the head are arched, and d la ser-
pent. Three puffs of green crepe Aerophane, taste-
fully disposed, constitute all the ornament. The ear-
pendants are of gold, en Girandoles, and the neck-
lace consists of two rows of gold chain, With large
round links. The shoes are of satin, the colour of
the dress.

EVENING DRESS.—A gown of gaze de Chine,
the colour is a new one, being between a
peach blossom and a lavender bloom. The
dress is worn over a sarsnet slip to corre-
spond. The corsage is cut low round the
bust, and finished by a narrow tucker of blond lace
standing up all round. The back is plain ; the up-
per part of the front is disposed in folds on each side
of the bosom ; these folds are confined in the centre
by a rouleau. Long sleeves a l'inzbecille, of white
blond net, very richly embroidered, and surmounted
by an epaulette en fichu, consisting of four points of
gaze de Chine; they are edged with blond lace, are
laid one over another, and are progressively smaller.
The skirt is trimmed with a biais of the same mate-
rial, which reaches more than half way to the waist;
it is cut in a novel style round the top, and finished
with blond lace, laid on moderately full. The hair
is disposed in loose ringlets, which cluster thickly
over the forehead, and fall low on each side of the
face; the hind hair is partly disposed in a braid,
forming a knot on the crown of the head, and partly
arranged in bows placed very far back. A garland
of exotics encircles the knot, and a few single
flowers are carelessly placed among the tresses on
each side. Ear-rings, necklace, and bracelets, eme-
ralds ; white gros de Naples slippers en sandales ;
white kid gloves.
BALL DREss.—A dress of white crape ; the
ground is embroidered in a running pattern with
white floize silk. The corsage is cut square round
the bust, and of a moderate and becoming height.
The bust is bordered with a small rouleau of azure
blue satin, edged with narrow blond lace. Folds of
plain white crape are placed in the form of a V in
front of the bust, and extend from the shoulder to
the waist, where the point of the V is concealed by
a white gros de Naples ceinture, bound with blue,
and terminating behind in short bows without ends.
Short full sleeve ; the fullness divided by a band of
blue gros de Naples. The skirt is trimmed by a
biais of plain white crape, finished at the upper edge
by a blue rouleau. A trimming of white crape,
arranged en papillon, is laid on the biais. The part
representing the wings is bound with blue; instead
of the body of butterfly, a mead, also bound with
blue, is placed between the wings. The hair is
dressed very high behind, in a profusion of bows,
intermixed with loose ringlets. The front hair is
parted, so as to display the forehead, and arranged
on each side in large curls. Sapphire necklace and
ear-rings; white kid gloves; white gros des Indes
slippers en sandales carved ivory fan, painted in

A DINNER PARTY DRESS.---A dress of gros de
Naples of a bright, rich red, between the ruby and
the amaranth, trimmed at the border of the skirt
with black plucbc-de-soye, or with velvet of a light
and silky texture. The corsage is made plain to fit
the shape, and is encircled by a belt of black vel-
vet. The head-dress consists of a beret of black
satin, tastefully ornamented with white ribbon, with
satin stripes the colour of the gown. Feathers of
the bird of paradise are disposed with much ele-
gance, in detached plumage beneath the brim,
whence they take a spiral direction towards thesum-
rnit of the beret.

BALL DRESS.—Over a white satin slip is a dress
of white tulle, or crepe-aeroplane, with a broad
trimming at the border of a novel kind, in honey-
comb, of the same material as the dress. This
trimming is remarkable for its lightness as for its
beauty; it is surmounted by detached bouquets of
Provence roses. The body is made plain, and the
sleeves short and full. A beautiful bouquet of roses,
with a few sprigs of myrtle, is placed on the right
side of the bust. The hair is arranged in ringlets,
and slightly adorned with flowers, or with jewellery
ornments.
